Unit 1- Test Flashcards
Compact Bones?
- Covers the surface
- Dense
What are the 4 Body Cavities?
- what they contain/located
1) Cranial: Brain
2) Spinal: Contains the spine
3) Thoratic: Above diaphragm: Contains heart and lungs
4) Abdominal: Below diaphragm: Digestive System
Haversian Canals?
Part of which bone?
- holes that contain nerves and blood vessels
COMPACT BONE!
Spongy Bones?
- strength without weight
- ends/center of bones
Name the 4 functions of the skeletal system.
1) Supports: keeps body upright
2) Protects Organs
3) Attachment Site for muscles: Movement
4) Blood Cell Production
What are the 4 Body Tissues?
- DETAILS!!
1) Muscular Tissue:
- Cells that Contract. - Skeletal: Voluntary. - Cardiac/Smooth: Involuntary.
2) Nervous Tissue:
- Cells transmit messages.
3) Epithelial Tissue:
- Protects/Covers the body, organs, and lines cavities.
4) Connective Tissue:
- Supports/Covers/Separates different organs/tissue in the body, such as bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood, and fat.
What is Ossification?
Starts as cartilage and is replaced by bone.
What is a ligament?
- What type of injury is this.
A ligament is Bone to Bone.
Injury Type= Sprain
What is a Tendon?
- What type of injury is this.
A tendon is Muscle to Bone.
Injury Type= Strain
What are the 4 moveable joints?
- There is an example with each.
1) Hinge:
- Knee/Elbow
2) Pivot:
- Head/Neck
3) Angular, Gliding, or Saddle:
- Wrist/Ankle
4) Ball and Socket:
- Hip/Shoulder
1) What is the Function of the Joints?
2) What are 3 reasons why?
1) Movement and Cushioning.
2) ~Bursae: sacs that reduce friction.
~Synovial Fluid: thick liquid that lubricates/absorbs shock.
~Articular Cartilage: at the ends of bones, slippery, reduces friction.
What are the 3 types of muscular tissue?
- How they are stimulated
- Whether they have striations or not
- Are they Voluntary/Involuntary
1) Skeletal Muscle: Attached to bones
- Voluntary: Consciously Controlled
- Striated: Microscopically striped due to organization of thread like protein fiber actin, and myosin.
- Stimulated by nerves to contract.
2) Cardiac Muscles: ONLY in the heart
- Striated
- Self-stimulated by electrical signals of “pacemakers”- bundle of cells in the heart
- Muscle fibers are branched so stimulation of 1 muscle fiber stimulates others
3) Smooth Muscle: Esophagus, Stomach, Intestines, Blood Vessels
- Involuntary
- No striations: still have actin and myosin but more randomly organized
- Stimulated by nerves
- Slower to contract but holds longer with same energy
What are the 5 steps in the SLIDING FILAMENT THEROY?
1) Calcium is released causing myosin to reach for action.
2) Z Lines move closer together.
3) Muscle Contracts.
4) ATP breaks bonds causing relaxation.
5) Lactic Acid is a waste product.
What is ALL OR NONE RESPONSE?
Either a fiber contracts or it does not contract.
What are the types of Skeletal Muscle contractions?
- Each as an example.
- Know only 2
1) Isometric: Sustained contraction of a muscle.
- Wall Sits and Planks
2) Plyometric: Stretching of a muscle before it contracts to increase the force of contraction.
- Hopping
