    • Skeletal system. The skeletal system is composed of bones and cartilages. There are two parts of the skeleton; axial and appendicular. The axial skeleton consists of the bones of the head and trunk.
    • Muscular system. The muscular system consists of all the body muscles. There are three muscle types; smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscles. Smooth muscle is found within walls of blood vessels and hollow organs such as the stomach or intestines.
    • Cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system is comprised of the heart and the circulatory system of blood vessels. The heart is composed of four chambers; two atria and two ventricles.
    • Respiratory system. The respiratory system consists of a series of organs; the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lungs (alveoli).
  2. The skeletal system is made from bones and joints. The femur bone in the thigh is the longest and strongest bone in the body. The smallest bones in the body are called the ossicles in the ear.

  3. bone formation, process by which new bone is produced. Ossification begins about the third month of fetal life in humans and is completed by late adolescence.

  5. Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from hyaline cartilage. All of the bones of the body, except for the flat bones of the skull, mandible, and clavicles, are formed through endochondral ossification. In long bones, chondrocytes form a template of the hyaline cartilage diaphysis.

  6. Oct 24, 2022 · Components of the Skeletal System. In adults, the skeletal system includes 206 bones, many of which are shown in Figure 14.2.2 14.2. 2. Bones are organs made of dense connective tissues, mainly the tough protein collagen. Bones contain blood vessels, nerves, and other tissues.

  7. Oct 30, 2023 · Bone formation in a developing embryo begins in mesenchyme and occurs through one of two processes: either endochondral or intramembranous osteogenesis (ossification). Intramembranous ossification is characterized by the formation of bone tissue directly from mesenchyme.
