Classify bones as long, short, flat, or irregular and give an example of each.
Explain how osteoblasts and osteoclasts work against each other to remodel bone.
Describe how muscles and bones work together, including the prime mover and antagonist roles.
What the lesson concludes
Three functions to remember together: movement with muscles, protection from flat bones over organs, and storage of minerals, fat, and blood cell production in marrow.
Long bones make red marrow at the ends and yellow marrow in the shaft.
Osteoblasts build bone and osteoclasts break it down, a pairing the TEAS likes to test directly.
Osteoporosis is osteoclast activity outpacing osteoblast activity, not simply a lack of exercise.
Tendons connect muscle to bone, ligaments connect bone to bone, a distinction worth keeping straight.
