connective tissue that begins within the muscle and continues into the bone or other muscle tissue physically connects the two allowing for movement
Back
nervous system
Front
connected network control thoughts movements and simpler life processes
Back
CNS
Front
includes the brain and spinal cord
Back
smooth muscle
Front
under involuntary control
hormones or the nervous system stimulate the smooth muscle
found in the bladder it helps to push out baby during child birth and empties the bladder
contractions are slower than skeletal muscle
Back
A person sees a ball and kicks it, in part because of actions of the nervous system. Using the parts of the nervous system listed, describe the path of nerve impulses that cause the person to (1) see the ball and (2) kick the ball.
Front
The signal will start from the eyes. The message is carried by sensory neurons to the spinal cord. There, the "impulse" will transfer to motor neurons which will carry it to the brain.
Back
endocrine system
Front
collection of physically disconnected organs that helps control growth growth development and responses to your environment (shivering) hormones
Back
sensory neurons
Front
detect stimuli and transmit signals to the brain and spinal cord which are both made up of interneurons
Back
vertebrae
Front
bones that surround spinal cord bones protect brain ribs and breastbone protect the heart and lungs
Back
brain
Front
to receive messages from the sensory organs and to send the message out to your muscles
Back
neurotransmitters
Front
chemical signals of the nervous system
Back
skeletal muscle
Front
attaches to the skeleton by tendons
under voluntary control but some are under involuntary
skeletal muscle in found in your arm
Back
joints
Front
bone to bone
Back
ligament
Front
long connective tissue that connects two bones across a joint
Back
spinal cord
Front
transmits messages between the brain and the rest of the body
Back
motor neurons
Front
pass messages from the nervous system to other tissues in the body such as muscles
