ligaments
6skeletal system functions
support, detoxification
protection
movement
blood formation
mineral storage &balance
support in the skeletal system
bone in vertebral column,pelvic,& legs hold up body, jaw bone supports teeth, cartilage supports nose, ears& ribs, tendons support & attach muscle to bone, ligaments support & hold bone together
protection in the skeletal system
skull protects brain
vertebral column protects spinal cord
rib cage protects heart and lungs
blood formation in the skeletal system
bone marrow in many bones is the major producer of blood cells
mineral storage and balance in the skeletal system
system stores calcium and phosphate then releases them when the body needs them (calcium needed for muscle contraction, communication between neurons, and blood clotting)
detoxification of the skeletal system
bone remove metals such as lead and radium from the blood, stores them, then slowly releases them for excretion
7 factors that affect bone growth
genes, nutrition, exercise, mineral deposition, mineral resorption, vitamins, and hormones
genes in bone growth
they determine the shape and size of bones, and ultimate adult height
nutrition in bone growth

exercise in bone growth
increases bone density and mass
mineral deposition in bone growth

mineral resorption in bone growth
calcium and phosphorous released from the bone into the plasma when needed
EX: calcium for clotting, communication, and muscle contraction/ phosphorous is a component of DNA and RNA
vitamins in bone growth
vitamin A activates osteoblasts
C is essential for collagen synthesis
D stimulates absorption, transport, and deposition of calcium and phosphates into bones
