what does the system consist of?
muscle, bones, joints and supporting structures
1 of 41
what are the 3 types of muscle?
smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle
2 of 41
what is smooth muscle?
non-striated, involuntary, located in blood vessels or hollow organs
3 of 41
what is skeletal muscle?
works in pairs, striated, voluntary, made of hundreds of muscle fibres
4 of 41
what is cardiac muscle?
only found in the heart, striated, involuntary
5 of 41
functions of muscle tissue
body movements, stabilising body positions, producing heat, storing & moving substances
6 of 41
what are the 3 layers connective tissue in skeletal muscle?
outer epimusium, central perimysium & inner endomusium
7 of 41
what does the sarcoplasmic reticulum contains?
calcium and myoglobin
8 of 41
what are the thick filaments in the sarcomere?
myosin
9 of 41
what are the thin filaments in the sarcomere?
actin, tropomyosin & troponin
10 of 41
true or false, thin filaments are attached to Z discs
true
11 of 41
true or false, each actin has a myosin binding site but is blocked by tropomyosin when relaxed
true
12 of 41
true or false, calcium diffuses into sarcoplasm and binds to tropomyosin
false - binds to troponin
13 of 41
how can ATP be created?
Creatine phosphate, anaerobic respiration and aerobic repsiration
14 of 41
what is anaerobic respiration?
breaks down stored glycogen into ATP for about 2 minutes
15 of 41
what is aerobic repsiration?
uses o2 to produce enough ATP for prolonged action
16 of 41
what is a twitch tension
brief response to a single action potential stimulating muscle fibre
17 of 41
whats a slow oxidative skeletal muscle?
called red fibres, lots of myoglobin, prolonged and sustained contractions
18 of 41
whats a fast oxidative-glycolytic skeletal muscle?
fibres that contain lots of myoglobin and glycogen, contracts and relaxes quckily
19 of 41
whats a fast glycolytic skeletal muscle?
fibres containing large amounts of glycogen and fatigue quckily
20 of 41
functions of bones & skeletal system?
supporting framework, protection, assists in movement, haemopoiesis
21 of 41
what are the 4 types of bones?
long, flat, short, irregular
22 of 41
what does the epiphyses part of the bone do?
ends of the bone
23 of 41
what does the diaphysis part of the bone do?
main part of the bone
24 of 41
what does the epiphyseal plate part of the bone do?
growing part of the bone
25 of 41
what does the articular cartilage part of the bone do?
joins bone to bone
26 of 41
what does the periosteum part of the bone do?
covering of the bone
27 of 41
what does the endosteum part of the bone do?
thin lining of cavity
28 of 41
what is osseous tissue?
extensive extracelluar matrix and widely separated cells
29 of 41
what are the 4 types of osseous tissue?
osteoprogenitor cell, osteoblasts, osteocyte, osteoclast
30 of 41
what is compact bone tissue?
arranged in osteons that run longitudinally, dense bone
31 of 41
what is spongy bone tissue?
consists of units called trabeculae, irregular latticework, site of haemopoiesis, forms short, flat & irregular bones
32 of 41
Synarthrosis joint (functional)
immovable joint
33 of 41
Amphiarthrosis joint (functional)
slightly moveable joint
34 of 41
Diarthrosis joint (functional)
freely moveable joint
35 of 41
Fibrous joint (structual)
held by dense irregular connective tissue
36 of 41
Cartilaginous joint (structual)
held by cartilage
37 of 41
Synovial joint (structual)
ligaments support joint
38 of 41
Types of synovial joints
plane, hinge, pivot, saddle, ball&socket
39 of 41
what are tendons?
connects bone to muscle, great tensile strength
40 of 41
what are ligaments?
fibrous connective tissue attaching bone to bone
