This is a presentation about the skeletal system that I presented for my second methodology Physical Education.

1. BONES AND BONES

2. Guess the type
of skeletons
What animal or human does
these skeletons belong to.

3. FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN SKELETAL
ATONOMY!

4. Human bones are
stronger than steel.

5. The longest bone is
the femur and the
shortest bone is
called the stirrup.
Top right - Stirrup
Bottom right- femur

6. Humans
have the
same
amount of
neck bones
as giraffes.

7. Your teeth are
part of your
skeleton.
AMAZING!!

8. THE HUMAN
SKELETAL SYSTEM

9. WHAT COMRPMISES
OF THE SKELETAL
SYSYEM
• The skeletal system includes
all the bones in the body, and
the joints were they attach to
each other.

10. FUNCTIONS OF A SKELETAL SYSTEM
OUR SKELETON PROTECTS OUR
INTERNAL ORGANS.
IT PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK
THAT ALLOWS US TO STAND
UPRIGHT AND MOVE.
IT STORES MINERALS THAT
OUR BODY NEEDS TO
FUNCTION PROPERLY AND
PRODUCES BLOOD CELLS.
OUR SKELETAL SYSTEM IS
SHAPED TO SUPPORT OUR
BODY.
PROVIDES A PLACE FOR
MUSCLE ATTACHMENT.

11. The skeletal system
is made up of 206
different bones.
Which come in 4 basic shapes.

12. SKELETAL
SYSTEM

13. 1. Long bones
such as the
femur.

14. 2. Short bones
such as wrist or
ankle bones.

15. 3. The Flat
bones such
as those in
the skull

16. 4. Irregular
bones such as
the Vertebrae

17. The Axial skeleton
• The Axial skeleton form the
longitudinal axis of the body
and the appendicular
skeleton which consists of
bones that are appended to
the axial skeleton.
• It includes 80 bones, which
includes the skull, vertebral
column and thorax.

18. The
Appendicular
skeleton
• It consists of the bones of the shoulders,
upper extremities(arms), hips and lower
extremities(legs).
• The bones of the upper extremities are
connected to the Axial skeleton via the
shoulder girdle.
• It consists of the scapula (Shoulder blade)
and clavicle (collar bone).

19. The arm is
composed of the
Humerus, radius and
ulnar of the forearm
and wrist and hand.

20. The bones of the lower
extremities (legs) are
connected to the
lower axial skeleton via
the pelvic gurgle (hip
bones).

21. The tibia bears of all
our body's weight, the
fibular bears no weight
at all.

22. The Patella
(kneecap) is a
bone between
the femur and
tibula. It
protects the
knee joint and
tendons that
form the knee.

23. The bones of
the ankle
and foot
must carry
our body
weight as we
stand, walk
and run.
