Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Compact bone | Hard and dense bone tissue that is underneath the outer membrane |
| Marrow | Soft, connective tissue that fills the inside of bones (red and yellow) |
| Cartilage | Connective tissue that is flexible, protects the ends of bones to keep them from breaking |
| Osteoporosis | Condition resulting from a loss of minerals which causes bones to become weak and break easily |
| Involuntary muscle | Muscle that is not under voluntary control |
| Voluntary muscle | Muscle that is under control conscious control |
| Skeletal muscle | Muscle that is attached to bones, provides force that moves the bones, striated |
| Smooth muscle | Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs |
| Cardiac muscle | Involuntary muscle found only in the heart |
| Striated | Banded (found in skeletal and cardiac muscle) |
| Epidermis | Outer layer of the skin |
| Dermis | Inner layer of the skin |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that performs the same function |
| Muscle tissue | Body tissue that contracts, or shortens, causing movement |
| Nervous tissue | Body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and body |
| Connective tissue | Body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts |
| Epithelial tissue | Body tissue that covers the interior and exterior surfaces of the body |
| Organ | Body structures that is made of different types tissue that work together for a specific function |
| Organ system | A group of organs that works together, performing major functions |
| Vertebrae | Bones that make up the backbone of an organism |
| Joint | Places where two bones meet |
| Ligament | Strong connective tissue that holds bones together |
| Tendon | Strong connective tissue that attaches Muscle to bone |
| Spongy bone | Layer of bone underneath compact bone that has many small spaces |
| 5 major functions of skeleton | Protects and shapes, enables you to move, protects organs, produces blood cells, stores minerals and other materials |
| Bones | Stores minerals such ad calcium |
| Immovable joints | Connects bones but allow little or now movement |
| Moveable joints | Moveable, allow the body to make different movements |
| Levels of organization in the human body | Cells, tissues, organs, organs systems, organism |
| 4 types of muscles | Muscle, nervous, connective and epithelial |
| Cells can | Grow, reproduce, and get rid of waste |
| Red marrow | Fills the spaces in some of your spongy bone (produces most of your red blood cells) |
| Yellow marrowg | Found in a space in the middle of the bones (stores fat) |
| Ball and socket | Allows greatest range of motion (hip) |
| Hinge joint | Allows forward and backward motion (knee) |
| Gliding joint | Allows one bone to slide over another (wrist) |
| Pivot joint | Allows one bone to rotate around another (arm at elbow) |
| Muscles can be: | Voluntary or involuntary |
| Voluntary muscles include: | Skeletal |
| Involuntary muscles include: | Cardiac and smooth |
| Characteristics of skeletal | Voluntary Reacts and tires easily Injuries easily Striated |
| Characteristics of smooth muscle | Involuntary Reacts and tires slowly Not striated |
| Characteristics of cardiac muscle | Involuntary Reacts quickly Never tires Consistent Striated |
| Skeletal muscle found in: | Biceps and quadricep |
| Smooth muscle found in: | Intestine and stomach |
| Cardiac muscle found in: | Heart |
| Three types of muscles | Smooth Cardiac Skeletal |
| How do skeletal muscles work in pairs | One muscle contracts while the other muscle in the pair relaxes and returns to its orginal length |
