BIOLOGY CHAPTER 1 - LOCOMOTION

SUPPORT SYSTEM AND LOCOMOTION.

  • Locomotion : ability of a whole organism to move from one place to another.
  • Movement : A change in the position of any part of the body BUT it doesnt mean it involves locomotion.
  • Us, humans have soft, collapsible tissues which need to be supported and to be held in a rigid frame.
  • SKELETON is the framework that supports us.
There are three types of skeleton that support living things ;

  1. Hydostatic skeleton.
  2. Exoskeleton.
  3. Endoskeleton.
HYDROSTATIC SKELETON
  • Organisms that have a soft body.
  • Their body consist of internal fluid (liquid) between the confined spaces of the body.
  • The fluid, is held underpressure in compartments that are SURROUNDED <- remember that by the muscles.
  • Liquid cant be shaped therefore that is why it forms a skeleton which CANT BE COMPRESSED.
  • makes the body rigid so muscle can act against it.
  • examples heh heh : Jelly fishes, earthworms, Hydra

EXOSKELETON
  • Insects and arthropods have this type of skeleton in their body. THEY SENANG MATI THAT IS WHY ITS EX-Oskeleton. Get it? EX. X. X_X <- mati.
  • SUPPORTS AND PROTECT INTERNAL BODY ORGANS FROM DAMAGE.
  • Dah support so that means, the organism is ABLE to MOVE AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
  • Exoskeleton/cuticle = COVERS the surface of the body.
  • CUTICLE, has wax ; Prevent from water loss.
  • EXOSKELETON is flexible & thin at the joints (ingat ha praying mantis tu slim je, so.. go figure)
  • by right, exoskeleton cant increase in size.
  • IF the animal's growing it has to shed their exo periodically through ECDYSIS.
EXOSKELETON
  • USUSUSUUSUSUS. US.
  • made of bones and cartilage, muscles r attached.
  • Functions ;
  1. Maintaining body shape.
  2. Protect internal organs.
  3. Support soft tissues.
TEST YOUR MEMORY TYPE IT AGAIN.

What's the function of have an endoskeleton? O-well..
- It is to support the soft tissues, protect your internal organs, maintains the shape. Oo~ slim and slender ehe.

That was just the basic :(

Problems faced in support and Locomotion :
  • burung terbang tu, ha kena la ada gravitational pull. i mean, enough.
  • and fish tu? ha. kena swim underwater. HOW to they do that? ha hah ah.
  • Waterlily? dia float. HOW?
  • search for it la'er
SUPPORT AND LOCOMOTION ENDOSKELETON IN DETAIL!
  • Yang tulang macam atas tu, yang dekat collar bone tu, mm its called clavicle.
  • yang dekat ketiak tu, its called scapula.
  • vertebral collum is your backbone.
  • pelvic girdle to hip la. HIPS DONT LIE - PELVIC GIRDLE.
  • THORAX - contains sternum (tempat tarzan tepuk diri dia tu) and ribs.
  • yang tangan tempat muscle tu, humerus. humorous. get it? IM SUPPOSED TO BE SKINNY BUT MY ARMS ARE BIG.. SO ITS HUMERUS. HAHA.
  • Dekat tangan. yang hujung jari = phalanges. dekat wrist? not to sure - carpals. then radius. ulna
  • Lower limb = kaki ;
  • femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
welcome to the real world now.. that was just a warm up
  • nose, ears, the soft discs between the vertebrae are just cartilage.
  • skeleton has two
-axial skeleton
-appendicular skeleton

AXIAL SKELETON
SKULL, VERTEBRAL COLLUM, STERNUM, RIBS.

SKULL
- 8 cranial
- 14 facial
= 22 bones.
  • Cranial bones protect the brain ( got sutures)
  • Facial bones protect and supports the entrace (mouth, makan guna mulut so entrance ah) digestive and respiratory system.
  • bones make up the skull are held up by tadaa, sutures.
  • he lower jaw is the only movable part.
RIBS AND STERNUM ( thoracic cage)
- got 12 ribcage.
  • thoracic cage encloses and protects the organs in the thoracic cavity and upper abdominal cavity.sternum is flat, narrow bone, located at the centre. (tarzan go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~)
Ok ni last, then sleeping time -

VERTEBRAL COLLUM
- overall got 33 bones.
  • it is also called the spine/backbone.
  • functions
-Supports the head
- encloses and protect spinal cord
- dia unite ribs, pelvic girdle and muscles at the back.

  • 7 cervical vertebrae (neck region)
  • 12 thoracic vertebrae (upperback)
  • 5 lumbar vertebrae(lowerback)
  • 5 sacral ver (sacrum) ( bila buat sit ups tulang ni ha yang sakit)
  • 4 caudal ver. (coccyx)
cervical, thoracic and lumbar - movable. others arent movable.
  • in between the vertebrae got intervertebrae discs , permits various movements and absorb shock. made up of cartilage.
OK TOMORROW BACA NI CEPAT CEPAT. then habis kan locomotion.


Just a 'warm' welcome

Just incase, you end up here which I have no idea how the hell did you find this blog -

Mm, anything that is SPM related, I'll post it here. I hope whatever that I've typed, gets into my head and stays there. It's almost 4 and I'm just about to open my book. To try and study.

I HOPE I CAN FINISH HALF A CHAPTER BY TODAY.

One step at a time.
