Integumentary System
This layer of the epidermis has a name that means 'clear layer' and is only found in the heels or palms of the hand.
What is stratum lucidum
One of the functions of the skeletal system is nutrient storage. This refers to the storage of this nutrient.
What is calcium?
Thick myofilaments contain this motor protein
What is myosin
Peripheral fatigue might arise from a depletion of this important molecule that is involved in the crossbridge cycle
What is ATP
This large region of the brain is responsible for higher function and makes up the 5 lobes in each hemisphere
What is the cerebrum
This type of skin cancer is the most common and arises from the stratum basale layer of the epidermis
What is basal cell carcinoma
When a person's bone resorption exceeds their rate of bone deposition, they may be at higher risk for this disease
What is osteoporosis
Contraction of smooth muscle is involuntary and under the control of this division of the nervous system
What is the autonomic division
DAILY DOUBLE WOOOOOOOOOOOO :DDDD
What are gap junctions
The amygdala is a brain structure responsible for the production of emotion. This structure is found within this division of the cerebrum
What is the temporal lobe
This material is produced by the most common cell in the epidermis and functions to strengthen the epidermis and provide a water resistant barrier
What is keratin
This type of bone ossification involves the ossification of embryonic connective tissue, forming flat bones such as the clavicles.
What is intramembranous ossification
Following an action potential arriving at the axon terminal, acetylcholine release is stimulated by this ion
What is calcium Ca2+
Myosin phosphorylation in smooth muscle is enabled by the activity of this enzyme
What is myosin light chain kinase
The blood brain barrier functions to separate blood from the extracellular fluid of the brain. It is produced and maintained by this type of glial cell.
What is an astrocyte?
The tactile corpuscle is a somatosensory receptor that is sensitive to light touch. This structure can also be referred to under this name
What is Meissner's corpuscle
The second stage of a bone fracture repair involves the production of cartilage and fibrous connective tissue which functions to fill the fracture and stabilize bone fragments. In this class, we referred to this step by this name
What is formation of a soft callus
Rigor mortis, stiffening of the body after death, is caused by a disruption at this step of the crossbridge cycle.
What is crossbridge detachment
Pushing hard against a stationary wall is an example of this category of muscle contraction
What is an isometric contraction?
According to the classical model of the language network, this region of the brain in the left temporal lobe is involved in the formulation of coherent speech patterns
What is Wernicke's area
Goosebumps are caused by contraction of this structure, which functions to raise our hair in the hair follicle
What is the arrector pili
Red bone marrow is found in the medullary cavity of the diaphysis and contains stem cells that function in hematopoiesis, the formation of blood cells. In adults, this is primarily replaced by this type of tissue.
What is adipose tissue?
In our model of the sarcomere, there are many bands and zones. During a muscle contraction, there is a shortening of most bands, except for this one.
What is the A band
An optimal muscle length allows for maximum contraction. This typically occurs when a muscle is slightly stretched, which maximizes the number of this
What are crossbridge sites?
This cluster of capillaries within the ventricles is responsible for the production of CSF
What is the cervical plexus
