Muscle Types and Skeletal System Overview

Muscle Types

• Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and allows movement
• Smooth muscle is located in various internal structures, including the digestive system
• Cardiac muscle is specific to the heart
• Cardiac muscle makes up the thick middle layer of the heart
• Muscles work with bones to move the body
• Smooth muscles move food through the digestive system

Skeletal System

• The skull protects the brain
• The rib cage protects the chest
• The rib cage contains the heart and lungs
• The humerus is the bone in the upper arm
• The femur is the large upper leg bone that connects the lower leg bones to the pelvic bone
• The vertebral column is also called the spinal column
• The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint
• The clavicle is a long, slightly curved bone that connects the arm to the body
• The vertebrae surround the spinal cord

Medicine

• Medicine helps people who are sick feel better
• Medicines come in different forms: pills, liquids, or creams
• Over-the-counter drugs (OTC) can be bought without a prescription
• Always take medicine given by a doctor
• Harmful and illegal drugs are called illegal drugs
• Taking too much medicine can harm the body
• Vaccines help protect the body from getting sick
• A prescription is written by a doctor to tell you which medicine to take
• Read the medicine label before taking any medicine to ensure safe use.

Muscle Types

• Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and allows movement.
• Smooth muscle is found in internal structures like the digestive system.
• Cardiac muscle is specific to the heart and makes up the thick middle layer.
• Muscles work in conjunction with bones to move the body.
• Smooth muscles move food through the digestive system.

The Skull

• The skull protects the brain.

The Rib Cage

• The rib cage protects the heart and lungs.

The Femur

• The femur is the large upper leg bone connecting the lower leg bones (knee joint) to the pelvic bone (hip joint).

The Humerus

• The humerus is the upper arm bone.

Vertebral Column

• The vertebral column, also known as the spine or spinal column, protects the spinal cord.

Shoulder Joint

• The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint.

Clavicle

• The clavicle, also known as the collarbone, connects the arm to the body.

Vertebrae

• The vertebrae surround and protect the spinal cord.

Medicine

• Medicine helps people who are sick feel better.
• Medicines come in different forms: pills, liquids, or creams.
• Over-the-counter drugs can be bought without a doctor’s prescription.

Safe Use of Medicine

• Always take medicine given by a doctor.
• Harmful and illegal drugs are called illegal drugs.

Medicine Safety

• Taking too much medicine can have harmful effects on the body.
• Vaccines help protect the body from getting sick.
• A prescription is what a doctor writes to tell you which medicine to take.
• It is important to read the medicine label before taking any medicine to ensure safe use.

This quiz covers essential concepts related to muscle types, including skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. It also explores the skeletal system, mentioning key bones and their functions in protecting vital organs. Assess your understanding of human anatomy and how muscles and bones work together to facilitate movement and protect the body.
