skeletal systemäň Flashcards
functions
-movement,stability of the body
-maintains a specific shape of an organism
-protection of internal organs
-supportive framework of th body
hydroskeleton
flexible skelton supported by fluid pressure
-earthworm,jellyfishstarfish
exoskeleton
-the stable outer shell of an organism
-invertebrates
-arthropods-chitin
-molluscs-calcium carbonate
-Arthropods must periodically shred the exoskeleton (their organism doesn’t grow w them )
endoskeleton
-forms the support structure inside the body
-vertebrates
-consists of hard, mineralized structures
cytoskeleton
skeleton of a cell
main purpose-maintain shape,protection
skeleton consists of:
skull
chest = thorax
vertebral column = spine
extremities
phylogenesis invertbrates
a body cavity- the coelom filled with -coelomic fluid
phylogenesis vertebrates
the main skeletal component -bone
another important component is -cartilage
mammals – mainly in the joint areas
the sharks – the skeleton is composed entirely of cartilage
