Exam 1 - Intro to A & P and Tissue Types
He is said to be the "father of medicine" and determined that human ailments were caused by natural events and not the gods. His name is still used today in modern medicinal oaths.
What is Hippocrates?
Where two bones meet.
What is a joint?
Contraction of the muscle cell/tissues.
What is the main function of the muscular system?
These are tissues whose cells are most susceptible to stimuli that change the membrane potential .
What are excitable tissues?
This tissue's function includes lipid storage.
What is connective tissue (adipose tissue)?
What is skeletal tissue?
This excessive outward curvature of the thoracic vertebrae provide a "hunched" appearance.
What is hyperkyphosis?
This helps the prime mover muscle by moving in the same direction as the agonist.
What is a synergist?
This lobe of the brain processes all visual stimulus.
What is the occipital lobe?
Many muscles attached to one nerve.
What is a motor unit?
What is the process of cutting holes into the skull to relieve pressure and cure ailments beginning thousands of years ago?
This is the skin cancer type MOST likely to metastasize.
What is melanoma?
This is the contractile unit of the muscle cell and consists of thin, thick, and elastic filaments and ends at Z discs.
What is a sarcomere?
This cell makes up the myelin sheath in the PNS.
What is a Schwann cell?
This type of burn affects the epidermis and part of the dermis.
What is a second degree burn?
Place the following structures in order from smallest to largest:

This bone cell dissolves bone material (osteolysis) and partakes in the mineral resorption back into the blood stream.
What are osteoclasts?
This is the ABCDE rule.
What is a diagnostic tool to determine if a skin marking could be cancerous?
This spinal nerve is located in the cervical plexus and regulates the rhythm of functions such as breathing.
What is the phrenic nerve?
This ion has a regulatory role in muscle contraction and when it binds, it exposes actin to myosin.
What is calcium?
This cellular junction used protein-rich hooks to prevent cells from pulling apart in extreme stress such as in the heart.
What are desmosomes?
In this case, bone material is created due to the excess of calcium in the body.
What is hypercalcemia?
This toxin causes lockjaw by keeping the muscle cells stimulated because it inhibits acetylcholinesterase.
What is Clostridium tenanus toxin?
Being responsible for the central pattern generation necessary for certain locomotion movements such as walking, containing bundles of nerve fibers conducting information between the brain and the body, and being a center of neural integration are all functions of this central nervous system organ.
What is a spinal cord?
This is the study of the human body's function.
What is physiology?
