Skeletal System

Skeletal System:
Body System Function: The skeleton is a framework of bones that protect your vital organs. The bones are hollow to let us move around easily. Inside the hollow is a liquid called Marrow which is said to produce our bodies blood cells. Bones have 3 role in keeping you healthy and alive they create blood cells,allow you to move, and the protect your vital organs. When You consume calcium your bone get stronger because they are made up of calcium.

Organs: There is a bone called Axial Bones the are meant to keep you up right and standing. Appendicular Bone's let you move freely with ease. Joints are what connect bones your bones together. Ossicles are the smallest bones in your body and there are 3 found inside your ear. Cartilage is a strong tissue that holds your bones together. The Tendons are strong and tough pieces of tissue that attach your bones and hold the together.

Interaction With Other Systems:  The skeletal system teams up with the circulatory system in the process of making blood cells and transporting blood. This is because the insides of the skeleton are hollow so inside the hollow of the bones is a jelly substance called Marrow which is responsible of creating your blood cells.

Analogy Explanation:
This picture of a house is like the skeletal system because if you think hard the framework of the house can be like a skeleton. The walls of the house act as Axial Bones that keep you upright and standing straight without the walls the whole house would be rubble just like we would be without our axial bones. Appendicular Bones would be the door and window hinges which let the door and windows open up just like appendicular bones let us move smoothly. Joints would be the corners of the wall and the roof which connect all the house together just like the joints connect our bones with ball and socket joints.

Structure and Function:
Bones are designed straight to keep us balanced so we don't have wiggly arms or legs. The bones in our skeleton don't fall apart because they are held together by a strong tissue called Ligaments.   The way the bones are designed its meant to keep us standing tall by holding us up with the axial bones. In the mean time the bones are meant to be straight so we can stay straight because if our bones in our arms were able to be wiggly it would be pretty difficult to  move you arms around. The structure of the bones gives us the ability to move and stay upright.
