A

Beneath the compact bone. Lightweight, but strong.

23
Q

What is Bone Marrow?

A

Fills the gaps between spongy bone.

24
Q

What does red bone marrow do?

A

Produces most of the body’s blood cells.

25
Q

What does yellow bone marrow do?

A

Stores fat that serves as an energy reserve.

26
Q

What are epiphyses?

A

The rounded end of a long bone. It forms joints with adjacent bones.

27
Q

What is the role of the musculoskeletal system?

A

Providing the body with structure and movement.

28

A

Used for sterilising medical equipment and food, and detection and treatment of some cancers.

29
Q

What are x-rays?

Examples

Give examples

A

Used for sterilising water and killing bacteria.

31
Q

What is visible light?

Give examples

A

Used for lighting, photography, and fibre optic communications.

32

Used for satellite communications and cooking food.

34
Q

What are radio waves?

Give examples

A

Used for radio and TV broadcasting and satellite communications.

35
Q

What is the electromagnetic spectrum made up of (smallest wave to biggest wave)

A

Gamma-ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, radio wave.

36
Q

What is the difference between x-rays and visible light?

A

X-rays have a higher energy than visible light and they can pass through most objects, including the body.

37
Q

Describe three common uses of medical x-rays for diagnostic purposes.

A

x-ray radiography (detecting bone fractures and foreign objects), mammography (for cancer detection and diagnosis) and CT (more detailed radiographs).

38
Q

What is the Epidermis?

A

Outside layer of skin that protects our bodies; is made of dying cells.

39
Q

What is the Dermis?

A

Below the epidermis, has hair follicles, sweat glands and blood cells.

40
Q

What is Subcutaneous Fat?

A

The bottom layer of skin, keeps the body warm and absorbs shock.

41
Q

What do they do?

How do glands help the integumentary system?

A

By releasing sweat, releasing oils, protecting hair and producing wax (earwax).

42
Q

How does the integumentary system keep the body safe?

Function

A

Eliminates waste, regulates body temperature and produces vitamin D.

43
Q

What are the parts of the integumentary system?

A

Skin, nails, hair, sweat and oil glands.

44
Q

What are the four types of tissue?

A

Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nervous.

45
Q

What is Epithelial Tissue?

A

Covers all body surfaces.

46
Q

What is Connective Tissue?

A

Binds structures together; provides support and protection to the skin.

47
Q

What is skeletal muscle?

Describe function and appearance

A

Is elastic and works in pairs. Are striated (have horizontal/parallel markings)

48
Q

Where is smooth muscle found?

A

Lines hollow organs (intestines, stomach, uterus).

49
Q

What is cardiac muscle?

Sizing and markings

A

Striated (has parallel markings) but shorter and smaller.

50
Q

What is Peristeum?

A

The membrane that covers the outside of the bone.
