Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
(55 cards)
muscle wasting; individuals become immobile and have short lifespan
Muscular Dystrophy
this system is essential for movement and provides protection, structure, and support
Skeletal System
3 types of animal skeleton
Hydrostatic Skeleton, Exoskeleton, Endoskeleton
it supports the body and movement even in the absence of bones
Hydrostatic Skeleton
examples of hydrostatic skeleton
earthworms , cnidarians
this type of skeleton is unsuitable for activities that need the body to be lifted off the ground
Hydrostatic Skeleton
external covering made of hard hard materials
Exoskeleton
composed pf proteins and chitin
Arthropods Exoskeleton
rigid and leathery material among soft tissue
Endoskeleton
Examples of Endoskeleton
humans and echinoderms
this type of skeleton is composed of axial and appendicular skeleton
Vertebrate Skeleton
main scaffold of the body to protect delicate internal organs
Axial
example of axial skeleton
Skull, Vertebral column, rib cage
example of appendicular skeleton
limbs ( fins, wings, arms, legs)
consists of bones of appendages and the bones which connect the appendages to the axial skeleton
Appendicular
composed of several lining tissues; supplied with nutrients and hormones
bones
covers each end of bone to protect it as it glides past another bone
cartilage
covers most of the length of the hone which aids in bone restructuring during fracture
Soft connective tissue
maintains bone flexibility while the hard minerals enable the bone to withstand tension
Collagen
composes bone length
Compact Bone
it stores fats
Yellow bone marrow
it produces red blood cells
Red bone marrow
connective tissue that connects bones and joints
Ligaments
A type of joint thay dictates bone movement and can do multiple movements like swing, lift, rotate
Ball nd socket joints
