MUSCLES CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO THREE TYPES. NAME ALL THREE TYPES
HOW MANY BONES DOES THE BODY HAVE?
206
WHAT DOES A TENDON DO?
A tendon is a tough, flexible band of dense connective tissue that serves to attach skeletal muscles to bones.

KNEE JOINT OR ELBOW JOINT
WHAT ARE THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF THE SKELETAL MUSCLES?
WHAT ARE THE TWO CATEGORIES OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM?
WHAT DOES CARTILAGE DO?
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in multiple organ systems of the body. It provides congruence to the articulating bones and allows them to bear weight and glide over each other with very little friction.

WRIST, SHOULDER, HIPS
WHAT ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF EACH GROUP OF SKELETAL MUSCLE?
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A BONE AND WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF THE TWO LAYERS THAT MAKE UP A BONE?
Bones are rigid structures made of calcified dense connective tissue
Compact (cortical) bone is the outer much denser layer of the bone which gives it its smooth, white, and solid appearance.
Spongy (cancellous) bone is the deep airy layer of the bone
WHAT DO JOINTS DO?
Joints provide a fulcrum to the bones, on which they pivot and thereby allow movements of body parts.

ARM FROM SHOULDER JOINT, LEG FROM HIP JOINT
WHAT ARE THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF MOVEMENTS THAT MUSCLES PERFORM?
FLEXING AND EXTENSION
ADDUCTION AND ABDUCTION
ROTATION
SUPINATION AND PRONATION
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BONES? NAME THREE
LONG BONES
SHORT BONES
FLAT BONES
SESAMOID BONES
IRREGULAR BONES
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM? NAME THREE
The bones give the shape to the body and provide the site of attachment to muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
The skeletal system protects the internal organs
The skeletal system serves several metabolic functions. The bones are the storage site of important minerals, most notably calcium and phosphorus.
The bone marrow found in spongy bone is the site of hematopoiesis, which is a process of production of new blood cells.

ANKLE AND FOOT, ROLL OUTWARD AND INWARD
NAME THE THREE CATEGORIES OF JOINTS, LIGAMENTS AND CARTILAGE
SYNOVIAL, FIBROUS AND CARTILAGINOUS
CAPSULAR, INTRACAPSULAR, EXTRACAPSULAR
HYALINE, ELASTIC AND FIBROCARTILAGE
WHAT ARE SOME FUNCTIONS OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM? NAME THREE
The main function of the muscular system is to produce movement of the body
Both during movement and stationary positions, muscles contribute to the overall support and stability of joints
In addition, the muscles also play an important role in maintaining posture.
Another important function of muscles is heat production
