Synarthroses –
|
“Together joint”. Immoveable joint. Such as sutures. Made of fibrous connective tissues
|
|
Amphiarthroses –
|
“Both joint”. Slightly moveable. Joint made of fibrocartilage. Such as pubic symphysis and the intervertebral discs
|
|
Synovial –
|
“Together with egg”. Fluid looks like egg whites. Most joints are synovial.
|
|
Origin –
|
The muscle that doesn’t move when the muscle contracts (RED)
|
|
Insertion –
|
The point on the bone that moves when the muscle contracts (BLUE)
|
|
Action –
|
action is the movement that occurs
|
|
Aponeurosis –
|
Flat tendon structures. Sheet of connective tissues. (head, gluteus maximus)
|
|
Peristeum –
|
Lines the outside of the bone and is continuous with the joint capsule. Contains osteoprogenitor cells
|
|
Medial and lateral collateral ligament –
|
The ligaments that prevent the knee from being pushed in/out.
|
|
Sack of Synovial Fluid –
|
Guards against friction. Is between the ligament and the bone
|
|
Synovial membrane and synovial fluid –
|
Fills the space between the tibia and the femur.
|
|
Articular cartilage –
|
lines the joints in the bone. Made of hyaline cartilage
|
|
Anterior and posterior Ligament –
|
muscles that cross in the middle of synovial space between the femur and the tibia.
|
|
Muscle purpose:
|
Movement, posture, stabilization, and heat generation.
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis –
|
inflammation of the synovial membrane.
|
|
Perimysium –
|
Connective tissue surrounding/enclosing each fascicle
|
|
Epimysium –
|
Connective tissue surrounding the entire muscle. Continuous with the connective tissue.
|
|
Sarcomere –
|
Contractile unit of tissue. A set of myosin and it’s actin.
|
|
Fiber –
|
A muscle cell
|
|
Endomysium –
|
Thin connective tissue surrounding each muscle cell. Made of areolar tissue.
|
|
Sarcolemma –
|
“husk”. The plasma membrane around each muscle cell
|
|
Myofibril –
|
Long, filamentous organelle found within muscle cells that has a banded appearance. Takes up 80% of the cell.
|
|
Myofillament –
|
Actin- or myosin-containing structures
|
|
Tendon –
|
cordlike extension of connective tissue beyond the muscle, serving to attach it to the bone
|
|
Fascicle –
|
A bundle of muscle cells.
|
|
A Band –
|
Where myosin and actin overlap. The dark part. “It’s myosin and clan, it’s the A Band”.
|
|
I Band –
|
Actin-only. The lighter striation. (“Tall and thin, it’s actin!”)
|
|
H zone –
|
Myosin only
|
|
Z discs/line –
|
The anchors between actin fibers. The borders of the sarcomere.
|
|
Motor unit –
|
A motor neuron and all the skeletal muscles that it stimulates
|
|
Synaptic cleft –
|
The area between the axon terminal and the muscle cell.
|
|
Acetylcholine –
|
The neurotransmitter that is released onto skeletal muscles.
|
|
T tubule –
|
Channels into the cell that allow extracellular fluid to bring the ions of the AP into all the sarcomeres.
|
|
Sacroplasmic Reticulum –
|
Releases calcium when triggered by the AP. Calcium allows the actin to attach to the myosin.
|
|
Tropomyosin –
|
A protein that binds to the actin’s binding spot, preventing it from binding to myosin
|
|
Graded Muscle’s Response –
|
The muscle’s ability to adjust to the demands placed on it.
|
|
Summation –
|
When two APs come close together, the second one is stronger than the first one. Can lead to sustains contractions (tetnus)
|
|
Concentric –
|
Muscles that work by shortening.
|
|
Eccentric –
|
Muscle does work by lengthening.
|
|
Isometric contractions –
|
Muscle length remains the same.
