Lesson 1: Functional Anatomy Flashcards
______ ______ is a type of fibrous connective tissue: that separates individual muscles and muscles groups.
Muscle Fascia
________ are made up of long, cylinder-like fibers (muscle cells).
Myofibrils
_________ are proteins within myofibrils that set the actions of muscle into motion.
Myofilaments
Thick myofilaments are known as ________ ; thin filaments are known as ________.
Myosin, actin
The intersection of two bones (articulation).
Joint
Tough Fibrous bands of connective tissue that supports internal organs and holds bones together properly in joints.
Ligament
Tough Fibrous band of connective tissue that connects muscles to bones.
Tendon
Terms for extremely flexible joints.
Hyper-mobility (joint laxity)
_______ joints consist of two bones that are united by fibrous tissues and exhibit little or no movement.
Fibrous
_______ joints unites two or bones by means of either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
Cartilaginous
_______ joints contain synovial fluid and allow for considerable movements between articulating bones.
Synovial
