Integumentary, Skeletal, and Muscular Systems

Front

What are the main functions of the Muscular System?

Back

The main functions of the Muscular System are to produce movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints, and generate heat.

Front

What are the main functions of the Skeletal System?

Back

The main functions of the Skeletal System are support, protection, movement, storage of minerals, and blood cell production.

Front

What are the three types of muscles in the Muscular System?

Back

The three types of muscles in the Muscular System are skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle.

Front

What is the primary function of the Integumentary System?

Back

Front

Which type of muscle is under voluntary control?

Back

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that is under voluntary control.

Front

What is the role of cartilage in the Skeletal System?

Back

Cartilage provides support and flexibility, reduces friction between bones, and absorbs shock.

Front

What is the function of ligaments in the Skeletal System?

Back

Ligaments connect bones to other bones and help stabilize joints.

Front

What is the significance of blood cell production in the Skeletal System?

Back

Blood cell production is significant because it occurs in the bone marrow, which is essential for transporting oxygen and fighting infections.

Front

How do muscles work in pairs to produce movement?

Back

Muscles work in pairs (antagonistic pairs) where one muscle contracts while the other relaxes to produce movement.

Front

What is the role of the skin in the Integumentary System?

Back

The skin acts as a barrier to protect the body from external harm, regulates temperature, and allows for sensation.
