25
how many bones are there
206
26
how many muscles are I n the body
650
27
cardiac muscle
is a type of striated muscle found only in the heart
28
involuntary muscles
(nonstriated) are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and control body functions such as breathing and digestion.
29
voluntary muscles
(striated) are muscles that we control at will.
30
platysma
lowers jaw and lip
31
frontalis
epicranius- raises the eyebrows draws the scalp forward and causes wrinkles the forehead
32
epicranius
broad muscle that covers the top of the skull
33
epicranial aponeurosis
tendon that connects the occipital and frontal muscles
34
occipitalis
back portion of the epicranius. draws scalp backwards
35
sternocledomastoideus
neck muscle that lowers and rotates the head
36
corrugator
small muscle located between the eyebrows below the frontalis draws the eyebrows down and wrinkles the forehead vertically
37
temporalis
located near the temples it opens and close the jaw
38
autonomic nervous system (ANS)
involuntary
39
central nervous system (CNS)
voluntary muscles
40
peripheral nervous system (PNS)
motor nerves sends signals
41
sensor nerves
also known as afferent nerves, they carry messages from the sense organs (heat, cold, sight, sound, smell, taste) to the brain and spinal cord.
42
motor nerves
also known as efferent nerves, they carry impulses from the brain to the muscles or glands. These transmitted impulses produce movement.
43
arteries
Carry's oxygenated blood away from the heart to the arterioles
44
aorta
largest artery
45
arterioles
small arteries that deliver blood to capillaries
46
capillaries
tiny blood vessels that connect the smaller arteries to the venules
47
venules
small Venus that connect capillaries to larger Veins
48
veins
thin-walled blood vessels that are less elastic than arteries and carry blood containing waste product to the heart and lungs for cleaning
49
external carotid artery
supplies blood to parts of the scalp ears face and neck
50
common carotid artery
on both sides of the neck that supplies blood to the head face and neck
50
internal carotid artery
supplies blood to the brain eyes eyelids forehead nose and internal ear
