| Appendages of skin | hair and nails composed of keratin |
| Body framework | bone, cartilage, ligaments, and joints |
| Function of Skeletal system | support, movement, blood cell formation, protection of internal organs, detoxification, provision for muscle attachment, and mineral storage (calcium and phosphorus) |
| Long bone | has irregular epiphysis at each end - composed of spongy (cancellous) bone shaft or diaphysis - composed of compact bone |
| Osteogenics | cells that become osteoblasts |
| Osteoblasts | cells that form compact bones |

| Appendicular Skeletal | girdles and limbs- pectoral or shoulder girdle, clavicle, scapula, and upper extremity bones of the arm pelvic girdle or os coxae- fused ilium, ischium, and pubis bones of legs |
| Muscles contraction | contract in response to nervous stimulation results from sliding together of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle cell or fiber Calcium and ATP must be present for muscle to contract |
| Muscle cells consist of | myofibrils |
| Myofibrils made up of | smaller units called sarcomeres |
| Prime mover | muscle that executes a given movement synergists work in cooperation |
| Antagonist | muscle that produces opposite movement |
| Flexors | reduce angle at joint |
| Extensors | increase angle |
| Abductors | draw limb away from midline |
| Adductors | draw limb towards midline |
| Temporalis muscle | side of head |
| Zygomaticus muscle | cheek |

| Two groups of hormones | steroid and non-steroid hormones |
| Steroid hormones | enter target cells and have a direct effect on the DNA of the nucleus |
| Non-steroid hormones | protein hormones |
| Protein hormones | remain at the cell surface and act through a second messenger- AMP affect cell activity by altering rate of protein synthesis |
| Pituitary gland | master gland at the base of the brain, right under the hypothalamus, and is considered the “master” gland because it affects other glands in the body |
| Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) | secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and acts on the kidney to preserve fluid and electrolyte balance by increasing water reabsorption |
| Luteinizing hormone (LH) | secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and occurs midway through the menstrual cycle, it triggers ovulation and creates the corpus luteum |
| Follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) | secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and helps eggs mature and causes the menstrual cycle to start in females at puberty. |
| Prolactin | secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and is responsible for milk production; lactation |
| Estrogen | produced in the sex organs and promotes growth and development in females |
| Testosterone | produced in the sex organs and promotes growth and development in males |
| Aldosterone | produced by the adrenal gland and increases reabsorption of sodium ions (and eventually water like ADH) from the nephron |
| Oxytocin | secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and triggers childbirth |
| Serotonin | main hormone for regulating mood and feelings of well-being |
| Pineal gland | situated right between the two brain hemispheres and produces the hormone melatonin which modulates sleep patterns |
| Adrenal gland | found on top of the kidney and secretes cortisol |
| Parathyroid gland | regulates the amount of calcium that flows into the blood and bones |
| Hypothalamus | organ in the brain that is responsible for keeping our body at homeostasis, it is considered the “command center’ of the brain” and is anatomically attached to the pituitary gland and therefore controls body temp., fatigue, hunger, and thirst. |
| Central nervous system | brain and spinal |
| Peripheral nervous system | cranial nerves and neurons in body |
| Main parts of a neuron | body, axon, and dendrites |
| Dendrites | transmit impulse towards the cell |
| Axon | transmit impulse away from cell |
| Sensory (afferent) neurons | transmit nerve impulses towards CNS |
| Motor (efferent) neurons | transmit nerve impulses away from CNS towards muscles, glands, and digestive organs |
| Parasympathetic system | rest and digest |
| Sympathetic system | fight or flight |
| Cerebellum | directs motor control (muscle coordination), balance, and equilibrium MUSCULAR COORDINATION |
| Cerebrum | assists with motor control and cognitive functions such as learning MOVEMENT AND SENSORY |
| Medulla oblongata | brain stem of the brain which connects the spinal cord to the brain; controls autonomic functions (parasympathetic, sympathetic) RESPIRATION AND HEART RATE |
| Olfactory nerve | sensory component for the sense of smell |
| Optic nerve | registers visual information |
| Vagus nerve | slows down the heart rate |
| Spinal cord length | 18 inches extends from base of skull (foramen magnum) to first or second lumbar (L1 or L2) |
| How many spinal nerves exit the spinal cord? | 31 pairs |
