Q

how does bones enable movement?

A

most skeletal muscles are attached to bones so bones act as levers for muscles. when muscles contract they pull on bones allowing the movement of the body and parts

Q

what is compact bone?

A
  • it can also be called cortical bone
  • it forms the dense, outer layer of a bone providing strength, protection and movement to the body

Q

what does chrondroblast do?

A

secrets cartilage matrix

28
Q

what is the diaphysis?

A
  • the shaft/long axis of the long bone

- a thick layer of compact bone surrounding the medullary cavity which contains yellow marrow in adults

29
Q

what is ossification?

A

bone growth occurs throughout life, it starts in fatal like with the development if cartilage and fibrous membrane bone model. over time cartilage is replaced by bone and is known as ossification

30
Q

what is the last part os a long bone to be ossified?

A

the epiphyseal plate

31
Q

what type of bone cells will be laying down new bone matrix as is formed or extended during ossification?

A

osteoblasts

32
Q

what type of bone cell will be dissolving bone matrix as its remodelled?

A

osteoclasts

33
Q

which hormone stalemates the breakdown of bone matrix by osteoclasts?

A

parathyroid hormone

34
Q

what effect would increase osteoclast activity have on bone density?

A

it would decrease bone density

35
Q

what bones belong to the face?

A
  • mandible
  • nasal bone
  • maxillary bone
  • zygomatic bone
36
Q

what bones belong to the cranium?

A
  • temporal bone
  • frontal bone
  • parietal bone
  • occipital bone
37
Q

what is sagittal suture?

A

joins the parietal bones

38
Q

what is coronal suture?

A

joins the frontal bone and parietal bones

39
Q

what is lambdoid suture?

A

joins the parietal and occipital bones

40
Q

what is squamous suture?

A

joins the parietal and temporal bones

41
Q

how many vertebra are in the cervical?

A

7

42
Q

how many vertebra are in the thoracic?

A

12

43
Q

how many vertebra re in the lumbar?

A

5

44
Q

how many vertebra are in the sacral?

A

5

45
Q

how many vertebra are in the coccygeal?

A

4

46
Q

what are the two concave curvatures of the spine?

A

cervical and lumbar

47
Q

what are the two convex curvatures of the spine?

A

thoracic and sacral

48
Q

describe synarthroses

A
  • skul sutures

- immoveable

49
Q

describe amphiarthroses

A
  • slightly moveable

- pubic symphysis

50
Q

describe diarthroses

A
  • most limb joints

- freely moveable

51
Q

fibrous joints:

A
  • bone ends joined by collagen fibres
  • skull sutures
  • immobile
52
Q

cartilaginous joints:

A
  • joints between ribs and sternum
  • pubic symphysis
  • bone ends joined by cartilage
  • slightly moveable
53
Q

synovial joints:

A
  • synovial
  • enclosed by a fluid filled capsule
  • freely moveable
  • knee joint
  • bone ends covered with articular cartilage
  • space between bone ends
54
Q

what is acetylcholine?

A

a neurotransmitter that causes an action potentials in a muscle causing it to contract

55
Q

when does muscle contraction occur?

A

when actin and myosin interact, generating force within the muscle

56
Q

what happens when muscle fiber is stimulated?

A

the muscle depolarisation results in the reals of ionised Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum where it is store

57
Q

what happens when Ca2+ is removed?

A

it is removed by uptake into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the troponin again prevents this interaction and the muscle relaxes

58
Q

what is the functional unit of skeletal muscle fiber called?

A

sarcomere

59
Q

the electrolyte necessary to create muscle contraction include??

A

Ca2+ (calcium ion)

60
Q

the removal of which ion causes the muscle to relax after contraction?

A

Ca2+

61
Q

when ATP binds to myosin it…

A

extends, preparing to bind with actin

62
Q

what does isotonic mean?

A

AS THE MUSCLE LENGTH CHANGES, THE SAME TENSION IS MAINTAINED DURING THE CONTRACTION

63
Q

what does isometric mean

A

that the length of the muscle is unchanged during the contraction

64
Q

describe agonist muscles

A

they are sometimes called “prime movers” as they are the primary muscle responsible for generating movement through their contraction

65
Q

describe antagonist muscles

A

muscles control specific movement and return the muscle to its initial position. depending on the movement, agonist and antagonist muscles may change roles
