Q

Depolarization and muscle cells leads to what action?

A

Depolarization spreads down the sarcolemma to the T tubules and triggers release of calcium ions.

22
Q

Calcium binds to what to expose the myosin binding sites on the actin thin filament?

A

Binds to troponin which causes tropomyosin to expose the myosin binding site.

23
Q

Myosin binding to what molecule allows for the binding and release of myosin to the actin filament?

A

ATP

24
Q

What causes the relaxation of muscles?

A

Muscle relaxes when acetylcholine is degraded by acetylcholinesterase. The signals and allows calcium to be brought back into the Sarco plasmic reticulum. ATP binds to the myosin head and it releases from actin.

25
Q

Frequency summation

A

Addition of multiple simple twitches before the muscle has an opportunity to fully relax

26
Q

Tetanus

A

A more prolonged and stronger contraction caused when simple twitches occur so frequently and do not allow the muscle to relax at all.

27
Q

How do cells reduce oxygen debt?

A

Muscle cells have additional energy reserves to avoid being in a situation where the amount of oxygen needed is more than the amount of oxygen present.

28
Q

Creatinine phosphate

A

Can you transfer a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP

29
Q

Myoglobin

A

A human containing proteins that is a muscular oxygen reserve

30
Q

What are the two divisions of the human skeletal system?

A

The axial and appendicular skeleton

31
Q

Axial skeleton

A

Consists of structures in the midline such as the skull vertebral column rib cage and hyoid bone

32
Q

Appendicular skeleton

A

Consist of the bones of the limbs the pectoral girdle and the pelvis.

33
Q

Where is bone derived from?

A

From embryonic mesoderm includes both compact and spongy types

34
Q

Compact bone

A

Provide strength and his dense

35
Q

Spongy or cancellous bone

A

Has the loudest like structure consisting of bony spy tools known as trabeculae. Cavities are filled with bone marrow.

36
Q

Long bones

A

Contain shafts called diaphysis that flare to form metaphyses and terminate in the epiphyses

37
Q

What part of the bone allows for linear growth of the bone?

A

The epiphyseal or growth plate within the epiphyses

38
Q

What is the layer of connective tissue that surrounds the bone

A

Periosteum

39
Q

Tendons versus ligaments

A

Tendons connect bones to muscles. Ligaments connect muscle to muscle

40
Q

Bone matrix

A

Where the strength of compact bone comes from. Contains both organic and inorganic components.

Organic components include collagen glycoproteins and other peptides. Inorganic components include calcium phosphate and hydroxide ions which harden together to form hydroxyapatite crystals

41
Q

Lamellae

A

Bone organized into concentric rings. Organize around a central Haversian or Volksmann canal. Structural unit known as an osteom.

42
Q

Where do osteocytes reside?

A

Between lamellar rings.

43
Q

Canaliculi

A

Connected with lacunae and allow for nutrient and waste transfer

44
Q

Osteoblasts

A

Build bone

45
Q

Osteoclasts

A

Reabsorb bone

46
Q

What hormone is involved in the reabsorption of bone/promotes osteoclasts activation.

A

Parathyroid hormone. Increases reabsorption of bone increases calcium and phosphate concentrations in the blood. Essentially breaks down bone

47
Q

Vitamin D’s role in the musculoskeletal system

A

Increases reabsorption of bone, increases turnover and subsequently the production of stronger bone

48
Q

Calcitonins role in the musculoskeletal system

A

Increases bone formation decreasing calcium concentrations in the blood

49
Q

Cartilage

A

A firm elastic material secreted by chondrocytes.

Matrix is called chondrin.

Avascular and not innervated

50
Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Development of fetal bones from cartilage.

51
Q

Intramembranous ossification

A

Formation of bone, example: the skull form directly from undifferentiated tissue (mesenchyme)

52
Q

Immovable joints

A

Joints that are fused together to form sutures or similar fibrous joints. Found primarily in the head where the anchor bones of the skull together. 

53
Q

Movable joints

A

Strengthen by ligaments and contain a synovial capsule. A layer of soft tissue secretes synovial fluid (into the synovium) which lubricates the movement of structures in the joint space.

54
Q

Antagonistic pairs of muscles

A

Muscles that serve opposite functions when one muscle contracts the other lengthens
