Title : Review of Assessment / Musculoskeletal System

Morning section : Musculoskeletal system

In the morning section of today we learnt about the human musculoskeletal system , we spoke about the different types of bones in the human body.

The radius which goes to the thump for movement

Femur which is the thigh bone , Patella which is the knee cap bone , the tibia which is the lower leg big bone ,Cranium which is the shoulder bone , pelvis which is the hip bone , mandible which is the jaw bone .

We learnt about the femur which is the strongest bone in the human body and the ear which has the smallest bone in the human body and they are the only bones that do not remodel after the age of one as change in the shape could affect hearing.

Further more we learnt that the wrist has 18 bones in it.We learnt about the 5 different types of bones , there appearance and their functions in the body. And that the tendon attach the muscles to the bones in the human body.

I learnt that the mature bone cells are known as Osteocytes and that most bones in the human body can be transplant but the disc in the human body cannot be replaced .and that we reach our peak bone mass at the age of  30 years.

further more i learnt that the bone marrow produces red blood cells in the bone  and that bone marrow are red in children and yellow in adults.

Moving forward i have learnt about the human skeletal  system and will be able to identify and say the function of it and the importance of each part in the human body.

In the afternoon section we learnt about referencing our essay as well as what is expected of us to address in the body of the essay.
