They provide the best protection because of their large surface area. - This is useful in contact sports, such as football and rugby, because they can prevent injuries to the brain and the heart. ### Movement ![Movement](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/21ed3682-5baf-4014-ae15-a13697765489/shutterstock_674508118.jpg) - The skeleton’s joints allow the body to move. - Muscles attach to the bones at places where they can pull a bone in a given direction. - This is useful in all sporting actions. - E.g. when a boxer jabs (punches) someone, the triceps (muscle at the back of the upper arm) contracts to pull the radius and ulna (bones in the forearm) away from the humerus (bone in the upper arm). ### Mineral storage ![Mineral storage](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/daf2909d-49b8-4969-9d65-ed4ea45837b1/shutterstock_563022832.jpg) - The bones can store minerals such as calcium. - Calcium can then be released into the blood when needed. ### Production of blood cells ![Production of blood cells](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/016b5267-4db3-4a73-96f5-df8de70cee7c/shutterstock_516112096.jpg) - Bone marrow (a fatty substance) that is found in the long bones (e.g. femur) produces red and white blood cells. - Red blood cells carry oxygen and white blood cells fight against infection. - Anyone doing any aerobic event will need red blood cells to transport oxygen to the working muscles. If a runner fell over and cut their leg, the white blood cells would fight any invading bacteria to help the athlete stay healthy (free from infection). ## Muscles of the Body Because muscles can only pull, they need to be arranged in pairs to function. ### Upper body muscle pairs - examples ![Upper body muscle pairs - examples](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/4e2fc20e-271d-4189-a326-027a776aa6d2/shutterstock_201383798.jpg) - Biceps (front) + triceps (back)- located on either side of the Humerus (bone in the upper arm). - Abdominals (front) + latissimus dorsi (back) - located on either side of the body. - Pectorals (front) + latissimus dorsi and trapezius (back) - located on either side of the rib cage. - Deltoid (front/top) + latissimus dorsi (back/underneath) - located on either side of the ball and socket joint in the shoulder. ### Lower body muscle pairs - examples ![Lower body muscle pairs - examples](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/e6ed4294-9749-4c52-8e56-9ea28611de03/shutterstock_473836951.jpg) - Quadriceps (front) + hamstrings (back) - located either side of the femur (thigh bone). - Hip flexors (front) + gluteals (back) - muscles that are located on either side of the pelvis. - Tibialis anterior (front) + gastrocnemius (back) - located on either side of the tibia (shin bone). ## Test yourself on Functions of the Skeleton - Can you think of a useful mnemonic for remembering the functions of the skeletal system? Click to discover 1 that we like! - The hip flexors and gluteals are located on either side of which bone? - Which muscles are located on the front of the body? - Which muscle is found in the upper body? - Select the correct name for a muscle found in the calf.
