Study Notes
Skeletal System and Movement
- The skeletal system is crucial for movement.
- It includes passive components (bones) and active components (muscles).
- Bones and muscles work together to enable a wide range of movements.
- The skeletal structure allows for a broad range of movements.
- Bones also support the body and protect internal organs.
- Bones produce blood cells and store minerals.
- The skeletal system comprises bones, cartilage, and ligaments.
- Cartilage is softer than bone.
- Ligaments are the most flexible component of the skeleton connecting bones.
