the long term effects are hyaline cartilage increasing to reduce friction between the bones, also mineral contents increases such as collagen and calcium minerals. also your ligaments will become more flexible and you will become more supple.

P. What is the combination of the skeletal and muscular systems called?

The combination of the skeletal and muscular systems is called the musculoskeletal system. This system is responsible for providing structure, support, and movement to the body.


What two systems work together to produce movement?

The muscular system and the skeletal system work together to produce movement. Muscles contract and pull on bones, causing them to move at the joints. The skeletal system provides structure and support for the muscles to generate movement.


What body systems would be affected by degeneration or cartilage in joints?

Degeneration of cartilage in joints primarily affects the musculoskeletal system, leading to conditions like osteoarthritis. Over time, this can impact other systems such as the nervous system due to pain and limited mobility, as well as potentially affecting the cardiovascular system if inactivity leads to poor circulation.


How do the muscular and skeletal systems collaborate to support movement and maintain the body's structure?

The muscular and skeletal systems work together to support movement and maintain the body's structure. Muscles attach to bones via tendons, allowing them to contract and pull on the bones, causing movement. The skeletal system provides a framework for muscles to attach to and supports the body's weight. Together, these systems enable us to move and carry out daily activities.


Are locomotion and heat production part of the skeleton system?

No, locomotion and heat production are not part of the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides structural support, protection, and aids in movement, but locomotion and heat production involve other systems such as the muscular and respiratory systems.
