QUESTIONS & DETAILED ANSWERS
RATED 100% CORRECT
The musculo-skeletal system is responsible for
movement as well as our ability to maintain posture
Bone
Any of the pieces of hard, whitish tissue making up the skeleton in humans and other
vertebrates.
Epiphyseal plates
The sites of new bone growth, separated from the main bone by cartilage during the growth
period. This is a potential injury site to be avoided in prescribing exercise to prepubescent
individuals.
Collagen
The most abundant type of protein in the body. It forms tough connective tissue, the scaffolding
holding a muscle in place, which becomes the tendons that tie muscles to bones. Connective
tissue literally holds the body together and includes skin, bones, ligaments, cartilage, and
organs.
Hydroxyapatite
A complex phosphate of calcium that occurs as a mineral and is the chief structural element of
vertebrate bone.
Trabecular bone
Light, porous bone enclosing numerous large spaces that give a honeycombed or spongy
appearance.
Bone marrow
The soft tissue in the center of the bone
Periosteum
, A connective tissue layer covering the outside surface of bone; it contains nerves and blood
vessels.
Joints
junction between two or more bones
Cartilaginous Joints
similar to fibrous joints, except that the material binding the bones together is cartilage
Joints that produce movement
synovial joints
Cartilage
A firm, elastic, flexible, white material found at the ends of ribs, between vertebrae, at joint
surfaces, and in the nose and ears.
Synovial fluid
A fluid that lubricates the smooth cartilage in joints.
Ligaments
The fibrous connective tissue that connects bone to bone, or bone to cartilage, to hold together
and support joints.
Tendon
A band or cord of strong, fibrous (collagenous) tissue that connects muscles to bone.
Bursa
A cushioning sac filled with a lubricating fluid that alleviates friction where there is movement
between muscles, between tendon and bone, or between bone and skin.
Sprains
A stretching or tearing of ligaments.
First Degree Sprain
This is the mildest type of sprain in which the ligaments are stretched but not torn.
Second Degree Sprain
This sprain does involve some tearing along with stretching of ligaments.
