Osteoblasts
 
Produce bones
4
Osteoclasts
 
Destroy bones
5
Pectoral Girdle
 
Scapula and clavicle.
6
Pelvic girdle
 
Lower limbs, sacrum, and hip bones, illium, ischium. Support trunk and move legs.
7
Axial skeleton
 
80 bones. Skull, facial bones, thoracic cage, sternum. 24 ribs. Vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx....
8
Appendicular skeleton
 
126 bones. Shoulders & hips. Pectoral/Pelvic girdgle. Scapula/clavicle. Upper/lower limbs....

Hip replaced
10
Hinge joints
 
Allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows.
11

Allows a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side. (ex:...
12
Ball and socket joint
 
Allows the greatest freedom of movement. Hips & shoulders is this type of joint in which...
13
Spongy bone
 
Lattice work of air spaces
14
Calcium ions
 
Needed for muscle contraction stored in sarcoplasmic reticulum.
15
Tendons
 
Muscle to bone. Muscles are attached to bones by tendons.

Ligament
 
Bone to bone
17
Synovial joint
 
Movable type of joint in the presence of fibrocartilage or hyaline that lines opposing bony...
18
Muscular system
 
Produces movement
19
3 kinds of muscles
 
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
20
Four traits in muscles
 
Provide strength, balance, posture, movement, and heat for body.
21
Muscle to bone
 
When a muscle contracts, it's insertion is pulled toward its origin. Insertion-movable end...
22
Antagonistic muscles
 
Muscle that opposes the action of another. A muscle that acts as the opposing force in contraction...
23
Troponin and tropomyosin
 
Two proteins that are part of the actin filament. Help regulate and control attachment of cross...
24
Actina nd Myosin
 
A protein that helps the muscle to contract or relax. Cross bridges: Heads are the end of myosin,...
25
Sacromere
 
Contractile unit of skeletal muscle. Gives the muscle the appearance of striations and controls...
26
First energy source
 
For muscle contraction of the molecular level, ATP stores. Can cause muscle fatigue if there...
27
Neurotransmitters
 
Compounds of acetylcholine stored at the ends of nerve fibers. It is relased into the gap between...
28
ATP
 
supplies the energy for muscle fiber contraction.
29
Creatine Phosphate
 
Stores energy that is used to make ATP.
30
Fast Twitch
 
Contract quickly, providing short bursts of energy used for high intensity, low endurance activities....
31
Slow Twitch
 
Steady, low intensity repetitive contraction. Do not tire easily. Found in skeletal muscle...
