Ch1 - Structures Flashcards
The dark-colored area where the protein filament myosin occurs.
A-band
The thin, dark, filament of contractile protein.
Actin
The thick, light, filament of contractile protein.
Myosin
A nerve carrying a message to the central nervous system.
Afferent Nerve
Several terms commonly used to describe features or locations of the body.
Anatomical Landmark
Material that covers the very ends of each bone’s epiphysis.
Articular Cartilage
The part of the condyle that articulates with another bone.
Articular Surface
The place where two or more bones join together.
Articulation
Conducts the nerve impulse from the body to the muscle fibers.
Axon
A diarthrodial joint that consists of a rounded head of one bone that fits into a cup- like cavity of another bone.
Ball-and-socket joint
A joint that permits movement in two planes, about two axes.
Biaxial joint
The dark-colored area where the protein filament myosin occurs.
A-band
The thin, dark, filament of contractile protein.
