Questions and Answers
1.
The body system that covers, shapes, and supports the skeleton tissue. It contracts and moves various parts of the body.
A.
Skeletal system
B.
Nervous system
C.
Integumentary system
D.
Circulatory system
E.
Muscular system
Correct Answer
E. Muscular system
Explanation The muscular system is responsible for covering, shaping, and supporting the skeleton tissue. It is made up of muscles that contract and move various parts of the body. The skeletal system provides the framework for the muscles to attach to and work together to enable movement and provide support. The nervous system plays a role in controlling muscle movement, but it does not directly cover, shape, or support the skeleton tissue. The integumentary system is responsible for protecting the body from external factors and does not have a direct role in supporting the skeleton. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting blood and nutrients throughout the body and does not directly cover or support the skeleton. Therefore, the muscular system is the correct answer.

Correct Answer
A. Nonstriated muscles

Rate this question:
5.
__________ muscle is the involuntary muscle that is the heart. This type of muscle is not found in any other part of the body.
Correct Answer Cardiac
Explanation Cardiac muscle refers to the involuntary muscle that makes up the heart. This type of muscle is unique to the heart and is not found in any other part of the body. It is responsible for the continuous contraction and relaxation of the heart, allowing it to pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle is striated, meaning it has a striped appearance, similar to skeletal muscle, but its involuntary nature sets it apart from skeletal muscle.

6.
A muscle has three parts.
A.
True
B.
False
Correct Answer
A. True

A.
Insertion
B.
Origin
C.
Belly
Correct Answer
