A thorough understanding of the bones that make up the skeletal system, the differences between a joint, tendon and a ligament and the effect of physical activity on the human skeleton.

2. 
 The Skeletal System is a rigid framework of bones
that serves many important functions. Bones and
Cartilages, Tendons and Ligaments all make up the
skeletal system.
 The skeletal system comprises of an average 300-350
bones in newborns and 206 precisely in adults.

System

3. 
 A bone is made up of
salts, water, and tissue.
 Inside a bone there is a
jelly substance called
bone marrow.
 Bone marrow produces
blood cells for the body.

5.  Long Bones
Long bones are some of the longest bones in the body
 Short Bones
Short bones are defined as being approximately as wide as they are long
and have a primary function of providing support and stability with little
movement.
 Flat Bones
Flat bones are flat plates of bone with the main function of providing
protection to the bodies vital organs and being a base for muscular
attachment.
 Irregular Bones
These are bones in the body which do not fall into any other category, due
to their non-uniform shape.

7.  What are joints?
A joint is the physical point of connection between two
or more bones.
What are Tendons?
A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous tissue
attaching a muscle to a bone.
What are Ligaments?
A short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue
which connects bones to bones.
