quiz
change that is proportional
to change in linear dimension
Isometric
change that is not proportional.; comparable parts of different animals
do not usually differ proportionately
Allometric
Allometric changes are overcome by change in _________, __________, and ___________________
relative dimensions, structural materials, and design
body parts grow at different rates, reflecting mechanical constraints or changing needs
Ontogeny
The backward force on the ground is resolved into vertical and horizontal vectors
vector resolution of forces
a force
stress
deformation due to stress
strain
wall resists tension, fluid resists compression; makes up muscular processes
hydrostat
movement at one joint requires movement of others
Kinematic Chain
fulcrum lies between in-force and out-force
First order lever
Both forces applied on the same side of the fulcrum but in-force farthest from fulcrum
Second order lever
extracellular material, such as water, proteins, or carbohydrates, predominate over cellular components, including blood and adipose
Connective Tissue
extracellular material with high tensile strength, flexibility, and low elasticity
Collagen
extracellular material with high elasticity stretches easily, and recoils to normal length
Elastin
type of dense connective tissue; dermis, organ capsules
irregular
type of dense connective tissue; fibers in layers, unite bones at joints
ligaments
