Lab-Muscle Tissue Flashcards
A and I bands refract polarized light differently. A bands are ________
Ansiotropic
A and I bands refract polarized light differently. I bands are ________
Isotropic
A springlike molecule that extends from the z disc to thick filaments to the M line
Titin
Two functions of titin
1) Holds thick filaments in place
2) Unfolds when muscle is stretched
Two types of contraction:
1) Concentric contraction
2) Eccentric contraction
Type of contraction where muscles shorten to do work
Concentric contraction
What type of contraction explains the sliding filament mechanism?
Concentric contraction
Contraction where muscle generates force as it lengthens. Muscle acts as a “break” to resist gravity.
Eccentric contraction
The “down” portion of a push up is an example of what type of contraction?
Eccentric contraction
Muscle is stretched by a movement that is opposite of the movement the muscle normally produces
Muscle extension
The greatest contraction force is produced when a muscle fibers starts out as _______
slightly stretched
Why does the greatest contraction for occur when the muscle fibers start out as slightly stretched?
Myosin heads can pull along the entire length of the thin filaments
Located at the end of axons and store neurotransmitters
Terminal boutons (axon terminal)
Arthro
Joint
Types of classifications of joints
1) Functional classification
2) Structural classification
Classification of a joint based on the amount of movement
Functional classification
Types of functional classifications of a joint
1) Synarthrosis
2) Amphiarthroses
3) Diarthroses
Immovable joint, common in axial skeleton
Synarthrosis, type of functional classification of a joint
Slightly movable joint, common in axial skeleton
Amphiarthroses
Freely movable joint, common in appendicular skeleton (all synovial joints)
Diarthroses
Structural classification is based on
1) Material that binds bones together
2) Presence or absence of a joint cavity
Structural classifications include:
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial are examples of what type of joint classification?
Structural classification
Three types of fibrous joints
1) Suture (short fibers)
2) Syndesmosis (longer fibers)
3) Gomphosis (periodontal ligament)
Functional classification of three types of fibrous joints:
1) Suture
2) Syndesmosis
3) Gomphosis
1) Immobile (synarthrosis)
2) Slightly mobile (amphiathroses) and immobile
3) Immobile (synarthrosis)
Adjoining bones united by collagenic fibers. No joint cavity
Fibrous joints
Adjoining bones united by cartilage, no joint cavity
Cartilaginous joints
Types of cartilaginous joints
1) Synchondrosis (hyaline cartilage)
2) Symphysis (fibrocartilage)
Functional classification of two types of cartilaginous joints
1) synchondrosis
2) symphysis
1) Immobile (synarthrosis)
2) Slightly movable (amphiathroses)
Adjoining bones separated by joint cavity, covered with articular cartilage, and enclosed within articular capsule lined with synovial membrane
Synovial joint
Types of synovial joints
Plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball and socket
Functional classification of synovial joints
Freely movable (diarthrosis)
Type of fibrous joint that occurs only between the bones of the skull
Sutures
What do sutures allow?
Allow bone growth so the skull can expand with the brain in during childhood
Close sutures
Synostoses
When does the fibrous tissue in sutures ossify?
Middle age
Syndesmoses are fibrous joints connected exclusively by __________
Ligaments
In syndesmoses joints, the amount of movement depends on ______
the length of the fibers
Type of syndesmoses joints and function
Tibiofibular joint-immovable synarthrosis
Interosseous membrane between ulna and radius-freely movable diarthrosis
Tooth in socket joint is an example of _____
Gomphoses
The connecting ligament in a gomphoses joint is the ____
periodontal ligament
Cartilaginous joint where hyaline cartilage unites bones
Synchondroses
Examples of synchondroses joints
Epiphyseal plates
Joints between first rib and manubrium
Cartilaginous joint where fibrocartilage unites bones, resists tension and compression
Symphyses
Slightly movable joints of symphyses provide _____ with _____
Strength with flexibility
Examples of symphyses joints
