Chondrocyte
Cell that secretes cartilage matrix
Lacuna
“Lake” that surrounds chondrocyte
Osteocytes
Structural unit of bone tissue
Rings around Haversian canal; also in lacunae
Canaliculi
Small canals that contain extensions of osteocytes
Cracks in between osteocytes
Haversian canal
Central canal of bone matrix
Ossified matrix
Bone matrix
Ca3(PO4)2
Intercalated disks
Cardiac muscle cell-cell junctions
Appear as dark bands in cardiac muscle tissue
Stratum corneum
Outermost layer of epidermis
Dead skin

P wave
Electrical stimulation of aorta
First wave on EKG
QRS wave
Conduction of signal through and contraction of ventricles
Electrical signal goes back up Purkinje fibers
Main spike on EKG
T wave
Cells in ventricle are electrically “reset” in preparation for next heartbeat
Wave to the right of QRS in EKG
Tidal volume (TV)
Amount of air inspired or expired during normal, quiet respiration
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
Amount of air that can be forcefully taken in following a normal inspiration
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Amount of air that can be forcefully expired following a normal expiration
Residual volume (RV)
Amount of air that remains trapped in lungs after maximum expiration
Vital capacity (VC)
Maximum amount of air that can be forcefully expired after a maximal inspiration
Sum of IRV, TV, and ERV
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
Maximum amount of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
Amount of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration
Total lung capacity (TLC)
Total amount of air lungs can hold
Sum of TV, IRV, ERV, and RV
