AltA 3.03b Reading check

Last updated 6 months ago
12 questions
In this unit we'll be learning about the Anatomy & Physiology of the Skeletal system.

We'll focus on three learning targets in this assignment:
  1. Describe the structure and function of bones
  2. Identify the different types of bones
  3. Differentiate between the axial and appendicular skeleton
Here is a recording from our class session last school year. Feel free to use the recording to help you as you complete the assignment. I will update with this year's recording link once we go over the assignment in class.

Ossification
the development of bone from the time an individual is born, and it continues throughout their entire life.
3.02 Types of Bones and Bone Tissue
1

Match the descriptions of the two types of bone with their characteristics.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item

Match the five types of bones with their description.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Short bones
Built to withstand a great deal of weight and provide support. Are found in the arms and legs.
Flat bones
Mostly spongy and cube shaped. Allow for movement.
Long bones
Provide protection for soft tissues like the brain and lungs.
