SKELETAL SYSTEM The Arctic wolf’s body is built for long-distance travel and withstand different types of weather than other wolves. The Arctic wolf’s skeleton system is made for them to run‚ jump‚ and catch their prey. The part of the wolf’s skeletal starts with the part of the body that has bones of the limbs‚ skull‚ and a deep chest. 1. The limbs of the wolf include the legs and toes.

Function of the Skeletal System 1. Support 2. Movement: The bones of the upper and lower limbs pull and push‚ with the help of muscles. 3 storage as a mineral store. 97% of the body’s calcium is stored in bone. Here it is easily available and turns over fast. In pregnancy the demands of the fetus for calcium require a suitable diet and after menopause hormonal control of calcium levels may be impaired: calcium leaches out leaving brittle osteoporotic bones. 4. Protective. Skull for the brain

Chapter 5: The Skeletal System I. Introduction. The skeletal system consists of the bones‚ along with the cartilage and fibrous connective tissue that make up the ligaments that connect bones to bone at joints. A. Functions of the Skeleton. 1. The skeleton supports the body. 2. The skeleton protect soft body parts. The skull protects the brain‚ the rib cage protects the heart and lungs‚ and the vertebrae protect the spinal cord. 3. The skeleton produces blood cells. Red bone marrow contains

The Skeletal System The skeletal system is made up of bones‚ the joints where bones meet‚ and the connective tissues called cartilages that hold the bones together. The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones‚ and can be divided up into to two parts‚ the Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular Skeleton. (Adams et al.‚ pg. 4)(Boundless‚ 2013) Axial Skeleton The axial skeleton forms the main axis or core of the skeletal system. It consists of the skull‚ vertebral column‚ and thoracic cage. As noted by

Chapter 6 The Skeletal System: Bones and Joints PART I * A born baby has about 276 bones while an adult has 206 bones‚ this is because as you grow some bones join together in a single bone. * Bones are 20% of your weight. * The Skeletal System consist of: * Bones * Cartilages * Tendons * Ligaments * Joints * Functions of the skeletal system -bones perform various anatomic (mechanical) & physiologic function. They: 1. Stabilize‚ provide shape & support the

Common in Multiple Myeloma‚ a plasma cell malignancy. Multiple Myeloma is a hematologic malignancy associaated with clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells within bone marrow and the development of a destructive osteolytic bone disease. Certain cancers cause "paraneoplastic syndrome" and produce excess amounts of hormones in the body. Such

Chapter 6 Study Guide 1. List and describe the major functions of the skeletal system. Elaborate. Support: the framework that supports the body and cradles the organs. Protection: surrounds the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and vital organs. Movement: bones are levers for muscles. Minerals: bones store calcium and phosphate. 2. Compare the axial skeleton with the appendicular skeleton. Axial: forms the long axis of the body and include the bones of the skull‚ vertebral column and the rib cage

The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the
