What problem of the muscular system is an inherited disease?
Muscle sprain
ligament

How can you improve muscle tone? g
extercise
tendon
fibrous cord that attaches muscle to the bone
cerebral palsy
group of neurological disorders that are the result of damage to the brain before during or just after birth or in early childhood
ossification
process by which bine is formed, renewed, and repaired
which muscle is not striated?
smooth
cartilage

Contrast the shape of skull bones with the shape of arm bones, and relate these shapes to their different functions
the shape of the head is more solid to protect the brain vs flexibility and strength and movement

What kinds of protective gear can prevent injuries to the skeletal system?

How will behaviors you practice during your teen years affect your chances of getting osteoporosis later in life?

Which of the following is a condition that involves a progressive loss of bone tissue?
Osteoporosis
Which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system?
Producing red cells
How are tendons and ligaments important for movement?
Tendon a connective tissue attaching muscle to bone. When a muscle contracts to move a joint it is the tendon which pulls on the bone. Ligaments are strong bands which connect bones to bones at the joint. They're elasticated to allow the movement of that joint, but are strong enough to stop movement outside the normal range
Which of the following is not a part of the brain stem?
Thalamus
How can no rigorous activities, such as typing or sewing, lead to skeletal system injuries?
by pulling a joint wrongly
Which disease or disorder is not degenerative?
cerebral palsy
What can result from a spinal cord injury?
concussion
osteoporosis
condition in which there is a progressive loss of bone tissue
tendinitis
inflammation of a tendon
In a hairline fracture
is parts of the bone do not separate or the two parts of bone do not separate
How can strengthening muscles prevent injury?
it can reduce knots and shortage
cerebrum
largest and most complex part of the brain
scoliosis
lateral or side-to-side curvature of the spine
skeletal muscles
muscles attached to bone that cause body movement
smooth muscles
muscles that act on the lining of the body's passageways in the hollow internal organs
flexor
muscles that closes a joint
extensor
muscles that opens a joint
neurons
nerve cells; transmit messages to and from the spinal cord and brain
hernia
