Bones
These two bones articulate with the humerus and make up the forearm.
What are the radius and ulna?
Give a big stretch! This muscle is responsible for extending the arm by straightening the elbow.
What is the triceps?
Don't think too hard! You might stress this tissue specialized for carrying information.
What is nervous tissue?
The biceps flexes the arm at the elbow. That makes it this type of muscle.
What is a flexor?
This organelle is the smallest in the cell, but has an outsized role as the sole producer of proteins.
What are ribosomes?
Someone who is thickheaded might respond they simply have a robust version of this bone that protects the brain.
What is the cranium?
What a pain in the...muscle that extends the leg at the hip and makes 6th graders giggle uncontrollably for reasons Dr. Dornhoffer still does not entirely understand.
What is the gluteus?
Blood links all of the organ systems of the body, making it this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue?
The triceps increases the angle of the arm at the elbow. That makes it this kind of muscle.
What is an extensor?
These small organelles are chaos in a bag, due to the hydrolytic enzymes they contain for breaking down large molecules and worn out organelles.
What are the lysosomes?
This set of bones helps us stand upright, and is known to produce swearing when stubbed against furniture.
What are the phalanges?
This muscle that makes up most of the lower leg extends the ankle, and is also well known for cramping during strenuous runs.
What is the gastrocnemius?
Bones are mainly this type of tissue.
What is connective tissue?
These organelles are often called the shipping center of the cell, due to their role packaging and sorting proteins for export.
What is the Golgi?
Also known as the tailbone, this bone is a remnant of our evolutionary past as tree-dwelling primates.
What is the coccyx?
Pullup time! This is the muscle we work out during a pullup, because it pulls the arm down at the shoulder.
What is the latissimus dorsi?
Your skin is primarily this type of tissue.
What is epithelial tissue?
Oof, getting up from a chair after long class is likely to use this muscle group to extend the hip.
What are the hamstrings?
These organelles are a bit odd because they contain their own DNA, but we won't hold that against them as they make ATP.
What are mitochondria?
Also known as the shoulder blade, this is the bone I'm using when I shrug my shoulders.
What is the scapula?
A soccer player will definitely make use of these powerful muscles that extend the leg at the knee.
What is the quadriceps?
This smooth connective tissue is found in all joints and helps cushion shocks.
What is cartilage?
It's gym day! This muscle group is the primary agonist of a chest press or pushup.
What are the pectorals?
When our blood sugar is high, insulin encourages sugar to be absorbed and stored as the polysaccharide glycogen. This organelle is the one responsible for producing that glycogen.
What is the smooth ER?
