Learning Goal
SC8.3.1.d Students can identify the structure and functions of the skeletal system of the human body and describe ways that this system interacts with other systems.
Learning Targets
6-1 Describe the primary functions of the skeletal system.
6-2 Classify bones according to shape and internal organization, giving examples of each type, and explain the functional significance of each of the major types of bone markings.
6-3 Identify the cell types in bone, and list their major functions.
6-4 Compare the structures and functions of compact bone and spongy bone.
6-5 Compare the mechanisms of endochondral ossification and intramembranous ossification.
6-6 Describe the remodeling and homeostatic mechanisms of the skeletal system.
6-7 Discuss the effects of exercise, hormones, and nutrition on bone development and on the skeletal system.
6-8 Explain the role of calcium as it relates to the skeletal system.
6-9 Describe the types of fractures, and explain how fractures heal.
6-10 Summarize the effects of the aging process on the skeletal system.
