Assignment: BIO125 Phase 2 Lab Report—The Muscular and Skeletal Systems
INSTRUCTIONS: In this lab, you will be examining the structures and functions of the skeletal and muscular systems through Mr. Skeleton and Muscle Man. As you navigate your way through the systems, identify various parts by the corresponding letters.
Part 1: Identify and list the names of the 4 types of bones in the lab. Each group of bones shown represents one of the 4 major types. Do not list the names of bones.
A. Long bones
B. Sesamoid bones
C. Flat bones
D. Irregular bones
Part 2: Identify the individual bones that are found in the skeletal system. As you navigate a specific bone will be highlighted. Please name each bone.
F. Femur
G. Rib cage
H. Scapula
I. Cranium
J. Sternum
K. Ilium
Part 3: Identify the type of joint being used by Mr. Skeleton. Look at and identify the highlighted area of joints being used.
L. Hip and knee joints
M. Hinge joint
N. Pivot
O. Plane joint
Part 4: Identify the types of muscle groups on Muscle Man (e.g., facial, lower extremity, torso, upper extremity).
P. Facial, head, neck, upper extremity
Q. Hip muscles, Lower extremity,
R. Chest, back, torso muscles, upper extremity
S. Arm and shoulder muscles, upper extremity
Part 5: Identify the type of muscle tissue on your lab report worksheet (skeletal, smooth, or cardiac). Bones and muscles are both important in their own right, but it is when the two systems work together that “the magic happens”.
T. Skeletal muscle
Identify this tissue.
U. Tendons
What is its function? Connects muscle to the bone and works with muscle to exert a pulling force.
What is a body tissue? A group of special & similar cells that work together to perform certain duties.
What type of tissue is bone? Connective tissue
What type of tissue is adipose (fat) tissue? Connective tissue
What structure is made up of 2 or more tissues working
