WGU D203 SECTION 1 TEST QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS
The process by which cartilage turns into bone is called ossification.
What are the skeletal system's purposes? The human body's internal structure,
or ANSWER, offers vital defense against harm to the organs of the respiratory,
cardiovascular, and neurological systems.
In order to walk, chew, and write, the skeleton also provides skeletal muscles
with areas to pull against.You wouldn't have your distinctive face characteristics
or the support your body requires without the skeletal system. Your skeleton
also stores minerals that your muscle system needs in order to
contract:production of blood cells
-homeostasis
Long: ANSWER serve as levers that the skeletal muscles can pull on.
Flat: ANSWER Muscle attachment points; internal organ protection
Unusual: ANSWER: Preserve internal organs
Sesamoid: By guarding against compressive stresses, ANSWER supports
tendons at pivot points.
In brief: ANSWER Give support and stability while permitting some
movement.
When combined, they allow for moderately variable mobility.
fibrous: ANSWER lacks a joint cavity and is joined by thick connective tissue.
cartilaginous: ANSWER lacks a joint cavity and is joined by hyaline cartilage.
, Synovial: The articulating bones are surrounded and cushioned by a fluid-filled
reservoir called a bursa.
What is the human body's bone count? - ANSWER 206 bones
The cranium, rib cage, and spinal column make up the axial skeleton, which is
the ANSWER portion of the skeletal system.
ANSWER: appendicular skeleton limb girdles and limb bones that are joined to
the axial skeleton.
Joint: ANSWER A location where two bones meet in the body
Cartilage: ANSWER a more pliable connective tissue than bone that shields and
prevents bone ends from rubbing against one another.
Bone to bone is connected by a ligament.
Tendon: ANSWER: Joins bone and muscle
Answer: Bones give your body stability, shape, and protection. They also act as
a store of calcium to keep your body in a state of homeostasis.
The red bone marrow produces blood cells through a process called
hematopoiesis.
Skeletal muscles: These muscles make up the majority of the body's muscles.
They consist of three tissue layers. The human body contains around 600
skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscles are all voluntary. You can control your
voluntary muscles. Your skeletal muscles are used when you pick up a glass of
water, carry a tiny child, or traverse a room to answer a phone.
Cardiac muscle: Only the heart contains ANSWER. The heart muscle is not
voluntary. A muscle that works against your will or control is called an
involuntary muscle. The heart beats and pumps blood when the heart muscle
contracts.
