Study Notes
- The muscular system is called Pay Sips
- Bones contain:
- Primary and secondary parts
- Nerves and senses
- The first lesson
Support in Humans
- The skeletal system in humans supports the body, protects some organs, helps in movement, and gives the human its unique shape.
The Skeletal System in Humans
- Components include:
- The skeletal
- Cartilage, which lacks a blood supply, but has blood vessels and nerves.
- Joints
- Ligaments
- Tendons
The Skeletal
- Parts of axial, and peripheral skeleton
The Skeletal System
- Consists of 206 bones, each having a shape and size suitable for its function.
- The following diagram illustrates the composition of the skeletal structure in humans:
Composition of the Skeletal System in Humans
- Axial Skeleton includes:
- Skull which is a round 8 bones
- Vertebral Column and rib cage which is 25 bones
- Appendicular Skeleton includes:
- Pectoral girdle, upper limbs
- The pelvic girdle and lower limbs
Additional Information
- There are bones attached to the skull
- The auditory ossicles are the smallest three bones in the human body, located in the middle ear.
- These include the malleus, incus, and stapes in each ear.
- The hyoid bone is located above the larynx and is connected to many muscles.
- There are more than 620 muscles in the human body
