Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Division of the skeletal system
Appendicular -coming off the body
Axial -trunk of the bones
Adaption of rabbits Skelton to help it hop
Longer hind limbs
Two musculoskeletal disorders
Hip dysplasia
Scurvy
Function of ligament
Connects bone to bone allows movement
Function of tendon
Connects bone to muscle to allow movement
Symptoms of hip dysplasia in dogs
Difficulty standing up
Pain
Internal structure of bones in mammals
Strong and dense
Blood production
Internal structure of bones in birds
Honeycomb structure
Lighter for flight
Four functions of skeletal system
Movement
Structure
Protection
Blood reproduction
Attach muscles
Three functions of integumentary system
Protection
Dispose waste
Reduces dehydration
Three types of joint
Synovial
Hinge
Ball and socket
Three layers of skin
Epidermis
Dermis
Subcutaneous layer
Differences between tendons and ligament
Tendons attach muscles to bone but ligaments attach bone to bone
Two glands in the structure of skin
Sebaceous/ oil gland
Sweat gland
Describe epidermis
Top layer and is waterproof
Describe dermis
Middle layer and contains hair follicles
Describe subcutaneous layer
Bottom layer and stores fat for insulin
Define haematopoiesis
Production of blood cells / blood production
Two types of skeletal joints
Ball and socket
Hinge
Two adaptions of structure of a bird so it can fly
Bones are hollow to reduce weight
Less bones so there lighter to fly
Two functions of feathers
Flight
Insulation
What do contour feathers do
Outside feathers that keep the body dry
What do flight feathers do
Support tail during flight
Down feathers
Provide insulation
Functions of integumentary system
Includes skin, hair, feathers etc
Skin is for protection
Include the three layer of skin
