| What is locomotion? | the ability of an organism to move from one place to another |
| If an organism is sessile it means that it... | remains in the same location and does not move |
| If an organism is mobile it means that it... | is capable of moving to another location |
| Advantages of locomotion include... | increases its chances for survival by increasing the ability to: attain food, find shelter, move away from waste or other harmful substances, escape from enemies, find and make contact with others of the species for reproduction |
| Plants have adaptations for locomotion. Some develop specialized structures that make it able to move from place to place. These are called... | male gametes of mosses and ferns |
| Algae and bacteria use......for locomotion | flagella--whiplike tails |
| The paramecia use a hair like structure called.........for locomotion | cilia |
| The ameba uses this structure for locomotion | pseudopods which are like false feet |
| The euglena uses.... to move | flagella |
| The hydra is sessile most of the time. __________help the hydra to change its location by somersaulting and to move its body and tentacles | contractile fibers |
| What does the earthworm use to enable it to stretch and contract? | Setae, (tiny bristles) on the ventral side to help grip the soil |
| What does the grasshopper use for locomotion? | wings and jointed legs with chitinous appendages |
| Human lomotion is achieved through the use of... | bones, cartilage, tendons, liigaments, muscles |
| The bones make up the endoskeleton and their function is to... | support and protection of the body structures, points of attachments for muscles, levers to produce body movements, and production of blood cells in their marrow |
| Cartilage is flexible, fibrous, and elastic tissue located at the end of ribs between vertebrae and other moveable joints, nose, ears, trachea. Its function is to... | provide support of structure while permitting some bending or motion, provide flexibility of joints between bones, provide cushioning against impact or pressure |
| Tendons are tough inelastic, fibrous cords of connective tissure. Their function is to ... | attach muscles to bone |
| Ligaments are similar to tendons but fibers are not regularly arranged. Their function is to... | connect the ends of the bones together at moveable joints (elbows, fingers, knees, vertabral column) |
| Muscles are made up of cells... | that have the ability to contract and exert pulling force |
| The three types of muscle are... | skeletal, smooth, and cardiac |
| Skeletal muscle tissue is... | striated, under conscious control, used to make voluntary movements (tricep, bicep) |
| Smooth muscle tissue is... | not striated, not under conscious contro, controls automatic involuntary movement (ex: diapharam/ digestive tract) |
| Cardiac muscle is... | striated, involuntary, contracts and relaxes continuously (mainly under its own internal control( ex: heart) |
| Arthritis is... | a number of condiitons that cause pain, stiffness, inflammation and deformity of the joints |
| Tendonitis is... | inflamation of a tendon, usually near its attachment to a bone |
| Flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia are structures associated with the locomotion of | protozoa |
| Cyclosis is associated with the process of locomotion in the | ameba |
| What organelle of a paramecium serves the same function as the pseudopodia of an ameba? | cilia |
| Organisms are classified as sessile or motile based on the life activity know as | locomotion |
| Pseudopodia, chitinous appendages, and setae are structues that assist various animals in | avoiding predators |
| Which organisms are able to move due to the interaction of muscular and skeletal systems? | earthworm and human |
