Question
Answer
_______ soft flexible conn tissue needed for flexibility and firmness   cartilage  
___ is dense and composed of haversian system ( osteons)   Compact bone  
____ contain spiracles of yellow and red marrow   Spongy bone  
___ builds bone   osteoBlast  
______ destroys bone, bone resorption   osteoclast  
_______ ______ cartilage replace by bone   endochondral ossification  
_____ immovable joints   sutures  
___ join bone to bone   ligament  
___ join muscle to bone   tendon  
muscle cell aka   fiber  
______ membrane around individual muscle cell   endomysium  
membrane around the bundle of muscle cell   perimysium  
membrane around the muscle organ/ belly gaster   epimysium  
_______ bundles of filaments in the muscle fiber   myofibril  
Myofibrils contain contractile units   sarcomeres  
sarcomeres have _____ thin filaments and ___ are the thick filament   actin, myosin  
A band   dArk band, where thick and thin overlap is darkest  
I band   lIght band, only thin filament  
H zone   has only thick filaments, is the middle of A band  
during contraction only _____ are reduced   H zone and I bands  
neuromuscular junction   b/t nerve terminal and sarcolemma/ muscle fiber  
________ released at neuromusc junction   Ach, acetylcholine  
hows contraction initiated in a muscle   - nerve signal open Ca channels in synaptic bulb - ACh release in synaptic cleft -Ach binds to receptors on sarcolemma -surge of Na in and K out - voltage gate open cuzing action potential - sarcoplasmic reti release Ca -Ca causes contaction of sar  
all or none respose   stimuls must be at threshold value to elicit a contraction  
simple twitch   response of a single muscle fiber to a stimulus above threshold  
tetanus   stong and prolonged contraction in response to frequent stimuli
