| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do Muscles do | They are composed of contractile cells or fibers.They provide movement,contribute to posture,produce body heat& act as a protective covering for internal organs. |
| What does Fleshy attachment mean | Muscle fibers arise directly from bone. These fibers distribute force over wide areas, but are weaker than a fibrous attachment. |
| What is a fibrous attachment | Connective tissue that converges at the end of the muscle to become continuous&distinguishable from the periosteum. |
| What is it called when connective tissue fibers form a cord or strap | a Tendon |
| What is a ligament | A flexible band of fibrous tissue that is highly adapted for resisting strains. A principal mechanical factor that holds bones close together in a synovial joint. |
| Bones serve as a what | A storehouse for minerals, particularly phosphorus & calcium. |
| Somewhat cube shaped, consist of a core spongy bone | Short bones or Cancellous bone (Ex. ankle bones,wrists, and toes) |
| Bones that cannot be classified as short or long bones because of their complex shapes | Irregular bones. (Ex. vertebrae & the bones of the middle ear) |
| Bones that provide broad surfaces for musclar attachment or protection for internal organs | Flat bones. (Ex. Bones of the Skull, Should blades, & Sternum) |
| Found in the appendages(Extremities) of the body, such as legs, arms, & fingers | Long bones.(Parts of the long bones);Diaphysis,the shaft or long main portion which consists of 2compact bones surrounding the medullary cavity.Distal&proximal epiphysis are the 2ends of the bones covered w.articular cartilage&a spongy bone chamber.P |
| Found in the appendages continued.. | Periosteum is a dense, white, fibrous membrane that covers the remaining surface of the bone. |
| The skeletal system of a human adult consists of how many individual bones | 206. |
| What is the Axial Skeleton divided into | 3 major regions; Skull, Rib Cage & Vertebral Column. Provides protection for internal organs. |
