Bones & Structure
hard tissue consisting of the protein collagen and minerals such as calcium that generally makes up most of the vertebrate endoskeleton
light, porous inner layer of bone that contains bone marrow
What is Spongy Bone
type of tissue that forms the body’s structure; includes bone, cartilage, and blood
What is Connective Tissue
a structure in the human or animal body at which two parts of the skeleton are fitted together
What is joints
a hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation
What is Heart
A flexible column that protects the spinal cord.
What is a Spine
dense outer layer of bone that is very hard and strong
What is Compact Bone
group of specialized cells of the same kind that perform the same function
What is Tissue
dense connective tissue containing the protein collagen that provides a smooth surface for the movement of bones at joints
What is Cartilage
a large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates, involved in many metabolic processes
What is The Liver
specialized areas of developing cartilage located near the ends of long bones in children and adolescents. They are responsible for bone elongation and, once a child reaches skeletal maturity, they harden into solid bone, marking the end of growth.
What is Growth Plates
tough, fibrous membrane that covers and protects the outer surface of bone
What is Periosteum
band of fibrous connective tissue that holds bones together
What are Ligaments
main organ of the central nervous system that serves as the control center of the nervous system and of the body as a whole
What is the Brain
a small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine
What is The Gallbladder
24, long, curved bones (12 pairs) that form a protective, cage-like structure around the chest, connecting to the spine in the back and the breastbone in the front. They protect vital organs like the heart and lungs, support the chest wall, and assist in breathing by expanding and contracting
What are the ribs
soft connective tissue in spongy bone that produces blood cells
What is Bone Marrow
a tough, flexible, and fibrous band of connective tissue that acts as a connector between muscle and bone. Tendons allow muscles to pull on bones, enabling body movement. They are highly resistant to tearing, though not very stretchy, and are crucial for joint stability
What is a Tendon
a soft, elastic tissue made of bundles of cells (fibers) that contract to produce movement, stabilize the body, and support vital functions
a gland behind the stomach that helps with digestion by producing enzymes for the small intestine and regulates blood sugar by making hormones like insulin and glucagon, essential for breaking down food and controlling
What is the stupid Pancreas
-Made By Boston
Greer would Agree
the longest, strongest, and heaviest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee
What is the Femur
The bony framework that protects the brain.
What is The Skull
one of many cable-like bundles of axons that make up the peripheral nervous system
What are Nerves
the individual bones that stack on top of each other to form the vertebral column, commonly known as the spine
What is the Vertebrae
organ of the respiratory system in which gas exchange takes place between the air and blood
What are the Lungs
