3. Locomotion Flashcards
szkielet
skeleton
skeleton
= a set of 206 fused and individual bones of the body
muscle
= contractile tissue that produces force and sets the attached bones in motion
bone
= type of rigid and dense connective tissue that constitutes the endoskeleton of the human body
chrząstka
cartilage
ścięgno
tendon
cartilage
= a flexible connective tissue found in the joints between bones, the ribcage, the ear and the nose, etc, not as hard and rigid as bone but stiffer and less flexible than muscle
tendon
= a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone
więzadło
ligament
ligament
= a string of fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones
bones
= structures that support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells minerals and come in various shapes and structures
joint
= the location at where two or more bones make contact, articulate, that allows movement and provides support; this might be either movable or immovable
connective tissue
=tkanka łączna
= a group of tissue in the body that maintains the form of the body and its organs and provides organization and internal support
stanowić
constitute
fascia
= powięź
= a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, binding those structures together
sztywny
rigid
gęsty, zbity
dense
kurczliwy
contractile
szew
suture
suture
= an immovable joint found in the skull
articulation
= a movable joint
axial skeleton
= szkielet osiowy = a structure that consists of 80 bones along the central axis of the human body; it is composed of the human skull, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column
appendicular skeleton
= szkielet kończyn
= a structure that is composed of 126 bones, which is joined to yet another type of skeleton; functionally it is involved in locomotion and manipulation of objects in the enviroment
szpik
marrow
