Our project is an aluminum foil skeleton covered in paper mache. It was designed to show the different parts of the skeletal system. Through our skeleton, we labeled the different bones. Through the project, we scaled the different bones to ⅓ their original size so our model skeleton could stand 2 feet in height. The skeleton protects your vital organs. I learned the three parts of the vertebrae. There are also 2 major sections of the skeletal system. There is the Axial and the Appendicular. The Axil consists of the Sternum, Cranium, Spinal Column, and ribs. The Appendicular consists of the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, arm bones, and long bones. 

Textbook Definition 

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness due to the alterations of a protein called dystrophin that helps keep muscle cells intact. DMD is one of four conditions known as dystrophinopathies. The other three diseases that belong to this group are Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD, a mild form of DMD); an intermediate clinical presentation between DMD and BMD; and DMD-associated dilated cardiomyopathy (heart-disease) with little or no clinical skeletal, or voluntary, muscle disease.

Our Definition

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes the muscles in the human body to degenerate. This is a disorder that mainly occurs to boys in adolescence. It is rare, not curable but treatable.  This happens because of a protein called dystrophin. Dystrophin keeps the muscle cell together.
