Match the following parts of the skeletal system with their descriptions:

Bones = Primary components of the skeletal system, hard, rigid structures made up of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals Joints = Points where two or more bones meet, allow for movement and provide flexibility Cartilage = Smooth, rubbery tissue that covers the ends of bones at the joints, allowing them to glide smoothly over each other Tendons = Connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement and transmitting the force generated by the muscles Signup and view all the answers

Match the following functions of the skeletal system with their descriptions:

Support and Shape = Provides a framework that gives shape and support to our bodies, keeps our bodies upright and maintains our posture Protection = Bones of the skeletal system protect our internal organs from injury and damage Movement = Enables movement through the joints and muscles, works together with the muscular system to produce locomotion Blood Cell Production = Bone marrow, located within the bones, is responsible for producing red and white blood cells Signup and view all the answers

Match the following ways to take care of the skeletal system with their descriptions:

Balanced Diet = Eating a diet rich in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D for maintaining strong bones Regular Exercise = Engaging in weight-bearing exercises such as walking, running, dancing, and weightlifting helps strengthen the bones and muscles Safety Measures = Taking precautions to prevent injuries, using protective gear while playing sports, practicing proper posture Avoid Unhealthy Habits = Limiting the consumption of sugary drinks, alcohol, and tobacco, as they can have a negative impact on bone health Signup and view all the answers
