Joints
The three joint classifications based on structure
Fibrous, Cartilaginous, Synovial
Separates muscle fibers into bundles called "fascicles"
Two muscle types that are uni-nucleated
Smooth Muscle & Cardiac Muscle
Fixed attachment of the muscle
Origin
Fixator
Stabilizes a joint while another muscle does its job
Definitions for synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrotic
Immovable, slightly movable, freely movable
Cell membrane of a muscle cell
Sarcolemma
Name the four characteristics of mucle tissue
Contractibility, excitability, elasticity, extensibility
Both the agonist and antagonist are receiving signal to contract at the same time and are in conflict
helps another muscle do its job
Synergist
Periodontal ligament that secures each tooth in its socket in the maxilla or mandible (include motion classification too)
Connective tissue sheets beneath skin that help anchor and separate muscles
Fascia
Stores oxygen in muscle
Myoglobin
All of the muscle fibers come to one point
Convergent
Short "feathered" fasicles run multiple directions
Multipennate
excess uric acid buildup that leads to painful joints and bone erosions
Gout
Uses oxygen, endurance, low-strength, lots of myoglobin & mitochondria
Slow Oxidative (Type 1)
Term for muscle loss
Atrophy
Parkinson's is an example of when someone has
Hypertonia (high muscle tone) - brain damage
Some muscles connect to a broad, flat tendon instead of directly to bone
Aponeurosis
What type of synovial joint is the hip joint
Ball-and-Socket
allow calcium to flow across cells
Gap Junctions
Eccentric
Fibers are still parallel, contraction doesn't enlarge middle of muscle
