Human musculoskeletal structures and functions:
The human musculoskeletal system, often known as the human locomotor system, is a group of organs
that collaborate to allow the human body to move. The collaboration of numerous muscle and skeletal
systems allows for this movement. The musculoskeletal system provides the body with the support and
stability it requires to move. The human body consists of 200 skeleton bones, connective tissues, and
more than 300 skeletal muscles.
The musculoskeletal system is composed of skeleton, muscles, https://www.science.or
cartilage, tendons, joints, ligaments, and other connective or tedious g/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aa
tissues. The function is connective tissue in this system is to bind and t0497 12-11-2021
connect different organs, tissues and even bones together. The main
and major function is this system as mentioned is to provide support
for the body in order to make motions. In addition, this organ system https://qbi.uq.edu.au/br
also protects the organs within the body, preventing them from moving ain/brain-

the body and are attached to the muscles thanks to the connective ments 12-11-2021
tissues in the body. The muscles are vital to keep the organs and the
bones in place and facilitate movement motions. This movement will require different bones to work
together and hence the bones are connected via muscles in joints. The joints also need cartilage as this
will prevent the bones from touching each other directly which would cause bone breakages etc. The
muscles are the main sources of movement thanks to the muscle contraction which I will be going to
explain later. The movement of the muscles and bones are mainly monitored and controlled by the
Central Nervous system when the motor neurons connect the nervous system to the muscles and
transmit impulses containing the information to the muscles around the body hence controlling the
movement of muscles.
There are hundreds of illnesses and ailments that can create problems and malfunctions in this system.
Because the musculoskeletal system is integrated and interconnected to the body's inner organs, these
disorders may impact the whole operation of this system and may be difficult to detect.
SKELETAL: .
The skeletal system in the body has many vital functions in the body. The main function f it is providing
shape, support and protection to the inner body organs whilst allowing the body to make desired
movement. Without the skeletal system in the body, the human body would not be able to make
movements as there will be no structure and support to hold the body straight. The human body
contains a total number of 300 bones although many bones will fuse together after the birth and will
form one bone. This will result in a total number of 206 bones for a mature person. The bones around
our body will vary in length, mass and size and therefore there are five bone classification in total: long
bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones and sesamoid bones. Different bones are combined and
fused thanks to ligaments, muscle tissues, tendons and cartilages. This creates the skeleton structure
which is complex and sophisticated. On the diagram below, different skeletal parts are identified.

skull, vertebral column, rib cage, and hyoid bone. This in ner.com/worksheets/sk

central part of the body. This skeletal system has the 12-11-2021

respective limbs allowing them to move.
Cranial bones: this is the skull bones which consist of a total of eight bones. These are
parietal (2), temporal (2), frontal (1), occipital (1), ethmoid (1) and sphenoid (1).

Facial bones: facial bones are also in the skull and these are located along the face.
There are a total of 14 facial muscles which are maxilla (2), zygomatic (2), mandible (1),
nasal (2), platine (2), inferior nasal concha (2), lacrimal (2), and vomer (1).

Auditory ossicles: These are the bones around the shoulder which consist of a total of 6
bones. These are Malleus (2), incus (2), and stapes (2).
Malleus Incus Stapes
Auditory ossicles are the irregular
bones which are very small and
delicate.
Vertebral column: this is the sets of bones forming the vertebral column alongside the back. The
vertebral column consists of a total of 26 bones. This is cervical vertebrae (7), thoracic vertebrae
(12), lumbar vertebrae (), sacrum (1) and coccyx (1).
