Connective tissue (Ligaments)

A

Connect bones to bones

31
Q

Connective tissue (Tendons)

A

Connect muscles with bones

32
Q

Smooth muscle

A

Contracts without voluntary action, walls of internal organs, in the veins pushes back blood, not striated

33
Q

Cardiac muscle

A

Stiated muscle, walls of the heart, involuntary

34
Q

skeletal muscle

A

All over the body, movement through concious , striated

35
Q

Insertion

A

Attatchment of a muscle tendon to a moveable bone

35
Q

Origin

A

Attatchment of a muscle tendon to a stationary bone

36
Q

Articular cartilage (long bone)

A

Smooth surface for low friction articulation

37
Q

Synovial membrane

A

reduces friction through lubrification

38
Q

Bursae

A

Cushion between ligaments

38
Q

Meniscus

A

Reduces friction

39
Q

Ligament

A

connects bone to bone, gives joint stability

40
Q

Articular capsule

A

Supports joints

41
Q

Articular cartilage synovial joint)

A

Provides a smooth, lubricated surface for low friction articulation and facilitates the trasmission of loads with low friction coefficient

42
Q

Diaphysis

A

structure support of the skeleton, attatchment of muscles and facilitate transmitssion of loads with low friction coefficient

43
Q

Appendicular skeleton

A

Pectoral girdle (ilium, ischium and pubis), femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges

facilitates movement of the body

44
Q

Outline the general characteristics common to muscle tissue

A

contractility: ability of muscle cells to forcibly shorten

Extensibility: ability of muscle to be stretched

Elasticity: ability to return to its original state after being stretched

excitability: ability of a muscle to respond to stimuli

Atrophy: diminish in diameter

Hypertrophy: grow in diameter

Controlled by nerve stimuli and fed by capillaries
