Chapter Nine/Ten Flashcards
Articulations
Between two joints
-bone and cartilage
-bone and teeth
As mobility increases….
Stability decreases
Three classifications of joints
-fibrous
-cartilaginous
-synoural
Synorial
-very unstable and mobile
-separated by a joint cavity
-dense irregular tissue
Three accessory organs
Bursa, fat pad and tendons
Uniaxial
One plane/axes
Cartilaginous
-Immobile
-attached by cartilage
-no joint cavity
Types of cartilaginous
-synchondroses
-symphyses
Synchondroses
Hyaline cartilage
-helpful in determining age (eventually disappears)
Example: first rib and sternum
Symphyses
-fibrocartiledge and slight mobility
-resists compression and shock absorber
Example: pubic symphysis (adjusts in pregnancy)
Fibrous
-immobile
-no joint cavity
-prevents and restricts movement
Examples of fibrous (3)
-gomphoses
-sutures
-syndesmoses
Gomphoses
-held firmly in place by periodontal membrane
Example: teeth
Sutures
-shock absorber
Example: skull
Syndesmoses
-slight mobility
Example: tibia and fibula
Ligaments
Dense regular tissue
-intrinsic binding
-reinforces synorial joints
B2b
A joint cavity means
There is synouidal fluid
-movement and mobility
Biaxial
Two planes/axes
Multiaxial
Multiple plane/axes
Plane joint
Flat surface that slices
-side to side
-back to front
Example: intecarpal and tertarsal
Hinge joint
Bone fits into a depress
Example: elbow joint
Pivot joint
Bone fits into ring by other bone
Example: atlantoaxial
Saddle joint
Articulate saddle shape, fits into articulate saddle
Example: hip bone
Ball/socket joint
Bone fits into socket of other bone
Example: hip bone
Syntharthrosis
Immobile joint
Types of synarthrosis
-cartilaginous joint
-fibrous joint
Amphiarthrosis
Slightly mobile join
Diarthrosis
Freely mobile joint
-all are diarthroses
Condylar joint
Biaxial joints with an oval, convex surface on second bone
-back and forth
-side to side
Example: knuckles/fingers
Sarcrolemma
Regulates entry and exit of materials
-plasma membrane of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm
Metabolic processes for muscle fibre activities
-cytoplasm of muscle fibre
Sarcoplsdmic reticulum
Stores calcium ions (for contraction)
-smooth ER of muscle fibre
Terminal cisternae
Site of calcium ion release (promotes contraction)
-expanded ends of sarcoplasmic reticulum
Transverse tubule
Transports muscle impulse from sacrolemma throughout
-tubular extensions of sarcolemma
Myofibrils
Contain myofilaments that are responsible for muscle contraction
-cylindrical structure
Thick filament
Binds to thin filament causing contraction
-composed of myosin
Thin filament
Thick filaments bind to it and cause contraction
-composed of actin, troponin and tropomyosin
Actin
Binding site for myosin to shorten a sacromere
-contractile protein
Tropomyosin
Covers active sites, prevents myosin from bringing to actin when muscle fibre is at rest
-regulatory protein
Troponin
Moves the tropomyosin off active sites when calcium ions bind to subunits
-allows binding of myosin to actin
-regulatory protein
Connectin
Organizes the sarcomere, provides passive tension
Nebulin
Regulates length of thin filament
Dystrophin
Anchors myofribrils adjacent to sacrolemma
Does a typical muscle fibre contain mitochondria?
Yes
About 300 per muscle fibre
Triad
Two terminal cisternae and t-tubules
Myoblasts
Undifferentiated muscle cells, potential of becoming muscle fibre
Satellite cell
Myoblasts that do not fuse with muscle fibres during development
-like a red shirt of muscle fibre
Myofibrils consist of
Myofilaments
Spherical molecule of actin
G actin
F actin
Multiple strands of G actin
Myofibrils arranged in repeating microscopic cylindrical units
Sarcromeres
Z discs/lines function
Composed of specialized proteins that serve as anchors for thin filaments
I band
Extend from Z disc
-only thin filaments
-disappears at maximal shortening
A band
Central region of sarcomere
-contains entire thick filament
-does not change during muscle contraction
H zone
Central portion of the A band in resting sarcomere
-only thick filaments
-zone disappears during shortening
M line
Mesh work structure within the Center of the H zone
-attachment site for thick filaments
-keeps thin filaments aligned
A band is ….
DaRK
I band is……
LiGHT
Sliding filament theory
When a muscle contracts thin and thick filaments slide past each other and the sacromere shortens
What changes occur during a sacromere contraction
-width of A band remains constant
-H zone disappears
-I bands narrow/shorten in length
-Z discs move closer together
-sarcomere shortens in length
