General Locomotion
What is locomtion
The interaction of muscles with the skeleton causing body movement(?)
What type of skeleton does the human body have
Endoskeleton
What is a muscle
A band or bundle of fibrous tissues in the human or animal body that has the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of a body part. It also gives strength
What is the musculoskeletal system
The muscular and skeletal systems working together. Bones and soft tissues work together to allow for movement
What is a sprain
A stretching or tearing of the ligaments which connect bone to bone at a joint
How does locomotion increase chances of survival
It allows an organism to gather food, hunt, seek shelter, and escape dangerous situations
What is an endoskeleton and what kind of animals are they found in?
An internal skeleton found in vertabrates
What are the 3 types of muscles
1. Visceral/smooth muscles
2. Cardiac muscles
3. Skeletal/striated muscles
What is cartilage
A white, firm, flexible connective tissue that is found in various forms and places in the body.
What is a strain
The stretching or tearing of the tendons which connect muscle to bone
Why is seeking a mate important
It allows you to reproduce and diversify genetic lines and blood lines
How many bones does the human body have at birth
270
What are visceral muscles?
They are found in the gut and other internal organs and are not under voluntary control
What happens to cartilage as your grow
It is slowly replaced by bones
How many degrees of injury can a sprain or strain have
3
Give 3 examples of locomotion increasing survival
1. Wildfire escape
2. Food shortage
3. Water Shortage
How many bones does the human body have at 21
206
What are cardiac Muscles
They are highly specialized tissue found only in the heart that allows the heart to pump blood for a lifetime.
What is a tendon
A flexiblebut inelastic cord of strong fibrous tissue that connects MUSCLE TO MUSCLE and MUSCLE TO BONE.
What is R.I.C.E.
1. rest
2. ice
3. compression
4. elevation
Did you say thank you to Ruthie
You better have by now
What are the major functions of bones
1. Body Support
2. Facilitating Movement
3. Protection of internal organs
4. Storage and release of fats and minerals
5. Hematopoiesis - the production of red blood cells/red bone marrow/yellow bone marrow
What are skeletal muscles
They allow us to move the body through contraction and relaxation. They help:
1. Maintain posture and body position
2. Support soft tissues
3. Encircle opening tracts of the body (digestion)
4. Maintain body temperature
What is a ligament
A short band of tough, fibrous tissue that connects BONE TO BONE. It holds joints together and damage is done in degrees.
Is Ruthie the best big sister in the whole wide world
YES
