Introduction
This webquest was created to help all my students learn anatomy in a fun and interactive way. Let's get learning!
Task
InnerBody.Com is a great source to learn all about the muscle and skeletal system. Head on over to begin your learning, then put the lesson to practice by filling in the blanks below!
Skeletal System:
1.) The skeletal system includes all of the ___ and ___ in the body.
2.) The skeletal system also provides attachment points for ___ to allow ___ at the joints.
3.) The skeletal system in an adult body is made up of ___ individual bones. These bones are arranged into two major divisions: the __ skeleton and the __ skeleton
4.) The axial skeleton runs along the body’s midline axis and is made up of __ bones in the following regions:
- · Skull
- · ___
- · Auditory ossicles
- · __
- · Sternum
- · ____ column
5.) The appendicular skeleton is made up of ___ bones in the following regions:
- · Upper limbs
- · ___ limbs
- · Pelvic girdle
- · ___ (shoulder) girdle
Muscle System
1.) The muscular system is responsible for the __ of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about __named muscles that make up roughly __of a person’s body weight.
2.) There are three types of muscle tissue: Visceral, ___, and skeletal.
3.) ___ muscle is the only voluntary muscle tissue in the human body—it is controlled consciously.

5.) Skeletal muscles are named based on many different factors, including the following:
- Location
- Origin and ___
- Number of origins
- ___
- Size
- Direction
- ____
At the following link, you will find interactive exercises which will allow you to label the skeletal and muscle system.
Next you will be able to quiz yourself on the various systems – how well can you do? Good luck!
Conclusion
Congratulations on completing this webquest on the skeletal and muscular systems! As your final task, let’s see how fun learning about anatomy can actually be by playing some fun and interactive games. Please click on the following links and enjoy!
