About Skeletal and Muscular Systems
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The listed resources split into two connected halves: the skeleton and the muscles. On the skeleton side you will find bone names, bone types, the functions of the skeleton and the different kinds of joint. On the muscle side the focus is on muscle structure, muscle shape and function, and how muscles contract.
Where to start
Begin with the quiz B7 Quiz - The Skeleton, Movement and Exercise. It asks you to label the skeleton, name its functions and explain haematopoiesis. If you want to learn names first, try Bones, Muscles & Skin: The Human Skeleton, where you type the correct name of each bone.
Next, move to joints. The flashcard deck Joints lists cartilage joints and the synovial types, including hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle and ball and socket. The flowchart Types of joints and the Joints and connective tissues quiz let you check what you have learned.
Muscles and contraction
The quiz Muscles - sliding filament theory starts from the basics: what muscle is made up of, why each muscle fibre is a single cell, and what multinucleate means. The flowchart Stages of Muscle Contraction and the deck Sliding Filament Theory give you the same ideas in a different form. For fibre types, there is a quiz on slow-twitch versus fast-twitch muscle fibres.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map such as The Skeleton and Muscles first. It sets out support, protection and the other functions of the skeleton in one view. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which answers you missed. Go back to the map for those branches only. Flashcards suit short, repeated sessions, and the mind maps are a quick way to review before a test.
The resources mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, GCSE PE, GCSE Physical Education and ATAR Human Biology, so you can look for material that matches your course. Teachers can pick a ready-made quiz or slide set for a lesson.

Frequently asked questions
Which quiz should I try first?
Try B7 Quiz - The Skeleton, Movement and Exercise. It covers labelling the skeleton, the functions of the skeleton and bone tissue, so it shows quickly what you already know. If your weak spot is muscle, start with Muscles - sliding filament theory instead.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
The mind maps cover the skeleton, bone classification, synovial joints, the three types of muscle, muscle tissue and the sliding filament model. The Skeleton and Muscles sets out the functions of the skeleton, such as support and protection. There are over 500 mind maps to browse.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking that a resource matches your own course before relying on it.
Which levels and exams do these resources suit?
Most of the material is at secondary level. The resources mention GCSE Biology, A-level Biology, GCSE PE, GCSE Physical Education and ATAR Human Biology. School students can use them for revision, and teachers can use them as ready-made classroom material.
Can I find help with joints specifically?
Yes. Look at the Joints flashcard deck, the Types of joints flowchart, the Joints and connective tissues quiz and the Synovial Joints mind map. Together they cover cartilage joints and synovial types, including hinge, pivot, saddle and ball and socket joints.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Browse the related quizzes, notes and slide sets first, since titles vary a lot between contributors. If you still cannot find it, a free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and keeps your quiz scores.
