Skeletal System

The integumentary system and the skeletal system are physiologically related by the protection of the framework of the body. The integumentary system protects all the organs of the body and makes sure they are not opened to the outside and the skeletal system keeps hold of the organs in their place and what makes up the structure of the body. The integumentary system is a physical, chemical/biological, and water barrier. For physical barrier it has cells that contain keratin and are attached to each other by desmosomes. Chemical/Biological barrier are acid secretions from glands that retard growth of fungi, microbes, and viruses, which flushes the microbes surface, the melanin stops UV from penetrating to deeper tissues. The water barrier contains carotene and it's an impacting loss and gain. For the skeletal system there are bones that are constantly being renewed to keep hold of the body. Also, in the skeletal system, the way it is made, each organ should have its own space and do the functions that it should. The bones are responsible for growth and repair, and they differ by regions of a bone and of the person. Since the bone is always being restored, it can replace the matrix, leaving the shape of the bone unchanged; it's responsible for changing the shape of the bone; it can change the internal architecture of a bone; and it can change the mineral composition of the bone. Lastly, hematopoiesis is an important part, it is the blood cell formation in red marrow. In adults the red marrow is found in bones of axial skeleton and girdles, proximal epiphyses of humerus and femur. In children the red marrow is in all bones.

Weekly Three Questions

1. What tasks have you completed recently?
A: I've recently completed case studies about certain areas of bones and their location.
2. What have you learned recently?
A: I recently learned about the details of each bone and how they play a part in our body.
3. What are you planning on doing next?
A:  I hope to learn more about the  mutations of the bones; for example, a second thumb on your hand.
