Skeletal System and Muscular System Test

1. What is NOT a function of the skeletal system?

• helps with organ function
• allows movement and helps with posture
• makes blood cells
• provides protection for the organs
• stores minerals

2. Which structure of the skeletal system allows movement to occur and is the location where two or more bones meet?

• cartilage
• tendon
• joint
• ligament

3. A(n) _____ muscle contracts under unconscious control.

• striated
• involuntary
• skeletal
• voluntary

4. Which of the following is not a structure of the skeletal system?

• tendons
• cartilage
• ligaments
• smooth muscle

5. The bones of the skeleton store minerals such as phosphorus and -

• sodium
• calcium
• potassium
• iron

6. The spaces in bones are filled with a soft connective tissue called -

• blood
• cartilage
• marrow
• water

7. Which type of muscle makes up the heart?

• cardiac
• skeletal
• smooth
• all of these

8. The type of joint that has the greatest range of motion -

• Ball and Socket Joint
• Contract
• Smooth muscle
• Cartilage
• Tendon

9. Tissue that connects bone to bone.

• Cartilage
• Tendon
• Ligaments
• Ball and Socket Joint

10. Kinesiology studies how the body initiates and controls movement, beginning with the brain and using interactions of different body systems. The body moves when internal and external forces act on it. Internal forces are generated within the body, while external forces are generated outside of the body. Internally, muscles generate force as they contract and bones generate movement. Which statement accurately represents how forces affect motion in organisms?

• When a muscle relaxes, it applies a pulling force on a bone, causing it to move.
• When a bone relaxes, it applies a pushing force on a muscle, causing it to move.
• When a muscle contracts, it applies a pulling force on a bone, which causes movement.
• When a bone contracts, it applies a pushing force on a muscle, which causes movement
