exam 2 Flashcards
osteoblast
bone cells that build up bone
keratin
waterproof protein
sarcolemma
plasma membrane of the muscle fiber
sarcoplasm
internal fluid of the muscle fiber
abduction
motion away from the midline of the body
flexion
motion that decreases the angle between 2 parts
calcitriol
hormone responsible for allowing absorption of dietary calcium
sarcomere
basic functional unit of muscle fiber
adduction
motion towards the midline of the body
meniscus
cartilaginous structure in a joint capsule
extension
motion that increases the angle between 2 parts
calcitonin
hormone responsible for storing calcium within bone
tetanus
maximal sustained muscle contraction
bursa
pocket of fluid found in some joints
osteoclasts
bone cells that break down bone
pronation
motion orienting the palms posteriorly
supination
motion orienting the plams anteriorly
crossbridge
formed when actin and myosin interact
acetylcholinesterase
enzyme found in the synapse
summation
refers to muscle twitches “building up” on one another
aponeurosis
sheet of connective tissue joining muscle to muscle
level of muscle organization DECREASING in size
whole muscle, fascicle, muscle fibers, myofibril, myofilament
melanin is responsible for
skin coloration and UV protection
this sweat gland associated in humans with pubic regions, activates in response to stress, and has a strong ordor
apocrine
this is the scientific term to sweat
sudorum
fat in bone is stored in the
yellow marrow
the perimysium covers
the fascicle
which of the following does not contribute meaningfully to thermoregulation in an integument
carotenoids (does: sudoriferous glands, feather, blood vessels)
this structure does not contain keratin
tooth
most of the mass of the bone is made up of
hydroxyapatite
the axial skeleton is primarily
protective
this is where the calcium is releases from within the muscle fibers
sarcoplasmic reticulum
this type of joints is freely moveable
diarthrosis
one reason for the breakdown of bone is
to increase calcium availability within bone
this type of muscle if spindle shaped
smooth
bones of the skull are joined by
suture joints
spongy bone is arranged into sutures called
trabeculae
which joint is the most stable
saddle
if too much pyruvate is formed anaerobically due to rapid glycolysis, what will be formed in the vertebrates
lactic acid
the arrector pili muscles are most associated with
fear
this spinal curvature is concave posteriorly
lumbar
a burn covering the back of the trunk and back of both arms of a human affects approximately
27% of the surface area (rule of 9’s)
this is the location of spongy bone in a human long bone
epiphysis
this theory states that’s sarcomeres shorten by way of myofilaments moving along one another
sliding filament theory
this protein stores oxygen within muscle fibers
myoglobin
glycolysis by itself produces a net fain of this many ATP molecules
2
this type of structural joint is always completely immovable
fibrous
this refers to a single nerve and all the muscle fibers it innervates
motor unit
a fracture breaking the radius into 2 pieces but not breaking the skin is what kind of fracture
simple complete
