Structure, location and functions of cardiac tissue

structure: branched, striated, single nucleus, connected by intercalated disks 

location: only in the heart 

functions: circulate blood, maintain blood pressure 


100

Name the 2 methods of joint classification and the types of each method

Functional classification: based on ROM

- amphiarthrosis: slightly moveable 

- diarthrosis: freely moveable 

- synarthrosis: immoveable 

Structural classification: based on anatomical organization

- bony - sacrum 

- fibrous - skull sutures 

- cartilaginous- costal cartilage 

- synovial- all synovial are diarthrotic 


100

Name the 4 spinal curves, identify if they are primary/secondary, kyphosis/lordosis. 

cervical 

- secondary, lordosis

- develops after birth as infant learns to balance the weight of the head 

thoracic

- primary, kyphosis 

- develops in womb to accommodate thoracic organs 

100

5. thalamus 

6. hypothalamus 

7. medulla oblongata 

8. pons 

9. midbrain 


10. lateral, third, fourth ventricles 


100

Explain pulmonary circuit

Deoxygenated blood from tissues enters right atrium through vena cava (superior or inferior), enters right ventricle through right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve, enters pulmonary trunk and goes to either L or R pulmonary artery to lungs where O2 attaches to hemoglobin in red blood cells, now oxygented blood leaves lungs and goes back to the heart via pulmonary veins into the left atrium and so on (systemic loop) 

200

Structure, location and functions of smooth muscle tissue



structure: non-striated, single central nucleus, short cells 

location: walls of hollow organs- digestive, reproductive, urinary, respiratory, blood vessels

functions: move food, urine, reproductive tract secretions & controls diameter of respiratory passageways and blood vessels  



200

Name the components of ALL synovial joints, then name accessory structures of SOME synovial joints

ALL 

- Articular/Joint capsule: fibrous tissue that holds the joint together 

- Articular cartilage: covers bony surfaces and prevents them from touching

- Synovial membrane: attaches to joint capsule and produces synovial fluid to reduce friction 

- Synovial fluid: contains slippery protein-sugar complexes for lubrication, nutrient distribution, and shock absorbtion 

ACCESSORY

- Cartilage: cushion joint

- Fat pads: superficial to joint capsule, protects articular cartilage

- Ligaments: strengthens and supports joint

- Tendons: attach to muscles around the joint 

- Bursae: pockets of synovial fluid, cushion areas where tendons and ligaments rub 

200

Ribs & sternum

1-7 true ribs 

8-12 false ribs 

11-12 floating ribs 

manubrium contains jugular notch 

sternal body connects costal cartilage for rib attachment 

xiphoid process 

200

name in order the meninges 

dura matter - periosteal layer

dural sinus 

dura matter - meningeal layer 

subdural space 

arachnoid matter 

subarachnoid space 

pia matter 



200

list and describe the layers and of the pericardium (include any cavities)

Visceral pericardium- inner layer attached directly to the heart

Parietal pericardium- Outer layer that is part of the pericardial sac

Pericardial sac- Fibrous tissue that surrounds and stabilizes the heart 

Pericardial cavity- Between parietal and visceral layers and contains pericardial fluid

300

Structure, location and functions of skeletal muscle tissue 

structure: cylindrical, striated, multinucleated 

location: everywhere 

functions: move or stabilize skeleton, guard entrances and exits of digestive, urinary, and respiratory tracts, generate heat, protect internal organs  

300

3 factors that stabilize joints 

1. joint capsule/ligaments - PASSIVE 

2. Articular surfaces/joint congruency

3. Muscles that cross the joint - ACTIVE 

300

Functions of axial skeleton

support and protect organs 

attaches to muscles of head, neck and trunk

performs respiratory movements 

stabilizes parts of appendicular skeleton

300

Name all the nerve plexuses and the vertebrae associated

Cervical - C1-C4

Brachial - C4-T1

Lumbar - T12-L4

Sacral - L4-S4

300

list and describe the four components of the respiratory defense system

1. mucous cells and mucous glands produce mucus that covers exposed surfaces

2. Cilia (on epithelial cells) sweep debris trapped in mucus toward the pharynx (mucus escalator)

3. Nose hair in the nasal cavity filters large particles

4. Alveolar macrophages engulf small particles that reach lungs

400

describe the layers of muscles

epimysium- exterior collagen layer, surrounds the entire muscle, separates the muscle from surrounding tissue, connected to deep fascia

perimysium- surround fascicles (bundles of nerve fibres), contain nerve and blood vessel supply to fascicles 

endomysium- surrounds individual muscle fibres, contains capillaries and nerve fibers contacting muscle cell, contains myosatellite cells that repair damage 

myofibrils- subdivisions made of bundles of protein filaments (myofilaments) 

myofilaments- actin and myosin are responsible for muscle contraction, make up sarcoplasmic reticulum 

400

Name and describe the 3 classifications of joint by planes of dynamic motion with examples

1. monoaxial- single degree of motion, elbow

2. biaxial- only in diarthrotic joints, MCP joints 

2. triaxial- only in diarthrotic joints, shoulder 

400

C1 & C2

C1- Atlas 

- Articulates with occipital condyles of skull and allows for the “yes”
motion of head; has no body

C2- Axis 

- Body of Axis (Dens) protrudes superiorly and allows for “no” motion of
head

400

name each nerve in each plexus

Cervical - Phrenic

Brachial - Musculotaneus, Auxillary, Radial, Median, Ulnar

500

Name the structures of the sarcomere and describe the sliding filament theory 

- I-Band, H-Band, A-Band, M-Line, Z-Line, Zone of overlap 

- Sliding filament theory: Thin filaments (actin) slide toward the M-Line in between thick filaments (myosin), A-Band stays the same width, Z-Lines move closer together, H-Band and I-Bands get smaller
