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 stem cells that produce all of the

skeletal system does. The bones allow humans not to be “blobs‚” there would be no support to do things like standing‚ walking‚ sitting‚ kneeling or crawling. The skeletal system is made up of connective tissues (bone‚ cartilage‚ tendons‚ and ligaments)‚ blood vessels that run through canals in the bone and muscles to aide in mobility. Bones are considered a type of mineralized connective tissue that contains collagen and calcium phosphate (which gives bones their firmness). Bones provide protection to

which is the physical structure of the body and the physiology which is the normal functions of the body help us to move our limbs. Muscles work like leavers and this allow the bones at a joint to work like hinges. When moving someone it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bone will allow them. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual.

The average life expectancy has increased over the last century; the average life expectancy for women is 80 years while men are expected to live to about 75 years old. The population of older adults over the age of 65 years is expected to increase from 35 million in 2000 to 70 million by the year 2030. Aging is a slow decline in the ability of an organism to resist stress‚ damage‚ and disease. As the human body ages there are physical and biological changes that occur as well. The lifestyles that

system. The skeletal system is made up of bones which have an outer hard cortical layer and an inner soft trabecular layer made of cancellous bone. Within some long bone is the all important marrow from where all the blood cells originate after maturation. The skeletal system can be divided into 2 groups: 1. Axial skeleton: The bones here include the skull and bones of the vertebrae column. The skull is subdivided into the 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones‚ while the vertebrae column is made up

However‚ people born with Achondroplasia were unable to have their cartilage develop into bone before birth. The average heights for both males and females are under 4 feet 6 inches. However‚ people born with this disorder are usually not mentally disabled and can perform just as average sized people. The achondroplasia diagnosis is done in

and nerves‚ while hard tissue injuries involve damage to the bone or teeth and overuse injuries occur when excessive and repetitive force is placed on the bones and other connective tissues of the body. So a female athlete with a fracture to the femur is defiantly not a soft tissue injury‚ could be an overuse injury but you can easily classify that it is a hard tissue injury. Hard tissue injuries are injuries involving damage to the bones of the skeleton. In this case fracture to the femur. The 2
