Skeletal system
This system consists of three types of connective tissue which protects and supports body tissue and protects internal organs.
What is the skeletal system?
They are striated in appearance and are under voluntary control.
What is smooth muscle?
The organ system that is made up of bones and skeletal muscle; the system that supports the body, protects delicate organs and makes movement possible.
What is the musculoskeletal system?
The function of the _________ is flexible, low-friction support and is found on the end of bones.
What is the function of the cartilage?
How many bones are in the skeletal system?
206
The main function of this system is movement. They are the only tissue in the body that has the ability to contract and therefore move the other parts of the body
What is the main function of the muscular system?
_____________is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. They may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A ___________ serves to move the bone or structure. .
What are Tendons?
A _____________ is a tough elastic connective tissue that hold bones together at the joints.
What is a ligament?
They protect you against illness and disease. Think of them as your immunity cells.
What are white blood cells?
Medical doctors who have specialized in treating bone and joint disorders are known as:
What are Orthopedists?
__________________muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear striated, and are under involuntary control. ?
What is cardiac muscle?
This system's primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs.
What are the main functions of the musculoskeletal system?
Its made up of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets in a liquid called plasma.
What is blood?
The function of these is to connect muscle tissues to bones.
What is a muscle-tendon?
They are made up of compact tissue (the hard, outer layer) and cancellous tissue (the spongy, inner layer that contains red marrow). This tissue is maintained by forming cells called osteoblasts and cells that break them down are called osteoclasts.
What are Bones?
muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control.
What is smooth muscle?
A _____________ is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
What are ligaments?
This is found between bones.
What is a Joint (articulation)?
How do muscles make bones move?
Each end of a skeletal muscle is connected by tendons to one or more different bones in the skeleton. When the muscle contracts (shortens) they pull and the bone moves.
What are the three types of connective tissue in the skeletal system?
Bones, ligaments, cartilage.
What happens when muscles contract?
The muscles get shorter and thicker.
________________ specializes specialize in the musculoskeletal system and in bone and joint injuries and disorders.
What is an orthopedist?
They store 99% of the body's calcium and 85% of the phosphorus.
What are bones?
What happens to the triceps when the biceps relax.
The triceps contracts
