Level#1
Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connect muscles to bones or to other muscles. Your body has more than 600 muscles. Almost half your body weight is muscle weight.
1. How are your bones able to move?
2. What are tendons?
3. About how many muscles does your body have?
Level#2
Your bones cannot move on their own. They move because they are attached to muscles. Tendons are a type of tissue that connect muscles to bones or to other muscles. Your body has more than 600 muscles. Almost half your body weight is muscle weight. There are three kinds of muscle tissue in your body: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle move your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones.
1. What type of tissue are tendons and what do they do?
2. How many muscles does your body have and how much of your body weight is muscle?
3. How many types of muscle tissue does your body have and what are their names?
Level#3

Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle move your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. Smooth muscles are involuntary. They work whether you want them to or not. They work even when you are sleeping. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of your blood vessels and intestines. Smooth muscles are not attached to bones. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary muscle found in your heart. Cardiac muscle works all the time. It keeps your heart beating.
1. What type of tissue connects muscle to bone or other muscles?
2. How many kinds of muscle tissue are there and what are they called?
3. Name the type of muscle that is voluntary and explain how it helps you to move.

Level#1
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscles moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones.
1. What are skeletal muscles attached to?
2. What type of muscles are skeletal muscles and how are they controlled?
3. How are voluntary muscles able to move?
Level#2
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscles 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. They cannot push. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones.
1. How do voluntary muscles move your skeleton?
2. What does a muscle do when it moves and what does it do when it relaxes?
3. Why do voluntary muscles need to work in pairs or teams of two?
Level#3
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscles 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. They cannot push. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. 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 how skeletal muscles allow you to move and what happens to them when they do?
2. Skeletal muscles pull and cannot push, so how do they do the job of moving bones?
3. Where is the biceps muscle found and where is the triceps muscle found?

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.

2. What do doctors use to replace damaged joints?
3. Which are the most common joints to be replaced?
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 in not used. The artificial joint and the bone are designed to fit and lock together exactly.

Artificial joints may not be needed in the 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.
