SCIENCE
It is the movement of the
entire body from one
place to another.
The movement that does not
involve complete shifting of body is
called movement of curvature.
Example; bending, lifting etc.
Allah swt has designed 2 systems
for our body’s movement
Muscular
System
The skeletal system is made
up of 2 parts:
Bone
(is hard)
Cartilage
(is Elastic
and soft)
FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON SYSTEM
• Shape and support to the body.
• Protects the soft and delicate vital
organs of the body.
• Movement of the body.
• Some bones enclose bone marrow-a
blood-forming tissue.
• Bones store calcium and phosphorus
making them strong and hard.
The skeleton is of two types:
Endoskeleton-
Skeleton within the
body
Exoskeleton-
Skeleton outside the
body
Usually insects have
EXOSKELETONS.
The skeletal system is made up
of bones, joints and connective
tissue.

COLUMN:
RIBS: 12 in number
10 fixed, 2 floating.
JOINTS
Skeletal

Joints
Fixed
Ribs, joint to the
sternum, bones of skull
movable
ball and socket hinge pivot gliding
partially movable;
joints in vertebral
column.
WHAT ARE TENDONS
AND LIGAMENTS?
Muscles help in movement only by
contracting
THE MOVEMENT OF A SNAKE:
Do they not see the birds above them with
wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in?
None holds them [aloft] except the Most
Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
