Muscles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tendon | A flexible strong cord that connects muscle to bone. |
| Smooth Muscle | Muscle with no striation forms tubes. |
| Skeletal Muscle | Muscles connected to your skeleton, have striations. |
| Cardiac Muscle | Muscles in your heart have striations. |
| Sarcomere | Micro-striations, basic unit of muscle fiber. |
| Sarcoplasmic reticulum | This is the stuff that stores calcium, releases it and restores it when they are done after contractions. |
| Calcium Ions | A calcium ions that has lost 2 electrons. this is what helps us contract our muscles. |
| Actin Filaments | Outside of sarcomere, thin flexible protein fibers. |
| Myosin Filaments | Protein structures in sarcomere that interact with the actin to contract muscles. |
| Troponin | When it is curled inside the actin. |
| Tropmyosin | When it is straight inside the actin. |
| Adenosine Triphosphate | ATP, or energy provided for the muscle contraction. |
| Endomysium | The inner layer or connective tissue that encloses each muscle fiber. |
| Perimysium | The middle inner layer that is around the muscle fibers. |
| Myofibril | Rod like organelle that is made up of many sarcomeres. |
| Fascicle | A bundle of muscle fibers what makes up the skeletal muscle. |
| Epimysium | The outermost layer of tissue on the outside of the muscle that surrounds the whole muscle. |
| Muscle Fiber/Cell | Long cylindrical cell inside the muscle that contracts. |
| Muscle Fatigue | This is when the muscle can not contract anymore caused by lack of energy. |
| Electromyogram | A test that measures the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. |
| Tetany | A condition where involuntary muscles contract, spas or tremor. |
| Intercalated discs | Where 2 cardiac muscles meets or come together. |
| Fiberous joints | Non-movable example skull |
| Cartilagenous joints | slightly movable example vertebrae, ribs, pelvis. |
| Synovial joints | freely movable |
| Pivot | Rotate around each other like your forearm |
| Plane (gliding) | Slide around some like your clavicle |
| Saddle | Sits on top of the non moving bone to move like thumb |
| Hinge | Moves one way back and fourth like knees and elbows uniaxial |
| Condyloid | Non moving bone sits on the top and the bottom moves like wrist |
| Ball and Socket | Can move all the ways is in your hip and shoulder multiaxial |
