Structure And Function Of Body System Flashcards
The ________________ of the human body consists of bones, joints, muscles, and tendons configured to allow the great variety f movements characteristic of human activity.
Musculoskeletal System
Muscle can on _______________: but through the system of bony levers, muscle pulling forces can be manifested as either pulling or pushing forces against external Objects.
Pull, not push
The _________ consisted of the skull(cranium), vetebral column(C1 through the coccyx), ribs and sternum.
Axial Skeleton
The _______Includes the shoulder (or pectoral) girdle (left and right scapula and clavicle; bone of the arms, wrists, and hands (left and right humeru, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges); the pelvic girdle(left and right coral or innominate bones); and the bones of the legs, ankles and feet
Appendicular Skeleton
Junctions of the bones are called ____________
Joints
___________allow virtually no movement
___________ allow limited movement (intervebral discs)
___________ allow considerable movement (elbow and Knee)
Fibrous joints
Cartilaginous joints
Synovial joints
Articulating bone ends are covered with smooth ___________, and the entire joint is enclosed in a capsule filled with ____________.
Hyaline cartilage
Synovial Fluid
____________, such as the elbow, operate as hinges, essentially rotating about only one axis.
Uniaxial Joints
_________, such as the angle and wrist, allow movement about two perpendicular axes.
Biaxial joints
____________, including the shoulder and hip ball-and-socket joints, allow movement about all three perpendicular axes that define space.
Multiaxial Joints
the _____________ is made up of bones separated by flexible disks that allow movement to occur.
Vertebral column
__ cervical vertebrae
__thoracic Vertebrae
__ Lumbar vertebrae
__ sacral Vertebrae

Fibrous connective tissue, or ______________, covers the body’s more than 430 skeletal muscles
Epimysium
The ______ is attached to the bone periosteum, a specialized connective tissue covering all bones, any contraction of the muscle pulls on the tendon and, in turn, the bones.
Tendon
Limb muscles have two attachment to bone: ___________(closer to the trunk) and ___________ (further from the trunk)
Proximal
Distal
The two attachments of trunk muscles are termed ____________ (closer to the head) and ___________ (Closer to the feet)
Superior
Inferior
Muscle cells, often called ______________, are long (sometimes running the entire length of a muscle), cylindrical cells 50 to 100um in diameter (about the diameter of a human hair.
Muscle Fibers
Under the _____________ the muscle fibers are grouped in bundles (fasciculi) that consist of up to 150 fibers.
Epimysuim
The bundles of fasciculi are surrounded by connective tissue called _____________
Perimysium
Each muscle fiber is surrounded by connective tissue called _________
Endomysium
Endomysium is encircled by and is contiguous with the fibers membrane, or ______________
Saroclemma
A nerve cell is a what ?
Motor Neuron
The junction between a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates is call the motor end plate, or, more often, the ______________
Neuromuscular Junction
A mother neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates are called _________________
Motor unit
