300
This side of the brain, or hemisphere, that assists in performing tasks such as logical thinking, science & mathematics.
What is the LEFT HEMISPHERE?!?!
300
This material protects bones from breaking down when they rub against each other.
What is CARTILAGE?!?!
300
The rubber-band like cords that not only connect muscle to bone but also help protect muscle from strain during movement.
What is a TENDON?!?!

This type of joint allows for movement in only ONE direction...
What is a HINGE JOINT?!?!
500
This kind of muscle is involved with posture & body position; helping hold our body and limbs in place with isometric contractions (a contraction generating little movement).
What is TONIC MUSCLE?!?!
500
An uncontrolled contraction of the diaphragm muscle quickly followed by our vocal cord snapping shut; resulting in this involuntary phenomenon!
