What are the two layers within the Epidermis?

1. Stratum Basale (bottom)


2. Stratum Corneum (top)

What are Melanocytes and Where do you find them?

1. They produce pigment called melanin (which cause color in skin)


2. Found in the stratum Basale

What are Keratinocytes and where do you find them?

1. Produce Keratin (protein that gives skin strength and flexibility)


2. Found throughout epidermis

What is the thickest Layer of Skin?

Dermis

What is the purpose/function of the Skeletal System?

1. Support and protect body


2. Transmit mechanical forces generated by contractions (moves the body)

What are the 3 types of Skeletal systems?

1. Hydrostatic Skeleton


2. Exoskeleton


3. Endoskeleton

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?

Molt

What are 2 examples that have an endoskeleton

1.Echinoderms


2. Chordates

What are the 2 divisions of the Vertebrate Skeleton?

1. Axial Skeleton


2. Appendicular Skeleton

Where do you find the Axial Skeleton?

Located along the central axis of the body?

What is the Axial Skeleton made up of?

1. Skull


2. Spine


3. Ribs


4. Sternum

Where is the Appendicular Skeleton Found?

Bones of the limbs (arms and legs)

What is the Appendicular Skeleton made up of?

1. Pectoral Girdle (shoulder)


2. Pelvic girdle (hip)


3. Limbs

What are the two types of bones?

1. Endochondral Bone


2. Intramembranous Bone

What is a Endochondral Bone

1. long Bones


2. Develop from cartilage templates


3. Ex. Femur

What is an Intramembranous Bone

1. Develop from a non cartilage connective tissue model


2. Skull

What is the structure of Long Bone?

1. Outer shell of compact bone


2. Spongy Bone


3. Central Cavity with bone marrow

What is another name for the shaft of the bone?

Diaphysis

What is another name for the ends of the bone?

Epiphysis

What color is Bone Marrow

Yellow and Red

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 are the 3 types of Joints?

1. Immovable


2. Slightly Movable


3. Freely Movable

What is an example Slightly Movable Joints?

Intervertebral discs

What is an example of immovable joints?

sutures b/w bones in the skull

What is an example of Freely Movable Joints?

Wrist (Joint Capsules)

What are the two contractile proteins called

1. Actin


2. Myosin

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

What does ATP stand for

Adenosine Tri-Phosphate

Why is ATP important in muscle contraction

It cocks the myosin head

What does ATP hydrolysis do?

Fuels muscle contraction (but is short lived)

What is Creatine phosphate

Backup energy Compound

What is Glycogen

With sufficient oxygen it can be broken down to replenish ATP and Creatine

What are the three types of skeletal muscle fibers

1. Slow-oxidative fibers (red fibers)


2. Fast-glycolytic fibers (White fibers)


3. Fast-oxidative fibers (intermediate fibers)
