Q

This is found in the end (or epiphysis)
of a long bone.

A

Spongy bone(is made of tiny plates called trabeculae; these plates serve as struts to give the spongy bone strength.)

Q

There are three types of muscle in animal bodies: .

A

smooth, skeletal, and
cardiac

17
Q

Smooth muscle tissue is also called BLANK as it lacks the banded appearance of skeletal and cardiac muscle.

A

non-striated

Q

The main cell of the nervous system is the

A

Neuron

19
Q

Projections from the cell body are either BLANK specialized in receiving input or a BLANK specialized in transmitting impulses.

A

Dendrites
Single Axon

20
Q

Blank regulate the chemical environment of the nerve cell, and Blank insulate the axon so the electrical nerve impulse is transferred
more efficiently.
