chapter 4 and 5 biology Flashcards
what are the facial bones
14 bones of the skull
maxillae
palatines
zygomatic
lacrimal
nasal
inferior nasal conchae
vomer
mandible
what are the concentric rings of bone matrix with lacuna between them
lamella
bone marrow that is the site of blood cell production
red marrow
one of the principal contractile found in muscle; makes up the thin filaments
actin
interlocking joint formed by the intersection of the two parietal bones at the midline of the skull
sagittal suture
movement of foot achieved by moving the sole of the foot medially
inversion
bone marking in the occipital bone allowing the spinal cord to attach to the brain stem; literally means large hole
foramen magnum
ankle bone; articulates with the tibia and calcaneus; allows plantar flexion
talus
the area separating the greater and lesser trochanters on the anterior aspect of the proximal femur
intertrochanteric line
the smallest contractile unit of muscle; extends from one z disc to the next z disc
sarcomere
bone that does not fit the long, short, or flat categories; mainly spongy bone with outer layers of compact bone
irregular bones
hip
vertebra
One of the principal contractile proteins found in muscle; makes up the thick filaments
myosin
the cuplike cavity on the lateral surface of the hip bone that receives the head of the femur; formed by fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones
acetabulum
repair tissue formed during bone remodeling “splint” composed of cartilage matrix, bony matrix, and collagen fibers
fibrocartilage callus
spinal curvatures in the cervical and lumbar regions that develop after birth
secondary curvatures
circular movement of a body part
circumduction
plate of hyaline cartilage in the epiphysis of a long bone that allows for growth in length
epiphyseal plate
the process of bone formation
ossification
composed of actin and regulatory proteins
think filaments
myosin filaments
thick filaments
curved flat bones that articulate with vertebrae posteriorly and may also articulate with the sternum or costal cartilage anteriorly; ribs help form the bony thorax
ribs
the smallest contractile unit of muscle; extends from one z disc to another
sacromere
lateral bony projection that originates at the vertebral arch; occur in pairs, one on each side
transverse process
creatine phosphate
a compound that transfers a phosphate group to ADP to regenerate ATP in muscle fibers
triangular bone of the pectoral girdle that articulates with the clavicle and humerus
scapula
elongated shaft of a long bone
diaphysis
paired facial bones that fuse to form the upper jaw and articulate with other facial bones except the mandible
maxillae
the C2 bone and the bone marking that is a pivot point for shaking the head no
axis -C2 vertebrae and dens is marking point
air filled spaces within the sphenoid bone that are lined with mucous membrane and serve to lighten the skull
sphenoidal sinuses
a chemical transmitter substance released by certain nerve endings
acetylcholine ACh
