Structure of Structures in Skeletal System
Functions of the Muscular System
Types of Muscles
100
Without bones, your body would be like the gelatin cubes. Thankfully, the skeletal system provides this function.
What is Support?
100
This bone encases our brains.
What is the cranium?
100
Function of the red bone marrow.
What is the production of red blood cells?
100
These are the two activities that muscles can perform.
What is contraction and relaxation?
100
This describes muscles that you can consciously control.
What is a voluntary muscle?
200
Your skeletal system and your muscular system work together to provide this function.
What is Movement?
200
This is the longest bone in the leg.
What is the femur.
200
Function of the yellow bone marrow.
What is the storage of lipids (fats)?
200
The act of shivering — the rapid contraction-and-relaxation of muscles — serves this function of the muscular system.
What is temperature regulation?
200
These are voluntary muscles that attaches to bones.
What are skeletal muscles?
300
Organs like the heart and lungs are easily damaged. Thankfully, structures in the skeletal system — such as the ribcage — can provide this function.
What is Protection?
300
This is the name of the bones in our fingertips. Or our toes.
What are phalanges?
300
Function of the cartilage.
What is the protection of ends of bones and joints?
300
The muscular system covers most of your body, akin to "padding", which allows it to serve this function.
What is protection?
300
This structure connects muscles to bone.
What are tendons?
400
Before taking a biology course, most students are unaware that the skeletal system is involved in this function, which involves red blood cells.
What is Production?
400
This bone holds together our ribcage. Commonly called the "breastbone".
What is the sternum?
400
Ligaments provide stability as a function, because they connect bones to this type of structure.
What are bones?
400
This function is enabled by cord-like structures that connect muscle to bones, holding our joints together when the body moves.
What is stability?
400
This is an involuntary muscle that controls the blood-flow of the human organism.
What is the cardiac muscle?
500
This instructor was encouraged to drink milk to ensure a healthy external supply of calcium. Otherwise, our body will start obtaining it from our bones. This is because our skeletal system does this function.
What is Storage?
500
Commonly referred to as our shoulder blade.
What is the scapula?
500
Tendons provide stability as a function, because they connect bones to this type of structure.
What are muscles?
500
When faced with hypoxia — when body tissue has an insufficient amount of oxygen to perform cellular respiration — the muscular system responds by increasing contraction of a particular type of muscle to ensure a steady supply of oxygen. This phenomenon of keeping the body in "balance" is known as this.
What is homeostasis?
500
This is involuntary muscles that lines the insides of hollow organs such as the intestine.
What are smooth muscles?
