Study Notes
Components of the Musculoskeletal System
- Components include bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
- Skin, nerves, and blood vessels, while associated, are not primary components.
Primary Function of the Musculoskeletal System
- Provides support and structure to the body.
- Facilitates movement through muscular contraction and joint function.
- Protects vital organs and stores minerals (calcium and phosphorus).
Role of Tendons and Ligaments
- Tendons connect muscles to bones, facilitating movement by transmitting force.
- Ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing stability to joints.
Related Systems
- The musculoskeletal system contains critical components of the endocrine system, particularly related to calcium and phosphorus regulation.
Mineral Storage
- The main storage system for calcium and phosphorus in the body is the skeletal system, specifically within the bones.
