42
Q

Smooth muscle

A

Smooth, spindle shaped fibers. Involuntary, bladder. Helps move food, helps move blood.

43
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

Long cylinders with 2 nucleus. Voluntary, biceps. Allows for strength and movement

44
Q

Cardiac muscle

A

Branched, wave-like intercalated discs at the end of the fibers. Involuntary, heart. Pump blood through the body.

45
Q

Excitability

A

Has the ability to recieve electrical impulses

46
Q

Elasticity

A

Ability to come back after being stretched

47
Q

Extensibility

A

Ability to be stretched/extend

48
Q

Contractibility

A

The ability to contract

49
Q

Amphiarthrotic

A

slightly moveable

50
Q

Synathrotic

A

Not moveable

51
Q

Diarthrotic

A

Ability to move completely

52
Q

Red marrow

A

Ends of the bone. Soft tissue full of stem cells that produce: red blood cells, most white blood cells, and platelets

53
Q

Medullary cavity

A

Hollow space inside the shaft. Filled with yellow marrow.

54
Q

compact bone

A

Has few spaces. Much heavier/stronger than spongy bone. Makes up the middle/shaft of the bone.

55
Q

Periosteum

A

A membrane made of connective tissue that covers the outside of the bone. Vascular=blood
Full of bone-growing cells - width

56
Q

Articular cartilage

A

Found on the end of the bone. Protects the ends of our bones from: Friction and shock. It does not repair easily (piercings). Losing cartilage is called arthritis.

57
Q

Spongy bone

A

Type of bone found in the ends of our bones. Light weight. Has pockets/spaces in it filled with red marrow.

58
Q

Ossification

A

Bone formation

59
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

Blood production

60
Q

Spiral

A

Bone segments are pulled apart as a result of twisting forces/movements

61
Q

Impacted

A

One fragment is driven into the other, usually as a result of compression. (Straight break)

62
Q

Comminuted

A

Several break reasult in small pieces that broke from 2 large segments.

63
Q

Greenstick

A

Partial fracture in which only one side of the bone is broken

64
Q

Compound

A

Atleast one end of the bone tears through the skin; high risk of infection

65
Q

Simple

A

Skin remains intact

66
Q

What characteristics do the inorganic salt crystals give bone?

A

Strength

67
Q

What characteristics do the collagen fibers give bone?

A

Flexibility

68
Q

A

Develops into osteoblsats

69
Q

Osteoclasts

A

Bone resorption

70
Q

Osteoblasts

A

Bone formation

71
Q

Endomysium

A

The membrane that surrounds the individual muscle fibers

72
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

Arranged in bundles called fascicles

73
Q

Epimysium

A

The outermost membrane of skeletal muscle

74
Q

A

(muscle cells) Made of many myofibrils

75
Q

Perimysium

A

The membrane that surround the individual fascicles

76
Q

Fascicle

A

Bundles of muscle fibers/cells

77
Q

Sarcomere

A

Functional unit of the skeletal muscle (whole thing)

78
Q

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

A

The little web thing inside the sarcomere

79
Q

Z line

A

The lines outside of the myosin that touch the actin

80
Q

Actin filament

A

The thin/dark lines that get pulled by the myosin

81
Q

Myofibril

A

The little things that look like sausages/straws inside the sarcomere

82
Q

Myosin filament

A

The thick/light lines that pull the actin

83
Q

Cross bridge

A

When myosin connects to the actin

84
Q

Myosin

A

The think lines

85
Q

Actin

A

The thin circles/lines

86
Q

Power stroke

A

When the myosin pulls the actin

87
Q

ATP’s role in muscle contraction

A

The fuel for muscle contraction

88
Q

Calcium ions role in muscle contractions

A

Calcium connects to the troposin and gets rid of it allowing for the myosin heads to connect to the actin which then results in muscle contraction

89
Q

The purpose of meuromuscular junction
