ANATOMY – The Skeletal ANATOMY – The Skeletal SystemSystem
5 Major Functions5 Major Functions
There are five major functions of the skeleton:
Remember : Should Mothers Protect Babies Skins
1. Shape and support
2. Movement
3. Protection
4. Blood Production
5. Storage
• Shape and Support - This is our body's framework. It provides shape for our body, holds our vital organs in place and allows us to have a good posture.
• Movement - Our muscles are attached to our bones in a way which allows movement.
• Protection - Protects our delicate organs e.g.-SKULL protects the BRAIN. RIB CAGE protects the HEART and LUNGS etc.
• Blood Production - Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow found in many bones. RED CELLS carry oxygen to the muscles to enable them to work. They are red in colour because they carry haemoglobin. WHITE CELLS fight infection in the body.
• Storage- minerals like calcium are stored in the bones to add
strength

JointsJoints
Where bones meet they form JOINTS.Where bones meet they form JOINTS.
The movement of the skeleton is helped by The movement of the skeleton is helped by
joints. There are THREE kinds of joints:joints. There are THREE kinds of joints:
• FibrousFibrous (non-moving e.g.- skull) (non-moving e.g.- skull)• CartilagenousCartilagenous (limited movement e.g.- (limited movement e.g.-
vertebrae of spine)vertebrae of spine)• SynovialSynovial (a range of movements are (a range of movements are
available)available)
Synovial JointsSynovial JointsMost moving joints are SYNOVIAL JOINTS. They are very complex structures. The Bones are linked together by ligaments and allow a wide range of movements.
The knee is an example of a synovial joint
Features of a synovial joint include:
Synovial fluidSynovial fluid – Lubricates the joint
Synovial MembraneSynovial Membrane – Seals the joint
Synovial CapsuleSynovial Capsule - Surround the joint to prevent leakage
Connective tissueConnective tissueJoints are moved by muscles and
bones. These are attached by
LIGAMENTS and TENDONS.
LIGAMENTS attach bone
to bone.
TENDONS attach muscle
to bone.
e.g.- The knee joint. Movements other than flexion/extension can cause serious ligament damage in hinge joints like the knee. In contact sports like rugby these ligaments are often strained by forces acting in other directions.
Joints Cont’dJoints Cont’dJoints can be separated into FOUR Joints can be separated into FOUR categories:categories:
Ball and Socket joint
Hinge joint
Gliding joint
Pivot joint
Ball and SocketBall and SocketTwo examples of this joint in the human body are the hip Two examples of this joint in the human body are the hip
and shoulder joints. The rounded head of one bone fits and shoulder joints. The rounded head of one bone fits
into a cup-shaped socket of another. This joint allows the into a cup-shaped socket of another. This joint allows the

Humerus
Radius
Ulna
GlidingGlidingIn this type of joint, two surfaces which are flat rub against each other. These small bones can move over one another to increase flexibility of the hands for example. They are stopped from moving too far by strong ligaments.
Carpals
PivotPivotThis joint is made when one bone twists against another.
These are found in the spine. They also allow the head to
turn, raise and lower.
Types of MovementTypes of Movement
There are many types of movement that the There are many types of movement that the skeleton and muscles can produce. The following skeleton and muscles can produce. The following are the most common:are the most common:• FlexionFlexion• ExtensionExtension• RotationRotation• AbductionAbduction• AdductionAdduction• DorsiflexionDorsiflexion• PlantarflexionPlantarflexion
Types of Movement cont’dTypes of Movement cont’d
FLEXION – Bending the joint. E.g. Bending the knee or elbow. BALL and SOCKET and HINGE are the main joint types that can produce this movement.
Types of Movement cont’dTypes of Movement cont’d
EXTENSION of a joint is where the joint is straightened.
BALL and SOCKET and HINGE joints are common
examples of joints that can produce this movement.
Straightening the leg when striking a ball is an example of EXTENSION at the knee (HINGE JOINT)
Types of Movement cont’dTypes of Movement cont’dThe ROTATION movement can occur at a BALL and SOCKET and a PIVOT joint. e.g. turning the head or the movement at the shoulder when swimming backstroke.
Types of Movement cont’dTypes of Movement cont’dABDUCTION and ADDUCTION movements can be produced by BALL and SOCKET joints. ABDUCTION is where a limb moves away from the centre of the body.
ADDUCTION is where the limb is moved TOWARDS the centre of the body.
Joints and PerformanceJoints and PerformanceInjuries to joints can occur from:• Over use (Too much training)• Incorrect movement injuries (e.g.-wrong techniques)• Impact or twisting (e.g.-twist of knee or elbow from a
tackle or collision)
Such injuries should be iced immediately, given plenty rest, elevated and compressed to aid recovery and avoid permanent damage.
