SKELETAL SYSTEM
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
NERVOUS SYSTEM
GENERAL & SPECIAL SENSES
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
100
Structural support, storage, blood cell production, protection, and leverage.
What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system?
100
Attach to bones directly or indirectly and perform the following functions: (1) produce movement of the skeleton, (2) maintain posture and body position, (3) support soft tissues, (4) guard entrances and exits, and (5) maintain body temperature.
What are the functions of muscles?
100
The 2 major anatomical divisions of the nervous system.
What is CNS and PNS?
100
Temperature, pain, touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception.
What are the general senses?
100
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin (OXT).
What are hormones secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
200
Cells that dissolve the bony matrix through the process of osteolysis.
What are osteoclasts?
200
These require large amounts of energy from ATP.
What is muscle contractions?
200
These neurons form the afferent division of the PNS and deliver information to the CNS.
What are sensory neurons?
200
Smell, taste, vision, balance, and hearing.
What are the special senses?
200
Hormones secreted by thyroid gland.
What are T3 and T4?
300
Cells that synthesize the bony matrix in the process of ossification.
What are osteoblasts?
300
When a muscle fiber runs short of ATP and CP, enzymes can break down glycogen molecules to release glucose.
What is glycolysis?
300
The fluid within the ventricles in the brain.
What is cerebrospinal fluid?
300
Mechanoreceptors that detect pressure changes in the walls of blood vessels and in portions of the digestive, reproductive, and urinary tracts.
What are baroreceptors?
300
Produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) in response to lower than normal concentrations of calcium ions.
What are chief cells of the parathyroid gland?
400
Nourish chondrocytes, provide lubrication, and absorb shock.
What are the functions of synovial fluid?
400
This tissue type is non-striated, involuntary muscle tissue that can contract over a greater range of lengths than skeletal muscle cells.
What is smooth muscle?
400
The largest cranial nerves, are mixed nerves with ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches.
What is the trigeminal nerves (CN V).
400
Cells that are active in dim light for vision.
What are rod cells?
400
The hormone that induces ovulation in women and promotes the ovarian secretion of progesterone.
What is luteinizing hormone?
500
Skull, thorax, and vertebral column.
What is the axial skeleton?
500
Connective tissues, Blood vessels/nerves, and skeletal muscle tissue
What is the makeup of skeletal muscle?
500
Special covering membranes that protect and support the spinal cord and the delicate brain.
What is the meninges?
500
These respond to a variety of stimuli usually associated with tissue damage or pain.
What are nociceptors?
500
The element required for normal thyroid function.
What is iodine?
