Study Notes
Muscle Tissue and System
- Muscle tissue contracts and moves various parts of the body
- Muscular system is the body system that covers, shapes, and supports the skeletal tissue
Bones
- Nasal bones form the bridge of the nose
- Occipital bone is the hindmost bone of the skull, located below the parietal bones
Nervous System
- Nerve tissue carries messages to and from the brain and controls and coordinates all bodily functions
- Nerves are whitish cords made up of bundles of nerve fibers held together by connective tissue, through which impulses are transmitted
- Neuron is the primary structural unit of the nervous system, consisting of the cell body, nucleus, dendrites, and the axon
Nerves
- Nasal nerve affects the point and lower sides of the nose
- Ophthalmic nerve supplies impulses to the skin of the forehead, upper eyelids, and interior portion of the scalp, orbit, eyeball, and nasal passage
Muscles
- Occipitalis is a muscle that draws the scalp backward
- Orbicularis oculi muscle is the ring muscle of the eye socket
Other Terms
- Myology is the study of the structure, function, and diseases of the muscles
- Nucleus is the dense, active protoplasm found in the center of a cell, important to reproduction and metabolism
- Occipital artery supplies the scalp and back of the head up to the crown
Muscular System
- The muscular system is a body system that covers, shapes, and supports skeletal tissue.
Facial Muscles
- Nasal nerve: affects the point and lower sides of the nose.
- Orbicularis oculi muscle: a ring muscle located in the eye socket.
