Question 1 Skeletal System The skeletal system is a strong yet light‚ flexible living framework that supports the body‚ protects delicate internal organs and makes movement possible. In addition‚ our bones store minerals while red bone marrow produces blood cells. Support The skeleton provides a frame that shapes the body and holds it up. Within the skeleton different characteristics of support can be identified. As the body’s main axis‚ the backbone provides support to the trunk with its upper

Muscular System Animations 1. How do nerve impulses cause muscle contraction? Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Both neurons and muscle tissue conduct electrical current by moving ions across cellular membranes. A motor neuron ends in a synapse with a muscle fiber. The neuron releases acetylcholine and transfers the action potential to the muscle tissue. The signal will travel through the tissue

You too can have a healthy skeletal system‚ even in old age Announcer: I just came from the doctor and I am definitely going to start hiking once a week‚ and am going to bump up my exercise routine to three times a week. I also need to get to the grocery store to buy some calcium-rich foods. Radio Personality: You know‚ I am so sick of my doctor telling me what to eat and when to exercise. I am naturally in good shape and can eat whatever I want and still have a great physique. Announcer:

eye. What is the skeletal system? The skeletal system is a very important part of the human body this consists of 206 bones‚ which together with different structures make the joints of the system. Within the skeletal system the structures present are the cartilage‚ bone tissues‚ fibrous connective tissues which form the ligaments of the bones Scanlon and Sanders‚ pp.122‚ 2014). The skeletal system consists of two main organs these are the ligaments and bones‚ the skeletal system functions by protecting

The Neuromuscular System function to achieve movement at the joints Kinesiology Romaine Campbell 120026 BTT2A G.C. Foster Collage of Physical Education & Sports Mr. April 13‚ 2015 What is the Neuromuscular System? According to research the neuromuscular system is to make the body move‚ a signal travels along neurons nerve cells from the brain to the spinal cord. There‚ "lower motor neurons" pass the message on to the muscles. The end of every lower motor neuron releases a chemical‚ which is

Toxic Responses of The Ocular and Visual System Desiree S. Dawson Southern University and A&M College November 30‚ 2015 Abstract The Ocular and Visual System is part of the Central Nervous System. It allows an organism to see visual detail. It can interpret visual light‚ binocular representation and perception. The Visual System consists of the retina‚ optic chiasm‚ optic nerve‚ visual cortex‚ optic tract‚ lateral geniculate body and visual association

The Muscular System Teacher pages The muscular system allows us to move. Adults have a certain fixed number of muscle cells‚ approximately 602. . Through exercise‚ such as weight lifting‚ the cells enlarge but the number of cells does not increase. Structure and Function There are three types of muscle tissue—smooth‚ skeletal‚ and cardiac. Each has its own distinctive function‚ and therefore‚ its own distinctive structure‚ but all muscles allow movement of some kind. Skeletal Muscle
