A

upper/lower limbs, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle

18
Q

axial skeleton

A

skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum

19
Q

tissue

A

a group of similar cells that are designed to carry out a specific function

20
Q

agarose

A

supports gel electrophoresis by being the gel

21
Q

biometrics

A

the measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characterists

22
Q

in what ways do the body parts of a human body system work together to carry out a specific function

A

using the cardiovascular system as an example, the heart is the main organ that is composed of atria, ventricles, arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, capillaries that help transport blood

23
Q

in what ways do different human body systems work together to complete specific functions

A

using the cardiovascular and the respiratory as an example, to have the exchange of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood the respiratory and cardiovascular work together through the respiratory oxygenated the blood through the hemoglobin and the cardiovascular using the capillaries to exchanged the two

24
Q

what features of structure and function are common to all humans

A

humans have two legs, four types of tissues, four chambered heart, 23 pairs of chromosomes

25
Q

what are the main types of tissue in the body

A

connective, epithelial, nervous, muscular

26
Q

connective tissue

A

(adipose(fat), blood, bones, cartilage) fills in spaces

27
Q

nervous tissue

A

(neurons, neuroglia) long axons to allow signals to travel & “branches” for connection

28
Q

epithelial tissue

A

lines organs and are layers

29
Q

muscle tissue

A

(makes up all the muscles(heart as well)) long and narrow so they can contract

30
Q

how does the distribution and structure of different types of tissues in the body contribute to personal identity

A

connective tissue can show a skinny or fat person, muscle can show someone that is muscular or not, nervous depends on how someone thinks

31
Q

what are the functions of the human skeletal system

A

axial system- protect soft organs such as the brain, heart, or lungs
appendicular- provides attachment points for muscles that allow movement

32
Q

what is forensic anthropology and how does this field relate to human body systems

A

forensic anthropology is the study of human bones to determine information about the deceased and decide cause of death and whether a crime was commited

33
Q

how can features of bone be used to determine information about a person’s gender, age, ethnicity, or stature

A

gender- skull or pelvis(males, square eye sockets, ushaped mandible, brow and ridges sharp, heart shaped pelvis, angled in coccyx)(females, round eye sockets, vshaped mandible, smoother bones, rounded pelvis, wider pubic arch)
age- pelvis(bone fusion)
ethnicity-skull
height- humerus and femur

34
Q

DNA

A

d- deoxyribose is the sugar
na-nucleic acid is the building blocks
double stranded helical molecule that makes up the chromosomes in cells’ nucleus
