🗑
The ___ in the middle of some bones is where blood cells are formed.   marrow  
🗑
Bones connect at ___   joints  
🗑
___, which hold bones together at joints, are flexible because they have less calcium   Ligaments

___, found in ears and noses, is a flexible elastic tissue made of collagen.   Cartilage  
🗑
___ joints, found in fingers, elbows, and knees, allow back-and-forth movement   Hinge  
🗑
The thumb, the only ___ joint in the body, allows a wider range of motion   saddle  
🗑
___-___-___ joints, such as in shoulders and hips, can rotate and move in every direction.   Ball-and-socket  
🗑
An ___ joint, such as in knuckles, is similar to a ball-and-socket but cannot move in as many directions   ellipsoid  
🗑
In a ___ joint, the cylindrical region of one bone fits into a ring-shaped structure ofanother joint.   pivot  
🗑
The joint between the first two neck ___ is a pivot joint.   vertebrae  
🗑
Two bones that connect at flat surfaces form a ___ joint, such as in ankles and wrists.   gliding  
🗑
An ___ joint holds two bones firmly together, allowing little or no movement.   immovable  
🗑
The ___ contains immovable joints.   skull  
🗑
The ___ system allows the body to move.   muscular  
🗑
Muscle tissue is made of bundles of long muscle cells called muscle ___.   fibers  
🗑
Muscle fibers contain bundles of tubes that contain muscle ___.   filaments  
🗑
When a muscle ___, the muscle filaments move closer to each other and the muscle shortens   contracts  
🗑
When a muscle ___, the muscle filaments move away from each other.   relaxes  
🗑
Muscles contract when they receive chemical signals from the ___ system   nervous  
🗑
Muscle cells contain more ___ than other cells to produce ___ needed forcontraction.   mitochondria, energy  
🗑
Muscles have a large network of ___ vessels that supplies them with oxygen for cellular ___.   blood, respiration  
🗑
Muscles can be either voluntary or ___.   involuntary  
🗑
A voluntary muscle, such as those in hands, arms, and legs, is one you can ___.   control  
🗑
An involuntary muscle, such as the heart or ___, works without you having to thinkabout it.   stomach  
🗑
Muscle cells form three types of muscle ___ in the human body.   tissue  
🗑
___ muscle tissue causes movement.   Skeletal  
🗑
Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the ___.   heart  
🗑
___ muscle tissue, found in internal organs such as your stomach and blood vessels, ___ contracts and relaxes.   Smooth, slowly  
🗑
The muscular system must interact with the skeletal system to produce ___.   movement  
🗑
___ connect bones to muscles and do not stretch as much as ligaments.   Tendons  
🗑
Tendons, ligaments, and cartilage are all ___ tissue.   connective  
🗑
The body moves through ___ and extension.   flexion  
🗑
In flexion, the bending of a limb ___ the angle between the bones of the limb.   decreases  
🗑
In ___, the limb straightens and increases the angle between bones of the limb.   extension  
🗑
The ___ system works to move the body.   musculoskeletal  
🗑
A ___ is a simple machine made of anything rigid that pivots around a fixed point.   lever  
🗑
The ___ is the fixed point around which a lever pivots.   fulcrum  
🗑
The ancient Greek mathematician ___ (287-212 B.C.) first described levers.   Archimedes  
🗑
Three ___ of levers are determined by location of the fulcrum, load, and applied force.   classes  
🗑
___ force is the force needed to move an object over a distance.   Effort  
🗑
___ force is the force that opposes the effort force.   Resistance  
🗑
The ___ the effort force is to the fulcrum, the more effort force it will take to use the lever.   closer  
🗑
The closer the resistance force is to the fulcrum, the ___ resistance force it will take.   less  
🗑
In a ___-___ lever, the resistance force and the effort force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum. A ___-___, pliers, and scissors are examples of these.   first-class, see-saw  
🗑
In a second-class lever, the ___ force is between the fulcrum and the effort force. ___ ___ are examples of these.   resistance, Wheel barrows  
🗑
In a third-class lever, the effort force is between the resistance force and the ___. ___ ___, shovels, and rakes are examples of these.   fulcrum, Baseball bats  
🗑
Although ___-___ levers require more effort force, they are the most common levers in the body.   third-class  
🗑
First- and second-class levers could perform the same task using ___ force.   less  
🗑
___-___ levers make a much better arrangement for muscle attachment.   Third-class  
🗑
In biceps, a ___-___ lever would require a counter-balance if the pivot point was theelbow.   first-class  
🗑
In biceps, a second-class lever would require that muscles attach at the ___ if the pivot point was the elbow.   fingers  
🗑
___ are used to lift heavy objects or to move objects faster and farther.   Levers  
🗑
___ ___ is the ability of a machine to increase the amount of force put into the machine.   Mechanical advantage  
🗑
Mathematically, mechanical advantage (MA) is the ___ of the resistance force (FR) to theeffort force (FE).   ratio  
🗑
First- and second-class levers, such as see-saws and car jacks, make it easier to ___ heavy objects.   lift  
🗑
Third-class levers, such as baseball bats, make it easier to move objects ___ and faster.   farther  
🗑

🗑
In our bodies, multiple bones and joints act as levers and fulcrums, and muscles provide___.   force  
🗑
___ in your legs and arms allow you to move farther and faster.   Levers  
🗑
The ___ of levers in the body affects body strength.   length  
🗑
In activities such as arm wrestling or gymnastics, ___ men and women have a natural advantage because the effort force and resistance force are closer together.   shorter
