Mucoskeletal system

• What is one of the main functions of the human body related to support?

  It serves as a structural framework by supporting soft tissues and providing attachment points for tendons.
• How does the human body provide protection to internal organs?

  It protects many internal organs from injury, such as the cranium protecting the brain.
• What role do skeletal muscles play in movement?

  Skeletal muscles attach to bones, and when they contract, they pull on bones to produce movement.
• What are some examples of bones in the human body?

  • Sternum
  • Cranium
  • Humerus
  • Radius
  • Carpals
  • Metacarpals
  • Ulna
  • Femur
  • Tibia
  • Fibula
  • Phalanges
  • Clavicle
  • Scapula
  • Patella
  • Pelvic girdle
  • Vertebral Column
  • Mandible

  
• What is the primary function of skeletal muscle?


  The function of skeletal muscle is to move the bones of the skeleton.
• How can movement produced by skeletal muscles be classified?

  Movement can be voluntary or subconscious.
• What type of muscle is skeletal muscle?

  Skeletal muscle is striated.
• How are skeletal muscles connected to bones?

  Skeletal muscles are connected to bones by tendons.
• What is the process by which muscles act to produce movement?

  Muscles act by contracting, which is an energy-consuming process.
• What happens during muscle relaxation?

  Muscle relaxation is a passive event that does not require energy.
• How do the biceps and triceps work together to allow movement?

  • Biceps contract while triceps relax to allow movement.
  • Triceps contract while biceps relax to allow movement.
• What are fused joints?

  Fused joints are joints that allow no movement.
• Can you give an example of fused joints in the human body?

  Examples include the joints holding the different bones of the cranium together and the joint between the two hip bones.
