Make sure to write down anything in this color!!!
3
Function: to protect, hold up body and move it from place to place Definitions: Locomotion- being able to move one's self from place to place Sessile- stationary, staying in one place
4
1. Easier to get food 2. Easier to find a suitable place to live and away from harmful conditions. 3. Allows organism to escape from enemies or seek shelter 4. Allows organism to find mates and reproduce
5
Pseudopods- “false feet”, cytoplasm moves by flowing and extending the pseudopods [e.g. - amoeba] Cilia and Flagella- short hair like structures (paramecium) or long whip like (euglena)
6
Endoskeleton- internal structure such as human skeleton made of bone or cartilage. Skeleton can grow with organism as it gets larger. Exoskeleton- external hard outer structure such as a grasshopper Skeleton must be shed (molting) in order for the organism to grow. ***Both skeleton types use muscles to move their skeletons***
7
Bones & Cartilage Types of connective tissue ▪ Bone – hard and inflexible ▪ Cartilage- soft and flexible
8
1. Serve as site for muscles to attach to move body parts 2. Give body its shape and support 3. Protects delicate organs. 4. Stores calcium and phosphorus 5. Produces red and white blood cells in marrow.
9
Compact bone- very dense & strong Spongy Bone- very porous (full of holes)- marrow fills holes
11
connective tissue that bends easily gives support and cushions joints against impact and pressure Found in: Embryos- most of skeleton begins as cartilage then becomes bone ▪ Ossification- change of cartilage into bone Children- more cartilage than adults therefore their bones are more elastic and not as easily broken Adults- Ear, nose, ribs, around joints
12
RRed marrow- FFound: in spongy bones of vertebrae, ribs, cranium and tips of long bones or arms and legs FFunction: makes red blood cells, platelets and some white blood cells YYellow Marrow- ffound in hollow center of long bones mmade of fat cells
13
Total number of bones: 206 2 main parts: Axial skeleton - Skull and spine Appendicular Skeleton – ▪ Arms and Legs, Pectoral girdle, Pelvic girdle
14
point where bones meet Held together by LIGAMENTS (tough fibrous bands of connective tissue)
15
Immovable- cranium (tightly fitted) Movable- Hinge- Back & Forth motion (knee & elbow) Ball & Socket- move in all directions, ball shaped fit into a cuplike space (shoulder & hip) Pivot- side to side & up and down motion (base of skull) Gliding- some bending and twisting movement (wrist & vertebrae)
19
Types: 1. Skeletal Muscle - used in locomotion and in all voluntary movement Cells fuse together to form fibers bundles of fibers bind together to form muscles Striated appearance- striped with light & dark bands, shows overlapping fibers
21
FFibers made up of thin filaments called Actin & Myosin FFilaments slide over each other to contract (shorten) and relax (lengthen) CConnected by tendons to bones MMuscles pull bones when they contract (shorten)** cannot push**
24
Work antagonistic to each other: As one muscle contracts (shortens) the opposite muscle relaxes (lengthens) Example- Biceps (flexor bends a joint) and triceps (extensor extends or straightens a joint) in the arm Unique to Skeletal Muscle: Fast, strong contractions unlike smooth muscles
25
Skeletal muscle is a system of pairs that relax and contract to move a joint. For example, when front leg muscles contract, the knee extends (straightens) while back leg muscles relax. Conversely, to flex (bend) the knee, back leg muscles contract while front leg muscles relax.
26
2. Smooth Muscle - involuntary muscle Found: in digestive tract, blood vessels, diaphragm and some other internal organs Appearance: Long, overlapping sheets of cells Non-striated (no bands) Unique to Smooth Muscle: Long, less intense contractions
28
Cardiac muscle - found in heart only Appearance: ▪ Interlocking network of muscle cells with a single nucleus in each ▪ Striated muscle Unique to Cardiac Muscle: ▪ Built-in ability to contract on their own ▪ Muscles can contract together (heartbeat)- different than skeletal
29
Osteoporosis- brittle bones due to lack of calcium Treatment- medication and increased calcium intake in diet
31
Scurvy- caused by a lack of vitamin C (Absorbic Acid) causing wounds to heal poorly, bruising easily, gums bleed, teeth loosen, loss of appetite Treatment- Vitamin C
32
Caption: Close of the mouth of a person suffering from scurvy, a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), showing swollen and bleeding gums. Scurvy results from a diet that is devoid of fresh fruit & vegetables. Swollen and bleeding gums are initial symptoms and may be followed by bruising of the skin (subcutaneous bleeding) and the opening of previously healed wounds. A prolonged deficiency may cause death. Scurvy responds to treatment with vitamin C.
33
Arthritis- inflammation of the joints can be immune system related Treatment- anti-inflammatory drugs
34
Scoliosis- curvature of the spine caused by unknown (idiopathic); it can eventually lead to decreased lung capacity and congestive heart failure Treatment- wearing a spine straightening brace or surgery
36
Muscular Dystrophy- muscles break down and waste away to nothing eventually affects all voluntary muscles, heart and breathing muscles Duchenne’s MD usually only affects boys Treatment- none currently, physical therapy to help with symptoms
39
ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease- muscle weakness and wasting, some twitching then paralysis of arms and legs and then all voluntary muscles from motor neuron malfunction Treatment- none currently, some medication to slow it but physical therapy is needed Ex. Steve Gleason -Saints
