RED MARROW

support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERSbone marrow found at
the end of the long bones, also manufactures red and white blood cells

OSTEOCYTES

support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERSThey are bone cells
that produce a hard, calcium rich extracellular matrix, and are embedded in a matrix of
collagen and minerals and form the skeleton of an organism

SKELETON

support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERSthe hard structure
(bones and cartilages) that provides a framework for the body, as well as attachment
sites for muscle. Over 200 bones.

AXIAL SKELETON
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERSpertaining to the
central part of the body, the head and trunk

APPENDICULAR SYSTEM

support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERScomposed of 126
bones in the human body. The word appendicular is the adjective of the noun
appendage, which itself means a part that is joined to something larger. Functionally it is
involved in locomotion (Lower limbs) of the axial skeleton and manipulation of objects in
the environment (Upper limbs).

, support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - ANSWERSthe strong connective
tissue cords that attach skeletal muscles to bones

cartilage
