Study Notes
Bones
- Short bones provide stability and support
- Example of a flat bone: ribs
- The cranium and ribs serve to protect vital organs in the musculoskeletal system
Joints
- Hip and shoulder joints allow for flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation
- Elbow, knee, and ankle joints allow for flexion and extension
Connective Tissue
- A specific type of connective tissue acts as a buffer between bones and joints to provide a friction-free surface
Muscles
- Muscles play a crucial role in the musculoskeletal system
- Muscles provide the body with shape
Ligaments
- Ligaments connect bones to each other and provide stability to joints
- Function of ligaments: to hold bones together and provide stability
Tendons
- Function of tendons: to connect muscles to bones and facilitate movement
Blood Cell Production
- Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow
- Long bones have a primary function of supporting the body's movement and providing a site for blood cell production
