1
Osteoclasts
________ are involved in reabsorbing bone tissue during growth and /or repair.
New cards
2
Ligaments
________ attach bone to bone, often these limit movement and increase stability.
New cards
3
Gap junctions
________: proteins that form a channel between two cells and pass Ca2+ from the cytoplasm of one to the next.
New cards
4
anaerobic respiration
Fast glycolytic: produce ATP primarily by ________ (glycolysis), contract very quickly, fatigue quickly, and contain a low density of mitochondria and blood vessels (so theyre white)
New cards
5
Desmosomes
________: intermembrane proteins on the surface of both cells that anchor the two and keep them from pulling apart during contractions.
New cards
6
Sutural
(________): bones of the skull, vary in size and shape.
New cards
7
Epimysium
________ covers the whole muscle, which is composed of fascicles.
New cards
8
epiphyseal
Growth occurs in the _________ plates during childhood and fully calcifies in mature, adult bone.
New cards
9
Atp
________ is attached to the myosin head, it is hydrolyzed, causing a conformational change that "cocks "the myosin head so it is ready to bind to actin.
New cards
10
Tendons
________ connect muscles to bone (origin vs. insertion)
New cards
11
Short bones
________: cuboid; primarily in the wrists and ankles.
New cards
12
osteocytes
Osteoblasts, once trapped in the bone matrix, become ________, which are involved in maintaining bone tissue. (growth)
New cards
13
endomysium
The __________ is found in between muscle fibers and carries nerves and vessels.
New cards
14
Cardiac cells
________: are branched and linked together via desmosomes and gap junctions that allow the contraction signal (action potential) to pass easily from one cell to another.
New cards
15
Periomysium
________: surrounds each fascicle.
New cards
16
Fibrous joint
________: are bones that are sutured together and do not allow movement.
New cards
17
Myosin
________ binds to actin (with adp /p still attached)
New cards
18
Skeletal muscle
________: voluntary, multinucleated (makes protein synthesis more efficient), striated.
New cards
19
Osteogenic cells
________ become osteoblasts, which form bone tissue.
New cards
20
Skull bones
________: structurally supportive and protective.
New cards
21
Appendicular skeleton
________: limbs and girdles.
New cards
22
periosteum
Bones are covered by a tough membrane called the _________.
New cards
23
Cartilaginous joint
________: filled with cartilage, allows for some movement, but limited.
New cards
24
Fast oxidative /glycolytic
______________: produce ATP either by aerobic or anaerobic respiration, contract quickly, and fatigue moderately.
New cards
25
Epimysium
________: connective tissue that covers the whole muscle.
New cards
26
Axial Skeleton
skull, sternum, ribs, spine
New cards
27
Appendicular skeleton
limbs and girdles
New cards
28
Flat bones
sternum and ribs, cranium; protective
New cards
29
Long bones
primarily in the limbs; longer than wide; diaphysis and epiphysis
New cards
30
Short bones
cuboid; primarily in the wrists and ankles
New cards
31
Irregular bones
specialized shapes such as vertebrae and pelvis
New cards
32
(Sesamoid bones)
shaped like a sesame seed; patella
New cards
33
(Sutural bones)
bones of the skull, vary in size and shape
New cards
34
Skull bones
structurally supportive and protective
New cards
35
Pelvic girdle
pubis, ilium, ischium
New cards
36
Shoulder girdle
scapula, clavicle
New cards
37
Common pattern in upper and lower limbs
"one bone (humerus, femur), two bones (radius/ulna, tibia/fibula), lots of small bones (carpals, tarsals), digits (metacarpals/phalanges, metatarsals/phalanges)"
New cards
38
Synovial joint
fluid-filled, allow for movement (there are many types that allow for different angles of motion)
New cards
39
Cartilaginous joint
filled with cartilage, allows for some movement, but limited
New cards
40
Fibrous joint
these are bones that are sutured together and do not allow movement
New cards
41
Cardiac
cells are branched and linked together via desmosomes and gap junctions that allow the contraction signal (action potential) to pass easily from one cell to another
New cards
42
Smooth muscle cells
are much shorter, and contract as a single unit, often triggered by local factors such as the contraction of nearby smooth muscle cells, stretching, or hormone action
New cards
43
Slow oxidative
produce ATP primarily by aerobic respiration, contract slowly, fatigue slowly, and contain a high density of mitochondria and blood vessels (so theyre red)
New cards
44
Fast oxidative/glycolytic
produce ATP either by aerobic or anaerobic respiration, contract quickly, and fatigue moderately
New cards
45
Fast glycolytic
produce ATP primarily by anaerobic respiration (glycolysis), contract very quickly, fatigue quickly, and contain a low density of mitochondria and blood vessels (so theyre white)
