Level#1

Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones.

1. What are bones attached to that allow you to move?





2. What type of muscles can you control so that you can move?





3. How do voluntary muscles work to allow you to move your skeleton?





4. What does Atticus do for a job?









Level#2


Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts, or shortens. When a muscle relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones.

1. Explain how skeletal muscle allows you to move.





2. Explain what happens when a muscle moves and what happens when it relaxes.





3. Skeletal muscles can only pull. Explain how they move bones?





4. What STATE does "To Kill A Mockingbird" take place in?

Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones. For example, the upper arm has the biceps and triceps muscles. The biceps muscle is the muscle in the front of your upper arm. The triceps muscle is in the back of your upper arm. The two muscles work together when you move your arm.

1. Explain what type of muscles skeletal muscles are, what they can do, and what a muscle does when it moves.








2. Since muscles can only pull, explain how muscles work to move bones and give an example of a pair of muscles that do this.

Level#1

Nearly one-and-a-half million people have joint replacements each year. Doctors use an artificial joint to replace the damaged joints. Most common are hip and knee replacements. Artificial joints generally wear out within ten years.

1. What can you do if you have a damaged joint that no longer works?





2. Which joints are the most likely to be replaced?





3. How long do artificial joints generally last?





4. What is the name of Scout's brother?







Level#2

Nearly one-and-a-half million people have joint replacements each year. Doctors use an artificial joint to replace the damaged joints. Most common are hip and knee replacements. Artificial joints generally wear out within ten years. Bone cement fixation is one method used for joint replacement. The artificial joint is placed between two bones. Bone cement sets it in place. The new joint is designed to function like the natural joint. In another method, bone cement is not used. The artificial joint and the bone are designed to fit and lock together exactly.

1. How many joint replacements are done a year and which ones are the most commonly replaced?





2. What is bone cement fixation and how is it done?





3. What is the other method of joint replacement and how is it done?

Artificial joints may not be needed in he future. Recently, engineers at the University of California have developed an artificial tissue that works like real cartilage. This tissue may help repair injured or arthritic joints. The artificial tissue may also be able to bring back flexibility to people with damaged joints.

1. Explain what the bone fixation method involves, how it is done, and what it allow the new joint to do.






2. Why is it that artificial joints won't be needed in the future?






3. In the future what could artificial tissue do for people with damaged joints?
