Every bone has... (3 things)

Blood vessels, nerves, & lymphatic vessels

100

What is this? What 5 parts do we need to know?

100

What is the growth of bone in width?

Appositional growth

100

What are 2 characteristics of muscles?

2. Contractibility

3. Extensibility

4. Elasticity

100

What is the thin and thick filament in a sarcomere?

Actin and Myosin

200

What are 4 characteristics of cartilage?

1. No Blood vessels / nerves

2. Consists of primarily water (60-80%)

3. Surrounded by perichondrium (except fibrocartilage)

4. Growth ends at ~18-20 years

5. Little healing in adulthood

6. Collagen resists tension

7. Poor at resisting "shearing forces"

8. Cartilage cells (chondroblasts, chondrocytes)

200

What is this? What 7 parts do we need to know?

Endochondral Ossification; hyaline cartilage, hypertrophied chondrocytes, developing bone spicules/trabeculae, endosteum, periosteum, osteoblasts, osteocytes
200

What is the growth of bone in length?

Interstitial growth

200

What is the main function of a muscle organ?

Change chemical energy into mechanical energy.

200

What is muscle shape is the rectus femoris and sartorius?

Bipennate, parallel

300

What are 3 functions of the skeleton?

1. Support of soft tissues of body

2. Mineral Reservoir (Ca2+, PO43-)

3. Energy Storage (yellow bone marrow)

4. Blood Cell Production (red bone marrow)

5. Protection of Vital Organs

6. Leverage & Movement

300

What is this? What 5 parts do we need to know?

Intramembranous Ossification; osteoblasts, osteocytes, mesenchymal tissue, developing bone spicules/trabeculae, endosteum

300

What bone cell forms all new bone cells and can divide?

Osteoprogenitor Cells

300

What wraps around myofibrils and stores and releases calcium ions?

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

300

Label the parts of a sarcomere (top to bottom)

I-band, A-band, Thick filament (myosin), Thin filament (actin), Titin, Z-line, M-line, H-zone

400

What are 3 characteristics of Spongy Bone?

1. Honeycomb-like network of bone

2. Form trabeculae (beams) to resist directional stress

3. Cavities filled with red bone marrow

4. Found in the epiphysis & center of bone organ

5. Replaced every 4 years

400

What is this? What 3 parts do we need to know for this?

Fibrocartilage; Collagen fibers (pink), Chondrocytes within lacunae (purple), Matrix (white space)

400

What is the 4th step in intramembranous ossification?

Osteoblasts surrounded by matrix become osteocytes trapped in lacunae

400

What is the neuromuscular junction?

The connection between the neuron synapse & muscle cell.

400
Give an example of a circular and unipennate muscle.
Orbicularis oris, semimembranosus
500

What cartilage type is abundant w/ collagen fibers and has no perichondrium?

Fibrocartilage

500

What is this? What 2 parts do we need to know?

Dense regular connective tissue; Collagen fibers (pink), fibroblasts (purple)

500

What is the 3rd step of endocondral ossification after the Hyaline Cartilage Model development?

500

What 3 things form a tendon?

EpiPEn
500
