Integumentary, Skeletal & Muscular systems
Question | Answer |
---|---|
skeletal muscles | Voluntary muscles attached to bones and provide the force needed to move the bones |
tendons | connect the skeletal muscles to bones |
smooth muscles | Involuntary muscles that control many types of movement within the body |
cardiac muscles | Involuntary muscle that forms the heart |
functions of the skeletal system | Provide shape and support for the body and protection for many organs and structures; some bones produce blood cells; some store minerals; provides muscles a place to attach |
joints | occur where two or more bones meet |
ligaments | attach bones at the joints |
functions of the integumentary system | Covers the body and prevents the loss of water; it protects the body from infection and injury; it helps to regulate body temperature, get rid of wastes (sweat), receive information from the environment and produce vitamin D. |
bones | the organs of the skeletal system |
skin | the organ of the integumentary system |
muscular system | contains organs that contract to move bones or other organs |
3 types of muscles | smooth, skeletal & cardiac |
skeletal muscles provide ________ to move bones | force |
tire quickly during exercise | skeletal muscles |
muscle type responsible for movement within the digestive system | smooth muscle |
produced by the skin | vitamin D |
allow the skin to gather information about the environment | nerve endings |
sweat glands help to | regulate body temp & excrete wastes |
vertebrae | bones that protect the spinal cord |
allows the body to bend and move | joints |
ligaments connect ____ to ____ | bone to bone |
produce red blood cells | bones |
examples of involuntary muscles | cardiac & smooth |
breathing is controlled by ______ muscle | smooth |
organ system | the level of organization within the body that is most complex |
levels of organization from most simple to most complex | cells, tissues, organ, organ system |
cells | basic unit of structure & function within the human body |
4 types of tissues | muscle, epithelial, connective, and nervous |
skin is an example of _______ tissue | epithelial |
ligaments & tendons are examples of _____ tissue | connective |
_____ tissue can contract or shorten | muscle |
organ | a group of different tissues working together to perform a function |
