Formative Histology Flashcards
where do you find the nuclei in skeletal muscles? [1]
is skeletal muscle uni or multicellular? [1]
where do you find the nuclei in skeletal muscles? [1]
pushed to the periphery
is skeletal muscle uni or multicellular? [1]
multicellular
where do you find in the nuceli in cardiac muscle? [1]
what makes cardiac muscles unique? [1]
where do you find in the nuceli in cardiac muscle? [1]
centrally located
what makes cardiac muscles unique? [1]
intercalated discs
when do you find skeletal muscle that has centrally located nuclei? [1]
when do you find skeletal muscle that has centrally located nuclei? [1]
when then muscle if regenerated after damage
what is a sarcomere? [1]
which lines does it lie between? [1]
what is a sarcomere? [1]
functional unit of muscle
which lines does it lie between? [1]
z disk to z disk
what is the Z line in sarcomere? [1]
what does it look like? [1]
what is the Z line in sarcomere? [1]
where the actin thin filament inserts: creates a dark band
what does it look like? [1]
dark line surroundered around pale section
what is the A band in sarcomere? [1]
what is the I band in sarcomere? [1]
what is the H zone in sarcomere? [1]
what is the M line? [1]
describe h
what is the A band in sarcomere? [1]
myosin filament - thick filament. some overlap with actin present
what is the M line? [1]
holds the myosin filament in place in sarcomere. no actin present
what is the I band in sarcomere? [1]
actin filament - thin filament
becomes darker on EM when the thick and thin overlap !
A: myosin & actin overlap
B: actin only
C: sarcomere
D: myosin only
E: I band
what is A & B?
what is the role of B [1]
A: mitochondria
B: t tubule
what is the role of B [1]
They allow transmission of the action potential, with its attendant ion shifts, to all parts of the cell, which allows rapid activation of the entire cell
describe transition from muscle –> bone [3]
muscle; myotendon intersection; enthesis (bone insertion point); bone
what does this slide show?
what is M and T? [2]
myotendinous insertion:
M: muscle
T: tendon
where type of collagen is tendon? [1]
name for fibroblasts in tendons? [1]
where type of collagen is tendon? [1]
type 1 collagen
name for fibroblasts in tendons? [1]
tenocytes
what is the enthesis? [1]
what is the enthesis? [1]
bone / tendon insertion: tendon to fibrocartilage to calficified fibrocartilage
A & B?
A: osteoclasts
B: osteoblasts
why can you get an estimate of bone marrow by undertaking a bone biopsy? [1]
why can you get an estimate of bone marrow by undertaking a bone biopsy? [1]
as we age, get a transition from red bone marrow –> yellow bone marrow (adipocytes)
what structural characterisitc of woven bone makes it softer than non-woven bone? [1]
what structural characterisitc of woven bone makes it softer than non-woven bone? [1]
collagen fibres are not arranged in lamellar (layers)
what is A?
A = secondary ossification centre
how does hyaline cartilage structure change superficial, middle and deep, for bone developemnt
- **collagen orientation
- proteoglycan content
- chondrocyte morphology**
