Term
what is the difference between the functions of the skeletal and muscular system
Definition
skeletal system is responsible for the physical support and locomotion while the muscle generates force
Term
what is the structure of the moving force of unicellular organisms
Definition
they move by cilia or flagella…..the have 9 pairs of microtubules and 2 single in the center…pseudopodia
Term
what are the mechanisms of movement for unicellular cells
Definition
power stroke is thrusting movement by flagella…..recovery stroke is returning of flagella/cilia to its orginial position
Term
how is locomotion of flatworms
Definition
an incompressable fliud called hydrostatic skeleton is resists the contraction of (longitutal muscle layer which shortens the animal) (circular make the fliud run longitudanlly)
Term
how is locomotion of annelids
Definition
the bristles on the lower part of each segment, called SETAE, anchor so the muscles from the HYDROSTATIC SKELETON push it
Term
what is the common feature of invertebrates for locomotion
Definition
exoskeleton covers all body systems which are common in arthropods (insects have chitin)…they to moltining and deposition of new exoskelton thus limiting growth
Term
endoskelton
Definition
for vertebrates, they protect vital organs (heart,lungs,brain, spinal chord)…major components is cartilage and bone
Term
cartilage
Definition
connective tissue that is soft and flexible…located at external ear,nose,larynx wall, trachea wall, skeletal joins
Term
general function of bone
Definition
connective tissue used to support, withstand physical stress
Term
compact bone
Definition
dense w/no appearing cavities. Consists of units of osteons(Haversian system)…. CaPO3 or lamella is the surrounding of osteons.H aversian canal is the center os osteons
Term
spongy bone
Definition
less dense contains cavities in bony spicules (trabculae), adipose fills up cavities with yellow marrow(inactivity)….red marrow is filled with blood cell formation
Term
what are the two conversing cell types in bone
Definition
osteoblasts synthesis and secrete bone matrix material and then mature to osctecytes……..osteoclasts destroy bones aka bone resorption
Term
types of bone formation/ossification
Definition
endochondrial bone formation(cartilage turns into bone,usually long bones)…..intramembronous(meschymal or undifferientated connective tissue becomes bone
Term
axial skelton
Definition
basic framework of body, consisting of skull, vertebral column, and rib cage
Term
appendicular skeleton
Definition
attaches to axial skeleton…appendeges, pectoral, pelvic girdles
Term
how to bones move relative to one another
Definition
movable joints hold them together…(ligaments connect bone-to-bone) (tendons connects bone-to-muslce at movable joints)
Term
what is the point of attachment from muscle to stationary bone
Definition
origin
Term
what is the point of attachment from muscle to moving bone
Definition
insertion
Term
extension
Definition
indicates straightening of a joint
Term
flexion]
Definition
refers to the bending of a joint
Term
what are the types of muscles in mammals
Definition
skeletal muscle(voluntary), smooth muscle(involuntary), cardiac muscle
Term
what kind of nucleues does skeletal muscle have
Definition
multinucleated from fusion of embryonic cells
Term
how is the skeletal muscle divided
Definition
myofibrils which is divided into sacromeres
Term
how is the myofibril structured
Definition
surrounded by modified ER called sarcoplasmic reticulum,,cyctoplasm called sacroplasm,,lots of mitochondria,,cell membrane called sarcolemma which initiates action potential
Term
how is the action potential like in the muscle cells
Definition
is done by transverse tubules (T system) which is perpendicular to the myofibrils, the T system has channels for ions to come in and initiate the AP
Term
how is the muscle "straited"
Definition
skeletal system has striations of light and dark bands
Term
during contraction what changes
Definition
H zone(distance between actins) I band(distance between myosin filaments
Term
what stimulates muscle contraction
Definition
from somatic nervous system sent via motor neurons
Term
neuromuscular
Definition
the link between nerve terminla(synaptic bouton) and the sarcolemma of the msuclefiber
Term
what realeases neurotransmitters
Definition
depolarization of motor neurons (acetylcholine)
Term
how does action potentional cause contraction of sacromeres
Definition
the sacrolemma (miscular cell membrane) and the T system make the sacroplasmic reticulum release Ca ions which cause the sacromeres contract by sliding the myosin and actin moving towards each other
Term
what is needed for a stimulus for muscle contration
Definition
all-or-none response with a threshold value needed
Term
simple twitch
Definition
is when a single muscle gets a stimulus at or above threshold
Term
what is the steps in a simple twitch
Definition
latent(low force-AP spreads to the sacrolemma, and Ca ions are released)..contraction period(increasing force)…..relaxation period(decrease force muscle is unresponsive to a stimulus)
Term
what is the steps in a summation and tetanus
Definition
simple twitches occur and occur at a increasingly frequent rate so the force will increase steadly(summation)…..then a tetnus occurs(a long plataeu peak because relaxation cannot occur), and then fatigue(force and contractions goes down
Term
what is the cardiac muscle made up out of
Definition
skeltal and smooth muscles
Term
how is the nucelus like for cardia mucle
Definition
one or two central nuclei
Term
how does cardia muscle look
Definition
straited
Term
how does smooth muscle nucleus
Definition
one nucleus
Term
what part of the nervous system controls the smooth muscle
Definition
auntmoic of the PNS
Term
how to smooth muscles look
Definition
no straited
Term
tonus
Definition
a state of partial contraction muscle are never completely relaxed
Term
what are energy reserves for muscle contractions
Definition
creatine phosphate(vertebrates)….arginine phosphate(invertebrates) stores energy……..myoglobin protein with high oxygen affinity
Term
how is the sacromere structured drawing
