Study Notes
Skeletal System
- Composed of 206 bones
- Axial skeleton: 80 bones (skull, vertebrae, ribs)
- Appendicular skeleton: 126 bones (arms, legs, pelvic girdle)
- Ligaments: Connect bone to bone, supporting joints
- Tendons: Connect muscle to bone, enabling movement
- Connective tissue: Provides structure and support to tissues and organs
- Bone types: Long (femur, humerus), short (carpals, tarsals), flat (skull, ribs), irregular (pelvis, vertebrae)
- Red bone marrow: Produces blood cells
Skeletal System Conditions
- Sprain: Painful swelling/bruising around a joint, possibly with displacement
- Osteoporosis: A condition with no symptoms; often associated with lack of exercise
- Osteoarthritis: Breakdown of cartilage; results in deterioration
- RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation – a treatment for sprains and joint injuries
