Fact A
Function of the skeletal system:
A. The skeleton provides the framework for the body. Bones provide the basic shape and structure for the body. What do you think we would look like if we didn’t have bones?
Fact B
B. The bones are like the beams inside of a building and all of our organs, muscles and skin are organized around the bones, just like the walls of a building. Cartilage is a soft material that is on the ends of some bones. The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones.
Fact C
C. The skeleton protects organs in the body. Bones can cover and protect many of our major organs. They are like the armor that protects our insides. Can anyone think of any examples?
Fact D
D. Blood cell production: Inside of the long bones in our bodies there is a cavity that is filled with a substance called Bone Marrow. In this tissue, new blood cells are produced and damaged blood cells are repaired. Bone marrow is a spongy substance that’s found inside large bones like your pelvis and femur. Bone marrow houses stem cells. Stem cells are responsible for producing many of your body’s most important cells, including blood, brain, heart and bone cells
Fact E
E. Movement: The bones are the levers that help the body move in different directions and in different ways. Here is a question for you: Do bones move by themselves when we walk, talk or move around? Or are they controlled by something else? What makes them move?
Fact F
F. Mineral storage: Describe what a mineral is?
It is a substance that the body needs to carry out all of our bodily functions like thinking, breathing and moving around. One of the minerals that the body needs is calcium. Calcium is a major part of bone, and this is where the body stores calcium. It is very important to make sure you eat enough calcium, your body will take the calcium it needs from your bones. Can someone tell me why this could be bad? The less calcium the bone has, the weaker it will become.
