Q

Why wouldn’t you find a Hydrostatic skeleton in the terrestrial animals that walk or run?

A

The hydrostatic skeleton is soft and flexible. We would not be able to stand for bones are soft. Therefore, we would not be able to walk or run

Q

Describe the movement of the earthworm

A

When the longitudinal muscles contract (bunch) The setae anchor to the ground. When the circular muscles contract (flatten) the setae lift off of the ground. The contraction of the muscles compresses the fluid, raising its pressure and moving the worm forward

Q

What is the advantage of having bones filled with spongy bone as opposed to compact bone?

A

Spongy bone makes the bones lighter

19
Q

Which tissue, bone or cartilage, do you think has a more effective system of nutrient delivery and removal of waste products?

A

Phone has a more effective system because it is more direct and can make blood. Whereas cartilage, has a diffusion process which is lower

20
Q

Why do fish have many ribs?

A

They have to be able to swim in a wavelike motion. It is also agile and protects their body

21
Q

Why can fish carry more muscle living in water than terrestrial vertebrates?

A

They have a lot of bones which allows them to have more muscle. They are more buoyant which allows them to be heavier

22
Q

Does a fish have four limbs?

A

Yes

23
Q

How do the attachments of the dorsal and caudal fin differ from that of the pelvic and pectoral fin?

A

The dorsal and caudal fins are fused to the vertebrae, meanwhile the pelvic and pectoral fin are attached to the girdle

24
Q

What kind of motion is produced when fish muscles contract in the sequence?

A

A wavelike motion

25
Q

What is the main force fish must overcome?

A

Friction

26
Q

Is the ilium attached to the frogs vertebral column?

A

Yes

27
Q

How is a lengthened and ilium adapted for frog locomotion?

A

It allows them to jump a farther distance, extend the legs further, and anything to do with hopping

28
Q

Which limbs are longer in the frog?

A

The hindlimbs

29
Q

What advantage does the fused radius and ulna offer in the frog?

A

It has more support for landing

30
Q

What is the most outstanding feature of the snake skeleton?

A

He has ribs all around his body which allows him to wrap around objects and move in the slithering motion

31
Q

What is the major difference between the skeleton of a snake, lizard, and turtle?

A

The snake only has ribs all throughout his body, the lizard has a vertebrae and limbs, and the turtles bones are fused with its shell such as it’s spine

32
Q

How does this difference affect locomotion between the snake lizard and turtle?

A

They all move differently. The snake moves in a slithering motion, the lizard crawls and can climb, the turtle crawls but slowly

33
Q

Are birds backbones rigid or flexible?

A

Rigid

34
Q

How are birds adapted for flight

A

Since there are many bones fused to the backbone it makes the bird sturdy for flight and not for walking

35
Q

Why is the sternum so large?

A

It helps aid in flight which helps the pectoral muscle move

36
Q

Is the disarticulated bird bone heavy or light?

A

Light

37
Q

How is the disarticulated bird bone adapted it for flight?

A

It helps overcome gravity

38
Q

Is the cats backbone rigid or flexible?

A

Flexible

39
Q

How does the backbone relate to its locomotion patterns?

A

It allows for easy fluid motion

40
Q

Why does a cat have a tail?

A

To balance

41
Q

Three specific skeletal adaptations that allows humans to be bipeds

A
  1. Larger legs relative to body support weight
  2. Enlarged heels at foot bear the amount of weight
  3. Vertebral column, without this we would always lean forward
42
Q

Describe the arrangement of muscles on the chicken wing

A

They completely cover the bone and are arranged in layers

43
Q

What happens when you pull on the tendons of the chicken wing?

A

It moves different sections of the wing. It extends the leg around the joint

44
Q

How does the movement of the chicken wing illustrate a lever system?

A

Because joints move one bone relative to the other
