Functions of the Skeletal System

Bones are the framework of the body, support and protect organs, work with muscles, ligaments & tendons to allow movement, store calcium, and red bone marrow forms blood cells.

Bone is a connective tissue that is the second hardest tissue in the human body, only dental enamel is harder.

Tough, fibrous tissue membrane that surrounds and forms the outer covering of the bone.

Dense, hard, and very strong bone that forms the protective covering of bone.

Lighter and not as strong as compact bone, found in ends and inner portions of long bones.

Located in the shaft of a long bone and surrounded by compact bone. Yellow bone marrow is found here.

Connective tissue membrane that lines the medullary cavity.

Nearest to the attachment point of the extremity to the body.

An opening (hole) in a bone through which blood vessels, nerves, and ligaments pass.

Normal projection on the surface of the bone that serves as an attachment for muscles and tendons.

Located within the spongy bone, manufactures red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and thrombocytes.

Functions as a fat storage area, located in the medullary cavity of long bones.

Smooth, rubbery, blue-white connective tissue; acts as a shock absorber.

Covers the surface of bones where they come together to form joints.

Curved fibrous cartilage found in some joints, e.g., knee, TMJ.

Inflexible layers of dense connective tissue, also known as sutures.
