The brain, eyes, heart, lungs and spinal cord are all protected by your skeleton. Your cranium skull protects your brain and eyes, the ribs protect your heart and lungs and your vertebrae spine, backbones protect your spinal cord. Bones provide the structure for muscles to attach so that our bodies are able to move. Tendons are tough inelastic bands that hold attach muscle to bone. There are many differences between the male and female human skeletons.
A tendon is tissue that connects muscles to bones. It is the muscles job to move the skeletal structure of the body. When a muscle contracts it creates a pulling motion. It is the connection of the tendon that acts as an elastic band, this allowes a contraction to move the bones. What is a ligament made of?
Flat bones provide protection for the internal organs including the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. The flat bone is made up of two layers of compact bone with a layer of spongy bone in the middle. 3) The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis of the long bones which is found between the epiphysis and diaphysis. The epiphyseal plate is made up of hyaline cartilage. The cartilage makes it possible for the diaphysis to grow in length, thus the epiphyseal plate is also known as the growth plate.
The basic construction techniques of the Romans must be better than those of modern practice as judged by comparing the products. Concrete permitted architects to cover vast spaces, allowing the construction of great amphitheaters and baths. Roman architects molded arches, vaults, and even domes from concrete, faced with bricks for added strength and decorated with an exterior layer of marble or stucco.
Describe the structure and development of bone and the factors that influence it. Bone is living tissue that makes up the body's skeleton. The bone consists of blood vessels, nerve cells and living bone cells. Bones are made up of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and other minerals, as well as the protein collagen. Calcium is needed to make bones hard, which allows them to support your weight.
The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells,, protein fibers, and minerals. The skeleton provides support and protection for the soft tissues that make up the rest of the body. The skeletal system also provides attachment points for the rest of the body allowing movement. The skull is composed of 22 bones that aid in the support and movement, and protection of the brain.
[TYPE THE COMPANY NAME] DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THREE MUSCLE TYPES SKELETOL, SMOOTH AND CARDIAC MUSCLE ... GAOLATLHE THABISO KWENAMORE 24 SEPTEMBER 201101827 BIO 231 INTRODUCTION Muscles are multicellular contractile units. They are divided into three types which are skeletal muscle, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle and classification is done according to their structure, location and their function (Tortora and Derrickson,2011). Skeletal muscle is mainly responsible for the movement of the skeleton, but is also found in organs such as the globe of the eye and the tongue. It is a voluntary muscle, and therefore under conscious control, skeletal muscle is specialized for rapid and forceful contraction of short duration (Bevan et al,1996). In describing the cellular components of skeletal muscle, several specialized terms are used such as the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle is called the sarcolemma; its cytoplasm is known as sarcoplasm; the endoplasmic reticulum is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
This article provides the details of how bones really heal themselves within the body, and all the different terms for each process. Discussion: I will discuss the details the article provides for each function and process the bone goes through. The main function of bones is to create structure for the body but also the body stores minerals in the compact bone. The red marrow is also used to produce red blood cells and the yellow marrow is used to store fat. Your bones never stop growing or changing, and the three primary cells used in the bone growth process are osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and chondroblasts.
The articular capsule has two layers: -Fibrous capsule: the outer layer - Synovial membrane: the inner layer that secretes synovial fluid which lubricates to reduce friction. The surface of the knee joint, the patella lies within the joint capsule and has an important function which is to reduce friction during extension and to protect the knee joint. The muscles that facilitate the movement of the synovial joints are skeletal muscles. The muscles that move the knee joint are called quadriceps and hamstring. When the agonist which is the contracting muscle which, in this case is the quadriceps, it allows flexion of the knee joint while the antagonist which will be the hamstring, is the relaxed
The human body has 206 bones which are organized in the skeleton. It functions as a protection of vital organs, forms the framework of the body, and supports vital body functions, such as physical movement, as well as communication. The skull encases the soft tissue in the human brain, the rib cage and sternum, shield the heart and lungs from the surrounding environment, and the pelvis safely houses our internal organs. Humans have an endoskeleton which is inside the body, and is split into two main divisions, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones and comprises the skull (facial bones and cranial bones), hyoid bone, , vertebral column, auditory ossicles and the thorax (the sternum and the rib bones form the thorax).
