Therapeutics Intro

QuestionAnswer
3 muscle tissue types Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Dark myofilament bands Myosin
Light myofilament bands Actin
how many bones are in the adult human body? 206
What is the bone process at birth? Ossification, cartilage changing to hardened bones.
Bones found in the arms and legs Long
Bones found in the wrists and ankles Short
Bones found in the skull and shoulder blades Flat
Bones found in the face and vertebra Irregular
Bone Shaft Diaphysis
Enlarged end of a long bone Epiphysis
Disc of cartilage separating the epiphysis from the diaphysis Epiphysis Plate
Hollow cavity in the diaphysis of a long bone where yellow marrow is stored Medullary Cavity
Tissue that produces blood cells Red bone marrow
Membrane covering the outside of all bones Periosteum
Spongy bone found in the ephiphysis and contains bone cells Cancellous Bone
Bone builders, form a bone matrix that becomes enclosed as an osterocyte Osteoblasts
Mature bone cells within the compact bone matrix. Maintain bone as living tissue and sustain daily bone. Osteocytes
Large multinucleate cells that break down bone and play a role in mineral homeostasis Osteoclasts
White fibrous connective tissue, cartilage, and bone Collagen
Consists of Calcium and phosphate, weight-bearing strength Hydroxyapatite
Necessary for collagen synthesis by the osteoblasts Vitamin C
Necessary for the normal absorption of calcium from the intestines Vitamin D
Junction between 2 or more bones where bones are connected together, aka articulations Joint
Connective membrane that lines joints and produces a clear lubricating liquid Synovium
A closed sac containing synovial fluid Bursa
A group of collagen fibers connecting bone to bone Ligament
Connect muscles to bone Tendons
Consists of a single neuron and all muscle fibers that the neuron's branches innervate Motor Unit
Constant tension produced by muscles for long periods of time Muscle tone
Functions in movement, posture, and heat production Skeletal Muscle
When a chemical energy stored in cells breaks down. Heat production
The thick filament responsible for contraction Myosin
The filament responsible for contraction and relaxation Actin
What slides inward along myosin, shortening the muscle fiber as contraction occurs? Actin filaments
Functions in peristalsis and blood pressure regulation Smooth Muscle
Smooth muscle contraction results in the movement of materials inside the body, such as the propulsion of food and liquid through the digestive tract. Peristalsis
Contracts rhythically and acts as a pump to move blood through the cardiovascular system Cardiac muscle
Functions are hematopoiesis, protection of vital organs, and storage of calcium and phosphate Skeletal system
Production of red and white blood cells within the red bone marrow found in spongy bone Hematopoiesis
