Get it back in 'blud'
vessels that transport blood back to the heart
What are veins?
the thin string-like myofilament that produces muscle contraction
What is actin?
subdivision of the nervous system responsible for decreasing neural activity and puts the brain into a relaxed state
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
metabolic process that break down molecules into small units used for energy
What is catabolic?
Axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton
What are the two divisions of the skeletal system?
superior chamber(s) of the heart that gathers blood returning to the heart
What is the atrium (atria)?
the THICK myofilament that produces muscle contraction
What is myosin?
specialized cell that is the functional unit of the nervous system
What is the neuron?
the breakdown and utilization of FAT for ENERGY
What is lipolysis?
"got that big LIP energy"
What are osteoclasts?
the smallest blood vessels and the site of exchange of elements between the blood and the tissues
What are capillaries?
connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones
What is fascia?
a motor pathway that relays information from the central nervous system to the rest of the body
What is the efferent pathway?
the information of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources (proteins and fats)
What is gluconeogenesis?
special cells that form and lay down new bone tissue
What are osteoblasts?
the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each contraction
What is stroke volume?
type of muscle tissue that connects to bones and generates the forces that create movement
What is the skeletal muscle?
subdivision of the (ANS) Autonomic Nervous System that works to decrease neural activity and put the body in a more relaxed state
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
metabolic process that synthesizes smaller molecules into larger units used for building and repairing
what is anabolic?
the process by which bone is constantly renewed by the resorption and formation of the bone structure
What is remodeling?
The accumulation of blood into extremities due to slow blood flow though the veins (venous return) or backflow
What is venous pooling?
the structural unit of myofibril composed of actin and myosin filaments between two Z-lines
What is sarcomere?
a specialized sensory receptor located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendons of skeletal muscles sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of tension change
What is the Golgi tendon organ (GTO)?
glucose that is deposited and stored in bodily tissue such as the liver and muscle cells;
storage form of carbohydrates
What is glycogen?
a sesamoid bone found in the knee
patella (kneecap)
