By contracting and relaxing
In pairs
By pulling, never pushing
All of the above
All of the above
Skeletal muscles are
Voluntary muscles
Involuntary muscles
Both
Neither
A. voluntary muscles
Muscle tissues help with temperature regulation by
Releasing sweat through pores
Contracting to create thermal (heat) energy
Protecting the organs on the inside of your body
They do not help with temperature regulation
2. Contracting to create thermal (heat) energy
Muscle that can only be found in the heart and pumps blood throughout the body is called _______________ muscle.
Cardiac
What happens when a muscle contracts?
The muscle lengthens
The muscle pushes on a bone
The muscle pushes on another muscle
The muscle shortens.
4. The muscle shortens

What is one function of sweating?
Allows the body to move
Enables calcium to be absorbed
Increases body temperature
Lowers body temperature
When exposed to the sun, the skin produces Vitamin D which
Protects from UV rays
Causes damage to the skin
Allows bones to absorb calcium and phosphorus

When trying to keep muscles healthy, is it more important to eat a healthy diet or to exercise? Explain your answer.

Provides support and movement
How does the skin’s ability to produce new skin cells help protect your body?
Mitosis (replacement and repair) Old skin cells are shed and new are growing to replace and repair
How do the skeletal system, muscular system, and skin help the body maintain homeostasis? Explain how each system works independently to maintain homeostasis and give an example of how they work together.
Skeletal: Ca production, red blood cell production --> nervous system, circulatory system, all body systems
integumentary system + muscular system = temp regulation (shivering and sweating)
Integumentary system: vit. D production for Ca absorption in skeletal system; elimination of waste; sensory reception for other body systems
fully explained, good job!
Give an example of how your skeletal system helps maintain homeostasis.
Production of calcium for skeletal system
responds to stimuli - nervous system
Production of red blood cells - circulatory system
