Hormone production by the bones, which functions in? 

Osteocalcin, protects against obesity

100

Bending your head back until it hurts, which can occur during whiplash, is an example of

Hyperextension

100

Relays the action potential to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

What are the T-tubules? 

100

What occurs during the Latent period of muscle contraction?

All the events of excitation-contraction coupling; no muscle tension

100

This type of joint is not fused until after age 5 in the skull

What are sutures?

200

The main trigger for release of parathyroid hormone

Low calcium levels in the blood

200

The opposite of Pronation

Supination

200

K+ exiting the cell

What is repolarization? 

200

This Links the thin filaments to proteins of sarcolemma

What is Dystrophin? 

200

It reduces friction where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together

What is Bursae?

300

Chondrocytes deteriorating and leaving long spicules of calcified cartilage at epiphysis-diaphysis junction, which are eroded by the osteoclasts

What is the Ossification zone? 

300

This type of joint is connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue), such as between the tibia and fibula

Syndesmosis

300

Calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum will bind to

What is troponin? 

300

This membrane surrounds the entire muscle from the outside

What is the Epimysium? 

300

The structure in skeletal muscle cells functions in calcium storage

What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum? 

400

These cells play a role in Intramembranous Ossification of bone

What are osteoblasts? 
400

Fibrocartilage found between the vertebrae is an example of which type of joint

Symphyses

400

The Enzyme which breaks down Acetylcholine to be recycled

What is Acetylcholinesterase? 

400

Medication which blocks calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum will result in

Tropomyosin will keep blocking the site on actin for myosin to bind to

400

Macrophages are derived from the same hematopoietic stem cells as are:

Osteoclasts 

500

These cells are involved in responding to and communicating mechanical stimuli to other cells so bone remodeling can occur

What are osteocytes?

500

This type of joint is where bones are united by hyaline cartilage

Synchondroses

500

This results in no contraction of the muscle

A severed (cut) nerve 

500

Na channels open, Na channels close, K channels open, K channels close

What is an action potential? 

500

 No ATP is available to release attached actin and myosin molecules

What is rigor mortis?
