Cartilage and bone are both stiff connective tissues which form an essential structural component of the body of animal organisms‚ including human beings. However‚ they are also quite different in both composition and function. Bones are extremely hard‚ dense tissue which provide a supportive frame for the body ‚ as well as serving as production and storage centers for cells and minerals‚ whereas cartilage is a more flexible tissue found in more specific locations of the body‚ essentially midway

Pivot joint: A rounded portion of a bone is enclosed within a ring formed partially by the articulation with another bone and partially by a ligament . The bone rotates within this ring. Since the rotation is around a single axis‚ pivot joints are functionally classified as a uniaxial diarthrosis type of joint. An example of a pivot joint is the atlantoaxial joint‚ found between the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae. Here‚ the upward projecting dens of the axis articulates with the inner aspect

Gluteals are the group of muscles comprising of your buttocks. Out the four muscles in your buttocks‚ there are only 3 groups of muscle that can be found on your buttocks. These muscles are gluteus maximus‚ medius and minimus. The fourth group which is the smallest one is the tenor fasciae latae muscles that can be found in the anterior area of the body. Functioning together‚ the gluteal muscles handle most of the motions of the upper leg‚ which includes rotation of the thigh‚ and abduction and turning

Types of joints: Ball-and-socket joint: Consists of a bone with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Such a joint allows a wider range of motion than does any other kind‚ permitting movements in all planes‚ as well as rotational movement around a central axis. The hip and shoulder contain joints of this type. Condyloid joint: The ovoid condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone‚ as in the joints between the

Unit 5 Reading Guide Questions Which minerals are stored in bones? Triglycerides‚ calcium phosphate‚ and calcium hydroxide are all stored in the bones as mineral salts Which types of bones provides a large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment? Flat bones such as the scapulae have large‚ flat surface area for muscle attachment. Describe the location‚ composition‚ and function of the epiphyseal plate. The epiphyseal plate is located in the metaphysis‚ and is composed of hyaline cartilage

Muscle Contractions By: Evan Contractions‚ put simply‚ are the basic action of any muscle. A contraction is a change in a muscle by which it becomes thickened and shortened after the brain sends signals to nerve cells telling them do contract a specific muscle or muscles. Surprisingly‚ a contraction is a complex human action and reaction‚ yet it is such a breeze to understand the basic meaning of the word. Throughout this essay I will give you extensive details about the process of muscle contractions

Advance Preparation—ATP Muscle Kit 1. Order the ATP muscle kits (Carolina) to be delivered no more than seven days before the lab. One kit provides generously for eight students. Extra vials of the chemical solutions can be ordered separately (Carolina) and will reduce waiting time. Just before the lab begins‚ cut the muscle bundles into 2-centimeter lengths and place in a petri dish in the accompanying glycerol. 64 Exercise 11 R E V I E W S H E E T NAME ____________________________________

composition of bone mostly consist of inorganic material and collagen fibers. The macroscopic structures of bone is Compact bone‚ Cancellous bone‚ Epiphysis‚ Diaphysis‚ Periosteum‚ Red bone marrow‚ yellow bone marrow‚ and the articular cartilage (Doitpoms.com). Collagen is a triple helix structured protein that is the most prominent protein in the skeletal system. Bones consist of two distinct types of bone tissue such as cancellous and cortical bone. Cancellous bone is also known as spongy bone and is located
