Functions of the Skeleton

Support: provides a solid framework that maintains body shape.
Protection: shields vital organs, e.g., the ribcage protects the heart and lungs.
Movement: bones work with muscles; muscles attach to bones via tendons and pull on them to create movement at joints.
Blood cell production: bone marrow inside some bones produces red and white blood cells.
Storage: stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus for bone strength and release when needed.

Major Parts of the Skeleton

Skull: made of many fused bones; protects the brain and forms the face.
Spine (Vertebral Column): 33 stacked vertebrae; supports body weight and protects the spinal cord.
Ribcage: 12 pairs of ribs; protects heart and lungs, supports upper body, aids breathing.
Pelvis: bowl-shaped; supports upper body weight and protects lower abdomen organs (bladder, intestines).
Limbs: arms (humerus, radius, ulna) and legs (femur, tibia, fibula); hands and feet have many small bones for range of movement.

Bones of the Arm

Humerus: upper arm bone.
Radius: outer forearm bone (thumb side).
Ulna: inner forearm bone (little finger side).

Bones of the Leg

Femur: thigh bone (longest bone in the body).
Tibia: shin bone (larger, weight-bearing).
Fibula: thinner lower leg bone (beside tibia).

Joints and Movement

Joints are where two bones meet, allowing movement.
Muscles contract and pull on bones via tendons to create movement.
Skeletal muscles work in antagonistic pairs (one contracts, the other relaxes).

Major bones of the human skeleton (anterior view).
