Q

Lacks striation
Cells are much smaller, tapering strands, with a single, centrally-located nucleus

✓ Actin and myosin filaments slide past each other longitudinally
✓ “Head” of myosin binds to an actin filament, forming a cross-bridge and pulls the thin filament toward the center of the sarcomere

21
Q

Functions of skeleton

A

Provide supporting framework
Surfaces for muscle attachment
Protection for vulnerable organs
Production of blood cells
Storage of minerals

22
Q

types of skeleton

A

hydrostatic, rigid skeleton

23
Q

Types of rigid skeleton

A

endoskeleton, exoskeleton

24
Q

sacks of fluid, ex. earthworms have alternate contractions of circular and longitudinal muscles in the body wall

A

hydrostatic

25
✓ Skeleton located outside the body ✓ Ranges from very soft (shrimp) to very stiff (crab) ✓ Typical of molluscs, arthropods, and many other invertebrates
Exoskeleton
26
✓ Skeleton inside the animal ✓ Vertebrate animals, echinoderms, and some cnidarians
Endoskeleton
27
✓ Major component of the skeleton ✓ Well-vascularized tissue capable of responding to its environment ✓ Categorized according to Location and Shape
Bone
28
list of bones in the axial region
➤ Skull ➤ Vertebral column ➤ Ribs ➤ Sternum
29
list of bones in the appendicular region
Bones of the limbs
30
bones according to shape
Long Bones, Flat Bones, Sesamoid Bones
31
Found in the limbs Provide attachment site for limb muscles and levers for movement The ends are enlarged and smooth
Long Bones
32
found at the both ends of long bones, can be made out of spongy bone and a thin layer of the compact bone. these ands are smooth and comparably larger than the diaphysis. ensures less possibility of bone dislocation. provide large surface area for articulation.
Epiphysis
33
Contains the marrow or medullary cavity. contains a thick layer of compact bones
diaphysis
34
where the production of red blood cells happen in the diaphysis
medullary cavity
35
covering of the long bone, increases the diameter of bones and aids in healing the bone. Made up of a an outer fibrous layer. and inner layer containing osteoblasts
periosteum
36
synthesizes and secretes organic substances of the bone, makes new bones
osteoblasts
37
inner periosteum, lining tissue of all surfaces of the bone that faces the medullary cavity. one cell layer thick.
endosteum
38
natural hole in bone, where nutrients go inside the bone. all long bones have this
nutrient foramen
39
separates the metaphysis and the diaphysis in growing animals. obviously seen in the young, and thins out as organism age. Fuses the two parts together when old enough, which strengthens the bones.
epiphyseal line or growth plate
40
found in the carpus and tarsus, highly irregular in shape and relatively small
short bones
41
"Squamous bones" ➤ Found in most regions of the skull and ribs ➤ Serve a protective or reinforcing function
✓ Flat Bones
42
➤ Formed in tendons near the freely mobile joints ➤ With one articular surface that glides on a flat or convex surface of one or more long bones ➤ protects tendons from wearing out
✓ Sesamoid Bones
43
Jutting processes are their characteristic features Most are for muscular and ligamentous attachments and some are for articulation Bones of the vertebral column, pelvis, and skull that are not flat
✓ Irregular Bones
44
2 types of bone Development
Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification
45
Fibrous membrane of some parts of the fetal skeleton are converted to bones Skull, mandible
Intramembranous ossification
46
Conversion of cartilage to bone Vertebrae, axial and appendicular bones, ribs, sternum
Endochondral ossification
47
Dense, appearing solid to the unaided eye
Compact bone
48
Made up of open, interlacing framework of bony tissue, oriented to give maximum strength under normal stresses and strains that the bone receive
Spongy bone
