 Cartilage
= connective tissue that is strong and
flexible
 All newborns are made of cartilage
 Cartilage hardens and fuses
o Occurs 7 months before birth  25 years old
 Provides cushion and motion at joints (where two
bones meet)
 Provides support and pliability (knee, ankle, and
elbow)
 Living
parts of bone
o Blood vessels
o Nerves
o Blood
o Bone marrow
 Nonliving parts
o Minerals
Periosteum: membrane that covers the outer
surface of all bones
Has bone forming cells and blood vessels
2. Compact Bone: hard dense bone tissue that lies
beneath the outer membrane of a bone
Can heal itself if fractured
3. Spongy Bone: layer of bone tissue of many small
spaces and found just inside the layer of compact
bone
Gives strength and absorbs shock
1.
Marrow: the soft connective tissue that fills
internal spaces in the bone
stem cells are made here
4.
2 Types of Marrow
1. Yellow Marrow – fat and blood vessels
2. Red Marrow- creates red blood cells
Joints = a place in the body where two bones
come together, allow bones to move in
different ways
 Keeps bones far apart so they do not rub
against each other
 Keeps bone in place

3.
Fixed Joints = allow no movement
Ex: Cranium
Pivot Joints = movement of bone around another
bone. Rotates
Ex: Vertebrae and Cranium, Tibia and Fibula,
Radius and Ulna
Ball and Socket Joints= circular movement of
bones
Ex: Shoulder, Femur and pelvis
4.
5.
Hinge Joint = movement in a forward and
backward direction. 1 way movement
Ex: Elbow and Knee
Gliding Joint = movement as bones slide over
each other
Ex: Wrist


 X-rays
are a type of radiation called
electromagnetic waves.
 X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your
body.
 Calcium in bones absorbs X-rays the most, so
bones look white on the radiograph
 Fat and other soft tissues absorb less, and look
gray.
 Air absorbs the least, so lungs look black.
 MRI
works by making certain atoms (water
molecules) in the body emit radio waves by
using a powerful magnet
 Good for looking at the brain and spinal cord
as well as soft tissues such as muscles
 No radiation is used


Is it possible to sit absolutely still
without moving a muscle? Explain
your answer…
What are some examples of muscles in the
human body?
1. Arms: Biceps, Trapezius, Pectoralis, deltoid,
triceps
2. Legs: Quadriceps, Hamstrings,
Gastrocnemius
3. Torso: abdominals, latissimus dorsi,
intercostales,
1.
Involuntary muscle = a muscle that is not under
conscious control
Ex: heart beating, breathing, digesting food
2.
Voluntary muscle = a muscle that is under
conscious control
Ex: smiling, getting up from your chair when the bell rings
Works with the skeletal and nervous system to:
1. support movement
2. maintain posture
3. circulate blood and other materials
around the body
 Skeletal
Muscles = attached to the bones of your
skeleton and provide the force that move your
bones.
 Smooth Muscles= involuntary muscles that are
found inside internal organs of the body
 Cardiac Muscle = found only in your heart.
1.
Ligaments: in joints, hold bones together
2.
Tendons: attach muscle to bone and can undergo
tension



A break in a bone in the body

an injury in which a broken bone pierces the skin, causing a
risk of infection


A strain is a stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon.
Symptoms include: pain, swelling. muscle spasms, and
limited ability to move the affected muscle



A sprain is an injury to a ligament caused by tearing of the
fibers of the ligament.
The ligament can have a partial tear, or it can be completely
torn apart.
Sprained ligaments often swell rapidly and are painful.

A person with scoliosis has a sideways curve to their spine.
The curve is often S-shaped or C-shaped.

Kyphosis is characterized by an abnormally rounded upper
back

the spine of a person with lordosis curves significantly
inward at the lower back.


Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause
progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations)
interfere with the production of proteins needed to form
healthy muscle.



Bursitis is a painful condition that affects the small, fluidfilled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles
near your joints.
The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder,
elbow and hip
Bursitis often occurs near joints that perform frequent
repetitive motion.



Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, which results
in pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement.
Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage, tendon, or
ligaments
Causes
1.
2.
3.
Being Overweight
Previous Injury to the joint
Repetitive action: athletes, ballet dancers




A condition in which the body’s bones become weak and
break easily due to mineral loss.
Most common in elderly women
Increased risk of bone fractures
Causes
o Genetics
o Gender
o Smoking
o Malnutrition
o Lack of physical exercise



Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon
The condition causes pain and tenderness just outside a
joint.
While tendinitis can occur in any of your body's tendons, it's
most common around your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees
and heels.
