Movement. 1 of 42 Where does the skeletal system allow movement? At the joint. 2 of 42 What does the shape and type of bone determine? The amount of movement. 3 of 42 What kind of movement do long bones allow? Enables gross movements. 4 of 42 What kind of movement do short bones allow? Finer controlled movements. 5 of 42 What are flat bones for? Protection of vital organs. 6 of 42 What do the different joint types allow? Different types of movement. 7 of 42 What do muscles pull on when they contract? The bone. 8 of 42 What does the skeleton provide for the muscles? A point of attatchment. 9 of 42 Why does the skeletal system work with the muscular system? To allow movement at joints. 10 of 42 Give an example of a long bone : Femur (thigh bone). 11 of 42 Give an example of a flat bone : Cranium (skull), sternum (breastbone), scapula (shoulder blade). 12 of 42 Give an example of a short bone : Carpals (hand), metacarpals (hand), tarsals (foot), phalanges (hand). 13 of 42 What are long bones for? They help translate the force generated by skeletal muscle into mechanical leverage. 14 of 42 What are flat bones for? They help protect the body's vital internal organs and with muscle attatchment. 15 of 42 What are short bones for? They help provide support and stability with little movement. 16 of 42 What type of bones are the blood cell made within the body? Long bones. 17 of 42 What are the three long bones called that the arm contains? The humerus, the radius, the ulna. 18 of 42 Where does a lot of the movement happen? Long bones. 19 of 42 What type of bones are known as the levers of the body? Long bones 20 of 42 What are the short bones within the body are designed to take? A lot of weight and absorb the stresses of activities. 21 of 42 Give two examples of how short bones take a lot of weight and absorb the stresses of activites : Running, jumping. 22 of 42 What two bones are usually protective bones? Flat bones, irregular bones. 23 of 42 What are irregular bones? Irregular bones often provide protection and support within the body. 24 of 42 Give two example of irregular bones : Platella (kneecap), vertebrae. 25 of 42 Where are long bones found? In the limbs (arms or legs). 26 of 42 What are long bones used for? Movement, shape, blood cell production, mineral storage. 27 of 42 Where are short bones found? Hands, feet. 28 of 42 What are short bones used for? Shape and small movements. 29 of 42 Where are flat bones found? Near vital (important) internal organs. 30 of 42 What are flat bones used for? Mainly for protection? 31 of 42 Can flat bones move? No. 32 of 42 What types of bones can move? Long bones, short bones 33 of 42 What are the 4 classifications (types) of bones : Flat, long, irregular, short bones. 34 of 42 What are irregular bones used for? Small movement and protection. 35 of 42 What is a ligament? It connects bone to bone. 36 of 42 What is a tendon? It connects muscle to bone. 37 of 42 Give an example of a ligament : The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) connects the shin bone (tibia) with the thigh bone (femur). 38 of 42 Give an example of a tendon : The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscle with your ankle bone. 39 of 42 What are the only short bones in the human skeleton? Carpals (wrists), tarsals (ankles). 40 of 42 Where are carpals/metacarpals found? In the hand. 41 of 42 Where are tarsals/metatarsals found? In the foot. 42 of 42
