Q

Cartilage and bones

A
  • make up most of the vertebrate skeleton

- rigid tissues that consist of living cells embedded in a matrix of a protein called COLLAGEN

Q

Role of Cartilage

A
  • covers end of bones at joints
  • supports flexible portion of ears and nose
  • connects ribs to the sternum (breast bone)
  • forms tough, shock- absorbing pads

Q

Chrondrocytes

A
  • cells of cartilage
  • secrete a flexible, elastic matrix of collagen
  • rely on the gradual diffusion of materials
  • slow metabolic rate (repairs itself slowly)

Q

Osteoclasts

A

Bone dissolving cells

19
Q

Bone remodeling

A
  • A process in which 5% to 10% of all the bone in your body is dissolved away and replaced
  • allows skeleton to alter its shape subtly
  • result of coordinated activity between osteoclasts and osteoblasts
20
Q

Osteons (Haversian System)

A
  • Tightly packed units that make up hard bone

- consist of concentric layers of bone with embedded osteocytes

21
Q

Calcitonin

A
  • type of hormone

- cause bone to absorb calcium

22
Q

Parathormone

A
  • type of hormone

- cause bone to release calcium into the blood

23
Q

Antagonistic muscles

A

Muse that work in opposing pairs

24
Synergistic action
Muscles working in groups for a common action
25
Tone
Continuous contraction of muscle fibers causing the muscle to look firm
26
Fast twitch Muscle Fiber
- few mitochondria - anaerobic (rely on fermentation) - designed for strength - little/ no myoglobin - light in color - fewer blood vessels
27
Joints
Point where two bones meet
28
Tendons
Attach MUSCLES to BONES
29
Ligaments
Attach BONES to JOINTS
30
Origin
Attachment of a muscle on a stationary bone
31
Insertion
Attachment of a muscle on a bone that moves
32
Flexor
- muscle that narrow at the angle of the joint | - in hinge joint
33
Extensor
- in hinge joint | - straighten at the joint
34
Sliding joint
- found in vertebrate column - allows small sliding movements - bending over
35
Pivot joint
Allows movement turning side to side
36
Fixed joint
- allows no movement | - found in your skull
37
Myasthenia Gravis
Autoimmune disease I which antibodies block or attack acetylcholine receptors
38
Muscular dystrophy
A group of diseases that causes progressive muscle weakness
39
Motile organisms
Organisms that can move
40
Sessile organisms
Organisms that do not move
41
Earthworm locomotion
Setae
42
Euglena locomotion
Flagellum
43
Hydra locomotion
- usually sessile | - somersaulting
44
Ameba locomotion
Sol- gel relationship
45
Paramecium locomotion
Cilia
