Study Notes
Skeletal System
- Comprises a rigid framework of bones providing body support and protecting internal organs.
- Connective structures include:
- Ligaments: Strong tissue connecting bones to one another.
- Tendons: Connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones.
- Cartilage: A stiff tissue that supports joints and provides flexibility.
Muscular System
- Composed of muscles and tendons responsible for body movement through energy exertion.
- Types of muscles:
- Skeletal Muscles: Voluntary muscles that facilitate movement.
- Cardiac Muscles: Involuntary muscles found in the heart.
- Smooth Muscles: Involuntary muscles, found in organs.
Nervous System
- A complex network of nerves coordinating bodily actions and transmitting messages.
- Divided into two main parts:
- Central Nervous System (CNS): Includes the brain and spinal cord; manages body functions and information exchange.
- Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Includes all other nerves and endings; transmits sensory information to the CNS and receives responses.
Important Concepts and Definitions
- Epilepsy: Not a degenerative disorder of the spinal nervous system; true or false answer is false.
- Healthy Skeletal System Maintenance: Regular exercise and a balanced diet are essential for overall skeletal health.
- Sense of Smell: Governed by the nervous system.
- Migraine Headaches: Classified as common disorders of the CNS.
- Electrical Impulse Pathway: After stimuli (e.g., touching a hot pot), signals travel from the hand nerves to the spinal cord, then to the brain and back.
- Muscle Atrophy: Refers to a muscle that has shrunk in size.
Quiz and Review Points
- Cardiac muscles are categorized as involuntary smooth muscles.
- Groupings of muscles for presentations should include skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles.
- The skeletal system does not directly affect the body's ability to fight infections.
