What are 3 characteristics of a Hydrostatic Skeleton |
1. Soft Bodied invertebrates (i.e. worms) 2. Fluid in a closed body compartment 3. Transmits forces generated by contractile cells or muscle |
|
What is the polysaccharide in exoskeletons that cause it to be hard? |
Chitin |
|
What must arthropods do to accommodate growth? |

What are the two cells that Shape and Remodel Bone? |
1.Osteoblasts 2. Osteoclast |
|
What do Osteoblast do? |
Produce Bone |
|
What do Osteoclast do? |
Break Down Bone |
|
What are Joints? |
Junctions of two or more bones |
|
What covers the surface of bones in a joint? |
Articular Cartilage |
|
What are Ligaments |
Connective Tissue that connect bones and limit movement at the joint |

|
What filaments do you find in the H zone |
Myosin |
|
What filament do you find in the I band |
Actin |
|
What filament do you find in the A band |
Both actin and myosin (overlap) |
|
How do Skeletal muscles produce movement? |
by pulling on tendons |
|
What are Tendons? |
tough cords of connective tissue that anchor muscles to bone |
|
What is the hierarchy of muscle components? |
1. Myofilaments 2. Myofibrils 3. Muscle cells/fibers 4. Fascicles 5. Muscles |
|
What is the contractile unit called |
Sarcomeres |
|
What is the area that sarcomeres join together |
Z line |
|
What is Acetycholine |
A neurotransmitter |
|
What are the major steps of muscle contraction |
1. impulse releasesAcetylcholine 2. Acetylcholine binds to receptors causing an impulse in muscle cell 3. impulse cause the release of Calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum |
|
Why is calcium important in muscle contraction |
binds to troponin causing change in shape. Troponin pushes tropomyosin away, exposing active site on actin filament |
|

|
Why is ATP important in muscle contraction |
It cocks the myosin head |
|
What does ATP hydrolysis do? |
Fuels muscle contraction (but is short lived) |
|
