muscle contraction occurs through the

sliding filament model

what is the sliding filament model?

myosin binds to actin and pulls it toward the center of the sarcomere

agonist

muscle that performs a given movement (prime mover)

antagonist

muscle that produces the opposite movement

synergists

muscles that work in cooperation with the agonist

reduce the angle at a joint

extensors

increase the angle

abductors

draw a limb away from the midline

adductors

return the limb back toward the body

central nervous system

the brain and spinal cord

peripheral nervous system

all other nerves in the body, namely cranial nerves and peripheral nerves

peripheral nervous system is divided into the

somatic nervous system

autonomic nervous system

\

somatic nervous system

skin, muscles, bones, joints

autonomic nervous system

digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, urination

what are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system?

parasympathetic and sympathetic

parasympathetic nervous system

rest and digest

sympathetic nervous system

fight or flight

all actions of the nervous system depend on the transmission of

nerve impulses over neurons

functional unit of the nervous system

neuron

what are the main parts of a neuron

the cell body, axon and dendrites

dendrites transmit the impulse

toward the cell body

axons transmit the impulse

away from the cell body

afferent neurons transmit impulses

toward the CNS

examples of effector organs

muscles, glands, digestive organs

four major parts of the brain

cerebrum

cerebellum

diencephalon

brainstem

function of cerebrum

sensory interpretation, movement, thinking and personality

function of the cerebellum

responsible for muscle coordination

function of the diencephalon

thalamus- routes incoming sensory info to appropriate part of the cerebrum

hypothalamus- monitors autonomic nervous system and endocrine system

function of brainstem

respiration and heart rate

which layer of the skin undergoes mitosis?

stratum (germinativum) basale

sensory impulses enter the ____ spinal cord

posterior

motor impulses leave through the ____ spinal cord

anterior

where do the nervous and endocrine systems meet?

the hypothalamus and pituitary gland

what governs the pituitary gland?

the hypothalamus

two major groups of hormones are?

steroid and non-steroid hormones

what do steroid hormones do?

enter the target cell and have a direct effect on the DNA of the nucleus

what do non steroid hormones do?

remain at the cell surface and act through a second messenger, usually a substance called adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

how do most hormones affect cell activity?

by altering the rate of protein synthesis

hypothalamus attaches to the pituitary gland via the

infundibulum

somatotropin hormone also known as ______ does what?

growth hormone

stimulates growth in all organs

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex hormones

thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

stimulates secretion of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogens in females; stimulates sperm production in males

luteinizing hormone (LH)

triggers ovulation in females; stimulates secretion of testosterone in males

oxytocin

stimulates uterine contractions during labor; stimulates milk ejection from the mammary glands; also known as the bonding hormone

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

stimulates retention of water by the kidneys

thyroid gland

secretes thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism, and calcitonin which decreases blood calcium levels

parathyroid glands

secrete parathyroid hormone, which increases blood **calcium** levels

adrenal glands

cortex secretes cortisol

medulla secretes adrenaline (intensifies sympathetic response)

pancreas

secretes insulin, which decreases blood glucose levels, and glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels

gonads

ovaries secrete estrogens, which develop and maintain female sexual characteristics and progesterone, which maintains pregnancy; testes secrete testosterone, which develops and maintains male sexual characteristics

what are the hormones released from the posterior lobe of the pituitary
