Bones and Muscles HT

Mrs. Hammer science - 7th grade Bones and Muscles

QuestionAnswer
Name the 5 functions of the skeletal system. 1.Supports Body 2.Provides Movement 3.Protects internal organs 4.Provides site for protection of RBC & WBC 5.Stores important materials
How many bones are in the skeleton 206
What two parts are the skeleton divided into? Axial skeleton and Appendicular skeleton

Is spongy bone soft? NO!!! It is not spongy or soft, it is actually very strong. It adds strength without adding mass.
Which of the three kinds of bone cells is involved in reabsorption of bone? Osteoclasts. Also involved in canal formation
Which bone cell are mature and embedded throughout bone? Osteocytes
Which bone cell builds new bone cells? Osteoblasts.
What are hollow cavities in long bones filled with? Bone marrow
What are the two types of bone marrow? Red and yellow.
Which type of bone marrow produces RBC, WBC and platelets? Red marrow
Which type of bone marrow is mostly flat? Yellow marrow
What is the skeleton of an embryo made entirely of? Cartilage
What are the protein fibers that cartilage is made of? Collagen and elastin
What kind of blood vessels does cartilage contain? Trick question. Cartilage has nerve endings, but no blood vessels.
Without blood vessels, how is cartilage fed? Through diffusion of nutrients from capillaries in surrounding tissues.
What is the process of cartilage changing to bone called? Ossification
What bone cells are involved in the ossification process? Osteoblasts
What is cartilage replaced with during ossification? Mineral deposits of calcium and phosphorus
What do osteoblasts become when they are surrounded by mature bone tissue? Osteocytes
Where are growth plates located? At ends of long bones where secondary ossification occurs.
What do growth plates do? Cause bone to lengthen and get stronger.
What acts as cushion between bones? Cartilage
Where are some of the places cartilage is located? Rib cage (allows it to expand during deep breaths), ends of nose and on ear.
What is the cartilage at the ends of large bones? Articular cartilage
How many bones are in the skull? 22
How many bones in the vertebrae? 33
How many fused bones in the sacrum? 5
How many fused bones are in the coccyx? 4
Where is the pelvis fused to the sacrum? Sacro-illiac joint
What is the area containing ribs from cervical vertebrae to the lumbar vertebrae? Thorax
How many pairs of ribs? 12
How many pairs of ribs are joined directly to the sternum? 7
How many pairs of ribs are joined through 1 strand of cartilage? 3
How many pairs of ribs are floating ribs? 2
The inter-pubic joint is the joint in the front of what? Pelvis
How many categories of bones are there? 5
This category of bone is thin in structure and shape. Usually provide muscle attachments (ribs, sternum, scapula) Flat Bones
These bones are approximately cubed shaped and equal in size. (Carpals and tarsals) Short Bones
Bones that come in a variety of shapes that correspond with function. (Face bones) Irregular Bones
Bones that have greater length and width than others. (Femur, Humerus, Tibia...) Long Bones
Bones that form in areas of stress. Boney structure where tendons attach. (Patella) Seasmoid Bones
The place where bones meet. Joint
Every bone in the body will connect to another bone except this one... Hyoid bone that supports the tongue
How are joints classified? Depending on range of movements
What are the three joint classifications? Immovable (fixed), Slightly movable, and freely movable
Cranium bones are fused together, what is the name of this joint? Sutural joint
These joints permit small, restricted movement Slightly Movable joints (Pivot joint and Saddle Joint)
The joints permit movement in one or more directions. Freely Movable joints
What are the two types of freely movable joints? Ball and socket..and Hinge joints
Which joint permits movement in many directions? Ball and socket joint (shoulder and hip)
Which joint permits back and forth motion? Hinge joint (knee, elbow, fingers, toes)
Which joint allows one bone to slightly rotate around another? Pivot Joint (ulna & radius, tibia & fibula)
Which type of joint allows one bone to slide over another in two directions? Saddle joint (vertebrae, carpals & tarsals)
What is the two layers of fibrous tissue that surrounds a joint called? Joint Capsule
The outermost layer of a joint capsule is the...? Ligament
What do ligaments do? Hold bones together
What fluid lubricates articular cartilage to m ake movement easier? Synovial joint fluid
In larger joints, synovial fluid is in sacs called...? Bursa sacs
Are teeth part of the skeletal system? You betcha
What is the outer-covering of teeth called? Is it living? Enamel. No
Below the enamel is what? Dentin
Where is the root contained? Pulp
What percent of body mass do muscles comprise? 40%
What are the 3 types of muscles? Smooth, cardiac and skeletal (or striated)
Which type of muscle would be found in your stomach or intestines? Smooth muscle
Are smooth muscles voluntary or involuntary? Involuntary
Can smooth muscles function without nervous stimulation? You betcha!
What do smooth muscles have between them that allow impulses to travel from 1 cell to another? Gap junctions
What word best describes how smooth muscles react and tire? SLOWLY!!!
What type muscle is ONLY found in the heart?? Cardiac muscle
Do cardiac muscles share characteristics of striated or smooth muscles? Both, but more striated.
Are cardiac muscles voluntary or involuntary? They gotta be involuntary, or you'd be dead!
Do cardiac muscles get tired? No way...heart muscle cannot get tired!!
Skeletal muscles are attached to what? Uh...hello! Bones!
Are they voluntary or involuntary? Totally voluntary!
Are they in striations? Yes
What do skeletal muscles consist of? 1. Muscle fibers2. Blood vessels3. Nerves4. Connective Tissue5. Tendons
Are skeletal muscles in pair or solo? In pairs. Think biceps and triceps. They are called bilateral muscles
How many pairs of skeletal muscles are there? 320 pairs! 640 muscles!
Each individual strand of striated muscles is called what? Myofibril
Each myofibril is made of 2 proteins called what? Actin and myosin!
What happens in the myofibril when muscles contract? Myosin works from the middle to pull the actin ends closer together.
The middle part of the myofibril is called the.... sacramere
Impulses from ____________ control contraction of skeletal muscles. Neurons
The point of contact between neuron and muscle cells is called... Neuro-muscular juntion
Where do neuron impulses enter the nerve cells? Axon terminals
What is released into the axon when an impulse comes in? Acetylcholine
What does the acetylcholine do? Allows the impulse to move through the neuron
The space between the dendrite and the muscle is called the what? Synapse
As the impulse jumps across the synapse, what is released causing interaction between the myosin and actin? Calcium
What connects muscles to bones? Tendons
Muscles are composed of what? Muscle Bundles
What are groups of myofibril that are surrounded by connective tissue? Muscle Bundles
Each muscle bundle is connected to each bone with what at each end? Tendons
When one muscle of a bilateral muscle contracts, what does the other muscle do? Relax!
Tendons work like what? Levers
Repeated stimulus to muscles causes production of what? Lactic acid
Stimulus in absence of oxygen cause muscle what? Soreness
What movement happens when an angle between 2 bones decrease? Flexion
What movement happens when an angle between 2 bones increases? Extension
What movement happens when there is movement towards the mid-line? Adduction
What movement happens when movement is away from the mid-line? Abduction
What movement happens when there is movement around the invisible longitudinal axis? Rotation
What movement happens when your palms are up? Supination
