They maintain the bone tissue and are crucial for the exchange of nutrients and waste.
Osteocytes
43
These are bone forming cells that produce the bone matrix. They are found in the bone surface, where they secrete collagen and minerals to build new bone tissue. Once trapped in the matrix they e secreted they become osteocytes
Osteoblasts
44
These are large multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption ( breaking down bone tissue). They release enzymes and acids that dissolve bone minerals, playing a key role in bone remodeling and calcium homeostasis

51
What are the steps of endochondral ossification?
1: cartilage template (a cartilage model of the bone forms)
2: bone collar formation ( osteoblasts, which are bone building cells start forming a thin bone collar around the cartilage)
3: blood vessels invade ( blood vessels bring in osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts start turning the cartilage into bone and osteoclasts break down old cartilage and bone to make space
4: medullary cavity forms ( the center of the bone begins to hollow out, forming a medullary cavity ( bone marrow space) as osteoclasts break down tissue
5: end of bone epiphysis forms ( osteoblasts start forming bone in the ends of the cartilage
6: growth plate ( the growth plate stays allowing it to grow longer
7: bone fully forms and epiphyseal line appears and bones cannot grow anymore

- helps absorb shock (eg jumping running)
-distributes force to prevent fractures
- contains bone marrow red ( produces blood cells) and yellow ( stores fat)
Spongy bone
151
Explain buffer mechanism of bones ( how bones help maintain pH)
1: bones store calcium and phosphate
2: if your blood gets too acidic ( low pH ) bones release calcium and phosphate into the blood. These minerals neutralize the acid and help raise the pH back to normal
3: if your blood gets too basic ( high pH) bones absorb calcium and phosphate, removing them from the blood. This helps bring the pH back down
Why is this important?
- if bones keep giving away too much calcium they become weak leading to osteoporosis
152
What’s the primary site for hematopoesis in adults?
- flat bones- pelvis ( most active site in adults ) , sternum ( breastbone), ribs, skull
- irregular bones - vertebrae, scapulae
-ends of long bones ( epiphysis) - femur, humerus
Why these bones?
Because these bones contain red marrow, where blood stem cells ( hematopoietic stem cells) actively produce
153
Location:
-Found in flat bones
-end of long bones
Primary function:
-hematopoesis ( production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets)
Red due to high number of blood cells and rich blood supply, very active in blood cell production, found in new bones but gradually decreases
Red bone marrow
154
Location:
- found in the medullary cavity of long bones
Primary function
- fat storage ( energy reserve) and can convert to red marrow in extreme blood loss
Yellow due to high fat content ( adipocytes)
It’s inactive in normal conditions but can be reactivated if needed
- increases with age as red marrow converts to yellow
Yellow bone marrow
155
Origin vs insertion of a muscle
Origin
- the fixed attachment point where the muscle starts
- usually on a bone that does not move during contraction
-acts as an anchor of the muscle
Insertion
- the point where the muscle attaches and moves
- moves toward the origin when the muscle contracts
156
Origin and insertion of biceps ( arm flexion)
Origin - scapula (shoulder blade)
Insertion - radius ( forearm bone)
Action - bends ( flexes) the elbow
157
Origin and insertion of triceps brachii ( arm extension)
Origin - scapula ( shoulder blade)
Insertion - ulna ( forearm bone)
Action - straightens ( extends) the elbow
158
Origin and insertion of pectoralis major ( chest muscle)
Origin - clavicle, sternum, ribs
Insertion- humerus
Action - moves the arm forward ( flexion) , inward ( adduction)
159
Origin and insertion of deltoid ( shoulder muscle)
Origin - clavicle and scapula
Insertion - humerus
Action - lifts the arm sideways ( abduction), forward ( flexion) and backward (extension)
160
Origin and insertion of rectus femoris ( front thigh muscle)

161
Origin and insertion of gastrocnemius ( calf muscle)
Origin - femur
Insertion - heel bone
Action - points the toes ( plantar flexion) and helps with jumping
162
This
- stores calcium ions when the muscle is at rest
- it releases calcium ion when a signal for muscle contraction is received
- it pumps calcium back into storage after the contraction ends allowing muscle to relax
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
163
The thin filaments that provide the track for myosin to pull along
Actin
164
The thick filaments that pull on actin to cause muscle contraction
Myosin
165
Together they form the sliding filament mechanism where the myosin heads attach to actin perform a power stroke and slide the actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere shortening then muscle. This process requires what form of energy?
ATP
166
Explain calcium = contraction
When calcium is released into the muscle, it helps start the contraction by allowing the myosin to grab onto actin and pull them together. So basically calcium makes the muscle contract
167
Explain ATP = release
ATP is needed to release the myosin from actin after it pulls. It also helps pump calcium back into storage, which makes the muscle relax
168
Action potential of heart phase 3 repolarization
- calcium channels close and potassium channels open fully
- potassium moves out of the cell, causing the inside of the cell to become more negative
- the cell repolarizes returning to its resting state
- this allows the heart muscle to relax

-controlled by hormones
Smooth muscles
172
This is found in the right atrium it acts as the natural pacemaker of the heart by generating electrical impulses that regulate the hearts rhythm and initiate each heart beat
SA node ( sinoatrial)
173
Explain the electrical progression in the heart
1: The SA node starts the heartbeat, it’s located in the right atrium ( top chamber of the heart). It sends an electrical signal that makes the atria contract and push blood into the ventricles ( bottom chambers)
2: The signal then goes to the AV node located where the atria meet the ventricles. It slows down the signal slightly, making sure the atria finish contracting before the ventricles contact
3: After the AV node the signal moves to the bundle of his, which is a pathway that sends the signal down to ventricles
4:,The signal travels through right and left bundle branches to the right and left ventricles
5: The signal spreads out through the purkinje fibers inside the ventricles, making them contract and pump blood to the lungs ( right ventricle) and the rest of the body (left ventricle)
174
Explain the function of apex and vector
The apex is where the hearts contraction begins ( at the bottom( and the vector is the direction the electrical signals move
175
These receive signals toward the neuron
Dendrites
176
These send signals away from the neuron
Axons
