Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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?

  • 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
