SUPPORT AND

HUMANS AND
ANIMALS

MUSCULOSKELETAL
SKELETAL S Y S T E M
• Multicellular organisms need skeletal system to
provide support because they have soft body
tissues
• There are three types of skeletons:
• Exoskeleton
• Endoskeleton
• Hydrostatic skeleton
EXOSKELETON
• Found on outside of the body

• Usually found in insects and crabs

• Function to support and protect the internal


body organs from damage , and enable
them to move
ENDOSKELETO
N
• Found in all vertebrates

• Made of bones and cartilage

• Function to:
• Maintain body shape
• Support soft body tissues
• Protect internal organs from injury
HYDROSTATIC
SKELETON
• Found in soft-bodied organisms like
earthworm and sea anemones
• Consist of internal body fluids within the
body spaces
• Fluid is held under pressure and surrounded
by muscles ,thus forms a soft-walled structure
• Function to maintain rigid body shape

HUMAN VERTEBRAL COLUMN
• Vertebral column is also known as spine or backbones
• It protects the spinal cord, supports the head and serves
as point of attachment for ribs, pelvic girdle and
muscles
• Has 33 vertebrae:
(a)7 cervical vertebrae
(b)12 thoracic vertebrae
(c)5 lumbar vertebrae
(d)5 sacral vertebrae(sacrum)
(e)4 caudal vertebrae(coccyx)
• Cervical,thoracic and lumbar is movable but sacral and
caudal is not moveable
Cervical Vertebrae
• First 2 cervical vertebrae has slightly difference but others are same

Atlas vertebrae Axial vertebrae Cervical vertebrae


• First cervical vertebrae • Second cervical vertebrae • Have short spinous process
• Has large neural canal, small • Has large spinous process,small • Small centrum
spinous process, transverse process and a pair of • Wide and short transverse process
• a pair of transverse foramina but transverse foramina • A pair of transverse foramina
no centrum • Has an odontoid process that articulates
• Articulates(connects) with facet of atlas vertebra's neural canal
• with skull
Thoracic vertebrae Lumbar
Sacral vertebrae
vertebrae
• Have long spinous process • Largest and strongest vertebrae • Triangular bone formed through fusion of
• Spinous and transverse processes • Have a short spinous process five bones
serve as attachment sites for • Have a large centrum to bear the weight
muscles and ligaments of the lower back of the bodu

Caudal vertebrae
• Triangular bone formed by fusion of four
bones
COMPARISON BETWEEN
VERTEBRAE
Differences:
Types of vertebrae Spinous process Transverse process Size of centrum Transverse foramen

Cervical Short Wide and short Small Yes

Thoracic Long Long Medium No

Lumbar Short Short Large No

Similarity:
All vertebrae have spinous and transverse ,centrum(except atlas vertebra) and neural canal
JOINT
• A joint is a place whre two or more bones meet
FREELY MOVEABLE
• A freely moveableJOINT
joint is also known as synovial joint
• Since bones are too rigid and cannot bend without
injury ,we need joint to enable the bones to move in that has cavity filled with fluid
relation to one another. • It has four main features:
• There are tree types of joint: Capsule: Fibrous tissue that protects
• Immovable joint- Suture at cranium of skull the joint
• Slightly moveable joint- cartilage discs
Cartilage: Acts as cushion to the
between vertebrae and cartilage disc joints,absorb shocks and also reduce
between first rib and sternum friction between bone ends to
• Freely moveable joint- Hinge joint and ball- prevent wearing out
and-socket joint
Synovial membrane: Secretes
synovial fluid into synovial cavity

Synovial fluid:Acts as lubricant to


Cartilage reduce friction between bones
discs
BALL-AND-SOCKET HINGE JOINT
JOINT
• Allows rotational movement of bones in all • Allows movement of bones in one plane
directions • Found in:
• Allows the swinging of arms and legs in • elbows
ciecular motion • phalanges of fingers and toes
• Found at : • knees
• shoulder joint between the humerus and • Allow lower leg to swing back and forth
pectoral girdle
• hip joint between the femur and pelvic girdle
SKELETAL MUSCLE
• Responsible for voluntary body movement
LIGAMENT
• Comprises bundles of muscle fibres with a large supply of nerve and • Connects bone to bone
blood vessels • A tough, elastic and strong connective tissue
• Attached to at least two bones across joints by tendons • Provide support and strength to joints
• Produce movement by exerting pull force but cannot push • Allow bones to be bent at the joints
• So it has to be extended back to its original length by opposing action
of another muscle

TENDON
• As such, muscles must work in pairs and this is called antagonistic
muscles: When one muscle relaxes,the other muscle relaxes
• The muscle that straighten the limb when it contracts is called extensor • Connects bone to muscle
• The muscle that bend the limb when it contracts is called flexor • Tough,strong,flexible and inelastic strands of connective
tissues
