What are the four functions of the circulatory system?
Transportation, protection, temperature, and fluid balance.
Your body can send messages to the brain at the speed of
200m/h
Peripheral NS
nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord
joint
where two or more bones meet
Autonomic
automatically: without thinking ex: heartbeat, breathing
Gliding Joint
bones glide over each other; wrist and ankle
Pivot Joint

Muscular organ that pumps blood.
ALS
degeneration of motor neurons
Voluntary
we control
longest bone in body
femur
Central NS
brain and spinal cord
Longest neuron in the body is
3ft from spine to big toe
Motor Neuron cells
carry messages away from the brain and spine to rest of the body
Cerebrum
Your cerebrum is the largest part of your brain and handles conscious thoughts and actions
Ball and Socket Joint rotational;
shoulder and hips
Osteoporois
bones lose density causing them to become weak
Parietal lobe
Help in movements, the perception of stimuli and orientation
Four types of tissues
connective, nervous, muscle, epithelial
Muscular Dystrophy
inherited muscle disorder
