Q

How do you know that muscle is toned?

A

Q

Why do we need to learn about the banding pattern?

A

Because the banding pattern reveals the working structure of the myofibrils. First, we find that myofibrils are actually chains of tiny contractile unites called sarcomeres, which are aligned end to end like box cars in a train along the myofibrils. Second, it is the arrangement of even smaller structures (myofilaments) with in sarcomeres that actually produce the banding pattern.

A

Stimulated.

50
Q

Where is creatine phosphate found?

A

In muscle fibers but not other cell types.

50
Q

A

False. As ATP is being depleted.

50
Q

Muscle cells store perhaps _____ times as much ____ as ______, the ____ supplies are also soon exhausted in about _____ ______.

A

five, CP, ATP, CP, 20 seconds

50
Q

What are the three pathways for ATP regeneration?

A

1) Direct phosphorylation of ATP by creatine phosphate
2) Aerobic Respiration
3) Anaerobic glycolysis and lactic acid formation

50
Q

During heavy exercises, ATP is regenerated almost entirely by metabolic pathways that use oxygen. True or False

A

False. At rest and light exercise

50
Q

What happens during aerobic respiration?

A

Glucose is broken down completely to carbon dioxide and water, and some of the energy released as the bond are broken is captured in the bonds of ATP molecules.

51
Q

How many ATPS can one glucose make during aerobic respiration?

A

36 ATP

52
Q

What is the downfall of aerobic respiration?

A

Although it provides a rich ATP harvest, it is fairly slow and requires continuous delivery of oxygen and nutrient fuels to the muscle to keep it going.

53
Q

How many ATP is made from 1 glucose during anaerobic glycolysis and lactic acid formation?

A

2 ATP

54
Q

What happens during glycolysis?

A

Glycolysis, which occurs in the cytosol, glucose is broken down to Pyruvic acid and small amounts of energy are captured in ATP bonds.

55
Q

The initial steps of glucose breakdown occurs via a pathway called glycolysis, which does not use oxygen, and hence is an anaerobic part of the metabolic pathway. True or False

A

True

56
Q

How do synergists help prime movers?

A

By producing the same movement or by reducing undesirable or unnecessary movement.

57
Q

Besides contributing to body shape and form, our bones perform several important body functions:

1) support
2) protection
3) movement
4) storage
5) blood cell formation or hematopoiesis

58
Q

How does bone support help with several important body functions?

A

Bones form the internal framework that supports and anchors all soft organs. The bones of the legs act as pillars to support the body trunk when we stand and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall.

59
Q

How does bone help protect?

A

Bones protect soft body organs. Example skull protects the brain and the ribs protect the vital organs.

60
Q

How does bone help with movement?

A

Skeletal muscles, attached to bones by tendons, use the bones as levers to move the body and its parts.

A

Hormones

65
Q

There are two basic types of bone tissue:

A

Are thin, flattened and usually curved. They have two thin layers of compact bone sandwiching a layer of spongy bone between them. Examples are the skull, the ribs and the sternum.

72
Q

What are irregular bones?

A

Bones that do not fit one of the other categories. The vertebrae and hip bones fall into this group. Same with sesamoids.

73
Q

What is diaphysis?

A

A shaft that makes up most of the long bones length, and composed of compact bone. Covered and protected by periosteum

74
Q

What is epiphysis?

A

The ends of long bones.

75
Q

What is articular cartilage?

A

Instead of periosteum, covers its external surface. Because the articular cartilage is glassy hyaline cartilage, it provides a smooth, slippery, surface that decreases friction at joint surfaces.

76
Q

What is epiphyseal plate?

A

A flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone.

77
Q

Epiphyseal plates cause what?

A

The lengthwise growth of a long bone by the end of puberty, when hormones stop long bone growth, epiphyseal plates have been completely replaced by bone, leaving only the epiphyseal lines to mark there previous location.

78
Q

What is yellow marrow or medullary cavity?

A

Is adipose (fat) tissue stored in the shaft in adults.

79
Q

What is red marrow?

A

Is stored in the shaft of young and infants, this area forms blood cells. Red marrow is confined to the cavities of spongy tissue of flat bones and the epiphyses of some long bones.

80
Q

In addition to bones, the skeletal system includes?

A

Joints, cartilage and ligaments.

81
Q

What are osteocytes?

A

Are found in tiny cavities within the matrix called lacunae

82
Q

As long bone grows in length, new _______ is formed on the external face of the _______ _______ and ______ ____, as the old _________ nearer the medullary cavity is broken down and replaced by bone.

A

Cartilage, articular cartilage, epiphyseal plate, cartilage

83
Q

The second process of long bone growth is controlled by _____, most importantly ______ ______ and during puberty, the sex hormones, it ends during adolescence when the epiphyseal plates are completely converted to bone.

A

hormones, growth hormone

84
Q

Bones are remodelled continually in response to changes in two factors:

A

1) calcium levels in the blood

2) the pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton

85
Q

When the blood calcium levels drop below homeostatic levels, what gland is stimulated? And what does it activate?

A

Parathyroid Gland is stimulated to release parathyroid hormones into the blood to activate osteoclasts to break down bone matrix to release calcium ions into the blood.

86
Q

What is the importance of bone remodelling?

A

It is essential if bones are to retain normal proportions and strength during long-bone growth as the body increases in size and weight.

87
Q

When osteoblasts lay down new matrix they become trapped within in, and once trapped they become?

A

Osteocytes or mature bone cells.

88

95
Q

Bone Fracture: Greenstick

A

Bone breaks incompletely, much in the way of green twig breaks

96
Q

The repair of bone fractures involves four major events: What is the first?

A

A hematoma is formed, blood vessels are ruptured when the bone breaks. As a result, a blood filled swelling called a hematoma forms. Bone cells deprived of nutrition die.

97
Q

The repair of bone fractures involves four major events: What is the second?

A

The break is splinted by a fibrocartilage callus-an event of tissue repair, and bone is no exception, is the growth of new capillaries (granulation tissue) into the clotted blood at the site of the damage, and the disposal of dead tissue by phagocytes.

98
Q

The repair of bone fractures involves four major events: What is the third?

A

The bony callus is formed. As more osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate into the are and multiply, fibrocartilage is gradually replaced by a callus made of spongy bone.

99
Q

The repair of bone fractures involves four major events: What is the fourth?

A

Over the next few months, the bony callus is remodelled in response to the mechanical stresses placed on it, so that it forms a strong permanent ‘patch’ at the fracture site.
