Five important functions of the skeletal system are support, protection, mineral storage, blood cell formation, and anchoring and movement of muscle. Support: Provides the shape and structure for the body. Protection: Surrounds and protects the internal organs from damage. Mineral Storage: Phosphorus and calcium are two necessary minerals for regulatory functions, which are stored inside of the bones. Blood cell formation: Inside of the bone marrow, red blood cells are constantly being made. 6
Musculoskeletal System Anchoring and movement of muscle: For muscular movement and action, the bones are the supporting structures. The muscular system is composed of various amounts of tissue that interact with each other to execute essential functions of the body. Examples include permitting movement to be possible, along with holding the body parts in position. It is also a protective mechanism for internal organs. Transports the food through the digestive tract. Helping blood flow throughout the body in order to return to the heart.

Labeled System 8
Nervous System Key Terms neur/o - nerve encephal/o - brain myel/o - bone; spinal cord ambul/o - to walk -esthesia - feeling; sensation mening/o - meninges psych/o - mind concuss/o - shaken together Function The function of the nervous system consists of sensory input, integration, and motor output. Sensory input is any electrical impulse sent from the sensory organs (the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin) to the central nervous system, otherwise known as the CNS. Integration is when the CNS processes and interprets the information received through the sensory organs. It then passes it on to execute the last step, motor output. Motor output is when the CNS transmits messages to effectors (muscles / glands in the body that generate a response in the form of motor output.) It then results in either voluntary or involuntary movement. Vocabulary Cerebrospinal fluid - watery, clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord Autonomic nervous system - that division if the nervous system concerned with reflex, or involuntary, activities of the body Central nervous system - That division of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord. 9
Nervous System Cerebellum - the section of the brain that is dorsal to the pons and medulla oblongata; maintains balance and equilibrium Diencephalon - aseptic- control method that destroys pathogens but does usually kill spores and viruses Hypothalamus - that structure in the diencephalon of the brain that regulates and controls many body functions Medulla oblongata - the lower part of the brainstem; controls vital processes such as respiration and heartbeat Meninges - membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord Midbrain - that portion of the brain that connects the pons and cerebellum; relay center of impulses Parasympathetic - relating to the part of the autonomic nervous system that counterbalances the action of the sympathetic nerves Peripheral nervous system - the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord Somatic nervous system - (Physiology) physiol the section of the nervous system responsible for sensation and control of the skeletal muscles. Diseases / Disorders Bell’s Palsy - Unilateral (one-sided) paralysis of the nerves that control the facial muscles, causing o nly one side of the face to droop. It is usually a temporary condition, thought to be caused by a virus. Brain Tumor - Any intracranial mass, which may be neoplastic (a new growth), cystic (a sac containing fluid), or inflammatory (an abscess.) Cerebral Palsy (CP) - Disorder that affects movement and muscle tone; caused by a defect in, or trauma to, the brain before birth. 10
Nervous System Paresthesia - Sensation of numbness, tingling, or prickling, usually in the upper or lower extremities; caused by irritation of, or injury to, sensory nerves or nerve roots. Seizure - Disruption of electrical activity in the brain that produces physical and mental changes, such as convulsions, sensory disturbances, and loss of consciousness. Healthcare Careers Neurosurgeon - A neurosurgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system including congenital anomalies, trauma, tumors, vascular disorders, infections of the brain or spine, stroke, or degenerative diseases of the spine. Neurologist - neurologists treat patients with complex disorders of the nervous system such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, epilepsy, headache disorders, infections of the brain and peripheral nervous system. Neurologists often work closely with neurosurgeons, but do not perform surgery. Labeled System 11
Special Senses Key Terms irid/o - iris -cusis - hearing -opia - ear condition ot/o - ear tympan/o - eardrum opthalm/o - eye -metry - process of measuring Function Special senses are also involved in a nervous system function known as sensory input. These senses monitor stimuli, or changes in the external / internal environment. When the neural receptors are activated inside of the special sense organs, a neural impulse is transmitted to the brain. Then the impulse is acted upon by the body. Vocabulary Ampulla - contains receptors for rotation in semicircular ducts. Olfaction - sense of smell. We can sense up to 10,000 smells Cerebral cortex - receives all stimuli from special senses Equilibrium - sense of motion and balance. utricle and saccule. Bony labyrinth - a shell made of bone protects the membranous labyrinth. 12
Special Senses Semicircular canals - one of three semicircular, interconnected tubes located inside each ear. The three canals are: horizontal semicircular canal (lateral semicircular canal), superior semicircular canal (anterior semicircular canal),and the posterior semicircular canal. Cochlea - shaped like a snail shell. the organ for hearing. It is coiled like a tube on the anterior side of the vestibule. Vestibule - chamber that begins the labyrinth and contains the organs for equilibrium. membranous labyrinth - fluid filled tubes that house receptors for hearing and equilibrium. Perilymph - contains cell bodies of sensory neurons that monitor hair cells in the organ of corti Taste buds - Made up of 40-60 cells. 3 types of cells:1. taste cells are not considered neurons, 2. supporting cells, 3. basal cells. function: taste cells contain microvilli called taste hairs, function as receptors by synapsing with sensory nerve fibers. Only live 7-10 days and be replaced by basal cells. Vallate - form V posterior to the tongue only 7-12 contains 250 taste buds each. Diseases / Disorders Cataract - Clouding of the lens that results in decreased visual acuity; caused by accumulation of protein in the lens Entropion - Inversion (turning inward) of the eyelid, causing the eyelashes to irritate the surface of the eye; can potentially cause corneal abrasion. Retinal Detachment - Emergency condition in which the retina separates from the layer of blood vessels that supports it. Common symptoms include floaters (small pecks, squiggly lines, or hair-like strands in the field of vision), flashing lights, and a shadow that gradually obscures vision. Without immediate treatment, blindness ensues. Tinnitus - Sensation of noises (such as ringing, buzzing, or whistling) in the ears when no sound is present. 13
