Q

Rotational movement

A

movement of bone round own axis`

33
Q

Supination

A

turning outwards

34
Q

Pronation

A

turning inwards

35
Q

Synovial Joints - 5 main parts

A 
articular cartilage
a synovial cavity
synovial fluid
articular capsule
re inforcing ligaments
36
Q

Hyaline cartilage in synovial cavity

A

acts as sponge

fluid is removed when joint is under pressure, placed back in when pressure is removed

37
Q

main types of muscle tissue

A

skeletal
cardiac
smooth

38
Q

muscle fibres

A

ability to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy

39
Q

myoblasts

A

make up mature muscle cells

40
Q

skeletal muscles

A

primarily attached to tendons

41
Q

skeletal muscle fibres

A

straited appearance
contraction is voluntary
long, cylindrial and multi nucleated

42
Q

Cardiac muscle fibres

A

striated appearance
involuntary
branching chains, one or 2 nuclei
intercalated discs

43
Q

intercalated disc

A

intercellular junction

uniform contraction of the heart

44
Q

Smooth muscle fibres

A 
in the walls of tubular organs
not striated 
involuntary contraction
uninuclear 
unbranched and spindle shaped
45
Q

skeletal muscle - organ level

A

made up of fascicles, individually wrapped and bound by connective tissue

46
Q

fascicle

A

bundle of muscle fibres

47
Q

tendons

A

similar to ligaments but connect bone to muscle

48
Q

muscle fibres - make up

A

fusion of hundreds of myoblasts

multinucleated

49
Q

sarcolemma

A

plasma membrane of skeletal muscle fibre

50
Q

t tubules

A

extensions from sarcolemma, penetrate deep in cell

51
Q

Sacrcoplasmic reticulum

A

a store of calcium ions which regulate the contraction of each fibre

52
Q

Myofibrils

A

extend from one end to the other

are the contractile components

53
Q

myofibril composition

A

thick filaments - myosin

thin filaments - actin

54
Q

sarcomeres

A

thick and thin filaments overlapping

55
Q

how muscles contract

A

thick and thin filaments slide past each other

56
Q

muscle sliding process

A

actin and myosin bind to each other
myosin molecule bends dragging actin
energy from ATP

57
Q

Tropomyosin

A

blocks the myosin binding on thin filaments

58
Q

muscle stimulated to contract by nerve impulses

A

calcium are released
calcium binds to troponin and it changes shape
as shape change, it drags tropomyosin away
actin is now free to bind to myosin

59
Q

smooth muscle

A

regulation of blood pressure

cells are spindle shaped and form sheets that run longitudinally

60
Q

Peristalsis

A

rhythmical waves of compression that moves food through digestive system

61
Q

smooth muscle makeup

A

myosin and actin filaments
intermediate filament outer netting
limited sarcoplasmic reticulum
caveoli (little cavities)

62
Q

regulating contractions - smooth muscle

A

calmodulin and myosin light chain kinase provide calcium dependent mechaism

63
Q

smooth muscle contraction

A

calcium is released from SR
bind to and activates calmodulin which actives MLC kinase
MLC kinase transfers phosphate from ATP to myosin cross bridges
myosin bridges interact with actin

64
Q

muscle relaxtion

A

returns after calcium ions are reabsorbed by the SR

65
Q

Muscular System functions

A 
movement
control of body openings and communication
stability of posture
stabilisation of joints
heat production
66
Q

Muscular System properties

A 
excitability
conductivity
contractability
extensibility
elasticity
67
Q

Perimysium

A

protective sheath around fascicle

68
Q

endomysium

A

between individual cells

69
Q

Sarcolemma

A

plasma membrane

70
Q

Epimysium

A

whole muscle wrapping

71
Q

Muscle Growth

A

fusion of myoblasts into large cells

72
Q

t tubules

A

extensions of cell membrane into cell, allows muscles to receive signals at same time

73
Q

Regulatory proteins

A

switch on or off contractions - troponin and tropomyosin

74
Q

structural proteins

A

provides correct alignment, elasticity and extensibility (titin and dystrophin)

75
Q

what helps anchor the filaments together

A

m line
z disc
titin

76
Q

Myosin molecules

A

made of actin and ATP binding sites

77
Q

Thin filaments

A

actin with sites for myosin attachment heads, hoever sites are blocked by tropomyosin ribbons

78
Q

what happens when thick filaments pull the thin filaments

A

reduces other zones
