Study Notes
Cell Reproduction
- Cell reproduction is called mitosis.
Sternum
- The sternum is a flat bone.
- It supports the ribs.
- It is the ventral support of the ribs.
Blood Fluid
- Plasma is the fluid part of the blood that carries nutrients and secretions to the cells and waste products away from the cells.
Muscle Origin
- The origin of a muscle is attached to the skeleton.
Specialized Structures
- Specialized tissues grouped together form organs.
- Organs working together form systems.
Parathyroid Gland
- The parathyroid gland regulates blood calcium and phosphorus levels so the nervous and muscular systems function correctly.
- This ensures the nervous and muscular systems correctly function.
Additional Information
- The process of cell reproduction is called mitosis.
- The sternum is the flat bone that forms the ventral support of the ribs.
- The longest bone in the foot is likely not the collarbone, double-check the source.
- The fluid part of blood that carries food and secretions to cells is plasma.
- The origin of a muscle is the point where the muscle attaches to the skeleton.
- Tissues grouped into organs, and then organs into systems.
