Which of the terms associated with a synovial joint are mismatched?
A. synovial fluid: reduces friction between articulating bones
B. bursae: provides cushion so that bone doesn’t rub against soft tissue

T/F
A syndesmosis is classified structually as a slightly movable joint.
False
A syndesmosis is classified functionally as a slightly movable joint
T/F
Muscle fascicles that arranged as shown below are referred to as pennate

false
muscle fascicles that are arranged as shown below are referred to as multipennate
T/F
The rotation of the humerous is such a way as to move the forearm away from the midline of the body as shown in the picutre below is called medial rotation

False
away from the midline of the body as shown in the picture below is called lateral rotation
T/F

T/F
The articulation formed between a tooth and its bony socket (alveolus) is functionally classified as a fibrous joint
False
The articulation formed between a tooth and its bony socket is functionally classified as a synarthrotic joint

plantar flexion

Dorsiflexion
each of these pictures represent a special types of synovial joint movements. Each is classified as a type of flexion. Give one reason why both are classified as flexion.
the flexion is relative to the surface of the foot and decreasing the angle between the surface of the foot and lower limb
A-bands
striation caused by difference in appearance due to orientation
I-bands
part of a striation caused by having the same appearance, independent of orientation
actin
composed of globular protiens having active sites for cross-bridge formation
filament
contractile componet composed of either thick or thin threads of protein
H-zone
region of a sarcomere that appears bright and polarized microscopy; disapears when the sarcomere is fully contracted
myosin
composed of pivoting “heads” and protein fibers that form cross-bridges
Titan
large elastic protein that is found in sarcomeres to allow muscles to relax
tropomyosin
regulatory protein that changes shape to expose active sites for cross-bridges
troponin
regulatory protein that binds calcium to facilitate cross-bridge formation
