The Skeletal and Muscular

Systems
By Mrs. Hyde’s Class
 The Skeleton System
Bones protect our vital
organs.
Inside the bone is jelly-
like bone marrow.
As you grow older some
of your bones grow
together.
The Muscular System
There 630 active muscles
in your body.
Muscles are bundles of
cells and fibers.
Muscles tighten up, and
then they relax.
.
 Muscles

• About 630 muscles

• Relax and contract to
move bones
• Your muscles are over
your body
• You have three
different bones in your
body
 Skeletal System
• 360 bones in body
when born
• 206 bones in body
when you are about 10
or 20
• It gives us shape
• Protects our organs
such as brain, heart,
and lungs
 Muscular System
• There are 630 muscles
in the human body.
• There are involuntary
muscles like the heart
and the intestines.
• There are also
voluntary muscles like
your wrists, and your
legs.

 Skeletal System
• There are thin films of
slippery fluid which is
cartilage.
• There are three main
jobs of the skeletal
system. The jobs are
protecting the organs,
it gives us our shape,
and it allows us to
move.

Skeletal System
• It protects our vital
organs.
• Gives us the shape of
our body.
• When you’re a baby
your skeleton had
around 350 bones.
 Muscular System
• Our heart beats
between 60 to 80 beats
every minute, without
having a break.
• Muscles can get
shorter and pull, but
can’t push.
 MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• Half our weight is
mostly muscles
• Muscles work in a
very simple way. All
they do is tighten up
• There are 630 active
muscles in the body
Skeletal System
• Your skull protects
your brain
• If you didn’t have any
bones you’d be a big
blob
• Your backbone helps
you stand up straight
 Muscular system
• Muscles are bundles
of cells and fibers.
• We have 600 major
muscles.
• We have 240
muscles that have
specific jobs
Skeletal system
• Your bones
manufacture blood
cells.
• Our bones are held
by our muscles
• The smallest bones
are in our ears
 MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• You have more than
630 active muscles in
your body.
• You also have 3 dozen
in your jaw.
• You have 3 kinds of
muscles in your body.
[smooth, skeletal, and
heart.]
SKELETAL SYSTEM
• When you look at
your skull with the
Lateral View you can
divide your skull into
25 parts.
• But when you look at
your skull with the
Interior View you can
only divide it 17 parts.
 Muscular System
• Muscles are bundles of
cells and fibers.
• There are 630 active
muscles.
• Muscles only pull not
push.
• Cardiac muscles are found
in the heart .
• The muscular system
compares well with a
backhoe
SKELETAL SYSTEM
• You need joints which provide
flexible connections between
the bones

• Bones are made of a mix of

hard stuff that gives them
strength

• Hollowness makes bones

strong and light

• Humans and giraffes have the

same number of bones in their
necks

 Muscular System
• Muscles are found on
the walls of internal
organs.
• Deltoid Muscles are in
both of your
shoulders.
• Muscles come in
different shapes &
sizes.

 Skeletal System
• The skull is fused
bones.
• The shoulder allows
you to move 360
degrees like a shower
head.
• Your blood brings
food to your bones.

 Muscular System
• The human body has
about 640 muscles.
• The children have230
muscles.
 Skeletal System

• It gives you shape.

• There is fluid in your
body
• If you didn’t have any
bones you wouldn’t
have a shape.
 MUSCULAR SYSTEM
MUSCULAR
SYSTEM
• 1. You have about 460
muscles in your body
• 2. Your heart beats
constantly.

SKELETAL SYSTEM
• When you are born
you have around 350
bones in your body .
• When you are an
adult you have
around 206 bones.
 Skeletal System
• Hinge joint of the knee
• Pivot joint of the neck
• Fixed joint of the skull
• Ball-and-socket joint
• You know that parts of
your skeleton can move.
• They can move because of
the way bones are joined
together
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
• There are 630 in the
body.Muscles help your
body work.
• There are three kinds of
muscles the smooth,
heart, and skeletal
Be sure to take great care of your
muscular and skeletal systems!
