Connective tissues — in skeleton?
Support, protect, and connect bones.
Cartilage types — main?
Hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic.
Tendons — role?
Connect muscle to bone.
Ligaments — function?
Connect bone to bone at joints.
Fixed joint — movement?
No movement.
Synovial joint — example?
Knee, elbow, shoulder.
Skeletal muscle — structure?
Muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomeres.
Muscle contraction — mechanism?
Sliding of actin and myosin filaments.
Antagonistic pairs — example?
Biceps and triceps.
Biceps — action?
Flexes the arm.
Triceps — action?
Extends the arm.
Muscle roles — in locomotion?
Produce movement via contraction.
Connective tissue — characteristic?
Cells in a matrix.
Hyaline cartilage — location?
Ends of long bones, nose tip.
Tendon — composition?
Collagen fibers.
Ligament — property?
Elastic, stabilizes joints.
