Answer 5

Controls voluntary activities

Question 6

Autonomic nervous system

Answer 6

Controls involuntary activities; breaks down into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

Question 7

Gray matter

Answer 7

Consists of nerve cells embedded in neuroglia (specialized tissues)

Question 8

White matter

Answer 8

Consists of nerve fibers (axons) embedded in neuroglia

Question 9

Cauda equina

Answer 9

Verticals bundle of nerves that resemble a horses tail located at the roots of the lumbar and sacral nerves below the level of the termination of the cord

Question 10

Anterior root of spinal nerve

Answer 10

Bundles of nerve fibers carrying nerve impulses away from the central nervous system and are efferent and attached to the spinal cord

Question 11

Posterior root of spinal nerve

Answer 11

Bundles of nerve fibers that carry impulses to the central nervous system and are affront nerve fibers; attach to the spinal cord

Question 12

Serous membrane

Answer 12

Line the cavities of the trunk and are reflected onto the mobile viscera lying within these cavities

Question 13

Compact bone

Answer 13

Appears as a solid mass; dense bone

Question 14

Cancellous

Answer 14

Consists if branching network of trabeculae which resists stress and strains to which the Bone is expressed

Question 15

Long bones

Answer 15

Found in the limbs ( femur, metacarpals, humorous) and their length is greater than their width

Question 16

Diaphysis of long bones

Answer 16

Tubular shaft that during growth is separated from the epiphysis by the epiphyseal cartilage; has a central marrow cavity containing bone marrow, and is covered by a connective tissue Sheath known as the periosteum

Question 17

Epiphysis of long bone

Answer 17

At the ends of the diaphysis; contain the epiphyseal plate where growth occurs

Question 18

Short bones

Answer 18

Found in the hands and feet (talus and calcaneus) and are roughly cuboidal in shape; composed of cancellous bone surrounded by a thin layer of compact bone

Question 19

Flat bones

Answer 19

Found in the skull and scapula; composed of thin layers of compact bone

Question 20

Irregular bones

Answer 20

Include bones not in any other group like the vertebrae, bones of the skull and the pelvic bones, made up of a thin layer of compact bone and inside cancellous bone

Question 21

Sesamoid bones

Answer 21

Small nodules of bones found in certain tendons, example is the patella

Question 22

Where is d bone marrow found?

Answer 22

Thoracic cage, bones of the skull, vertebral column, girdle bones, and the head of the femur and humerus

Question 23

Hyaline cartilage

Answer 23

In childhood plays important role in growth at the epiphyseal plate; it is incapable of repair and is replaced with fibrous tissue

Question 24

Fibrocartilage

Answer 24

Has many collagen fibers, small amount of matrix, and is found in discs within joints, can replace itself

Question 25

Elastic cartilage

Answer 25

Large number of elastic fibers, very flexible and can repair itself, found in the epiglottis, auricle of ear, external auditory meats, and auditory tube
