feed the boned. .
2. Spongy bone tissuea. Lacy open spacesb. Provides strength and supportc. Found in long bones (arms and
legs)d. Sometimes contains red marrow
![Page 7: A. Skeleton Functions 1. Provides support and shape a. Internal framework b. determines body’s shape c.. 2. Protects your organs (Axial Skeleton) a. Skull](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103021/56649c7e5503460f949341d4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3. Mineral cycle – Growth and repaira. Osteoblasts (bone cells) build calcium and other
minerals into a matrix of bone1) process is called ossification
b. Osteoclasts (bone cells) break down bone and deposit the calcium back into the blood (to build new bone)
4. Connective tissuea. Collagen (a protein) makes bones flexible and
durable b. is woven into the matrix with the minerals
5. Marrowa. Soft tissue inside of bones
1) Red Marrowa) Produce red and white blood cells
2) Yellow Marrowa) Stores fat

D. Bone Growth
1. Fetus – most bones start as cartilage2. Cartilage replaced by bone as baby
grows3. Osteocytes (bone cells) move into
cartilage and change it into bone4. Cartilage in growth plates continues to
produce bone as child grows1. Directed by hormones
5. Growth finished at age 25-30 1. Hardens completely2. Can repair self if broken

a. Voluntary – able to control movementsb. Contractions pull bones togetherc. Most work in pairs around a joint - one
contracts, the other relaxes1) Flexor bends a joint2) Extender straightens a joint3) Example: bicep (flexor) and tricep
(extender)

2. Cardiac Musclea. Tissue that makes up the heartb. Never gets tired – contains lots of
mitochondriac. Contractions push blood out of the heart

stretched properly1) Muscle tissue swells and is painful2) Needs rest to heal
2. Muscular dystrophy1. Hereditary disease that causes skeletal
