What is the difference between the axial and appendicular skeleton?
McDougall p. B17

Watch the first portion of this video on the
Skeletal System.
As you watch, write down facts about the skeleton. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x154fzt_discovery-theultimate-guide-human-body_shortfilms

We will be studying the human body systems focusing on how their parts (anatomy) function together (physiology) to sustain life (characteristics of life).
Each student will create an anatomy & physiology book ON
PAPER (not on the computer) with sections for each of the major body systems. Individual sections will be minor assessment grades and the whole book will be a major assessment grade and will include information on disorders of each system.
Each body system section with have the following parts:
• Overall Functions
• Parts and their individual functions
• Labeled sketch of the body system
• Citations of your sources

Overall Functions of the Skeletal System
• Supports body and anchors movement of limbs
• Protects vital organs
• Makes red and white blood cells
• Stores calcium
Sketch of the Skeletal System
Function of the Parts of the Skeletal System
Appendicular Skeleton – supports movement
• Humerus: upper arm bones supports arm movement
• Radius
• Ulna
• Femur
• Tibia
• Fibula
• Patella
• Ligaments: connects bone to bone
• Tendons: connect bone to muscle
Axial Skeleton – protects vital organs
• Skull
• Vertebrae
Resources:
McDougall textbook p. B14-17
• Ribs
