Answer» 1. Movement and Locomotion Movement: - Movement is the act of changing the place or position by one or more parts of the body.
- It can either be voluntary or involuntary.
- A movement takes place at the biological level.
- Movement requires energy.
Locomotion: - Locomotion is the movement of an organism from one place to another.
- It is always voluntary.
- Locomotion takes place at the organism level.
- Locomotion doesn’t necessarily require energy.
2. Endoskeleton and Exoskleton Endoskeleton: - It is the skeleton found inside the body.
- It originals from mesoderm.
- Example: Human beings.
Exoskleton: - It is the skeleton found on the exterior layer of the body.
- It originals from embryonic ectoderm or mesoderm.
- Example: Scales of fish feathers of birds
3. Pectoral and Pelvic girdle Pectroal girdle: - It is situated in the shoulder region.
- It gives articulation to forelimbs.
- The shoulder blade and collar bone remain separate.
- They are comparatively lighter.
Pelvic girdle: - It is situated in the hip region.
- It gives articulation to legs or hind limb.
- Three bones (ilium, ischium and pubis) are fused to form a single hip bone.
- They are strong to take upto lot of stress.
4. Ball and socket Joint and Hinge Joint Ball and socket Joint: - A ball shaped head of one bone articulates with a cup like socket of an adjacent bone.
- Movement can occur in three planes. This joint allows the greatest range of movement.
- Example: Shoulder, Hip
Hinge Joint: - A cylindrical protrusion of one bone articulates with a trough-shaped depression of an adjacent bone.
- Movement is restricted to one plane. This joint allows bending and straightening only.
- Example: Elbow Knee Ankle
5. Voluntary and Involuntary muscle: Voluntary muscle: - They are striated (Multinucleate muscles and unbranched) muscles.
- They are attached to bones.
- Example: found in arms, legs
- They are used as per our will.
Involuntary muscle: - They are non – striated (Single muscle, central nucleus) muscles.
- They are attached to soft parts of the body like blood vessels, Iris, Skin etc.
- They are not under our control.
