Lecture 12-14

QuestionAnswer
Lect. 11: 3 basic types of skeletal systems in the animal kingdom: 1. Hydrostatic 2. Exoskeleton 3. Endoskeleton
Lect. 11: Hydrostatic skeleton (Earthworms) -Earthworms and sea anemones have a hydrostatic skeleton. -Circular muscles squeeze the body. -Longitudinal muscles shorten the body.
Lect. 11: Exoskeleton Arthropods: (insects, spiders, etc) -Arthropods (insects, spiders, etc) have an external skeleton made of chitin (a carbohydrate). -Muscles attach to the exoskeleton, which is flexible at the joints.
Lect. 11: Endoskeleton (Skeletal System) -Vertebrates have an endoskeleton made of cartilage or bone. -Bone and cartilage are living tissue (connective tissue). -
Lect. 11: How do these actions produce motion in the earthworm? Earthworms using circular and longitudinal muscles, as well as bristles called setae.
Lect. 11: What are some advantages an exoskeleton? Advantages- it protects its internal organs, protects it from predators, keeps the animal from drying out, and attaches to the animal's muscles to aid in movement
Lect. 11: What are some disadvantages an exoskeleton? Disadvantages- is that the process of molting leaves the animal vulnerable for some time after.
Lect. 11: What are some advantages of an endoskeleton? Advantages- allow for faster movement than exoskeletons but the muscles are less flexible than an animal with a hydrostatic skeleton
Lect. 11: What are some disadvantages of an endoskeleton? Disadvantages- does not provide the same level of protection to the body as an exoskeleton does.
Lect. 11: What are some differences between an exoskeleton vs endoskeleton? A. Provides external protection B. Must be shed for growth. C. Becomes heavy if it is too large. D. Storage of minerals.
Lect. 11: What is an advantage of an endoskeleton over an exoskeleton? - Provides external protection. - Protection for internal organs. - Grows as the organism grows. - Provides a point of attachment for muscles. - Made of protein.
Lect. 11: Functions of the endoskeleton - Support and protection for the body. - Locomotion (in concert with muscles). - Produce blood cells in bone marrow. - Store calcium and phosphorous. - Store energy in yellow marrow

Lect. 11: why do broken bones take so much longer to heal than cuts in the skin? the periosteum , large blood clots, compact bone, and spongy bone are facture, so bone in the body is trying replace new blood vessels and cartilage to fill in the clot with bony callus to complete the healing process.
