About Lesson

The musculoskeletal system provides support and gives shape to the body. The   muscles cover the bones and supply the forces that make movement possible.       They also provide a protective covering for internal organs and produce body heat

 

Anatomical Terms

                  Word                                      Meaning

  • Appendicular skeleton:   Bones of shoulder, pelvis and upper and   lower extremities
  • Axial Skeleton:   Bone of skull, chest, cervical, thoracic and lumbar                                               vertebrae

Type of Bones

  • Compact bone   : Tightly solid, strong bone tissue resistant to bending
  • Long bones        : bones of arms and legs
  • Short bones:        :bones of wrist and ankles
  • Flat bones           : bones of ribs, shoulder blades, pelvis and skull
  • Irregular bones   : bones of vertebrae and face
  • Sesamoid bones : round bones that are found near joints (patella)
  • Ligament   :a flexible band of fibrous tissue and    that connects bone to bone
  • Synovial membrane   :membrane lining the capsule of a joint
