37
Q

Thrombocyte function?

A

Accumulates at open wounds and secretes sticky substance attracting more platelets. temporary clot
Fibrin Fibers gather and more platelets and blood cells trapped: effective clot

38
Q

What is muscle?

A

organs that by contraction bring about body movement

39
Q

what is muscle contractibility and how does contraction work?

A

Ability of muscle to get shorter and thicker. Motor end plate transfers nervous impulse to muscle fiber. Actin and myosin get closer together, sarcomere smaller, myofibril smaller, fiber smaller and muscle contract.

40
Q

What does the strength of muscle contraction depend on?

A

The amount of fibers that are stimulated

41
Q

Difference between Voluntary and involuntary muscle? and types

Voluntary controlled by CNS and by will and involuntary by autonomic and not by will

47
Q

Location: walls of heart

48
Q

What does Pacemaker mean?

A

nerves that supply heart with impulse to contract according to bodies needs

49
Q

What is antagonistic muscle?

A

When one muscle contracts, the other relaxes which brings about movement.

50
Q

What does nervous tissue do?

A

allow nervous impulse to move throughout body

51
Q

Structure of nervous tissue? (3 types)

A

Unipolar- one fiber attached to cell body which divides
Bipolar- 2 fibers attached to body
Multipolar- many fibers attached to cell body

52
Q

Neuron Structure (12)

A

Cell membrane
cell body
Nucleus
Dendrite: conduct impulse to body
Nissl granules: Ribosomes for protein synthesis
Schwann cells: surround and nourish axon
Myelin sheath: Fused Schwann cells(fatty) that allow impulse to travel faster and stop jumping to next axon
node of Ranvier: gaps
allow impulse between nodes and allow substances to diffuse to axon
neurilemma: outer sheath that protects axon
axon: conduct nerve impulse from cell body to terminal branches
nucleus
Synaptic knobs: Allow impulse to move to next neuron

53
Q

CNS vs PNS?

A

CNS- concentrated inter nueron mass (brain and spinal cord)
PNS peripheral… neurons that connect cns to receptor and effector

54
Q

How are nerves formed?

A

Neurons imbedded in endoneurium
surrounded by perineurium( blood vessels)
small nerves bundled by Epineurium

55
Q

What is reflex arc?

A

Pathway of nervous impulse allowing for reflex action (functional)

56
Q

How does Reflex arc work?

A
  1. Receptor- generates impulse
  2. Sensory neuron: unipolar and conducts nervous impulse from receptor to cns
  3. connector neuron: multipolar and transfers nervous impulse from sensory to motor neuron
  4. Motor Neuron: transfer impulse from cns to Effector
  5. Effector: brings about change
57
Q

What is nerve impulse?

A

wave of depolarization along nerve fiber due to stimulation

58
Q

How does nerve impulse work?

A

Resting is difference of (Na and K membrane) outside + and inside-= polarized
Acting: Stimulation of physical or chemical change result in depolarized reversal of charges. all or nothing response if strength of depolarization reach threshold potential then burst of electrical energy along nerve fiber.
Polarized by proteins straight after

59
Q

What is synapse?

A

communication between neurons or neuron and effector

60
Q

How does synapse work?

A

Nerve impulse burst vesicles with acetylcholine(neurotransmitter) in presynaptic membrane. through synaptic cleft and onto post synaptic membrane by molecules. Relays electrical impulse onto cell body. acetylcholine destroyed by enzymes to prevent merge of impulses.

61
Q

Importance of synapse? (3)

A
  1. Dispersal of impulse to different neurons.
  2. Allow impulse in only one direction
  3. Block out unnecessary stimuli as not fast enough
