Questions and Answers
What are the functions of the superficial fascia?
What are the functions of the superficial fascia?
- Acting as a thermal insulator, soft pad protecting against trauma, and storing fat and energy (correct)
- Supporting organ function, producing hormones, and regulating body temperature
- Providing muscle attachment, forming joints, and resisting friction and compression
- Aiding in digestion, promoting blood circulation, and storing vitamins
What are the three functions of bones?
What are the three functions of bones?
- Maintaining body temperature, protecting internal organs, and promoting blood circulation
- Producing blood cells, supporting muscle movement, and insulating the body
- Giving body shape, forming joints, and storing vitamins
- Transmission of body weight, protection of vital organs, and formation of joints (correct)
What are the differences between primary and secondary cartilaginous joints?
What are the differences between primary and secondary cartilaginous joints?
- Primary joints are immovable while secondary joints allow slight movement (correct)
- Primary joints are found in the skull while secondary joints are found in the spine
- Primary joints have hyaline cartilage while secondary joints have fibrous cartilage
- Primary joints are temporary while secondary joints are permanent

Study Notes
Functions of Superficial Fascia
- Supports and surrounds subcutaneous tissues, such as skin, fat, and muscles
- Anchors skin to underlying tissues
- Allows for movement and sliding between layers
Functions of Bones
- Support and protection of internal organs
- Movement and mobility through joint articulations
- Production of blood cells through bone marrow
Cartilaginous Joints
- Primary cartilaginous joints: formed by fusion of adjacent bones, no joint cavity (e.g., growth plates, joint between cranial bones)
- Secondary cartilaginous joints: have a joint cavity, connected by cartilage and fibrocartilage (e.g., pubic symphysis)
Types of Muscles
- Skeletal muscles: voluntary, striated, and attached to bones
- Smooth muscles: involuntary, non-striated, found in internal organs and blood vessels
- Cardiac muscles: involuntary, striated, found only in the heart
Functions of the Liver
- Detoxification and metabolism of substances
- Production of bile for digestion
- Storage and regulation of nutrients and energy
Heart Chambers
- Right atrium: contains deoxygenated blood from the body
Arteries and Veins
- Arteries: thick walls, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
- Veins: thin walls, carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart
Paranasal Sinuses
- Provide resonance for voice and speech
- Warm, humidify, and filter air we breathe
- Produce mucus to trap pathogens and debris
Functions of the Cerebellum
- Coordinates and regulates movement, balance, and posture
- Integrates sensory information and motor responses
Brain Stem Functions
- The medulla oblongata is responsible for controlling involuntary functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
