Term
Intramembraneous Ossification
Definition

Flat skull bones and mandible


A. Cells cluster together and differentiate into osteoblasts

B. osteoblasts create spongy bone throughout to make a contineous sheet of bone

C. Red bone marrow fills spaces between trabeculae.

D. Eventually a thin layer of compatct bone replaces spongy bone at periphery only; spongy bone remains in the center

Term

Endochondral Ossification

 

2 Parts

Definition

Bone forms within hyaline cartilage model (Developed from mesenchyme)

 

1. Primary Ossification- occurs before birth and in diaphysis only.

a. Nutrient artery pierces cartilage model

b. osteoblasts make up spongy bone throughout diaphysis

c. Osteoclasts break down some newly formed bone to create marrow cavity

d. Replace remaining spongy bone with compatct bone

 

2. Secondary Ossification- occurs around birth and in epipthesis only.

a. Nutrient artery pierces epipthesis

b. Osteoblasts make spongy bone throughout BUT leave a ring of cartilage which becomes articular cartilage and growth plate

Term

Steps of excitation

(stimulation)

Definition

1. Impulse travels down axon

2. Ca2+ goes into synaptic end bulb

3. ACH released into synaptic cleft

4. ACH binds to receptors

5. Na+ channels open = na+ enters muscle fibers

6. muscle AP generated

7. AP travels down sarcolemma and down T tubules

8. SR- release ca2+ into sarcoplasm

9. ca2+ binds troponin and opens the myosin binding sites

Term
When does contraction cycle begin?
Definition
once myosin binding sites are open
Term
Contraction cycle
Definition

1. myosin head splits ATP and becomes energized

2. crossnridge is formed-myosin heads attach to the actin on the thin filaments

3. powerstroke- all of the myosin heads swivel and rotate to center pulling thin filaments with it

4.ATP binds myosin head and detaches cross bridge

 

**cyle will continue as long as enough ca2+ and ATP in sarcoplasm

 

**myosin can be attached to ATP or to actin, but not to both

Term
Relaxation caused by two changes
Definition

1. When muscle AP stops, it closes ca2+ channels in SR

2. ca2+ rapidly "put back" into SR

- as ca2+ levels drop in sarcoplasm, tropomyosin moves back over binding sites
