Let’s summarize:
1. Identify the chemical secreted by
endocrine glands. HORMONES
2. Identify the cells affected by hormones.
TARGET CELLS
3. How are hormones transported to target
cells? BLOOD
4. Identify the structures hormones attach
to on the surface of the target cell.
RECEPTORS

1. Releases hormones in times of stress.Adrenal glands
2. Formerly known as the master gland.Pituitary
3. Release estrogen.Ovaries

How is your skeletal system involved in

• Your bones are a point where muscles,
tendons, and ligaments are attached in the
body.
How is your skeletal system involved in
movement?
• Vertebrates use their skeleton to move.

Did you know…
1. Yellow marrow is found in the hollow interior
of the middle portion of long bones.
2. Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones,
such as the pelvis, sternum, cranium, ribs,
vertebrae and scapulae, and at the ends of
long bones such as the femur and humerus.
3. When someone is born, all marrow is red.
Eventually, some of it gets converted into
yellow marrow.
4. The fat cells in yellow marrow are the last
resort for body’s energy requirements and can
be consumed in an event of extreme hunger.
Let’s summarize…
1. Identify the tissue that connects muscles to
bones. Tendons
Ligaments
2. Identify the tissue that connects bone to bone.
3. Identify the part of the bone that produces
blood cells. Bone marrow
4. Identify some characteristics of cartilage.
Not as hard as bones, flexible, slippery
5. Identify substances stored in bones.
Calcium, phosphorus, fat
6. How do bones protect the body?
The skull protects the brain.
The ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
Bones
Cranium = Skull
Your face has 14 bones.
Clavicle = collar bone
Rib cage (protect)
Sternum = breast bone
Vertebrae = backbones
Scoliosis
Did You Know?
Humans and giraffes have
the same number of bones
in their necks? A Giraffe’s
neck vertebrae are just
much, much longer!
• Scapula: shoulder blade
Pelvis = hips
Femur = thigh bone (longest &
strongest)
Your Femur (thigh bone)
is stronger than concrete.
• It’s about 1/4 of your
height.
• Bone is stronger, inch
for inch than the steel
used in skyscrapers.
Patella = knee cap
Carpals = wrist bones
Metacarpals = hand bones
If you break your wrist as an
adult it will take you 8
weeks to
heal.
A five year old child who
breaks their wrist only takes
3
weeks to heal.
Phalanges = fingers & toes
One fourth of your bones
are located in your feet.
The only bone not broken so far
during
any ski accident is one located
in your inner ear.
The jawbone is the hardest
in the human body.
• The smallest is the stirrup bone in
the ear which can measure 1/10 of
an inch.
