Christian was hit on the head by a football. How does the skeletal system help prevent injury?
The elastic bones of the skull help the skull reshape itself to prevent breakage.
The fused bones of the skull lessen the impact on the brain.
The spongy bones of the skull cause the ball to bounce off the head.
The joints in the skull move to prevent the football from hitting the head. - ANSWER The fused bones of the skull lessen the impact on the brain.
How does the skeletal system help aid the body when it is sick?
Physical protection of internal organs from disease-causing organisms
Filtration of disease-causing organisms from the body
Production of white blood cells that can destroy disease-causing organisms
Storage of calcium that makes bones stronger and less prone to attack from Disease-causing organisms - ANSWER Production of white blood cells that can destroy disease-causing organisms
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that occurs when the body's immune system starts attacking its own joint tissue. The symptoms are pain, inflammation, and swelling in the joints. Orthopedists (doctors who study bones) and immunologists (doctors who study the immune system) both work with patients who have rheumatoid arthritis. What is the difference between the orthopedists and immunologists who treat the disease?
Only the orthopedists examine the symptoms.
Only the immunologists examine the symptoms.
The orthopedists focus on the joints, and the immunologists focus on the cause.
The immunologists focus on the joints, and the orthopedists focus on the cause. - ANSWER The orthopedists focus on the joints, and the immunologists focus on the cause.

Spongy skeleton
Compact skeleton
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton - ANSWER Appendicular skeleton
The humerus is the long bone that extends from the shoulder to the elbow. Which skeletal system does the humerus belong to?
Spongy skeleton
Compact skeleton
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton - ANSWER Appendicular skeleton
Analogies are often used to help make concepts easier to understand. Trisha wants to create an analogy to help her remember the difference between the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. Which is the best analogy?
The axial skeleton is like the skin of an apple; the appendicular skeleton is like the core of an apple.
The axial skeleton is like the core of an apple; the appendicular skeleton is like the skin of an apple.
The axial skeleton is like the frame of a swing set; the appendicular skeleton is like the swings.
