THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM QUIZ!!!!

BRING ON THE MUSCLES

100

MUSCLES CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO THREE TYPES. NAME ALL THREE TYPES

• Cardiac muscle, which forms the muscular layer of the heart (myocardium) 
• Smooth muscle, which comprises the walls of blood vessels and hollow organs 
• Skeletal muscle, which attaches to the bones and provides voluntary movement. 

200

WHAT ARE THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF THE SKELETAL MUSCLES?

• Muscles of the head and neck, which include the muscles of the facial expression, muscles of mastication, muscles of the orbit, muscles of the tongue, muscles of the pharynx, muscles of the larynx, and muscles of the neck
• Muscles of the trunk, which include the muscles of the back, anterior and lateral abdominal muscles, and muscles of the pelvic floor
• Muscles of the upper limbs, which include muscles of the shoulder, muscles of the arm, muscles of the forearm and muscles of the hand
• Muscles of the lower limbs, which include hip and thigh muscles, leg muscles and foot muscles

300

WHAT ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF EACH GROUP OF SKELETAL MUSCLE?

• Muscles of the head and neck, which include the muscles of the facial expression, muscles of mastication, muscles of the orbit, muscles of the tongue, muscles of the pharynx, muscles of the larynx, and muscles of the neck
• Muscles of the trunk, which include the muscles of the back, anterior and lateral abdominal muscles, and muscles of the pelvic floor
• Muscles of the upper limbs, which include muscles of the shoulder, muscles of the arm, muscles of the forearm and muscles of the hand
• Muscles of the lower limbs, which include hip and thigh muscles, leg muscles and foot muscles

400

WHAT ARE THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF MOVEMENTS THAT MUSCLES PERFORM?

FLEXING AND EXTENSION

ADDUCTION AND ABDUCTION

ROTATION

SUPINATION AND PRONATION

LET'S TALK BONES!!

100

HOW MANY BONES DOES THE BODY HAVE?

206

200

WHAT ARE THE TWO CATEGORIES OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM?

• Axial skeleton, that includes the bones along the long axis of the body. The axial skeleton consists of the vertebral column, bones of the head and bones of the thoracic cage.
• Appendicular skeleton, that involves the bones of the shoulder and pelvic girdle, as well as the bones of the upper and lower extremities.

300

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A BONE AND WHAT ARE THE NAMES OF THE TWO LAYERS THAT MAKE UP A BONE?

Bones are rigid structures made of calcified dense connective tissue 

Compact (cortical) bone is the outer much denser layer of the bone which gives it its smooth, white, and solid appearance. 

Spongy (cancellous) bone is the deep airy layer of the bone

400

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BONES? NAME THREE

LONG BONES

SHORT BONES

FLAT BONES

SESAMOID BONES

IRREGULAR BONES

500

NAME THE THREE CATEGORIES OF JOINTS, LIGAMENTS AND CARTILAGE

SYNOVIAL, FIBROUS AND CARTILAGINOUS 

CAPSULAR, INTRACAPSULAR, EXTRACAPSULAR

HYALINE, ELASTIC AND FIBROCARTILAGE

DESCRIBE THAT FUNCTION

100

WHAT DOES A TENDON DO?

A tendon is a tough, flexible band of dense connective tissue that serves to attach skeletal muscles to bones.

200

WHAT DOES CARTILAGE DO?

Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in multiple organ systems of the body. It provides congruence to the articulating bones and allows them to bear weight and glide over each other with very little friction.

300

WHAT DO JOINTS DO?

Joints provide a fulcrum to the bones, on which they pivot and thereby allow movements of body parts.

400

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM? NAME THREE

The bones give the shape to the body and provide the site of attachment to muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. 

The skeletal system protects the internal organs

The skeletal system serves several metabolic functions. The bones are the storage site of important minerals, most notably calcium and phosphorus.  

The bone marrow found in spongy bone is the site of hematopoiesis, which is a process of production of new blood cells.

500

WHAT ARE SOME FUNCTIONS OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM? NAME THREE

The main function of the muscular system is to produce movement of the body 

Both during movement and stationary positions, muscles contribute to the overall support and stability of joints 

 In addition, the muscles also play an important role in maintaining posture. 

Another important function of muscles is heat production
