A comprehensive 132-slide PPT presentation (with student notes) that covers all major topics in a high school or AP course of study on the skeletal system. Topics include: functions of the skeletal system, types of bones, anatomy of long bones, bone markings, axial vs. appendicular skeleton, bones of the skeleton (detailed), internal structure of bone tissue, bone cells (osteocytes, osteoclasts, etc.), bone matrix, bone fibers, structure of compact bone & osteons, structure of spongy bone & trabeculae, types of ossification, bone growth, bone remodeling, types of joints, structure of synovial joints, types of synovial joints, movement at joints, bone fracture and repair, as well as diseases and disorders of the skeletal system.

Designed for high school level biology as well as AP anatomy courses. Perfectly suitable for the Science Olympiad anatomy event at the (B) and (C) levels. Simply pick and choose your level of detail and hide the other slides!

PPT Contents:

Part 1: What are Bones?

• Functions of the skeletal system
• Skeletal system tissues (bone, cartilage, ligaments)
• Types of bones (long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid)
• Long bone structure (e.g. periosteum, compact bone, marrow, etc.)
• Bone markings (articulations, processes, openings)

Part 2: Bones of the Skeleton

• Axial vs. appendicular skeleton
• Major bones of the skeleton
• Bones of the: skull, spine, thoracic cage,
• Bones of the: shoulder, arm, hand, pelvis, leg, foot

Part 3: Bone Structure

• 3 parts of bone tissue (cells, extracellular matrix, fibers)
• Types of bone cells (osteocyte, osteoblast, osteoclast, lining cell)
• Extracellular matrix and hydroxyapatite
• Collagen fibers
• Types of cartilage (hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage)
• Ligaments
• Compact bone structure (i.e. osteons or Haversian systems)
• Spongy bone structure (i.e. trabeculae)

Part 4: Bone Development, Growth & Remodeling

• Bone formation (intramembranous, endochondral ossification)
• Growth of long bones and growth cessation
• Growth plate zones (e.g. zone of proliferation, calcification, etc.)
• Bone remodeling

Part 5: Joints

• Types of joints (synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses)
• Structure of synovial joints/diarthroses
• Types of diarthroses (e.g. ball & socket, pivot, hinge, saddle, etc.)
• Movements at joints (e.g. flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, etc.)

Part 6: Bone Fracture and Repair

• Bone fractures and how they occur
• Types of fractures (e.g. normal, transverse, oblique, spiral, etc.)
• Bone fracture repair steps

Part 7: Skeletal System Disorders

• Skeletal disorders (e.g. sprains, dislocations, arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.)
