STRUCTURE OF THE SKELETON  
Cranium- This is the highest bone of the skeleton and is made up of 8 bones fused together to protect the brain.

Scapula- This bone is also named as the shoulder blade that connects the clavicle to the humerus. It forms the posterior of the shoulder girdle.
RIbs- Adults have 12 pairs of these flat bones which attach at the spine and the sternum to form a cage around heart and lungs to protect them.
Radius- This bone also forms part of the lower arm as it is positioned next to the Ulna and runs in line with the thumb side of the hand.
Clavicle- This bone forms part of the shoulder and attaches the upper arm to the body. It is sometimes called your collar bone.
Mandible- the lower jaw or jawbone is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human facial skeleton.
Femur- This is the longest bone in the body and attaches to the pelvis at the top and the knee at the bottom. It is commonly known as the thigh bone.
Fibula- This is the smaller bone of the lower leg, positioned behind the Tibia, it is mainly used for muscles of the lower leg to attach to
Tibia- This is the biggest bone in the lower leg, which joins with the Femur and Patella to form the knee joint, positioned at the front of the Fibula.
Pubis - This bone is one of three bones that fuse to form the hip bone. Together with the ilium and ischium.
Carpals- These bones are bones of the wrist that connect the end of the radius and ulnar bones of the forearm to the bases of the metacarpal bones of the hand.
Metacarpals- These bones are located in the wrist between the carpals and phalanges. 
Phalanges- These bones are found in both the hands and feet and form the bony core of the digits
Sternum- This is a flat bone in the middle of the chest that is shaped like a dagger. It is attached to the clavicle and protects the heart and joins the ribs together.
Patella- This is a small square bone that sits on top of the femur and the Tibia to form the knee joint.
Tarsals- These bones are situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsals. 
Metatarsals- These bones are located in the foot between the tarsals and phalanges.  
Phalanges - These bones are found in both the hands and feet and form the bony core of the digits.
Humerus- This is sometimes called your funny bone and it forms the upper arm connecting the shoulder at the top and the forearm at the bottom.
Ulna- This bone forms part of the lower arm and joins the Humerus with the elbow joint and runs in line with the little finger.
Illium- This bone is the uppermost and largest part of the hip bone.
Ishium- This bone is a paired bone of the pelvis that forms the lower and back part of the hip bone. 
Vertebral Coloumn- This is 33 separate bones all joined together and join your cranium to your hips. These bones also allow your to perform movements like bending and nodding.

BONES OF THE CRANIUM 
The  cranium (skull) is composed of 22 bones and protects the brain.  

Eight bones make up the cranium and 14 bones form the bones of the facial skeleton. 

Slide 7 - Diapositive

EIGHT BONES OF THE CRANIUM 
Frontal x 1
Forms the front of the skull and forehead and the eye sockets.
Parietal x 2
Form the upper sides of the skull and the back of the roof of the skull.
Temporal x 2
Form the sides of the skull below the parietal bones and around the ears. 
Sphenoid x 1
In front of the temporal bone.  Serves as a bridge between the cranium and the facial bones.
Ethmoid x 1
Forms part of the orbit, nasal cavity and nasal septum.
Occipital x 1
Forms the back of the cranium.

Slide 8 - Diapositive

FOURTEEN BONES OF THE CRANIUM 
Maxilla x 2

CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPES OF MUSCLE TISSUE  
In the muscular system, muscle tissue is categorised into three distinct types: 

1) Skeletal 2) Cardiac 3) Smooth. 
Each type of muscle tissue in the human body has a unique structure and a specific role. Skeletal muscle moves bones and other structures. Cardiac muscle contracts the heart to pump blood. The smooth muscle tissue that forms organs like the stomach and bladder changes shape to facilitate bodily functions. 

Slide 15 - Diapositive

CHARACTERISTICS OF TYPES OF MUSCLE TISSUE  
Skeletal muscles attach to and move bones by contracting and relaxing in response to voluntary messages from the nervous system. Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of long cells called muscle fibers that have a striated appearance. 
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs throughout the body. Smooth muscle contractions are involuntary movements triggered by impulses that travel through the autonomic nervous system. 
Cardiac muscle is found only in the myocardium of the heart, it contracts in response to signals from the cardiac conduction system to make the heart beat. 
Muscle fibers are organized into bundles supplied by blood vessels and innervated by motor neurons.
Smooth muscle tissue allows for contraction and relaxation with great elasticity. In the urinary bladder they allow those organs to expand and relax. In the digestive tract they facilitate swallowed food and nutrients. In artery walls they relax and contract to move blood through the body.
Cardiac muscle is made from cells called cardiocytes. Like skeletal muscle cells cardiocytes have a striated appearance, but their overall structure is shorter and thicker. 

Slide 16 - Diapositive

MUSCLE ATTACHMENTS 
Learning the muscular system often involves memorising details about each muscle, like where a muscle attaches to bones and how a muscle helps move a joint. 

A skeletal muscle attaches to bone (or sometimes other muscles or tissues) at two or more places. 

Origin
If the place is a bone that remains immobile for an action, the attachment is called an origin. 

Insertion
If the place is on the bone that moves during the action, the attachment is called an insertion.
