Bones & Skeleton
These cells are responsible for bone formation.
Osteoblasts
This type of joint allows the greatest range of motion.
Ball-and-Socket
This protein forms the thick filaments in skeletal muscle.
Myosin
This is the functional unit of compact bone.
Osteon
These structures connect bone to bone.
Ligaments
This is the functional unit of skeletal muscle.
Sarcomere
This structure allows long bones to grow in length.
Epiphyseal Plate
This movement decreases the angle between two bones.
This neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction.
Acetylcholine
This mineral is most abundant in bone tissue.
This type of synovial joint is found at the elbow.
This type of contraction produces tension without changing muscle length.
Isometric
This bone contains the tibial tuberosity.
Tibia
This condition results from degeneration of articular cartilage.
Osteoarthritis
This muscle is the prime mover for forearm flexion.
