Study Notes

Introduction to the Skeletal System

  1. Your brain sends a signal to your bicep muscle.
  2. The bicep muscle contracts, pulling on its tendon which is attached to a bone in your forearm (the radius).
  3. This pull causes your forearm bones (radius and ulna) to pivot at your elbow joint.
  4. The cartilage in your elbow joint reduces friction, allowing smooth movement.
  5. Ligaments around your elbow joint keep the bones aligned and stable during the action.
  6. All these bones are part of your appendicular skeleton, allowing you to reach and manipulate objects, supported by your axial skeleton (spine) holding your upper body steady.
