Unit 18 (Ch. 14) Support & Movement
What’s another word for movement?
Which two systems work together to allow support & movement?
The Role of the Skeleton
• What are the functions
of the skeletal system?
– support the body
– protect organs
– aid in movement
• provides attachment site
for muscles
Bone Structure
• Is bone living?
– Yes, even though it’s hard & made of minerals,
bone IS a LIVING tissue that grows.
• Think about it… are you the same height as you were
when you were… a baby? …a young child? …last year?
Bone Structure
• What types of tissue make up
the skeletal system?
– cartilage
– bone
•
•
•
•
compact (solid) bone
spongy bone
membrane (periosteum)
marrow
– ligaments
Bone Structure
• What is cartilage?
– A tough, flexible tissue that doesn’t store calcium,
so it is less dense than bone.
• Where is cartilage found?
– mostly at the ends of bone
• Why?
– acts as a cushion for joints
Bone Structure
• What types of tissues are
found in bone?
– compact (solid) bone
• hard part of bone
– very strong b/c stores calcium
• usually found along outer edges
– spongy bone
• has many empty spaces
• usually found near end of bones
– membrane (periosteum)
• covers bone
• contains nerves & blood vessels
– marrow
• soft center in bone
• makes blood cells

Bone Structure
• What are ligaments?
– connective tissue that holds bones to other bones
• What is a joint?
– where bones
come together
• What allows
joints to move
smoothly?
– cartilage
covering the
end of the
bones
– fluid-filled bags
between
cartilage & bone

Classification
of Joints
Animation
ball & socket
hinge
pivot
gliding
Fixed Joints
• Are not connected by ligaments.
– Do they move?
• no
– What is an example?
• skull
Movable Joints
• 1. ball & socket
– In which direction(s) does it move?
• rotate, front-back, side-side
– most mobility of all joints
– What are examples?
• hip, shoulder
Movable Joints
• 2. hinge
– In which direction(s) does it move?
• open-closed (only in 1 direction)
– like a door
– What are examples?
• elbow, knee
• 3. pivot
Movable Joints
– In which direction(s)
does it move?
• twists/rotates
– like a door knob
– What are examples?
• skull w/ vertebrae,
lower arm
• 4. gliding
Movable Joints
– In which direction(s) does it move?
• slides back-forth, side-side
– What are examples?
• vertebrae (back), wrist, ankle
The Role of Muscles
• What is the
muscular system?
– all muscles in
the body
• What is the
function of the
muscular system?
– movement
• What is a muscle?
– tissue that can
change shape &
length
Human Muscles Types
• What are the 3
different muscle
types in humans?
– skeletal (a.k.a.
striated)
– smooth
– cardiac
• Each has a
different
structure, pattern,
job, & location in
the body.
Human Muscles Types
• 1. skeletal (striated)
– What do the cells look like?
• long fibers
• dark & light stripes (striations)
– Where are they typically found?
• most of the body
• attached to skeleton
– What is their function?
• move bones of the skeleton
– Are their movements voluntary
or involuntary?
• voluntary
Human Muscles Types
• 2. smooth
– What do the cells look like?
• tapered (thin ends, thick center)
• no stripes (no striations)
– Where are they typically found?
• digestive tract, respiratory tract,
blood vessels, other organs
– What is their function?
• regulate activity of organs or vessels
– Are their movements voluntary or
involuntary?
• voluntary
Human Muscles Types
• 3. cardiac
– What do the cells look like?
• long fibers that branch & weave
together
• dark & light stripes (striations)
– Where are they typically found?
• ONLY in heart
– What is their function?
• contracts rhythmically pump blood
out of heart
– Are their movements voluntary
or involuntary?
• involuntary

Function?
movement
pump blood

to arteries
peristalsis, regulate activity
of organs or diameter or
vessels
Voluntary or
involuntary?

involuntary
How Muscles Work
• What are tendons?
– connective tissue that holds muscles to bones
• must be attached to bones at 2 points
– at opposite ends of the muscle
How Muscles Work
• How do muscles work?
– by changing their length
• How does it do this?
– muscle fibers contract (or relax)
» cannot lengthen
– So, skeletal muscles must work
in opposing pairs.
» flexors
» extensors
Muscles Work in Pairs
• What does a flexor do when it contracts?
– bends the joint
– Examples of flexors?
•Animation of Muscles Working in Pairs
•Muscles Contracting in Pairs
• biceps, hamstring (back of thigh)

extensor
Muscles Work in Pairs
• What does an extensor do when it contracts?
– straightens the joint
– Examples of extensors?
