calcium
Define Cartilage.
a flexible, rubbery substance in our joints, supports bones and protects them where they rub against each other.
what does the cerebellum do?
coordinates the muscle movements ordered by the motor cortex.
Difference between flexors and extendors?
The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. The extensor contracts to extend or straighten the limb at the same joint
Name four mucles in the body
-bicept
-tricept
-deltoid
-quadricepts
(any mucles will do)
What are the different kinds of muscles?
-cardiac
-smooth
-skeletal
State and define two different types of problems that can occur within the body?
Osteoporosis: one tissue becomes brittle, thin, and spongy. Bones break easily, and the spine sometimes begins to crumble and collapse.
Tendonitis: . The tendon and tendon sheath become inflamed, which can be painful.
Conclusion
Hopefully these activities helped you learn more about muscles and the skeleton!
