Lab 7 Flashcards
Mastering the concepts and anatomy of lab seven.
What do tendons connect?
Tendons connect muscles to bones.
What do ligaments connect?
Ligaments connect bone to bone.
Name the three layers of skeletal muscle and where they can be found.
1. Epimysium - directly underneath the fascia
2. Perimysium - surround each fascicle
3. Endomysium - surrounds individual muscle fibres
What are muscle fibres called?
Myofibers.
What are the thick filaments made of?
Myosin.
What are the thin filaments made of?
Actin.
What is a neuromuscular junction?
A neuromuscular junction is a connection between a motor neuron and a muscle cell.
What is a sarcolemma?
The plasma membrane for the muscle.
Name the A band, I band, and Z line.
A band - the thickest and darkest parts
I band - the lightest part composed uniquely of actin
Z line - a line composed of protein that bisects the I band
What is a sarcomere?
Found from Z line to Z line.
What is the axial skeleton made of?
- Skull
- Vertebral column
- Thoracic cage
The appendicular skeleton is made up of what?
Upper and lower limbs.
Name three types with examples of fibrous joints.
1. Sutures - cranial
2. Syndesmosis - interosseous membrane
3. Gomphosis - teeth
Name the two types of cartilaginous joints with examples.
1. Synchondrosis - epiphyseal plate and the costal cartilages
2. Symphysis - pubic symphysis
Name the six types of synovial joints with examples.
1. Pivot - atlas and axis
2. Ball and socket - hip joint
3. Hinge - elbow
4. Gliding - between the carpals
5. Saddle - thumb
6. Condyloid - between the metacarpals and proximal phalanges
