Final Flashcards
Bones
Hard tissue, calcium, provide support and makes red blood cells
Ligaments
Strong white bones connects two bones together at joint
Joints
Location where two or more bones meet
Tendon
Connects muscle to bone
Hinge
Knee
Ball & socket
Hip
Gliding
Vertebrae
Fixed
Skull
Cervical
Neck to first rib
Thoracic
Rib cage
Lumbar
Last rib to pelvis bone
Sacral
Extends through the pelvic area
Coccygeal
From the pelvis to the end of the tail
Red marrow
Inside the cavity of spongy bone formation of red blood
Yellow marrow
Located inside hollow portion, fat storage cells, energy storage
Periosteum
Outer layer, cushions the hard portion of the bone, repairs broken bones
Compact
Layer of hard mineral matter calcium gives bones strength
Sponge
Inside hard outer layer, fills ends of bones, formation of red blood cells
2 part skeletal system
Axial
Appendicular
Smooth muscle
No striations, individual cells are spindle shaped with centrally locates nuclei
Cardiac muscle
Muscles only found in the heart
Skeletal muscle
Long bundle of cells- striated
Arrangements
Sheets, sheets rolled into tubes, bundles, rings, cones, discreet cells or clusters of cells
The muscular system
- Movement, blood, generation of body heat.
- red or dark,white or pale or can be intermediate
Adductors
If they pull a limb toward the median plane
Axon
The long fiber that carries the nerve impulses
Nerve
A bundle of axons
Synapse
The connection between adjacent neurons
Reflex
A rapid automatic response to a stimulus
Myelin sheath
The covering of fatty material that speeds up the passage of nerve impulses
Axon terminal
The structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters to transmit the nerve impulse across the synapse
Nerve impulse
The high speed signals that pass along the axons of nerve cells
Dendrites
The branching filaments that conduct nerve impulses towards the cell
Sense receptors
The sense organ or cells that receive stimuli from within and outside body
Response
The reaction to a stimulus by a muscle or gland
Cell body
The part of the nerve cell containing the nucleus
Flat bone
Skull
Long bone
Femur
Short bone
Hoof
