Answer 2

Epidermis
Dermis
Hypodermis

Question 3

describe the epidermis

Answer 3

outermost layer of the skin
contains living and dead cells
deepest layer produces pigment

Question 4

describe the dermis layer

Answer 4

middle layer of the skin
made up of connective tissue = elasticity/strength
contains blood vessels;s, nerves, sweat/oil glands, hair follicles

Question 5

describe the hypodermis

Answer 5

bottom layer
made of fat (adipose) and connective tissue
controls body temperature

Question 6

what is the function of the skeletal system?

Answer 6

support
protect
assist in movement
storage of minerals
blood cell production
bone growth

Question 7

what important minerals are stored in the bones?

Answer 7

calcium and phosphate

Question 8

describe blood cell production

Answer 8

red/white blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow
found in flat bones/ends of long bones

Question 9

what are the classification of bones?

Answer 9

long
short
flat
irregular

Question 10

describe long bones

Answer 10

longer than wide
ex: femur/humerus

Question 11

describe short bones

Answer 11

allow movement
provide elasticity, flexibility, shock absorption
ex: bones of wrist/ankle

Question 12

describe flat bones

Answer 12

protect/provide attachment sites for muscles
ex: ribs, sternum, scapula

Question 13

describe irregular bones

Answer 13

support weight
dissipate loads
protect the spinal cord
contribute to movement
provide sites for muscle attachment
ex: skull, vertebrae

Answer 15

fibrous
cartilaginous
synovial

Question 16

describe fibrous joints

Answer 16

immovable joints
bones in close contact
ex: skull

Question 17

describe cartilaginous joints

Answer 17

slightly moveable joints
held together by cartilage/ligaments
ex: vertebrae

Question 18

describe synovial joints

Answer 18

freely movable joints
ex: knee and elbow

Question 19

what is the function of the muscular system?

Answer 19

produce body movement
stabilize joints
posture
heat production

Answer 20

voluntary
involuntary

Question 21

describe voluntary movement

Answer 21

conscious control

describe involuntary movement

Answer 22

not controlled consciously

Question 23

what are the types of muscle tissue

Answer 23

cardiac
skeletal
smooth

Question 24

describe cardiac muscle

Answer 24

found in the heart
involuntary muscles
pushes blood into arteries

Question 25

describe skeletal muscle

Answer 25

attached to bones by tendons
voluntary control

Question 26

describe smooth muscle

Answer 26

located in walls of hollow internal structures
involuntary muscles
move slowly/contracted for long times
helps push through digestive system
constricts/dilates blood vessels
NOT attached to bones
