QuestionAnswer
fassica sheet of connective tissue beneath the skin. pathway for nerves and blood vessels
superficial fassica adipose loose connective tissue. stores fat, insulates and protection
Deep fassica dense irregular connective tissue and lines walls and secretes mucous
transverse tubules(T tubules) allow electrical stimulus for contraction to quickly pass to inside the cell, causing to replace calcium.
thin myofilaments mostly myosin,also regulatory proteins tropmyosin and troponion
thick myofilaments has bulbus heads that form cross bridges with actin and for contraction
intermediate filaments actin to dense bodies near the sacolemma similar to the z discs of skeletal muscle
describe the contraction of a smooth muscle cell can stretch, and maintain its ability to contract
describe how smooth muscle is inverted no neromuscular junctions, has diffuse junction, fibers have varicosites
sarcomers functional unit skeletal muscle. composed of myobrils
elastic filament mostly thin, anchors filaments to z discs and runs through the m line
what is a functional unit of skeletal muscle? sacromere
motor unit all myofibers that are stimulated
define all or not stimulated for a motor unit all stimulated-contraction all not stimulated-relaxed
thick filaments longer than in skeletal muscle with myosin heads along entrie length
think filaments fewer than skeletal muscle
muscle tone never totally relaxed
endurance exercise lower weight, more reps.converts fast whil fibers to fast red fibers
strength exercise weight lifting, fast glycolvic fibers to hypotropy
what are peristalsis? and the functions it provides? involuntary constriction and relation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal. creating wave like movements of materials
sarcolemma plasma membrane of an indiviusals plasma cell
terminal cisterae store calcium and release calcium to sarcoplasm for contraction
burase a sacklike structure between adjacent structures
sheath a bursa wrapped around a structure
meniscus subdivided synovial cavity
fatty pads between the fibrous capsule and plasma membrane of the bone
ball and socket joint rounded head fits into the cup and is freely movable. tri axial movement
what germ layer do joints develop from? mesoderm
excitability response to stimuli neural and hormonal
plane joints flat surfaces, any gliding movements
hing joints flexsion or extension
pivot joints ball or point in a sleeve allows rotation
spongy bone composed of parallel lamellae, thin plate of bone with large spaces, red marrow
compact bone few spaces-layer over spongy bone. thick in diaphysis the epiphysis and protection and support
what are the 6 functions of bones support, protection, movement, blood cell protection and storage of energy
what is a diploid? a spongy bone structure(tissue) of the internal part of a irregular bone
contractiblity shorten and thicker
extensibility stretching does not damage tissues
elasticbility return to its normal state after contraction or extension
condyloid joints permits all angular movements
saddle joints articular surfaces are both concave and convex- allows more movements
elevation opening jaw
depression opening mouth
opposition allow grasping and manipulation of the environment
inversion foot pointed inward
eversion foot pointed outward
protraction moving mandible out
retraction moving mandible in
symphysis broad flat disc of cartilage between bone. slightly moveable
synovial joints freely movable, movement limited by bone structure, tension of connecting ligaments and soft body parts
grmphoses peg in socket
cartilaginous joints no synovial cavity, cartilage binds, little or no movement
synchondrosis hayline cartilage. between diaphysis and epitphysis or 1st ribs and sterunm
diarthroses freely movable
amphiarthroses slightly movable
synarthroses not movable
C2 fuses the atlas to the body
dense of axis join the main body of the vertebraes to the neck
lacunae osteocytes within (support function)
perforating canals allows nerves and blood vessels to enter
interstitial lamellae not connecting to any canals

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
