lesson 12 Flashcards
types of skeletons
-hydrostatic skeletons
-exoskeletons
-endoskeletons
hydrostatic skeletons
soft bodies terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates
exoskeletons
arthropods
endoskeletons
echinoderms and vertebrates
cartilage-specialized connective tissue
matrix=ground substance (chondroitin) +collagen fibers
cells=chondrocytes
bone-specialized connective tissue
matrix=collagen+ground substance (hydroxyapatite); equal in volume
cells=osteocytes
3 categories of bone based on density
-compact
-medullary
-spongy
endochondral bone development
-cartilaginous models
-bone added to outside
-cartilage replaced with bone
-lengthening occurs at epiphyseal growth plates
=stops in late adolescence in humans
bone remodeling-response to use or disuse
sacromeres
myofibrils have alternating light and dark bands
-shorten during muscle contraction
fast twitch fibers
-fewer capillaries
-fewer mitochondria
-less myoglobin
-rapid generation of power
-white fibers
slow twitch
-more capillaries
-numerous mitochondria
-high myoglobin
-sustained action, endurance
-red fibers
