Essential Questions(s):

What is the structure and function of bone tissue and how do the bones, joints, and ligaments function to permit movement
and mobility in the skeleton?
 How does bone formation contribute to structural support and protection?
 What are the features of skeletal bone that contribute to body function?
Learning Outcomes/Study Topics:







Identify the functions of the skeletal system and bones.
Classify bones according to their shapes and give examples from each group.
Identify the macroscopic and microscopic structure of a bone and list the functions of these parts.
Distinguish between intramembranous and endochondral bones and explain how such bones develop and grow.
Identify factors that affect bone development, growth and repair.
Distinguish between the axial and appendicular skeletons and name the major parts of each.
Locate and identify the bones and the major features of the bones that comprise the skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage,
pectoral girdle, upper limb, pelvic girdle, and lower limb.
 Explain the difference between male and female skeletons.
 Classify joints according to the type of tissue binding the bones together and name an example of each (including all six types of
synovial joints).
 Identify types of fractures and discuss fracture repair.
 Discuss diseases and anomalies associated with the skeleton and joints.
