Regents Biology 2007-2008 Skeletons & Muscles
3
Regents Biology Animal Movement What are the advantages of being mobile? 1. Find food 2. escape 3. migrate 4. find a mate mobile able to move from place to place sessile stay in one place Ex: barnacles
4
Regents Biology Human endoskeleton 206 bones Axial skeleton skull, rib cage, spine Appendicular Skeleton hips, shoulders, arms and legs
5
Regents Biology Human endoskeleton Functions 1. support 2. protect 3. Move 4. Store minerals 5. Make blood cells Ossification – the replacement of cartilage by bone
6
Regents Biology 6 Types of Joints – Name, type of movement, example 1.Ball and socket Wide range of movement - ex. Hips and shoulders 2.Hinge Back and forth movement – ex. Wrist and knee 3. Pivot Twisting movement – ex. Neck and elbow 4. Fixed NO movement – ex. skull 5. Gliding Sliding movement – ex. Wrist and ankle 6. Saddle Allows thumb to cross over palm – ex. Thumb ONLY
7
Regents Biology 3 Types of Muscle voluntary involuntary, contract on their own involuntary Connect to bone Work in pairs Striated or striped NOT striated Controlled by the medulla Example – peristalsis, diaphragm Heart ONLY Striated striated smooth cardiac
8
Regents Biology Muscle movement Muscles do work by contracting (shortening) Muscles can only pull bone skeletal muscles come in antagonistic pairs Muscles work against each other Flexor (bends) vs. extensor (straightens)
9
Regents Biology 3 Types of connective tissue ♦Tendons - connect bone to muscle Ligaments - connect bone to bone Cartilage – cushions between bones
10
Regents Biology Fast twitch & slow twitch muscles Slow twitch muscle fibers contract slowly, but keep going for a long time more mitochondria for aerobic respiration long distance runner “dark” meat = more blood vessels Fast twitch muscle fibers contract quickly, but get tired rapidly sprinter “white” meat
11
Regents Biology Muscle limits Muscle fatigue lack of ATP – anaerobic respiration low O 2 lactic acid lowers pH which interferes with enzyme (protein) function Muscle cramps build up of lactic acid – causes the “burn” lack of (ATP) massage or stretching increases circulation
12
Regents Biology Diseases – failure to maintain homeostasis ALS - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease) motor neurons degenerate Osteoporosis – loss of Calcium Arthritis – loss of cartilage – bones “rub” together Tendonitis Leukemia – cancer of bone marrow
