Q

Nervous tissue

A

Nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain; works to receive, interpret, and respond to signals. ( has a bunch of purple dots all around the picture and also has this oddly weird circular and abnormal shape that is purple and connects to all the dots)

Q

muscle tissue

A

looks like a bunch of purple quinoa grains with white in between the purple. Striated muscle tissue, also known as skeletal muscle tissue, is attached to bones. Smooth muscle tissue is in the walls of internal organs. Cardiac muscle tissue is in the walls of the heart, where it provides the ability to contract.

(skeletal, connective, adipose)

25
connective tissue
( IT IS THE ALL RED PICTURE) supports and connects other tissue types in the body. It is attached to and in between other tissue types in the body. Adipose tissue (fat) is a type of connective tissue.
26
ligament
tendon
27
blood
body fluid and brings oxygen to nutrients
28
bone
cartilage
29
mandible
the jaw bone
30
maxilla
above teeth below nose
31
nasal bone
like before your eybrows that little retical rectangular section
32
frontal bone
front cap
33
sphenoid bone
inside eye socket
34
parietal bone
top back cap sepparated into left and right
35
temporal bone
right where your ears are but expanded just a bit
36
occipital bone
lower back of head
37
zygomatic bone
right beneath the eye socket
38
orbicularis oculi muscle
surrounding the eye socket , about an in thick all around
39
orbicularis oris muscle
surrounding the mouth , about an in thick all around
40
temporalis muscle
left and right temporalis looks like a shark tooth that was plastered where your ear is and is elongated to the occipital and the front cap
41
skeletal system
organ system composed of bones and cartilage
42
compact bone
dense osseous tissue that can withstand compressive forces ( its inside the bone ;the larger surface is covered)
43
spongy bone aka cancellous bone
the circular things in the bones; trabeculated osseous tissue that support ...
44
long bone
cyilindar shaped bone that is longer that it is wide ; can be found in the femur
45
short bone
cubed shaped bone that is approx equal in length,width etc ( carpals, toes)
46
sesamoid bone ( also part of the short bone)
small round bone embedded in a tendon ( patellar)
47
flat bones
thin and curved bone ; swerves as a point of attachment ( the sternum)
48
irregular bone
bone of complex shape; thoracic vertebra
49
Diaphysis
tubular shaft that runs between proximal and distal the longest part ( A)
50
periosteum
fibered membrane covering the outer surface of bone; the bottom long part but not the bottom bottom
51
perforating fibers aka sharpeys fibers
a matrix of connective tissue consisting of bundles of strong cancellous fibers ( that weird flap with spikes)
52
Epiphyses
wide section at the end of the long bone and start
53
articular cartilage
the thin line surround the bone
54
epiphyseal line
ossified from the plate
55
epiphyseal plate
growth plate/ that strip of white
56
stapes
middle of ear
57
hyoid bone
back of tounge/ top of throat
58
true ribs false ribs floating ribs
1-7 8-10 11-12
59
medullary cavity
the space inside the bone
60
trabeculae
spikes of sections / funky actual pieces
61
central canals
contains blood vesels (aka haversian canal;)
62
osteocyte
a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted.
63
Muscle Contraction: Action Potential on T-Tubule
After acetylcholine attaches to its receptors on the sarcolemma, the muscle fibers become more positively charged. This generates an action potential that travels along the sarcolemma and into the transverse (T) tubules.
64
Muscle Contraction: Calcium Release
As the action potential travels along the T-tubules, calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
65
Muscle Contraction: Troponin Binding
Calcium binds to troponin on the actin filaments of muscle fibers. This signals tropomyosin to move out of the myosin binding sites on actin.
66
Muscle Contraction: Powerstroke
Energized myosin heads, with an attached ADP molecule and phosphate group, bind to the open myosin binding sites on actin. This forms the actin-myosin cross-bridge. After the cross-bridge forms, the myosin head rotates towards the center of the sarcomere. As it rotates, the myosin releases its ADP and phosphate. This action slides the thin actin past the thick filament, creating the power stroke.
67
Muscle Contraction: Actin-Myosin Detachment
After the power stroke, the actin-myosin cross-bridge remains intact until an ATP molecule binds to the myosin head. After ATP attaches to myosin, the myosin detaches from actin.
