Random
100
A place where the elements of skeleton come together.
Joints
100
This is the functional unit of a muscle fiber.
Sarcomeres, made of myosin (thick filaments) and actin (thin filaments)
100
The amount of blood ejected from the left side of the heart in one minute.
Cardiac Output
100

The inability of muscle to maintain its strength of contraction of tension; may be related to insufficient oxygen, depletion of glycogen, and/or lactic acid buildup.

Muscle fatigue.

100
This feature in veins helps move blood back to the heart.
Valves. Arteries don't have valves.
200
An instrument for measuring angles (as of joint or skull)
Goniometer
200
Interaction between these two filaments are responsible for muscle contraction.
Myosin and Actin
200
The volume of blood pumped by a ventricle in one heart beat.
Stroke volume
200

An organic acid present in blood and muscle tissue as a product of the anaerobic metabolism of glucose and glycogen.

Lactic Acid

200
Peripheral artery disease can be diagnosed using this.

Ankle-brachial index (ABI). It compares the blood pressure in your ankle with the blood pressure in your arm. Uses Ultrasound machine.

300
 A usually translucent somewhat elastic tissue that composes most of the skeleton of vertebrate embryos, except for a small number of structures.
Cartilage
300

DAILY DOUBLE: This type of muscle is dense, contains intercalated discs, is non-voluntary, and is striated.

Cardiac muscle

300
A condition in which veins become weak, and twisty. Valve do not seem to work and causes fluid accumulation.
Varicose Veins
300

A highly branched polymer of glucose containing thousands of subunits; functions as a compact store of glucose molecules in liver and muscle fibers.

Glycogen

300

Permitting the exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells is the primary function of these.

Capillaries

400
An unbending movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that increases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint.
Extension
400
The attachment of a muscle tendon to a movable bone or the end opposite the origin.
Insertion
400

This artery carries blood to the brain, face, and head.

What are the carotid arteries?

400
Anaerobic process that occurs in cells under stress; produces small amount of ATP and lactic acid

Glycolysis

400

Arteries carry oxygenated blood, and veins carry deoxygenated blood, with these two exceptions.

Except for the Pulmonary Vein and Pulmonary Artery. 

500
Ball-and-Socket, Pivot, Hinge are all example of this category of joint
Synovial Joints
500

The hardening of the muscle and stiffening of the body that begins 3 to 4 hours after death. 

Rigor Mortis.

500
Artery walls are composed of layers of epithelial, connective, and this type of tissue.

Smooth muscle

500

Condition characterized by increased thirst & decreased urine production.

Dehydration

500

DAILY DOUBLE: Why can smoking lead to peripheral artery disease?

Smoking raises the risk of atherosclerosis and therefore the risk of PAD.
