    Joints allow movement between bones in the body. There are four main types of joints: ball and socket, pivotal, hinge, and fixed. The skeleton is made up of bones including the skull, backbone, shoulder bones, rib cage, and pelvic bones. Cartilage is softer than bone and helps joints move. Bones are moved by muscles contracting and relaxing in pairs. Different animals like earthworms, snails, cockroaches, birds, fish, and snakes move using different combinations of bones, muscles, fins, and limbs.

    CHAPTER - 8

    BODY MOVEMENTS

    CLASS :- VI
    SUBJECT :- SCIENCE
    1) Joints :-
    The places where two parts of our body are joined
    together with the help of bones are called joints.
    There are four main types of joints. They are :-
    i) Ball and socket joint
    ii) Pivotal joint
    iii) Hinge joint
    iv) Fixed joint
    i) Ball and socket joint :-
    Ball and socket joint is a joint which allows movement in
    all directions.
    In this joint the rounded end of one bone fits into the
    cavity of the other bone.
    Eg ; Shoulder joint, hip joint etc.

    Shoulder joint Hip joint


    ii) Pivotal joint :-

    Pivotal joint is a joint which allows forward, backward and


    sideways movements.
    In this joint, cylindrical bones rotate in a ring.
    Eg : neck joints, joints of back bone etc.

    Backbone Joints of backbone


    iii) Hinge joint :-
    Hinge joint is a joint which allows back and forth
    movement like a hinge.
    Eg : elbow joint, knee joint etc.

    Elbow joint Knee joint


    iv) Fixed joints :-
    Fixed joint is a joint in which the bones are fixed and
    cannot move.
    Eg : joints in the skull, joints in upper jaw etc.
    2) Skeleton :-
    The bones of our body forms a framework which gives
    shape to our body. This framework of bones is called
    skeleton.
    The main parts of the skeleton are :-

    Skull
    Backbone
    Shoulder bones
    Rib cage
    Pelvic bones
    Bones of hands and legs
    3) Cartilage :-
    Cartilage are parts of the skeleton which are not as hard
    as bones and which can bend. It joins the bones together
    and helps in movement.
    4) Functions of bones and cartilage :-
    i) Bones and cartilage form
    the skeleton of the body.
    ii) They give frame and shape
    to the body.
    iii) They help in movements of
    the body.
    iv) They protect the internal
    organs of the body.
    5) Movement of bones :-
    Bones move with the help of muscles. The muscles work
    in pairs. When one muscle contracts , the other muscle
    relaxes. Bones move by the contraction and relaxation of
    the muscles.
    6a) Movement of earthworm :-
    The earthworm moves by the extension and contraction
    of its body muscles. The tiny bristles under the body helps
    in gripping the ground.
    b) Movement of snail :-
    A snail moves by the contraction and relaxation of its
    muscular foot.
    c) Movement of cockroach :-
    A cockroach has three pairs of legs for walking and two
    pairs of wings for flying. The muscles of the legs and
    breast helps the cockroach for walking and flying.
    d) Movement of birds :-
    Birds have hind limbs for walking and perching. The fore
    limbs are modified as wings for flying. The muscles of the
    hind limbs and breast helps the birds for walking and flying.
    Birds have hollow bones and wings with feathers for flying.
    e) Movement of fish :-
    Fishes swim in water with the help of its body muscles and fins.
    Fishes have streamlined body. Their head and tail are smaller than the
    middle part of the body.
    When fishes swim, the head and tail forms curves in opposite
    directions. Then suddenly the head and tail forms curves in opposite
    direction and pushes the body forward. The fins help in movement and
    to balance the body.
    f) Movement of snake :-
    Snakes move with the help of their muscles and
    backbone. The body of snake curves into many loops.
    Then the muscles give a forward push and the snake
    moves forward.
