means "within a muscle" - lyer of connective tissue that ensheaths a muscle fiber
perimesium is?
ensheaths a group of ind. muscle fibers. (10-100) or more into bundles or fascicles
synaptic gap is?
space between cell membrane of axon terminal and the target cell that it synapses with. They do not touch.
neuron is?
nerve cell. Any conduction cells of nervous system
What does acetylcholine do?
transmits nerve impulses in body
When is a neurotransmitter released?
after arrival of action potential
Why is nuerotransmitter released?
It aids in contraction.
How is nureotransmitter released?
When a nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal.
communuted fracture is?
Breaks into many fragments - common w/ older people
Compression Fracture is?
Crushed bone - common in older people
depressed Fracture is?
Bone portion pressed inward -typical of skull fracture
Impacted Fracture is?
Bone ends forced into each other
Variance
The average of the squared differences from the mean of each score. A measure of how widespread the score distribution is. The square root is the standard deviation.
Axial Skeleton includes?

How many thoracic vertibrae ? (middle area -chest)
12 - articulate w/ ribs also
How many Lumbar vertibrae ? (lower area)
5 - massive and block like - strongest
Name of discs between vertibrae?
intervertibral discs
foramina?
small opening within a bone
what is the atlas?
The first cervical vertibrae. Has no body.
What is the axis?
2nd cervical vertibrae. Acts as a pivot for atlas and skull.
What are the Floating ribs ?
Last 2 pairs w/ no sternal attachment
False ribs are different from floating ribs how?
False are 2nd set (8-12) attached to sternum
2 function of joints?
Hold bones together and skeleton mobility
3 types of joints are?
fibrous - immovable
cartilaginous -slightly movable to immovable
synovial - freely movable
sternum is how many bones
3 fused bones -
manubrium , body, xiphoid process
what type of bone is breast bone and another name used?
flat bone - sternum w/ 3 fused bones
What is the manubrium?
Body of the sternum bone (middle area)
What is the xiphoid process bone?
Fused bone of the 3 fused on the sternum
Parts of the femur?
Thigh bone w/ ball like head, a neck, trochanters (greater and lesser) seperated by intertrochanteric line. Gluteual teberocity (on shaft)
What part of femur is common fracture sight?
The neck of femur
What does amphiaethrosis mean?
Slightly movable
(axial skeleton)
What does sympathrosis mean?
Immovable joints (skull and some axial)
What does diathrosis mean?
Freely movable
(limbs)
What is hematopiesis ?
Formation of blood cells
What is another word for joints?
articulations
Where is formation of blood ?
In bones w/ red and white blood cells
What is effectors?
Effects a muscle response, activation muscles or glands
What are receptors?
They monitor changes in and out of the body.
What is an axon?
Nerve fiber. Long thread-like extension of neuron.
What is a synapse?
A junction that clasps or joins where the axon terminal is seperated from next neuron.
What is the cerebellum?
Hind brain. Produces smoothly coordinated skeletal muscle activity.
What is mid brains?
Part of the brain stem (middle part)
What is the brain stem?
includes mid brain, pons, and medulla oblongata connected to spinal cord.
What job does olfactory cranial nerve do?
smell
What job does optic nerve do?
vision
What job does oculomotor nerve do?

rolls eyes laterally (lateral rectus muscle)
What is dura mater?
outermost layer, leathery, "tough or hard mother" double layered that surrounds brain
What 3 connective tissues cover and protect the CNS?
Dura mater, Arachnoid, and pia mater
What is microglia?
Spiderlike phagocytes that dispose of debris and dead brain cells and bacteria
What is ganglia?
small collection of cell bodies (Ganglion) found in a few sights outside CNS in the PNS.
What are astrocytes?
