Tissues And Bones

Support, protection, and structure -makes up body’s framework, cushions joints, anchors muscles

Rigid framework Supports the body Protects internal organs Point of attachment for muscles

Strong sheets/cords which attach muscle to bones Tendon pulls on the bone when a muscle contracts to move the joint

Strong bands that attach bones to bones Elasticated to allow joints to move Strong to stop movement outside of normal range

Soft cushioning substance covering ends of bones Act as shock absorbing Reduces bone rubbing

2 or more bones in contact or articulated with each other

Most common joint with the widest range of motion Contains a capsule with synovial fluid to reduce friction

Bones separated by fibrocartilage disk or thin layer of hyaline cartilage Limited movement (ribs, sternum)

Thin layer of fibrous tissue connected to edges of two bones No movement

Layers of connective tissue that holds muscles together
