The structure and function of the skeleton

  1. Understand the structure and function of the skeleton.
    1.1 Explain the general function of the skeleton.
    1.2 Describe the organisation of the skeleton and categorise the bones of the Appendicular and Axial skeleton.
  2. Understand the structure and formation of bones and cartilage..
    2.1 Explain the structure and formation of bones and cartilage
    2.2 Categorise the different types of bones (e.g. long, short, flat, sesamoid and irregular).
    2.3 Identify major bones from both drawings and specimens.
  3. Understand the variety of joint types.
    3.1 Categorise different types of joints (e.g. fibrous cartilaginous and synovial; i.e. ball and socket, hinge, condyloid, pivot, gliding and saddle).
    3.2 Identify a range of joints & associated bones from both drawings and specimens.
    Grade to achieve a Distinction :
    demonstrates an excellent grasp of the relevant knowledge base.
    Grade to achieve a Distinction :
    Applies appropriate (selected or given) skills with excellent levels of accuracy.
    Grade to achieve a Distinction :
    is structured in a way that is consistently
    logical and fluent
    GRADE DISTINCTION:
    You need to show the use of relevant facts with excellent levels of accuracy, using language that is appropriate to science, accurately with only minor errors. While explaining the functions of skeletal system (1.1) and structure and formation of the bone and cartilage (2.1) you will need to do some independent investigation, and apply your understanding and knowledge. You will need to draw appropriate and relevant diagrams using headings, (sources adapted from) and clearly relating them to your explanation. You should present your answers using language that is appropriate and accessible to your intended audience consistently fluently written. You will be expected to use the Harvard system of referencing accurately. You will be expected to meet all the expectations laid out in the “guidance”, including word limits +/- 10%. The test, will show the above qualities and apply your skills in identifying bones and joints from specimens with excellent levels of accuracy throughout your responses, and a consistently logical approach using scientific language.
