What is locomotion?
2
- the ability to move from place to place
What is locomotion? Locomotion - the ability to move from place to place Why is locomotion important to an organism?
3
cilia pseudopods flagella
4
exoskeleton endoskeleton
5
Molting -shedding of the exoskeleton
6
The Musculo-skeletal System
7
Components of the musculoskeletal system
bones cartilage ligaments tendons muscles smooth cardiac skeletal
10
Bone Marrow
11
Haversian Canals osteocyte
12
Bone - a type of connective tissue that is hard and inflexible
living tissue - osteocytes blood vessels bone marrow inorganic compounds (Ca, P) connective tissue fibers (collagen, polysaccharides)
13
Functions of Bone give the body shape and support
protect delicate structures produces red blood cells and some white blood cells sites of attachment for skeletal muscles levers for movement of body parts storage places for minerals (Ca, P)
15
Development of Red Blood cells
17
Red Marrow - Soft tissue found in flat bones (ribs) and
Red Marrow Soft tissue found in flat bones (ribs) and in the ends of long bones produces blood cells million per second Yellow marrow made up mostly of fat tissue found in the center of long bones may produce red blood cells if there is a great loss of blood
18
There are 25,000,000,000,000 red blood cells in the human body.
If 3 million red blood cells die each second, then how many must be made to replace them in one day? 259,200,000,000
20
Normal spongy bone Osteoporitic bone
21
What is osteoporosis?
22
Osteoporosis A disease in which the bones become extremely porous, are subject to fracture, and heal slowly, occurring especially in women following menopause and often leading to curvature of the spine from vertebral collapse.
23
Osteoporosis causes - loss of calcium from the bones
- lack of vitamin D other factors aging, physical inactivity, reduced levels of estrogen, heredity, excessive Cortisone or thyroid hormone, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake
24
What is a joint? A point in the skeleton where bones meet
26
Ligament - band of tough, fibrous tissue connecting bones together
27
Tendons strong bands of connective tissues that attach skeletal muscle to bone
29
What are these body parts
made of?
30
a type of flexible connective tissue
Cartilage a type of flexible connective tissue
36
Skeletal Muscle
37
Types of Muscle smooth muscle cardiac muscle skeletal muscle
40
biceps triceps
41
Why must muscles work in antagonistic pairs?
Muscles can only produce movement through contracting (pulling the bones). They cannot move (push) the bones by relaxing.
42
Biceps - flexor Triceps - extensor
44
Components of the musculoskeletal system
bones cartilage ligaments tendons muscles smooth cardiac skeletal
