Arthrology
The most mobile joint
What is Diarthrosis (or synovial) joint?
The type of connective tissue that makes up ligaments
What is Dense Regular Connective Tissue?
2 functions of muscle tissue
There are 3
What is movement, support/maintain posture, and heat production?
What is the endomysium?
Organization in order:
muscle, muscle cells/fibers, __________, __________, myosin/actin/TTC
What is myofibrils, sarcomeres?
This tissue connects bone to bone
What is a ligament?
What is lubricates cartilage?
This tissue connects muscle to bone
What is a tendon?
This dense irregular connective tissue surrounds individual muscles
What is the epimysium?
These molecules make up the thin filament in a sarcomere
What is Actin?
True or false: Synarthrosis joints are highly moveable
What is False?
This synovial structure is found in places such as elbow, hip, and knee. These areas require this small sac-like structure to reduce friction.
What is Bursae?
This muscle tissue has elongated cells, is involuntary, and is found in tube-like organs
What is smooth muscle tissue?
This dense irregular connective tissue surrounds a fascicle
What is the perimysium?
Named mechanic of muscle contraction that slides the thin filaments toward each other. (Contracts muscle)
What is the Power Stroke?
One type of cartilaginous joint and the type of cartilage it is made of
What are synchondrosis (hyaline) and symphysis (fibrocartilage)?
Function of these collagenous bands of connective tissue is to hold tendons down against the bone as they course into the hands and feet
What is a synovial sheath?
*Modified Bursae also acceptable
This muscle tissue is involuntary, uni-nucleated, has branched cells, and is found in the heart.
What is striated cardiac muscle tissue?
This dense irregular connective tissue surrounds a group of muscles
What is fascia?
This cation binds to Troponin-Tropomyosin Complex, effectively moving it out of the way so Myosin heads can attach to Actin molecules.
What is Ca2+?
The 3 types of fibrous joints and where they are found
What is interosseous membrane (between radius/ulna or tibia/fibula), syndesmosis (teeth/maxilla, teeth/mandible and others), and sutures (cranium, growth surfaces)?
What is a Capsular Ligament/External Layer/Fibrous Membrane
This muscle tissue is multi-nucleated
What is striated skeletal muscle tissue?
The __________ and the _________ blend with the periosteum and compact bone, change into DRCT and become the tendon.
What is epimysium and perimysium?
___ pumps Ca2+ out of muscle cell, causing muscles to relax.
