Question
Answer
Cartilage   type of connective tissue that is softer and more flexible than bone; ear, nose, joints; formed from mesenchyme tissue - chondrocytes - produce collagen, ground substance, & elastin fibers  
🗑
Bone   mineralized connective tissue that is hard and elastic; compact and spongy  
🗑
Compact Bone   dense bone that does not appear to have cavities; bone matrix is deposited in osteons with a central microscopic channel called a Haversian canal surrounded by concentric circles of bony matrix called lamellae  
🗑
Spongy Bone   less dense and consists of an interconnecting lattice of bony spicules; filled with red / yellow bone marrow; (yellow is full of adipose tissue)  
🗑
epiphyseal plates   where bone growth occurs in long bones  
🗑
Osteoblasts   BUILD bone; mature into osteocytes  
🗑
Osteoclasts   destroy bone; bone resorption  
🗑
Endochondral Ossification   existing cartilage is replaced by bone; LONG bones  
🗑
Intramembranous Ossification   messenchymal (embryonic, undifferentiated) connective tissue is transformed into and replaced by bone  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   skull, vertebral column, and rib cage  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   bones of the appendages and pectoral and pelvic girdles  
🗑
Sutures   immovable joints; hold skull together  
🗑
Ligaments   connect bone-to-bone  
🗑
Tendons   muscle-to-bone  
🗑
Origin   point of attachment of stationary bone  
🗑
Insertion   point of attachment of movable bone  
🗑
Sacromere   is composed of thin filaments (actin) and thick filaments (myosin)  
🗑
Contraction   action potential conducted along sarcolemma and T system => into muscle fiber => sarcoplasmic reticulum release Ca+ ions => contraction of sacromere  
🗑
During contraction ___ bands reduce in size //___ band does not   A,H & I  
🗑
Strength of contraction can be increased by   recruiting more muscle fibers  
🗑
Simple Twitch   response of a single muscle fiber to brief stimulus; latent, contraction, relax ‑Latent period – time b/w stimulation and onset of contraction; lag ‑Contraction ‑Relaxation – absolute refractory period; unresponsive to stimulus  
🗑
Tetanus   continuous contractions; so frequent that the muscle cannot relax; stronger than twitch  
🗑
Tonus   state of partial contraction  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   voluntary movement; each fiber is multinucleated; striations of light/dark bands; mitochondria is very abundant  
🗑
Smooth Muscle   involuntary movement; myogenic; ONE central nucleus; LACK striations; ex lining of bladder, uterus, digestive tract  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle   striated appearance (sacromeres); myogenic; one or TWO central nucleus  
🗑
Myogenic   capable of contracting without stimulation from nerve cells  
🗑
tropomyosin   on actin - blocks the attachment site for the myosin crossbridge, thus preventing contraction  
🗑
troponin   attached to the protein tropomyosin and lies within the groove between actin filaments. calcium attaches to it and makes it change shape and expose active myosin binding sites on the actin filaments. This forms cross bridges and contraction of the muscle  
🗑
