Document Summary

Module 2: bone (ch 7. 1-7. 2), skeleton (ch 8), joints (ch 9. 1-9. 3) This chapter deals with bone as a tissue and as an organ. Bone tissue is a specialized type of connective tissue that includes calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals in the ground substance resulting in a very hard tissue. Bone is one of many tissues found in the skeletal system. Other tissues found in the skeleton are blood, adipose tissue, bone marrow, nervous tissue, cartilage, and fibrous connective tissue. Cartilage is the embryonic forerunner of most bones and covers many joint surfaces, ligaments hold bone to bone at joints, and tendons are much like ligaments only they attach muscles to bone. The skeletal system obviously has the role of providing support for the rest of the body, but it has many other important functions as well. The addition of the muscular system provides the basis for movement.
