    What are the kinds of muscles?
    Key Terms
    Striated muscle: muscle tissue with stripes, or dark bands
    Skeletal muscle: muscle attached to the skeleton that makes movement possible
    Smooth muscle: muscle that cause movements which you cannot control
    Cardiac muscle: type of muscle found only in the heart and major blood vessels
    Objectives
    Name three kinds of muscle and identify where they are located in the body
    Summary
    There are 3 different kinds of muscles in the body. They are called Straited muscles, Skeletal muscle, Smooth muscle, and Cardiac muscle. Each kind of muscle tissue has a different job. For example the smooth muscle has movement you can't control. For this reason smooth muscle is sometimes called involuntary muscle for example after you eat you cannot stop the muscles lining your stomach from moving to help digest the food. The cardiac muscle is found only in the heart and major blood vessels.

    Muscles only move bones when the muscle contracts. They don't push bones.

    Most muscles work in teams of two.

    How Do Joints Work?

    Key terms: Joint: place where two or more bones meet.
    Summary: The place where two bones or more meet is called a joint. Some bones are connected directly to other bones at the joint. However, most bones are held together by ligaments.

    How do joints work?
    Lesson 13-4
    Key terms: Joint: place where two or more bones meet.
    Summary: The place where two bones or more meet is called a joint. Some bones are connected directly to other bones at the joint. However, most bones are held together by ligaments.
    There are four main kinds of joints in the body. Joints can move in any direction.
    The four major joints are… Ball and socket joints, gliding joints, hinge joints, and the pivotal joints.
    Cartilage is found in the joints of many bones.
    Movable joints such as knee, shoulder, and hip all have cartilage between the bones. This layer of cartilage cushions the bones and prevents it from rubbing against another bone. Cartilage is smoother than bone so it causes less friction when rubbed together. This allows for easier movement of the bones. Cartilage is also found between the bones of the spinal column. The cartilage there acts as shock-absorbing padding for the vertebrae.

    Last but not least there is bone formation. Cartilage is replaced by living bone tissue. There are a couple of cells that help in this process. One makes up most of the bone. Another breaks down the bone during the remodeling and growth of the bones. It does seem a little weird but it makes sense because the shape and size of bones change over time.

    Lesson 13-4 What are bones?
    OBJECTIVE: Describe the parts of a bone.
    Periosteum: thin membrane that covers a bone
    Compact bone: mostly solid, dense part of a bone
    spongy bone: part of a bone with many small pores or spaces
    marrow: soft tissue inside bones that produces blood cells
    fracture: crack or break in a bone

    Vertebra (Vertebrae): bone that makes up the backbone
    Cartilage: tough, flexible, connective tissue
    Main Ideas ~
    Our skeletal system is like the framework of a house. It supports and protects our body.It is made out of cartilage and bone.
    Bone is hard tissue. Cartilage is tough but flexible connective tissue.
    There are a couple different kinds of skeletons. There are exoskeletons and endoskeletons. Exoskeletons are like skeletons outside of your bodies. Endoskeletons are skeletons inside of your bodies. Humans have endoskeletons.
    The main job of the skeletal system is to support the body. It also protects and gives the body shape. Besides that it has other jobs. It works together with muscles to move the body. It also stores minerals. Blood is even made in some bones!
