Apd, Skeletal Function,

Front 1

The skeleton has multiple functions, three of which are:

Back 1

To form the framework of the human body.
To serve as a means of attachment for muscles.
To protect vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and brain.

Front 2

The skeletal system also has functions that are not so apparent in everyday life (unless they stop working!) but that are equally important:

Back 2

Bone marrow and cell formation
Mineral storage

Front 3

The internal soft tissues of the bones contain

Back 3

Marrow

Front 4

Bone marrow produces:

Back 4

erythropoiesis (the formation of red blood cells) and the formation of white blood cells.

Front 5

Erythropoietic marrow is found in:

Back 5

hip bones
proximal ends of the thigh and arm bones
bones of the skull
vertebrae
sternum

Front 6

Red blood cells, also called

Back 6

erythrocytes, carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and return carbon dioxide and other waste products.

Front 7

White blood cells, also called

Back 7

leukocytes, help fight infections and generally support the immune system.

There are many different types of white blood cells, including:

lymphocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
neutrophils (granulocytes) slide 3

Hint 7

platelets or thromocytes (which help control bleeding)
Stem cells-blood cells that reproduce themselves and all other blood cells.

Bones of the skull

Front 12

Red blood cells are called

Back 12

Erythrocytes which carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and return carbon dioxide and other waste products

Leukocytes fight infections and support the immune system.

Front 14

There are different type of white blood cells:

Back 14

Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Eosinophils
Basophils
Neutrophils (granulocytes)
Platelets or thrombocytes (which helps control bleeding)
Stem cells-Blood cells that repoduce themselves and all other blood cells
