Question
Answer
The ability of an organism to move from one place to another.   Locomotion.  
🗑
Two types of locomotion.   Sessile and motile.  
🗑
Sessile.   Stationary, remains in place. (Ex: plants, barnacles, corals)  
🗑
Motile.   Able to move. (Ex: humans, reptiles, amphibians)  
🗑
True or False: Sessile organisms have an advantage over motile organisms.   False, motile organisms have an advantage over sessile organisms.  
🗑
Advantages motile organisms have over sessile organisms.   They can obtain food, escape predators, can find mates and shelter.  
🗑
A skeleton made up of bone and cartilage located within the body's walls.   Endoskelton.  
🗑
Examples of organisms with an endoskelton.   Humans, birds, and whales.  
🗑
A skeleton found on the outside of the body enclosing the soft parts that helps with protection.   Exoskeleton.  
🗑
Examples of organisms that have an exoskeleton.   Beetles, crabs, and turtles.  
🗑
True or False: Bones are hard and inflexible.   True.  
🗑
Five function of bones.   Support and protect the body, points of attachment in muscles, produce blood cells in the marrow, act as a lever to produce movement, and storage site for minerals.  
🗑
Bones are composed of ________________ and _______________.   Calcium and phosphorus.  
🗑
A point in the skeleton where bones will meet.   Joint.  
🗑
Four types of joints.   Ball and socket, hinge, pivot, and gliding.  
🗑
Type of connective tissue in bone.   Collagen.  
🗑
Flexible, fibrous, and elastic tissue.   Cartilage.  
🗑
Function of cartilage.   Provides flexibility between joints, as well as cushioning against impact and pressure.  
🗑
A type of muscle that is made of cells that have the ability to contract and exert a pulling force.   Muscle tissue.  
🗑
Type of muscle with a striated appearance, voluntary. (Ex: triceps)   Skeletal muscle.  
🗑
True or False: Involuntary means under conscious control.   False, voluntary means under conscious control.  
🗑
Non-striated muscle that is involuntary.   Smooth muscle.  
🗑
____________ muscles make up the muscles of digestive organs, including the stomach lining and blood vessels.   Smooth.  
🗑
Muscles that are involuntary and striated.   Cardiac muscle.  
🗑
_____________ muscles make up the heart.   Cardiac.  
🗑
Tough, elastic, fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscle to bone.   Tendon.  
🗑
Tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bone to bone.   Ligament.  
🗑
Inflammation of joints.   Arthritis.  
🗑
Inflammation of tendons.   Tendinitis.  
🗑
Bones that have been moved from their normal position.   Dislocation.  
🗑
Injuries of the ligaments.   Sprain.  
🗑
Injuries of the muscle.   Strain.  
🗑
