Study Guide
The Muscular and Skeletal System Test will assess students ability in the following
areas:
Students should be able to demonstrate proficiency in the following benchmarks as they
pertain to the muscular and skeletal systems:
10.01 Knows that living systems at all levels of organization demonstrate complementary
structure and function; the major levels of organization for structure and function; the
major levels of organization include cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, whole organisms
and ecosystems.
10.04 Knows that specialized cells perform specialized functions in multi-cellular organisms;
each type of cell, tissue and organ has a distinct structure and set of functions that serve the
organism as a whole
Students should be able to:
- Describe examples of how our bodies maintain homeostasis
- Analyze why our bodies need to maintain homeostasis
- Describe examples of how the form (shape) of objects are related to their function (what they do)
- Compare and contrast muscle cells with other types of cells
- Locate skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles in the body
- Differentiate between voluntary and involuntary muscles
- Identify which types of muscles are voluntary and involuntary
- Differentiate between fast and slow twitch muscles
- Analyze why our bodies have many different types of muscles, including skeletal, smooth and
cardiac; voluntary and involuntary; fast and slow twitch
- Describe how our muscles help our bodies to maintain homeostasis
- Explain how tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones, and nerves work together to move our bodies
- Describe how muscles work in pairs to move our bodies
- Explain what increase the strength of a muscle contraction
- Identify the following muscles in the body: biceps, triceps, hamstrings, quadriceps (quads)
abdominals (abs), latisimus dorsi (lats), pectorals (pecs) deltoids, and gluteus maximus
- Identify most of the major bones in the human body.
