Ch 5 pt 5 Flashcards
Bone Type 1.
Compact bone
Osteons
Cylindrical structures
Concentric rings of bone CT called
lamellae
Lamellae encircle central canal
Bone type 2 (Spongy bone)
Located in interior of bone
Latticework structure, strong and lightweight
Erythrocytes
(RBCs) transport respiratory gases
Leukocytes
(WBCs) protect against infection
Platelets
help clot blood
plasma
Liquid ground substance is called
Muscle tissue
Cells contract (shorten) when stimulated
Contraction causes movement
Voluntary and involuntary movement of skeleton
Involuntary contraction of heart
Propulsion of material through digestive and urinary tracts
3 types of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Skeletal muscle tissue
Moves skeleton
Does not contract unless stimulated by somatic nervous system
Voluntary (with some involuntary reflexes)
Skeletal muscle fibers
Long cylindrical cells Arranged in parallel bundles that run length of entire muscle
Multinucleated
Striations
Alternating light and dark bands
Cardiac muscle tissue
In heart. Contraction pumps blood
Involuntary
Pacemaker cells initiate contraction
Visible striations
Cells short and often branched
One or two nuclei
