IAP 100 Test 3 Review
× Bone is what type of tissue?
Supportive Connective
× What is the function of the skeletal system?
1.Support
Provides structural support for the entire body
Bones provide attachments for soft tissues and organs
2. Storage of Minerals and lipids
Mineral reserves for calcium and phosphorus ions held in calcium salts in bone
YELLOW BONE MARROW stores lipids for energy reserves
3. Blood Cell Production
Red blood cells, white blood cells, and other blood elements produced in the RED BONE
MARROW
4. Protection
Soft tissues and organs are surrounded by skeletal structures
Example
The skull encloses the brain
The rib protect the heart and lungs
5. Leverage
Bones function as levers
Change size and direction for force generated by skeletal muscles
Result is body movement
× What are the divisions of the skeletal system?
Axial-head, neck, chest, and back. Serves to protect the brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs.
Comprised of 80 bones including the skull, the vertebral column and thoracic cage
Appendicular- upper and lower limbs, plus bones of pectoral and pelvic girdles that attach limbs.
126 bones
