Study Notes
Human Movement
- Human bodies are designed for movement
- The musculoskeletal system is responsible for movement
- Bones (passive component) and muscles (active component) work together for movement
Bones
- Bones form the skeletal structure of the body
- They support and protect internal organs
- Bones also produce blood cells and store minerals
Muscles
- Muscles are the active component of movement
- Muscle action involves the bones
- Muscles and bones work together to produce movement
Cartilage and Ligaments
- Cartilage is a softer tissue than bone, part of the skeletal structure
- Ligaments connect bones together, and they are the most elastic part of the skeleton
- Ligaments are what keeps the skeleton stable and connected
