Name the major appendicular muscles and describe their primary function.

the deltoid (shoulder abduction), biceps brachii (forearm flexion), triceps brachii (forearm extension), quadriceps (knee extension), and hamstrings (knee flexion). They allow movement of the limbs.

What is posture and why is it important for the body?

Posture is the position in which the body holds itself while standing, sitting, or lying. Proper posture reduces stress on muscles and joints and supports efficient body function.

List three connective tissue elements found in skeletal muscle

Endomysium (around single muscle fibers), perimysium (around fascicles), and epimysium (around entire muscle).

Identify the five types of neuroglia and where they are located.

Astrocytes (CNS), oligodendrocytes (CNS), microglia (CNS), ependymal cells (CNS), Schwann cells (PNS).

Name the six major divisions of the brain.

Cerebrum, cerebellum, diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata.

What is the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and what are its two major subdivisions?

The ANS is the division of the nervous system that controls involuntary body functions. Its two major subdivisions are the sympathetic system (fight or flight) and the parasympathetic system (rest and digest).

What are the main types of sensory receptors and what do they detect?

Mechanoreceptors (touch/pressure), thermoreceptors (temperature), nociceptors (pain), photoreceptors (light), chemoreceptors (chemicals), proprioceptors (position).

What are the main components of the heart’s internal anatomy?

Atria, ventricles, valves (tricuspid, bicuspid/mitral, pulmonary, aortic), septa, and chordae tendineae.
