Skeletal
What is the diaphysis?
The main or midsection (shaft) of a long bone.
List the three types of muscle in the human body
• Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. ...
• Smooth muscle – located in various internal structures including the digestive tract, uterus and blood vessels such as arteries. ...
• Cardiac muscle – the muscle specific to the heart.
What are the four types of tissues?
Maxilla
the bone that forms your upper jaw
Osteoblasts
are bone-forming cell
in teams to build bone
What is the epiphysis?
Expanded end of the long bones.
Describe the function of a tendon.
Serves to move the bone or structure.
List the three types of cells that make up epithelial tissues.
Mandible
the jaw or a jawbone, especially the lower jawbone in mammals and fishes.
osteoclasts
resorb degrade bone to initiate normal bone remodeling and mediate bone loss in pathologic conditions by increasing their resorptive activity.
What is the difference between Intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification?
Bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage.
The principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
List the three kinds of Connective tissue.
Zygomatic bone
the bone that forms the prominent part of the cheek and the outer side of the eye socket.
the midbrain’s function
functions in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing.
Describe the relationship between PTH (parathyroid hormone) and Calcitonin.
Parathyroid hormone acts to increase blood calcium levels, while calcitonin acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
Energy for muscle contractions
Creatine phosphate (CP)
Describe ground substance.
An amorphous gel-like substance in the extracellular space
Lacrimal bone
a small bone forming part of the eye socket.
the pons
the respiratory rhythm of breathing
The two main divisions of the Skeletal System are
axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton
During exercise, friction between muscle fibers generates heat. What are two ways the body reduces this heat?
• Evaporation of water from your skin if it is wet (sweating).
• Radiation (similar to heat leaving a wood stove).
The two kinds of Connective Tissue Proper
Loose connective tissue (also called areolar) and dense (irregular) connective tissue.
Hyoid bone
U-shaped bone in the neck which supports the tongue.
medulla oblongata
the lowest part of the brain and the lowest portion of the brainstem.
