6th Class Science 12th Lesson Movement and Locomotion 4 Mark Important Questions and Answers

Question 1.
How do you observe the shoulder muscles?
Answer:
Make a fist with one hand, bend your arm at the elbow and touch your shoulder with the fist.

Also, touch your upper arm with the other hand, you feel a swollen region inside your upper arm. This is muscle.
The muscle bulges due to contraction.
When the muscle is contracted it becomes shorter, stiffer, and thicker.

 

Question 2.
Is it possible to move your parts without moving muscles? Why?
Answer:
It is not possible to move the body parts without moving muscles.
Muscles are fleshy structures that cause movement.
These are attached to one another and perform contraction and relaxation.
By these contractions, bones are pulled in that direction that makes the movement.

Question 3.
How do Muscles work?
Answer:

1. Muscles work in pairs.
   
2. When one of them contracts, the bone is pulled in that direction and the other muscle of the pair relaxes.
3. To move the bone in the opposite direction, the relaxed muscle contracts and the first one relaxes.
4. Thus two muscles have to work together to move a bone.

Question 4.
What is Tendon? What is its role in our body?
Answer:
Some muscles have round, white, and rope-like fibers at their ends that connect them to the bone.
These fibrous structures are called Tendons.

You can feel the tendons in several parts of your body like; above the elbow, beneath the knee, near the ankle.
They have a key role in body movements to pull the bones.
These also help muscles to attach to the bones.

Question 5.
What is Skeleton System? What is its importance?
Answer:

1. The different bones of different parts of the body combine together to form a single structure or system. This structure is called the skeleton.
2. The skeletal system provides base and shape to our body.
3. It provides protection to internal organs.
4. It also help in blood formation.

 

Question 6.
What is a ligament? What is its use?
Answer:
Two bones are joined together in a special way by fibers. These fibers are called ligaments These helps in bones connection and body movements.

Question 7.
How we are without a skeleton.
Answer:

1. It’s funny to imagine our body without a skeleton.

6th Class Science 12th Lesson Movement and Locomotion 8 Mark Important Questions and Answers

Question 1.
There are other ways in which snakes move. Try to find out about them. Collect those pictures, information and display them on wall magazine.
Answer:
Snakes have four ways of moving around. Since they don’t have legs they use their muscles and their scales to do the “walking”.

• Serpentine method: This motion is what most people think of when they think of snakes. Snakes will push off of any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc., to get going. They move in a wavy motion. They would not be able to move over slick surfaces like glass at all. This movement is also known as lateral undulation.
  
• Concertina method: This is a more difficult way for the snake to move but is effective in tight spaces.
  The snake braces the back portion of their body while pushing and extending the front portion. Then the snake drops the front portion of their body and straightens and pulls the back portion along. It is almost like they threw themselves forward.

 

Question 2.
Write about movable joints in Human beings?
Answer:
Movable joints are four types. They are:

1. Ball-and-socket joint: The ball-shaped surface of one bone fits into the cup-like shape of another. Examples of a ball-and-socket joint include the hip and the shoulder.
2. Hinge joint: The ends of the bones are shaped in a way that allows motion in two directions, forward and backward. Examples of hinge joints are the knees and elbows
3. Pivot joint: Only allows rotating movement. The joint that joins the skull to the backbone is called the pivot or neck joint.
4. Gliding joint: It is a joint which allows only gliding movement. The gliding joint allows one bone to slide over the other. The gliding joint in your wrist allows you to flex your wrist. It also allows you to make very small side-to-side motions. There are also gliding joints in your ankles and backbone.

Question 3.
How the fish swim in the water?
Answer:

1. The body of the fish is streamlined.
2. The shape is such that it allows the fish to move in water easily.
3. The skeleton of the fish is covered with strong muscles.
   
4. While swimming, muscles make the front part of the body swing towards one side while the tail swings its body towards the opposite side.
5. This creates a jerk and pushes the body forward.
6. A series of such jerks help the fish swim forward.
7. The tail fins also aid in this movement.

Question 4.
Write about different types of Locomotion and their Locomotory Organs in a tabular manner.
Answer:
Animals show different types of locomotion with their locomotory organs. Those are:

Locomotion	Animals	Locomotary Organ	Discription
1. Swim	Fish	Fins	Fins and spindle body helps to fish in swimming.
2. Fly	Birds	Wings	Birds have strong feathered wings to fly.
3. Crawl	Snakes	Scales	Snakes crawl with scales that are present at bottom of the body.
4. Walk	Man	Legs	Animals use four legs to walk, but humans two.
