Anatomy Semester II Final Flashcards
The neurotransmitter released by nerve cells to cause muscle contraction
Acetylcholine
An involuntary muscle contraction of muscles that are normally under voluntary control is known as
Twitch
The contractile unit of muscle which contains thick and thin filaments is called a
Sarcomere
What ions are released from the SR to cause a muscle to contract
Calcium
Which connective tissue surrounds the bundles (fascicles) of 10-100 muscle cells
Paramyosin
After an action potential runs across the sarcolemma it will then travel down to the
T-tubule
The thin filament is made up of what three proteins
Troponin, Actin, tropomyosin
Describe three sources of ATP production within a muscle
- direct phosphorylation
- Anaerobic (glycolysis + lactic acid)
- Aerobic (cellular respiration needs oxygen)
What are the 4 parts of a twitch contraction
- latent
- contraction
- relaxation
4.refractory (muscle unable to respond to stimuli temporarily)
Movement of limb toward the body midline
Adduction
Combination movement and the proximal end if limb is stationary and the distal end moves in a circle
Circumduction
A movement that decreases the angle of the join and brings two bones closes together
Flexion
Movement of a limb away from the midline of the body
Abduction
Movement that increases the angle between two bones and moves them further apart
Extension
Responsible for the production of Myelin Sheath in CNS
Oligodendrocytes
Supports the cell body
Satelite
Responsible for Phagocytosis
Microglia
Form BBB by covering capillaries and metabolize neurotransmitters
Astrocytes
Responsible for the production of myelin sheath in PNS
Schwann
Circulates/produce cerebrospinal fluid
Ependymal
During action potential, ion channels open, NA+ rushes in ______ and K+ rushed out _____
Depolarization and Repolarization
The progressive destruction of myelin sheaths of neurons in the CNS result in the short circuiting of nerve impulses. This leads to muscular weakness and abnormal sensations in which diseases?
Parkinson’s and M.S
The space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron is called a
Synapse
Cells of the nervous system which supports the neurons by producing myelin sheaths, and attaching neurons to blood vessels are called
Neuroglial cells
Cranial Nerve V, _______ controls mastication (chewing)
trigeminad
What lobe of your brain regulates vision
occipital lobe
Functions such as thirst, hunger, anger, and body temperature are regulated by
Hypothalamus
Which part of the brain is considered the respiratory, cardiovascular and reflex center (coughing, sneezing)
Medulla Oblongata
The grooves of the brain are called
Sulci
This type of paralysis is described as loss of motor function on one side only
Hemiplegia
How many spinal nerves must be anesthetized in order to block all sensory input
