Exam Two Flashcards
What are the traits of skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle has long and cylindrical cells with multiple nuclieu, it has stations, the muscles attach to the bone and they provide voluntary movement
What are the 4 traits of cartilage?
Cartilage is though, but flexible
Cartilage serves as a mission between bone
Cartilage lacks blood vessels and nerves
Heals slower than bones
What are the 4 traits of bones?
Bones supports internal structure
Bones facilitate movement along with muscles
Bones store lipids, calicum, and phosphorus within yellow marrow.
Bones produce red blood cells in red morrow.
What are the first seven parts of the microscope in order?
- Ocular
- Bodytube
- Arm
- Pillar
- Slide holder clips
- Course knob focus
- fine focus knobs
What are the second seven parts of the microscope in order?
- Base/foot
- light source
- Iris diaphragm
- Mechanical stage
- Condenser
- Objective lense
- Nose piece
How much magnification does the scanning lenses have ?
4x =40x
How much maginfacation does the low powered lenses have?
10x = 100x
How much magnification does the high powered lenses have?
40x =400x
Do skeletal muscles contract voluntarily or involuntarily?
Voluntary
How do antagonist muscles work?
An antagonist muscle pair prices movement when one muscle contracts, in order for it to contract the other must relax
What are muscles that contract at the same time called ?
Synergistic
What is a tendon?
A band of connective tissue
When a muscle is injured what is the injury called ?
Muscle pull, muscle strain, muscle tear,
What’s the first step of muscle contraction?
A neuron action potential arrives at the motor neuron terminal
What’s the second step of muscle contraction?
Acetycholine (ACH) is released from the synaptic vesicle. Acetycholine is a neuro transmitter
What’s the third step of muscle contraction?
Acetycholine binds to receptors on the motor end plates
Whats the forth step of muscle contraction?
When Acetycholine binds to motor end plates , sodium ions (Na+) rushes into muscle fibers
What’s the fifth step of muscle contraction?
Muscle action potential sweeps into the transverse tubules (T Tubes), recall that t tubules transverse the entire sarcolemma (plasma membrane of myofibril, or muscle cell.
What’s the sixth step of muscle contraction?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions (Ca+) in a muscle cell
Note the sarcoplasmic reticulum is essentially a fancy endoplasmic reticulum
What’s the seventh stage of muscle contraction ?
Calcium ions bind to troponin.
What’s the eighth of muscle contraction
In the eighth stage of muscle contraction calcium ions bind to troponin, it causes thropnin, it causes tropomyosin to shift and expose the myosin binding site
What’s the ninth stage of muscle contraction?
When the myosin binding site is exposed, myosin binds to actin filament. This creates a bridge
What’s the the tenth stage of muscle contraction?
When myosin binds to actin, previously stored energy (ATP and phosphates) are released, which causes the myosin head to swing forcefuly back to their bent positions causing actin to he pulled along. (Powestroke)
Whats the 11th step of muscle contraction ?
In this step the new ATP molecules bind with myosin heads causing them to disengage with actin. Myosin releases actin
What are two traits all epithelial cells share?
#1 A free surface specialized for protection secretion, absorption #2 A basement membrane which binds epithelial cells to underlying tissue this helps prevent epithelial tissue resit stretching.
What shape is squamous epithelium cells?
Flat
What shape do cuboidal epithelium cell have ?
Cube
What shape are columnar epipehliem cells ?
Collumuned
What’s the role of cuboidal epithelium cells
They specialize in secretion and absorption
What are the 3 types of muscles ?
Skeletal voluntary movement
Cardiac is involuntary movement
Smooth is involuntary movement
What is the function of an axon?
Each neuron contains one axon the exon is like a wire that directs impulses away from the cell
What are dendrites
Dendrites look like the branches of a tree or the roots of a tree their function is to receive impulses
What is in the central cavity?
The diaphragm, the abdominal cavity,
What is the largest organ in the body?
The skin or integementary system
How is skin color determined ?
Skin color is determined by blood flow
Skin color is determined by melanin
Skin color can be influenced by melanoctyces
How does vitiligo occur?
Vitiligo is a loss of skin pigment
How do bones assist in movement
Skeletal muscle contraction pulls on bone producing movement
What’s the function of bone mineral homeostasis ?
Mineral homeostasis acts as a reservoir for critical minerals
Stores calcium 99% of the body’s content
Stores phosphorus
Whats compact bone functions and traits
Compact bones are covered by periosteum that nourish the bone
Does cartilage have blood cells or nerves?
No cartilage lacks both, which is why cartilage takes significantly longer to heal
Does cartilage have blood cells or nerves?
No cartilage lacks both, which is why cartilage takes significantly longer to heal
What are 3 specialized types of connective tissue ?
Blood, bone, cartilage
What are the 3 types of cartilage with examples?
Hyaline =ribs
Elastic ears
Fibrocartiliage another part of the ears
What is the thyroid hormone responsible for ?
The thyroid hormone is responsible for ensuring the skeleton grows to prosper proportions
What is hypocalcemia ?
A deficiency of blood calcium
What is hypercalcieum ?
An excess of blood calcium
What are the four types of tissues ?
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
What is the purpose of nervous tissue?
Nervous tissue conducts nerve impulses through the body
What is the purpose of epithelial tissue ?
To form glands
To cover the body
To line cavities and organs
What is the purpose of epithelial tissue ?
To form glands
To cover the body
To line cavities and organs
What are the 3 functions of connective tissue
To support and protect the vital organs
What does cubodial epithelium look like where is it found and what does it do
Cubodial epithelium cells are cubed
They are found in the kidneys and sweat glands
They are specialized in secretion and absorbtion
