P1
Functions:
1) Allows movement of
the body as a whole
and its individual parts
Bones act as levers and by
forming joints allows
muscles to pull on them
and create joint
movements… so we can
move in all directions and
perform the functions we
need on a daily basis.
2) Provides
a
framework for the
body
The skeleton gives the body its
distinctive shape and is the framework
that which to attach muscles and other
soft tissue.
Without a
skeleton we
would be a
big bag of….
FLUID!!
Certain bones contain RED
bone marrow, the bone
marrow produces RED blood
cells, WHITE blood cells and
PLATELETS
3) Production of blood
cells
4) Protection
Bones will support and protect the vital
organs they contain.
What 4 examples can
you think of???
The ‘certain’ bones are: Pelvis,
Sternum, Vertebrae, Costals, Cranial
bones and Clavicle.
Fats (triglycerides) are also stored
within the YELLOW bone marrow.
6) Storage of minerals
and fats
Bones themselves are minerals stored
within cartilage… acting as a mineral
store for Calcium, Magnesium and
Phosphorous.
5) Attachment of soft
tissue
Bones provide the surface
for attachment of soft
tissues, such as Muscles,
Ligaments and Tendons.
1) Learners must describe the
axial and
appendicular skeleton.
different types of
bone in each of the skeletons and be able
to locate all of the named bones
2) The
stated in the Unit content (List).
3) They must also describe the
of the skeletal system.
