NURSING ANATOMY PAPER 1. SHORT ESSAY
Question 1:
Q: What are the main functions of the skeletal system?
A: The skeletal system has several critical functions:
1. Support: It provides structural support for the entire body.
2. Protection: It protects vital organs, such as the brain,
heart, and lungs.
3. Movement: It serves as the attachment points for
muscles, enabling movement.
4. Mineral Storage: It stores minerals, particularly calcium
and phosphorus, which can be released into the
bloodstream as needed.
5. Blood Cell Production: It contains bone marrow, which
produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Question 2:
Q: Describe the anatomical structure of a neuron and its
function.
A: A neuron, or nerve cell, has three main parts:
1. Cell Body (Soma): Contains the nucleus and cytoplasm;
responsible for maintaining the life of the cell.
2. Dendrites: Branch-like structures that receive messages
from other neurons and conduct them toward the cell
body.
3. Axon: A long, singular extension that transmits impulses
away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or
glands.
