Ch-2 Skeletal System
The human body is the most complex of all organisms present on this earth. A human body is
made-up of nearly 206 bones. https://youtu.be/24jgE9rKE8o
Did you know that new born babies have around 305 bones! A baby’s skeleton is mostly made up of
cartilage. As it grows older cartilage undergoes ossification to form a complete skeletal system, having
206 bones. Let us learn about a human skeletal system.
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
The skeletal system is a system which supports the framework of bones in our body and gives
it a particular and definite shape.
The human skeleton consists of the skull, the backbone, the ribcage and two pairs of limbs.
-
Skull: Acts like a helmet and protect the brain.
Forelimbs: Help us to lift various objects.
Ribcage: Protect delicate organs like heart and lungs.
Lower Limbs: Along with muscles they help in movement.
The framework of bones present in our body is known as skeleton.
BONE
Bones are made-up of minerals which include calcium and phosphorus. These make the bones
strong.
Types of Bones
Bones may be short, long, flat or irregular.
Long Bones Short Bones Flat Bones Irregular Bones
Thigh Bone Wrist Bone Breast Bone Backbone Spine
-
Skull
The skull protects the brain. It is a hallow round structure present in the head.
Functions:
The skull covers and protects the brain.
It gives shape to the face.
It supports the teeth present in upper and lower jaw.

Points to ponder
Our teeth form part of our skeletal system, but are not counted as bones. The
hardest substance in our body is enamel coating on our teeth.
SKULL
22 BONES
8 bones form skull 14 bones form face
https://youtu.be/Nc5IRj3OJhE
-
NOTE: All the bones that form the skull are fixed and immovable, except for the lower
jaw.
BACK BONE
The bone present on the extreme back of our body is known as backbone. It is also
known as the vertebral column or spine. The skull is attached to the backbone.
Vertebral Column – Long bony structure made – up of 33 bones.
Ribcage
The bony cage present in the chest region is called the ribcage. It is made-up of 12 pairs
of thin curved bones called ribs.
Sternum: The long flat bone present in the centre of chest is called sternum.
Backbone: The bone present at the back supporting the ribs is known as backbone.
Floating Ribs: The last two pairs of ribs that are not attached to sternum are known as
floating ribs.
Function: It protects the delicate organs such as heart and lungs.
-
Limbs
Human beings have four limbs – These include a pair of forelimbs called arms and pair of
lower limbs called legs.
Forelimbs
The upper part of the arm contains a single bone called HUMERUS.The bones of upper
arm and lower arm join at elbow.
Function: The forelimbs help in lifting things.
Lower limbs
The upper part of the leg contains the largest bone called the FEMUR (Thigh bone). The
lower part of leg also contains two bones. The bones of leg and at knee.
Function: The lower limbs help us to walk, move and run. It also supports the weight of the
body.
-
Points to ponder
The long bones of the skeleton are hollow and are filled with soft, fatty substance called
bone marrow. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
Girdles
A bony ring like structure present in our body is called a girdle. There are two types of
girdles present in our body.
FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON
The functions of skeletol system are given below:
1.Support : It provides structural support to the
entire body.
2.Protection :It protects the delicate internal
organs like heart and brain.
3.Movement :It helps in the movement of different parts of our body.
4.Storage :The bones of the skeleton store minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
5.Blood Cell Production :Bone marrow helps in
GIRDLE
Shoulder Girdle
It is made-up of the collar bone and
shoulder blade.
Hip Girdle
It is made-up of three bones fused to
form a single bone.
-
production of red blood cells.
Ever wondered why doctors advise to include calcium in your diet? Our bones are made-up of calcium.So taking calcium rich diet strengthens our bones.
JOINTS
A Joint is a region in the human body where two or more bones meet.Joint allow the
movement of different parts of our body.
Bones are held together at joint with the help of ligaments.
The surface of the bones at the joint have a particular type of connective tissue
called cartilage.
Cartilage protects the bones from the wear and tear and increase the life of
bones.
Types of Joints
There are two types of joints:
MOVABLE JOINTS IMMOVABLE JOINTS
A synovial cavity is present .
A synovial cavity is absent.
Movement can occur in these joints.
No movement can occur in thses joints.
It includes all joints except the bones of skull.
It includes the bones of skull.
TYPES OF MOVABLE JOINTS
There are four main types movable joints.
https://youtu.be/WNBIN3P0VzA
1.Ball and Socket Joint
JOINTS
-
In this type of joint,one bone has ball shaped end and the other has a cup shaped
socket.The ball shaped end of obe bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of other
bone.This joint allows maximum movement in all directions.
Example : Shoulder joint and hip joint.
2.Hinge Joint
Just like the hinge of the door , this joint allows only back and forth movement and no
rotation.
Elbows,Knees and ankles are examples of hinge joint.
3.Pivot Joint
In a pivot joint,the rounded end of a single bone fits into the ring of tendon.Thiw joint
allows sideways movement.This type of joint occurs at the base of the neck between the
first and second vertebrae.
Pivot joint in the base of the neck.
4.Gliding Joint
This joint has bones that glide against each other but cannot move in a circular
direction.This is the least movable joint.
-
This type of joint is found between the bones of the verterbral coloumn.
MUSCLES
Muscle is a soft tissue present in human body.There are over 600 different muscles
present in our body.https://youtu.be/3HEn8OKllfE
Types of Muscles
Based on their functions ,Muscles are two types --- Voluntary and Involuntary muscles.
Involuntary Muscles are further of two types.These includes Smooth muscles and
Cardiac muscles.
(Muscles present in arms,legs,
hands and feet)
(Muscles present in (Muscles presnt in heart)
internal Organs)
(A) VOLUNTARY MUSCLES
Voluntary Muscles are those muscles whose movements can be controlled by us.The
skeletal muscles present in arms,legs,hands and feet are examples voluntary muscles.
(B)INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES
Involuntary muscles are those muscles whose movements cannot be controlled by us
and they work on their own.
These are further of two types.
Muscles
Voluntary Muscle Involuntary Muscle
Smooth Muscles Cardiac Muscles
-
(i) Smooth Muscles: These are involuntary muscles which are found in most of
our internal organs.
Examples are muscles of stomach stomach and intestine.
(ii) Cardiac Muscles:
These are involuntary muscles present inside the walls of heart.These muscles work all
the time,pumping blood to different parts of our body.
CARE OF BONES AND MUSCLE
Skeletal system provides a basic framework to the human body and, therefore, we must
care of our bones.
1. Calcium rich diet like milk, banana should be taken.
2. A regular exercise strengthens the bones and muscles and lubricates the joints.
3. A right posture is essential to keep the body in shape.
Always sit with your back straight.
Do not bend your neck too much while reading.
POSTURE
-
Posture is the position in which we hold our body when we sit, stand or move.
