chapter 5 and 6 biology Flashcards
what are the facial bones
14 bones of the skull
Ethmoid
Frontal
Occipital
Parietal
Sphenoid
Temporal
maxilla
palatines
zygomatic
lacrimal
nasal
inferior nasal conchae
vomer
mandible
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
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
thin 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
contractile organelles found in the cytoplasm of muscle cells
myofibrils
refers to same tone the muscle shortens as it contracts and movement occurs
isotonic contraction
hyaline cartilage coverage the epiphysis of a bone at a joint
articular cartilage
movement that increases the angle of a joint
extension
air filled spaces within the maxillae on either side of the nasal cavity that are lined with mucous membrane; help lighten the skull
paranasal sinuses
