Ch 38 pt 2 Flashcards
Structural Joints
Firbous
Syndesmoses
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Fibrous Joints
With fibrous connective tissue
No cavity or space, therefore no movement
Ex: Sutures of skull
Cartilaginous Joints
Synochondroses - hyaline cartilage and epiphyseal plate
Symphyses - hyaline covers, fibrocarilatge connects
No cavity or space, and very little movement
Ex: Vertebrae
Syndesmoses Joints
Bands of connective tissues
No cavity or space, but there is some movement
Move length of connective tissue
Ex: Tibia and Fibia - ankle, Gomphoses and teeth
Synovial Joints
Description of joints
Space between bones
Synovial cavity and fluid
Fluid lubricates joint
Ends of bone covered in hyaline and articular cartilage
Synovial Joints in Detail
List of types
Pivot - atlas-axis
Hinge - elbow
Saddle - carpal/metacarpal
Plane - ankle
Condyloid - radius, carpals
Ball and Socket - hip
Muscle types
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Skeletal Muscle
“voluntary” movement
Striated, multinucleate
Cardiac Muscle
Self initiating
Started, uninucleate
Found near heart only
Smooth Muscle
“Involuntary” movement
Walls of organs
Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
Bundles of muscle fibers (cable-like)
Muscle fiber (cell) - multinucleate
Myofibril and Myofilaments (gets progressively smaller units)
Neuromuscular Synapse
Action Potential
Ca+ channels
Exocytosis [releasing ACh] Na+ channels
T-tubule -> depolarizes
Sacroplasmic Recticulum
Ca+ pumps
Ca2+
Opens channel on presynaptic cell
Exocytosis
Ca2+ causes ACh to be released
ACh binds to Na+ (postsynaptic cell, on muscle fiber)
Sacroplasmic Reticulum
Stores Ca2+
