Musculoskeletal, Nervous, and Sensory
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Bones | the rigid framework of the body providing support, protection, and blood cell production |
| Muscles | Tissues responsible for movement |
| Joints | Points where bones meet allowing movement |
| Tendons | Fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, enabling movement |
| Ligaments | Connect bone to bone, providing stability to joints |
| Cartilage | Elastic connective tissue found at bone ends and other structures like the nose, providing cushioning and flexibility |
| Joints | Points where bones meet, allowing movement. |
| Brain | an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity |
| Spinal Cord | the cylindrical bundle of nerve fibres and associated tissue which is enclosed in the spine and connects nearly all parts of the body to the brain, with which it forms the central nervous system. |
| Ganglia | a collection of neuronal cell bodies located outside the brain and spinal cord, forming part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) |
| Nerves | a whitish fibre or bundle of fibres in the body that transmits impulses of sensation to the brain or spinal cord, and impulses from these to the muscles and organs |
| Sensory Organs | Sensory organs are biological structures designed to perceive specific types of stimuli, such as light, sound, chemical molecules, or mechanical pressure, and convert them into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sensations like sight, hear |
| Ears | the organ of hearing and balance in humans and other vertebrates, especially the external part of this. |
| Eyes | each of a pair of globular organs of sight in the head of humans and vertebrate animals |
| Mouth | the opening and cavity in the lower part of the human face, surrounded by the lips, through which food is taken in and vocal sounds are emitted |
| Skin Receptors (cutaneous receptors) | specialized sensory receptors located in the skin that detect various environmental stimuli and convert them into electrical signals for the nervous system |
| Nose | the part projecting above the mouth on the face of a person or animal, containing the nostrils and used for breathing and smelling |
