Module 6: THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM Flashcards
What is muscular and skeletal systems
provide support to the body and allow for a wide range of movement.
It protect the body’s internal organs and support the weight of the body
bones of the skeletal system
It contract and pull on the bones, allowing for movements as diverse as standing, walking, running, and grasping items.

three different skeleton designs
hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.
What is hydrostatic skeleton
a skeleton formed by a fluid-filled compartment within the body, called the coelom.
It is supported by the aqueous fluid, which also resists external compression.
organs of the coelem
Where is hydrostatic skeleton found
soft-bodied animals such as sea anemones, earthworms, Cnidaria, and other invertebrates
It contract to change the shape of the coelom
The muscles in a hydrostatic skeleton
It produces movement
