34
Q

A

mesenchymal stem cell that divides into osteoblasts. Maintain the population of osteoblasts-important in repair of fracture. Located in the periosteum and bone marrow (ondosteum)

35
Q

osteoblasts

A

form new bone matrix in a process called osteogenesis, form osteoid which is then calcified to bone. When they surround themselves in extracellular matrix, become trapped and - osteocytes-mature bone cell.

36
Q

osteogenesis

A

osteoblasts secrete collagen and ground substances. collagen mol combine to form collagen fibres - osteoid(non calcified bone) hydroxyapatite crystals form on collagen, its now calcified.

37
Q

Osteocyte

A

mature bone cell cant divide, occupy one lacuna, occupying layers called lamellae. Lamellae are connected by canaliculi, providing nutrients from the central canal. Can convert back to an osteoblast.

38
Q

osteoclast

A

derived from granulocyte/monocyte progenitor cells. multinucleated involved in bone resorption. secretes enzymes which dissolve matrix release stored minerals into BS. Process - osteolysis. Important in regulating Ca and phosphate concs in body.

39
Q

bone remodelling

A

Osteoclast adhere trabecular bone, secrete H ions and Proteolytic enzymes by osteolysis. IGF1 TGF B released which recruit osteoblasts. secrete osteoid and IGF1 TGFB into it. then calcified, some osteoblasts embedded form osteocyte.

40
Q

bone remodelling following fracture

A

haematoma formation. fibrocartilaginous callus forms. Internal callus cartilage. External callus cart and bone. at centre differentiate into chondrocytes produce hyaline cart. At edges diff into osteoblasts begin creating bridge. Replace with woven bone, then remodelling occurs. can be stronger than before.

41
Q

actin

A

G actin hold ADP - active site. Tropomyosin wrapped around F actin helix.

42
Q

three layers of connctive tissue that extend from fascia to protect and strenghten muscle

A

Epimysium - encircles entire muscle. Perimysium - seperates into fascicles. Endomysium - seperatres individual fibres. extend to form tendon.

43
Q

excitation contraction coupling

A

AP spreads along T tubule, act on longditudinal sarcoplasmic tubules to cause release of Ca into sarcoplasm from sarc retic. Ca induced Ca release: open voltage gated Ca, activates ryanodine receptor channels in sarc retic triggers release into sarcoplasm. strength of contraction depends on conc Ca store.

44
Q

Ca pumped out by

A

Na Ca exchanger, into sarc retic by SERCA pumo and t tubule extracellular fluid through plasma mem by PMCA pump. or stored sarc retic.

45
Q

bands in contraction

A

H + I shorten, A stays the same.

46
Q

summation in muscular contraction

A

inc number of motor units contracting simultaneously-multiple fibre summation, inc fre of contraction-frequence summation, lead tetanisation.

47
Q

types of muscle contraction

A

isometric-length of muscle remain unchanges. Isotonic-length shortens but tension is constant. Concentris-in direction of contractionm towards origin. Eccentric-opposite direction of contraction towards insertion

48
Q

creatine phosphokinase

A

phosphocreatine contains high energy phosphate bonds used to phosphorylate ADP to ATP by creating kindase, located in the Z lines.

49
Q

myokinase

A

enzyme myokinase catalyses the transfer of phosphate from one ADP to another by product adenosine monophosphate. last gasp.

50
Q

muscle strength

A

highest amount of effort excerted to overcome the most resistence in a single effort. depends on size, fascicle arrangement, size of active motor units, multiple motor unit summation, temporal summation, fatigue.

51
Q

length tension relationship

A

tension generated bu a muscle so force of contraction depends on how contracted it was before. when contracted at rest thick fillament nearer z lines so can only contract a little. when too stretched to start myosin heads cant get good grip so little contraction. CNS maintains muscle tone making optimum length ready for contraction.

52
Q

latent period

A

delay about 2msec between onset of stim and twitch, time for excitation ECC, tensing of elastic components. Force generated in this time is internal tension.

53
Q

muscle atrophy

A

remains unused, pathway that causes protein degradation is ATP dependant ubiquitin proteasome pathway. proteasomes degrade damaged or unneeded proteins by proteolysis. ubiquitin is regulatory protein that labels which cells will be targeted for proteasomal degradation.
