Chapter 5: The Skeletal System I. Introduction. The skeletal system consists of the bones‚ along with the cartilage and fibrous connective tissue that make up the ligaments that connect bones to bone at joints. A. Functions of the Skeleton. 1. The skeleton supports the body. 2. The skeleton protect soft body parts. The skull protects the brain‚ the rib cage protects the heart and lungs‚ and the vertebrae protect the spinal cord. 3. The skeleton produces blood cells. Red bone marrow contains

essential role in muscular contraction. The smallest functional unit of skeletal muscle is the sarcomere (1). A sarcomere is composed of many strands of two protein filaments‚ the thick and the thin filaments (1). The thick filament is made of the protein myosin‚ a motor protein‚ and the thin filament is composed of actin polymers (1). Myosin and actin work together sliding alongside each other to create contractile force of skeletal muscle (1). Actin is encoded by a highly conserved gene family. The gene

The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the

studying the anatomy of frogs and electrophysiology. In the 1780’s‚ he began to experiment with animal electricity. One day‚ Galvani was experimenting at the University of Bologna with frogs and test charges. It was known that if you applied a charge to the spinal cord of a frog‚ that it would cause the frog to have muscular spasms throughout it’s body. He found that the electric current supplied by a Leyden jar‚ would be powerful enough to causes the leg muscles of a frog to twitch or contract

After learning about chapter 9 about dialectical tensions‚ I found that their relationship somehow went through some of them which are: integration vs. separation and revelation vs. concealment. I would say the turning point for all of those conflicting tensions was their marriage about one year ago. Talking about integration vs. separation‚ when they were dating‚ they tried

Skeletal dysplasias are a group of disorders characterized by abnormalities in the growth and remodeling of cartilage and bone. These dysplasias affect the skull‚ spine‚ and extremities. Achondroplasia is the most common type of skeletal dysplasia. It is a genetic condition that results in abnormally short stature with disproportionately short limbs. It occurs in about 1 in every 15‚000 to one in 40‚000 births. In approximate 80% of the cases‚ it is caused by a spontaneous mutation to the FGFR3 gene
