Skeletal system GapFill

The skeletal system provides a framework for movement, by working with the  fitnesscardiovasculargasmuscular system. The bones act as levers and provide points for  bonesmusclesblood cellsbursae to attach to via tendons, causing movement at a  synovial jointlong bonejoint capsulecartilage when the muscles contract.

The shape and type of bones can lead to different amounts of movements.  ThickLongFlatShort bones allow for fine movements, while  shortlongthickflat bones enable gross movements.  WhiteThickFlatLong bones provide protection to the vital organs, such as the cranium protecting the brain and the  talushumerusulnaribs protecting the heart and lungs. Different joint types also allow for different types of movement, with  tableaerobicball and sockethinge joints allowing the greatest range of movement.
