Skeletal System
Learning Competency: Explain how the organs of each organ system work together; (S6LT-
IIa-b-1)
I. Objectives:
Identify the major parts of the skeletal system and its
important functions
Point out the location of every part of the skeleton and
explain its functions
Give importance of one’s body
Picture Analysis:
1. What is the girl doing? What part of the body was
being used in throwing the garbage?
Preliminary Activity
Groupings
Setting of standards/rules
Introduce the activities; Arrange Me, What am I?
Activity Proper
Organize four (4) groups.
Provide the groups with materials and activity sheet.
Follow the instructions of the teacher.
Be mindful to the given time.
1. KSULL 6. TARSLA
2. SPIEN 7. CARPLA
3. BIR 8. PHALANEG
4. PATELAL 9. PELVCI GIRDEL
5. SCAPUAL 10. CLAVICEL
D. Explain (Post-activity)
How did you find your activity?
Did you learn something from the activity?
Based on the result of the activity, did you already know the parts of
the skeletal system?
Can you identify now the parts or the name of every part of your
skeleton?
E. ELABORATE
The human body is made up of different kinds of bones. These bones are
called skeleton. The human skeleton is the internal framework of the
body. The adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones that are connected
to one another by ligaments. At birth, infants have around 300 bones
fused together when they become adults. These bones work together as a
system called a skeletal system.
The skeletal system serves as the framework of the body. Its major
functions are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal
organs, storage of minerals and fats, and blood cell formation.
The skeletal system is mainly composed of bones which are classified into
two divisions, the axial and the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
These bones form the axes or framework of the trunk and head. The
appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the shoulder, arms, hands,
hips, legs, and feet.
One of the axial skeletons is the skull which consists of cranium and
facial bones. The cranium is made up of eight bones joined together to
form a rigid case that protects the brain. The face is made up of 14
facial bones. The eye socket protects the eyeball while mandible or
jawbone is movable bone that holds the teeth.
The spinal column or vertebrae (neck and backbone) are irregular bones
that protect the spinal cord while the ribcage protects the lungs and the
heart. Vertebrae are arranged on top of the other and move over each
other slightly.
The upper 7 pairs are the true ribs because they are connected to the
breastbone and the last two pairs are not connected. These ribs are
called floating ribs. The shoulder has the collarbone found in front of it.
Scapula is the shoulder bone found at the back of your shoulder.
The wrist connects the hand to the forearm. Each wrist or carpal
consists of 8 bones. The palm or metacarpal has 5 bones.
Inside the bones are bone marrows that are very important for the body
to manufacture blood cells. Bone marrows are of two types, the red
bone marrow and the yellow bone marrow. The red bone marrow is
found in the humerus, femur, pelvis and vertebrae while the yellow
bone marrow is found in many other bones.
Answer the following questions below:
1. How many bones does the infant have? How about the adult?
2. The skeletal system is composed of two divisions, what are those?
3. What part of the skeleton belongs to the axial skeleton? How about to the
appendicular skeleton?
4. How many bones are there in the cranium or skull? How about in the
face/facial bones?
5. What part of the skeleton that protects the heart and lungs?
6. How many vertebrates does the child have? How about in adult?
7. What are the two types of bone marrow?
8. How many pairs of ribs are there?
9. How many pairs of true ribs are there?
10. How many bones are there in metacarpals?
Value Infusion
- Doing exercise or doing household chores to strengthen or build up your
bones.
Directions: Study the name of the bones inside the box. Classify them into Axial
or Appendicular. Write your answer in your Science Journal.
