Cells
What are the phases of Mitosis?
Interphase / Prophase / Metaphase / Anaphase / Telophase
The tissue that connects bone to bone is ______,
while the tissue that connects bone to muscle is _____
Ligament
Tendon
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
Support, protection, and the production of blood
Types of Muscle
Smooth / Striated / Cardiac
General functions of the nervous system
Memory, movement, the senses, basic body functions
Types of cell transport
Selectively permeable / Osmosis / Diffusion
Four types of connective tissue
Connective, Muscle, Epithelial, Nervous
The Pectoral Girdle & Upper limbs are?
The clavicle and scapula, humerus, radius, and ulna, carpels, metacarpals, and phalanges.
What is Muscular Dystrophy / Myasthenia Gravis?
A disorder of the junction between motor nerves and muscles that results in weakness and fatigue of muscles.
Anatomy of a neuron
Draw it (label for 200 extra points)
What is Cancer?
A disease of mitosis
What is Epidermolysis bullosa?
A connective tissue disorder affecting collagen.
The Pelvic Girdle & Lower limbs are?
Pelvis, sacrum and coccyx, femur, Tibia and fibula,tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
Structure of Skeletal Muscle
Myofibril -> Muscle Fiber -> Fascicle -> Perimysium
Lobes of the brains
Frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital
Cellular organelles
nucleolus, nucleus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, vacuole, cytosol, lysosome, centriole. (must list at least 8)
What are the symptoms of EB?
Fragile skin that blisters easily, especially on the palms and feet.
Blisters inside the mouth and throat.
Scalp blistering and hair loss
Types of joints
Saddle, pivot, hinge, ball and socket
What is the Neuromuscular junction?
The neuromuscular junction is the specialized region where motor nerve synapses with muscle.
Neuroglial Cells functions (oligodendrocyte, astrocyte, microglial cells)
Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath around axons.
Astrocytes provide nutrients to neurons, maintain the environment, and provide structural support.
Microglia scavenge pathogens and dead cells.
Endocytosis vs. Exocytosis
Endocytosis- capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell.
Exocytosis- vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell.
Describe the shape of a squamous cells, and what they most commonly make up.
Squamous cells are flat and sheet-like in appearance, these cells make up your skin.
What are Osteocytes?
What do Osteoclasts do?
What do Osteoblasts do?
Bone cells
Dissolve old and damaged bone tissue (Consume)
Replaced old cells with new, healthier cells (Build)
What is the Sliding Filament Theory?
A muscle contracts when myosin filaments pull actin filaments closer together and shorten sarcomeres. When the sarcomeres in a muscle shorten, it contracts.
Functions of the lobes of the brains
The frontal lobe-control thinking, planning, organizing, problem-solving, short-term memory and movement.
The parietal lobes-interpret sensory information.
Temporal lobe-process sensory input (pain and auditory stimuli). Helps you understand language, retain visual memories, and both process and remember emotions.
The occipital lobes process images from your eyes and connect them to the images stored in your memory.
