Muscles and their Actions
Of agonist, antagonist, or synergist, this is the muscle that produces the most force for a particular joint action.
What is agonist?
The cell's control center, this organelle holds the code the body uses when making proteins.
What is the nucleus?
Of acid, base, or buffer, this is a substance that when placed in solution will release hydrogen ions (H+).
What is an acid?
The three main layers associated with skin include the epidermis, the dermis, and this deepest layer that contains adipose tissue for cushioning and thermoregulation.
What is the hypodermis?
Arthritis is a painful joint condition that is named for "arth" meaning joint, and "itis" meaning this.
What is inflammation?
Of isometric, isotonic, or isokinetic, the type of muscle contraction that describes a muscle exerting force without producing joint movement.
What is isometric?
Of lysosomes, rough ER, or nucleus, the location where proteins are modified after leaving the ribosome.
What is rough ER?
Of ionic, covalent, or hydrogen bond, this is the weakest type of bond.
What is a hydrogen bond?
Two version of these glands are apocrine and eccrine, and they differ in the product they secrete as well as where in the body they are found.
What are sweat glands?
While a strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon, a sprain is an injury to this.
What is a ligament?
Of hip flexion, knee flexion, or knee extension, this joint action is one role of the hamstring muscles.
What is knee flexion?
Of flagella, microvilli, or cilia the cellular specialization that allows a cell to move substances across its surface.
What are cilia?
Of sensor, effector, or variable, this component of a homeostatic feedback loop is the one that detects the deviation from setpoint.
What is the sensor?
Of stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, or stratum basal, this epidermal layer is present only in thick skin.
What is stratum lucidum?
These fluid-filled sacs that are present in some synovial joints to diminish friction can sometimes become painful and inflamed.
What are bursae?
Of triceps brachii, trapezius, or deltoid, the primary muscle responsible for shoulder shrugging.
What is trapezius?
Of microtubules, phospholipids, or ribosomes, these form the essential bilayer that makes up the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
Of epithelial, connective, or muscle, this tissue type is specialized for secretion, absorption, and protection.
What is epithelial?
Of stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, or stratum basal, this epidermal layer is the most superficial.
What is stratum corneum?
________ fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot
What is plantar?
Of quadriceps, gastrocnemius or tibialis anterior, this muscle has the role of ankle plantar flexion, the anatomical term for pointing the toes.
What is gastrocnemius?
Of microtubules, phospholipids, or ribosomes, these components serve as a structural framework within the cell itself.
What are microtubules?
Of prophase, telophase, or anaphase, this is the final phase of cell division.
What is telophase?
Essential functions of the integumentary system include protection, sensation, thermoregulation, and synthesis of this important compound, a vitamin that has hormone-like function.
What is vitamin D?
A common sports injury might involve tearing of this structure, strong fibrocartilage padding present in the knee joint.
What is a meniscus?
