Q

How is bone formed?

A

Bone is mineralized connective tissue.
1. Osteoblast deposit collage
2. Osteocytes maintain the matrix with minerals.
3. Osteons are concentric layers of the mineralized matrix around blood vessels in compact bone

Q

Skeletal muscle organ =

A

muscle tissue + connective tissue

17
Q

What are the three types of muscle?

A

Cardiac, Skeletal and smooth

18
Q

What types of muscles are striated?

A

Cardiac and Skeletal

19
Q

What types of muscle have a single nuclei?

A

Smooth and Cardiac

20
Q

How is cardiac tissue connected?

A

By inculcated disc which allows transfer of action potential and helps synchronize heart muscle contraction.

21
Q

Where is smooth muscle located?

A

Walls of the gastrointestinal tract, lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, skin and iris

22
Q

What is smooth muscle responsible for?

A

Involuntary actions

23
Q

What gives skeletal muscle its striations?

A

The arrangement of sacrcomeres

24
Q

Skeletal muscle is controlled by what nervous system?

A

Somatic Nervous System

25
Q

What does having multiple nuclei assist with in skeletal muscle?

A

320 X 2 sides

27
Q

What is the function of skeletal muscle?

32
Q

Excitability is the ability for skeletal muscles to?

A

To respond to appropriate stimuli

33
Q

Extensibility is the ability for skeletal muscles to?

A

Ability to stretch without damage.
