Assignment 2: Musculo-Skeletal System 1. Review of structures.

Differentiate the structures below and give examples of organisms where you can find these structures o Cillia o Flagellum o Pseudopods 2. What are the structures that give form and protection in plants? 3. How do organisms overcome friction and gravity? Give examples of organisms specialization. 4. What are the different types of skeletons function in support, protection and movement? 5. How do muscles contract? Make an illustration or a flow chart of the process. 6. Give the structure and function of the vertebrate muscle (SKELETAL MUSCLE) 7. What is the sliding-filament model of muscle contraction? Discuss how it happens. You may use illustrations or diagrams. 8. How do calcium ions and regulatory proteins control muscle contraction? 9. What are the two types of muscle fibers based on the length of its twitch? Please describe each type. 10. Differentiate smooth and cardiac muscles. Please try to research for substantial differences of the types of muscles. 11.
