Q

What is the purpose of collagen in bones?

A

keeps bones flexible

17
Q

What is the purpose of crystal mineral made of calcium and phosphate

A

resists compression

18
Q

What is Trabecula

A

branching plates of bone forming irregular cavities

19
Q

True or False: Bone Lamellae (layers) are not organized?

A

False! They are very organized: run parallel to the lines of force and tension that pass through the bone

20
Q

What are the strong fibrous connective tissue that holds together bone of moveable joints?

21
Q

What do Osteocytes (mature bone cells) do?

A

they repair bones and shape bones throughout life

22
Q

What is the difference between osteoblasts and osteoclasts

A

Osteoblasts -> bone forming cells
Osteoclasts -> bone-resorbing cells

23
Q

What are three things bone do besides support and movement?

A

Protection
Mineral and Growth Factor Storage
Blood Cell Formation

24
Q

What are the three types of muscles

A

Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac

25
Of Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac muscle which is voluntary
Skeletal
26
Muscles are composed of tubular cells called...
myocytes aka muscles fibers in striated muscle
27
What are sacomeres
repeating groups of overlapping thick and thin filaments
28
What are myofibrils?
contracting unit of a striated muscle cell
29
Sarcomere contracts when its _____ filaments slide along its ______ filaments
thin (actin), thick (myosin)
30
How does nerve cell signal need for muscle contraction work?
myosin in thick filaments attach to actin filaments pull towards center of sarcomere
31
What is sacroplasmic reticulum?
Specialized endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells
32
When do contractions stop?
When motor neurons stop sending action potentials to muscle fibers
33
What is concentric contraction?
Muscle tension overcomes load and shorten
34
What is Eccentric contraction
load is more than peak tension; muscles lengthen
35
Concentric contraction and eccentric contraction are types of what?
Isotonic contraction
36
Is there a change in length during isotonic contraction?n
yes
37
Is there a change in length during isometric changing tension?
no they stay the same length
38
What are slow-twitch fibers?
cycle myosin more slowly; constant slow contraction of ATP
39
What are fast-twitch fibers?
cycle myosin faster and generate more power; ATP from fermentation
