Study Notes
Human Movement
- The human body is designed for movement
- The system for movement consists of passive and active parts
- Bones are the passive part, and muscles are the active part
- Bones allow a wide range of movement
- Apart from supporting the body and providing leverage for muscle, bones also protect internal organs
- Bones also store minerals and produce blood cells
- The skeletal system also includes cartilage and ligaments
- Cartilage is softer than bone
- Ligaments are the most elastic part of the skeleton, connecting bones
