Task
•
•
•
To create a poster of the skeletal and muscular system.
Do this by downloading pictures of skeletal and muscular systems
and labelling them in your handwriting with correct spellings.
Use either A3 paper or sugar paper. You can use as many pieces of
paper as you like.
•
•
Label the joints and locate them on the picture of the skeleton
Explain the different movements of the body with a range of
sporting examples
•
Please look through PowerPoint and use the information and your
own research to create your posters. Be creative and imaginative
and look forward to seeing them.

Sporting movements
• Look at these movements and add in your own examples
Flexion
• Bending the joint; decreasing the angle at a
joint.
• For example, when a Football player is
preparing to kick a ball.
Extension
• Straightening the joint; increasing the angle
at a joint.
• For example a basketball player
straightening their arm in order to block a
shot.
Adduction
• Movement towards the body; bringing a
limb towards the trunk.
• For example, arms pulled back together
during breaststroke-adduction at shoulder
joint.
Abduction
• Movement away from the body; bring a
limb towards the trunk.
• For example, when a gymnast pushes out
their legs to do a star jump, abduction
occurs at hip joint.
Rotation
• Movement which moves a limb towards the
body, turning or twisting.
• For example when a golf player performs a
drive shot, the hip moves towards the body.
Main joints in the human body
• Identify and describe each of the these joints and locate
where you would find them in the body and show this on your
diagram of the bones.
