Joints that produce no movement are called 

synarthrosis 

100

name the 3 types of muscle

skeletal, cardiac, smooth 

100

name the functions of the nervous system and endocrine system and compare 

coordinate all activities to maintain homeostasis 

NS = fast 

ES= slower but lasts longer 

100

name the 3 layers of meninges 

dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater 

100

white matter vs gray matter 

white = myelinated axons 

gray = unmyelinated axons 

200

give 3 examples of immoveable joints 

suture, gomphosis, synchondrosis 

200

list 4 skeletal muscle functions

move, maintain, protect, support, guard, homeostasis 

200

the myelin of the CNS is due to what cells 

oligodendrocytes 

200

what separates the right and left brain 

corpus collosum 

200

the muscle in charge of extension of the arm 

triceps brachii 

300

give the name of slightly moveable joints and two examples 

amphiarthrosis 

syndesmosis, symphysis 

300

compare and contrast skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle

smooth = involuntary, unstriated, uninucleate 

cardiac = involuntary, striated, uninucleate 

skeletal = multinucleate, voluntary, striated 

300

describe afferent vs efferent 

afferent = sensory 

efferent = motor

300

name the 6 regions of the brain 

cerebrum 

diencephalon 

midbrain 

pons 

medulla oblongata 

cerebellum 

300

what is communicated between nerves 

neurotransmitters


400

name all 6 types of synovial joints 

saddle, pivot, ball and socket, gliding, hinge, condylar 

400

describe the function of the sarcomere and the components inside 

actin and myosin, what allows the muscles to contract 

400

compare and contrast somatic vs autonomic system 

somatic controls skeletal muscle 

autonomic controls smooth, cardiac and glands 

400

name function of limbic system and components 

emotions! 

olfactory cortex, basal nuclei, hippocampus 

400

name the neuroglial cells of CNS and their functions 

astrocytes = BBB

oligodendrocytes = myelination 

microglia = immune system of brain 

ependymal cells = CBS 

500

give an example of each type of synovial joint 

hinge = elbow 

gliding = clavicle and scapula 

condylar = joints in hand 

saddle = finger joints 

pivot = joints between atlas 

ball and socket = hip and leg 

500

give the origin, insertion and action of the biceps brachii 

origin = scapula 

insertion = radius 

action = flexion and supination 

500

list and describe the classification of neurons 

bipolar  = have 1 dendrite and 1 axon (special sense organs) 

multipolar = two or more dendrite and 1 axon (CNS neurons)

unipolar = dendrites and axon are continuous (sensory neurons) 


500

name components of the brainstem and functions

diencephalon = integrates sensory info

midbrain = sensory info 

medulla oblongata = reflex centers

pons = links the others to spinal cord 

500

name the lobes of the brain and functions

frontal = higher processing 

parietal = touch perception and orientation

occipital - sight 

temporal = auditory processing and langage

brainstem = involuntary response

cerebellum = balance and coordination
