Skeletal, Muscular, and
Integumentary Systems
Ch. 36
Skeletal System
-The skeletal system has 206 living bones in the average
human body.
Function:
-supports the body
-protects internal organs
-provides for movement
-stores mineral reserves
-blood cell production
-Bones are made up of the elements
phosphorus and calcium.
Two Divisions of the Skeletal System:
1. Axial- skull, vertebral column, and rib cage
2. Appendicular- bones of the arms, legs, pelvis,
and shoulder
Bone Structure
Periosteum- outer layer
Compact Bone- thick solid layer
Haversian Canals- tubes that contain
blood vessels and nerves.
Spongy Bone- found at the tips of long
bones; porous; contains red bone
marrow.
Bone Marrow- center core of bones;
contains yellow bone marrow.
Growth Plate- area of dividing bone cells
in kids and young adults.
Cartilage- connective tissue found at the
tips of bones; layer of protection.
Bone Development
-Human embryos are made of cartilage.
-Cartilage hardens to bone as the ‘birth’ date
gets closer. Process is ossification.
-Some areas of cartilage stay intact throughout
the life of a human.
Types of Bone Cells:
Osteocytes- mature bone cells.
Osteoclasts- break down old bone cells.
Osteoblasts- produce new bone cells.
*Your body continually breaks down old bone
cells and replaces them with new bone cells.
Types of Joints:
Joint- a place where one bone attaches to another
bone.
Types:
1. Immovable (suture, bones in the skull)
2. Slightly Movable (symphysis, bones of
the vertebrae)
3. Freely Movable (ball-and-socket, hinge,
pivot, saddle)
Joints are held together by ligaments.
Skeletal System Disorders:
Inflammation of a Joint
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Ch. 36.2 Muscular System
Function: movement throughout the body.
Types:
1. Skeletal- moves the bones; voluntary.
2. Smooth- lines internal organs structures in the body;
involuntary.
Examples: lining of the stomach
3. Cardiac- found in the heart; involuntary. Allows for
contraction of the heart.
Muscle Contraction
Muscle Fibers (cells)
Myofibrils
Filaments
Actin & Myosin
Actin and Myosin are proteins that are the basis for all
muscle contraction.
Muscle contraction occurs when ATP (energy) causes the
actin to slide over the myosin.

Neuromuscular Junction
-Point where neurons
make contact with a
muscle cell.
-Neurons release the
neurotransmitter
acetylcholine which
stimulates the release
of Ca2+ within the muscle
fiber.
The Muscle Bone Connection
Skeletal Muscles are connected to bones by
tendons.
Ch. 36.3 The Integumentary System
Functions:
1. barrier for protection against infection and injury.
2. regulate body temperature
3. remove waste products
4. provide protection against UV light (sun)
Layers:
1. Epidermis
2. Dermis
3. Hypodermis
Epidermis
-outer most layer of the epidermis is made up of
dead skin cells.
-inner layer of the epidermis is made up of living
cells.
-contains the protein, keratin. Gives skin its
waterproof ability.
-contains the protein, melanin. Gives skin its
color and protects from UV light.
Dermis
-inner (middle) layer of the skin.
-contains collagen, blood vessels, nerves, glands,
muscles, and hair follicles.
-Two major glands:
1. sweat- helps cool the body
2. sebaceous (oil)- secrete sebum
Hypodermis
-contains adipose (fat)
-functions to insulate and store nutrients
Hair
-made up of keratin
-protects the body and internal structures
-made in hair follicles
-oil glands secrete oil to protect the hair
Nails
-made up of keratin
-nails grow from the nail root
-protects the tips of fingers and toes
