Bones is a living tissue that contain a blood vessel and nerves. It capable of moulding itself when it damaged.
The bone is hard, made up of collagen together with inorganic substances like calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.
There is a soft cushioning substance served as shock absorber in between bones know cartilage, it prevents damage to the surface of the bones as result of friction.
Synovial fluid is lubricant fluid that provide nutrient for the cartilage at the end of the bone while the joint is surrounded by a fibrous cover it known as synovial capsules.
The synovial membrane is inner lining of the capsules; the bone of a joint is held together by strong bonds called ligaments which is like elastic but it capable of controlling the movement of the joint.

Criteria 1.2 Explain the relationship between the structure and function of the human skeleton.
ANSWER:
The skeleton is the framework of bones, it structures the body, support to the body and protects the internal organs of the body. It also allows the muscles to move freely during the mechanism of locomotion. The human skeleton also performs other functions such as support, movement,

To make a movement, the brain will send a message to the nerves to tell the muscles to contract. Muscles are made of fibres and cells, are attached to tendons, touch and very strong tissues are connecting the muscles to the bones. Every tendon is covering by a synovial sheath; also known as a tendon sheath, “a double-walled tube with a thin film of synovial fluid that acts as a lubricant to allow the tendon to glide along smoothly”. For us to make a movement, muscles will contract and the tendons will pull the bones along.
Our bone tissues are made of a much harder substance than the cartilage, but they can be worn away by friction. They are tough on the outside, but on the inside they have a sponge-like design that helps to reduce the weight while retaining strength. They are designed to maintain the body’s structure and support the body’s movement and are used to protect weaker tissues, such as the brain, lungs and heart.
The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues, that is, they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells, the gelatin the support material for matrix, and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances, we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight or softer like cartilage which can be used as a cushioning material.

In this exercise, we will examine a fresh raw chicken bone to study bone
It also protect soft internal organs for an example brain and heart from injury. Skeleton with muscle is strong bones that can enable the body to move freely. Individuals who is at increase risk for fractures may be difficult to heal because of the weakened bones. This can lead to loss of mobility, the inability to retain independent living and even death. Osteoporosis can gives a huge effect to human skeletal due to decreased mineralization of the bone. Human skeletal consist of two types of bones which is compact bones and spongy bones. Compact bones is a bone that has a solid outer surface while spongy bone is inner bone that less dense than compact bone which has many holes like sponge. A spongy bone does not have osteon.The matrix forms an open network of trabeculae. Healthy bone is dense enough to support and protect body and to handle stresses of movement and minor injuries while osteoporosis has abnormally thin bones with larger holes on spongy
From the days of Still we are reminded that structure and function are a primary focus reciprocally interrelated-so much so that the basic structure of the skeleton and the parts that make it up are designed to operate a certain mechanical way. The physiological and deeper functional
In this content am going to be talking and explaining the structure and function of the skeletal system. I will be talking about: Axial skeleton, Appendicular. Also highlighting the different types of bone such as long bones, short bones flat bones, irregular bones and sesamoid bones. I am also going to be talking about how your body is
The articular cartilage is a connective tissue that covers the part of the epiphysis where the bone comes together to form a joint, also known as an articulation. Articular cartilage allows bones to glide over each other creating very little friction and also makes it easier for
The outermost layer is a membrane called periosteum, a fibrous connective tissue responsible for protection, connected to fibers called Sharpey’s (perforating) fibers linking to the bone (Marieb, 2012). The external surface at the end of the bone is covered with articular cartilage, reducing joint friction (Marieb, 2012). Within the bone is a thin layer of compact bone called epiphyses, encompassing spongy bone and yellow marrow (Marieb, 2012).
Bones are made up of two layers, the trabecular and cortical layers. The trabecular layer is internal and spongy-like, where the cortical layer is external and more compact. These layers are continuously broken down and reformed by two cells known as
Bones are structured to provide strength, protection, and movement. In addition the structure allows the bones to serve as a reservoir for several minerals including calcium because calcium can quickly move between the bone and the blood.
As matrix becomes hardened with the calcium salts the embryonic skeleton becomes bone. We are able to move because we have joints and our skeleton supports us and protects our organs. The bones within the skeleton are held together by ligaments and are attached to muscles by tendons. Both
Bones are dynamic organs, growing and continually remodeling throughout life. The responsible for the make-up of the skeleton are bone cells which are found within the bone tissue. Each cell type has a unique function and is found in different locations in bones, They are called osteoblast,osteocytes,and osteoclast.
Synovial joints are the most common joints in the skeletal system and are also known as the freely moveable joints. They are not directly connected which is why it allows a great amount of movement. As with most other joints in the body, synovial joints achieve more movements. The synovial joints consist of six different types of joints.
The skeletal system is made up of bones and joints. Bones are a dry dense tissue that is composed of calcium phosphorous and organic matter. The bones are protected and covered by a layer of fibrous connective tissue membrane called the periosteum (Brown, et al., 2015, p. 1547). There are two basic types of bone tissue: Compact Bone and Spongy Bone. Compact bones are dense smooth bones, while Spongy bones are composed of small needle-like pieces of bones and open space. Bones are then categorised according to the shape of the bone into four groups: long, short, flat and irregular. Long bones characteristically are typically longer then they are wide and generally have a shaft with heads at either ends e.g. the humerus. They are mainly compact bones. Short bones
Bone serves the organism at multiple levels: As a system, bones permit the organism to locomote effectively and to maintain posture by bearing loads without deformation, by providing rigid attachment sites for muscles and acting as a system of levers to amplify small movements. As an organ, bones protect the viscera and house the hemopoietic tissue (red marrow). As a tissue, bones serve as a reservoir of readily mobilizable calcium, an
