Irritability, Nervous, Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Eye membrane ×3
Sclera - tough - protects + attach muscles
Chloroid - bkack pigments - no reflection - blood vessels
Retina - photoreceptors - detect light
Structures of Eye related to refraction
Most refraction:
Cornea
Fine focusing:
Lens
Others:
Aqueous Humour
Vitreous Humour
Image form characteristic
Real
Upside down
Vertically + laterally inverted
Smaller
Process of forming image
Refraction Image form Photoreceptor sense light Nerve impulse send to brain visual centre Brain interprets - upright image
Bones structure
Compact bone - dense and strong - support Spongy bone - porous - absorb shock Yellow bone marrow Red bone marrow Blood vessels
Living cells
Minerals
Protein
Cartilages
Structure
Use
Living cells
Less minerals
Softer
More elastic
Reduce friction Give shape (eg pinna)
Function of Skeleton ×5
Protect organs Movement - muscke attachment Support body weight Produce red blood cells Store minerals -Ca P
Skull
Importance
Protect brain
Protect sense organs
Vertebral column
Structure
Importance ×5
Vertebra
Intervertebral disc in between - cartilage
S shaped
Support body weight Bending Protects spinal cord Muscle attachment Shock absorber
Rib cage
Importance ×2
Protect heart and lung
Breathing movements
Movable joints
Structure
Ligament - prevent dislocation - elastic
Fibrous capsule
Synovial membrane -secretes synovial fluid
Synovial fluid - reduce friction - nourish cartilage
Cartilage
Movable joints
Types
Examples
Description
Hinge joint:
Elbow
Knee
- moves in one plane
Ball-and-socket joint:
Shoulder
Hip
- moves in many planes
Skeletal muscles structure
Muscle fibre = one cell
Many nuclei in one cell
Many fibre - Wraped in connective tissue
A bundle
Connectwd to bone by Tendon
Tendon inelastic tough
Muscle contraction to movement process
Muscle contract
Inelastic tendon connecting two bones
Transmit pulling force
Bones moves
Opposing muscles
Flexor - bends limb - eg bicep
Extensor - straighten limb - eg tricep
