Term
cartilage
Definition
connective tissue softer and more flexibled than bone
Term
chrondytes
Definition
cells that make cartilage
Term
bone
Definition
compact and spongy
Term
compact bone
Definition
made of osteons
Term
osteons
Definition
consist of Haversian canal and lamellae
Term
spongy bone
Definition
consist of bony spicules with red/yellow marrow in between
Term
red marrow
Definition
blood cell formation
Term
yellow marrow
Definition
inactive, adipose tissue
Term
osteoblasts
Definition
synthesize organic constituents of bone matrix
-mature into osteoclasts
Term
osteoclasts
Definition
-multinucleated
-bone reabsorption
Term
endochondral ossification
Definition
-primary type of bone formation
-cartilage turns to bone
Term
intramembranous ossification
Definition
-mesenchymal (embryonic) tissue turns to bone
Term
ligaments
Definition
bone to bone
Term
tendons
Definition
muscle to bone
Term
origin
Definition
attach muscle to stationary bone
Term
insertion
Definition
attach muscle to bone that moves
Term
pyramidal
Definition
voluntary commands to skeletal muscles
Term
myofibrils
Definition
embedded in muscle fibers
Term
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Definition
-envelope myofibrils
-stores Ca+
Term
sarcolemma
Definition
-cell membrane of muscle fiber
-propagates AP
-connected to T-system
Term
T-system
Definition
-tubules oriented perpendicularly to myofibrils
-propagate AP
Term
Z line
Definition
-boundaries of sarcomere
-anchor thin filaments
Term
M-line
Definition
middle line
Term
I band
Definition
thin filaments only
Term
H zone
Definition
thick filaments only
Term
A band
Definition
spans length of thick filament and any overlapping thin filaments
Term
reduced during contraction
Definition
H I Z
Term
muscle contraction
Definition
-AP is conducted along sarcolemma and T-system inside fiber
-this releases Ca+
-this allows muscle to contract (myosin can bind to actin)
Term
rigor mortis
Definition
lack of ATP required to release mysoin from actin
Term
types of contraction
Definition
-isotonic, isometric, dynamic, eccentric, concentric
Term
isotonic contraction
Definition
muscle shortens, tension constant
Term
dynamic contraction
Definition
change in muscle length = change in tension
Term
eccentric contracton
Definition
muscle lengthens, tension increases
Term
concentric contraction
Definition
muscle shortens, tension increases
Term
isometric
Definition
no change in muscle length, tension increases
Term
tonus
Definition
partial contraction
Term
tetanus
Definition
continuous contractions so muscle can't relax
Term
temporal summation
Definition
contractions combine
Term
Cori cycle
Definition
lactic acid to glucose
Term
skeletal muscle
Definition
-striated
-multinucleated
-strong forceful contractions
Term
smooth muscle
Definition
-nonstriated
-one nucleus per cell
-smooth continuous contractions
-myogenic activity
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
-striated
-one or two nuclei per cell
-strong forceful contractions
-myogenic activity
