Summary: Bones, Cartilage,
Tendons, Ligaments, joints, and
skeletal Muscles

Contains a summary of:
•

Bones (contents of bone, types of bones(shapes))

•

Summary of cartilage

•

Summary of Ligaments

•

Summary of tendons

•

joints (classification of joints and synovial joints)

•

Skeletal Muscles

Bones:

A majority of the skeleton is made up of bone
...
Spongy bones are capable of resisting stress, as well as the production of white
and red blood cells
...

...
Hard, dense
bones form part of the compact bone

Bone Classification:
Short bones
Irregular bones
Flat bones
Long bone

Types of Bones:
Short Bones:

Carpals at the wrist are examples of short bones
...


Irregular bones:
Examples of irregular bones would be the hip bones and the vertebrae
...


Flat bones:
Examples of flat bones would be the cranial bones, sternum, ribs, and
scapulae
...


Long bone:
Examples of flat bones would be the femur and phalanges
...
These bones are long
...
The epiphyses contain cartilage
...
lumenlearning
...
It's got a lower content of minerals
compared to the bones
...
(To get a feel of what cartilage may feel like
just touch your ear See how flexible, tough, and elastic like that feel?◆
^ ) Cartilage is
tough and elastic like
...
It lines many joints and allows for
smooth movement
...


Tendons:
Tendons are composed of inelastic fibrous connective tissue that are attaches muscle to
bone
...
In a
joint they stretch only enough to control the movement
...
)

Joints:
Where two or more joints meet and are joined by ligament or cartilage
...

Classification of Joints:
•

Immovable joints: No movement is allowed
...


•

Movable joints (synovial joints): Movement is allowed
...
Joints are lodged in a tough capsule containing synovial fluid,
which decreases the friction of movement
...


•

Hinge joint: Allows for

movement up and down
...


•

Gliding joint (sliding or

plane joint): This allows forflat
bones to slide over one another
...
co
...


•

Allows and controls movement
...


•

Maintains your posture
...


Antagonistic muscles:
These are action pair muscles
...

So, if one contracts the other relaxes
...


A good example of this would be muscles in the biceps and triceps
...
When you lift the weight your biceps contract
