In Skeletal & Muscular Systems, students learn that bones and muscles work together to protect our bodies and enable us to move. Students will come to realize that bones, in addition to providing support for our bodies and protecting vital organs, is where blood is manufactured! Viewers also learn that bones are classified by shape; long, short, flat and irregular; and that there are three types of muscles; skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Colorful graphics and animation illustrate how joints work with the help of connective tissues like cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
