Skeletal and Muscular Systems

What is the function of the skeletal system?

• To produce new blood cells

• To connect muscles to bones

• To provide support, protection, and movement

• To reduce friction between bones

What is the purpose of joints in the skeletal system?

• To connect bones in joints

• To produce new blood cells

• To connect muscles to bones

• To reduce friction between bones

Where is bone marrow found?

• Inside some bones where new blood cells are made

• At the end of bones, reducing friction between them

• Connecting bones in joints

• Connecting muscles to bones

What is the purpose of ligaments?

• To connect bones in joints

• To produce new blood cells

• To connect muscles to bones

• To reduce friction between bones

What is the purpose of tendons?

• To connect bones in joints

• To produce new blood cells

• To connect muscles to bones

• To reduce friction between bones

What is cartilage?

• Tissue found inside some bones where new blood cells are made

• Smooth tissue found at the end of bones, reducing friction between them

• Connecting bones in joints

• Connecting muscles to bones

How do antagonistic muscle pairs produce movement around a joint?

• By contracting and relaxing together

• By producing new blood cells

• By connecting muscles to bones

• By reducing friction between bones

What is the consequence of damage to a joint?

• Increased production of new blood cells

• Reduced support and movement

• Increased friction between bones

• Increased muscle strength

What is the consequence of damage to a bone?

• Increased production of new blood cells

• Reduced support and movement

• Increased friction between bones

• Increased muscle strength

What is the consequence of damage to a muscle?
