2 Movement
Essential idea: The roles of
the musculoskeletal system are
movement, support and
protection.
Endoskeleton v/s Exoskeleton
Endoskeleton Exoskeleton
Protects and supports an
Provides support to the
animal’s body
internal structure of an animal
Developmental stage is
Derived from mesodermal
outside the body, materials
tissue and formed by
deposit to form exoskeleton
notochord and cartilage
Functions of
endoskeleton Serves as support and
Movement of the body requires muscles
to work in antagonistic pairs.

1.List 2 functions of the skeleton
2. Give an example of an organism having an exoskeleton
3. Name 2 organisms that have exoskeletons made of chitin
4. The middle leg of an insect is the longest. True/ False
5. The tibia is the part of the insect leg that have massive
muscles. True/False
6. The extensor muscle in the insect leg relax to produce a
propelling movement. Tue/False
Types of joints
Region where a
bone meets
another to allow
movement
Types of joints in
mammalian skeleton
Freely movable/
synovial
Immovable/suture
e.g. Bones of skull
• Living tissue
• No blood
vessels
• Reduce friction
• Shock absorber
Elbow joint
