1. List 4 functions of bones
|
Movement, structure, support, protection.
|
|
2. Bones are categorized into 4 categories (according to their structure)
|
Flat-skull frontal bone, irregular-coxal, long-femur, short-phalanges.
|
|
3. What type of bone makes up long bones & where in the long bone do you find it?
|
Spongy bone, in the diaphysis.
|
|
5. Name 2 types of cartilage & an example of each
|
Hyaline-
Cartilage- |
|
8. What is the function of mature Osteoblast (Osteocyte), & what happens in their absence?
|
They mineralize the osteiod matrix
|
|
9. What hormones control Bone Devlopment & Growth in:
|
a. Childhood- growth
b. Puberty- sex |
|
11. What is Osteoporosis? (include whats wrong in the condition)
|
There is an imbalance between the osteoblast and osteoclast. More bone is being destroyed than developed.
|
|
13. What makes up the Axial & the Appendicular Skeleton?
|
Axial- skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum.
Appendicular- limbs, |
|
14. What is Sinusitis? (include its symptoms, & cause)
|
The sinuses are inflamed and mucus gets trapped inside causing sinus headache.
|
|
16. VC is divided into many sections, name all the sections & include how many vertebrae are in each section
|
Cervical-7, thoracic- 12, lumbar- 5, saccrum-5 fused, coccyx- 4 fused
|
|
17. What is the function of a Intervertebral Disk & what is it composed of?
|
To absorb shock and cushion the bones. Made of fibro-cartilage.
|
|
18. What is a Herniated Disk? (include its symptoms, cause & treatment)
|
A displacement of a vertebral disk.
|
|
19. Name 2 types of joints & an example of each
|
Fibrous- skull
Cartiligous- sternum Synovial- Shoulder |
|
23. What Filaments are found in a Sarcomere
|
Thick and thin.
|
|
24. Muscle contraction is dependent on the interaction between what filaments?
|
Thick and thin
|
|
29. Once one cycle of contraction ends (when a ATP binds to myosin & causes the thin & thick filaments to separate), what happens if:
a. Calcium is still present b. No calcium is present |
A. The cycle continues.
B. The muscle cell rest |
|
30. How does the Action Potential generated on a muscle travel to the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
|
Through T Tubules
|
|
32. Muscle ells needs ATP for contraction, its able to stores ATP for 10 sec of work; after that from where do they get the ATP (3 different sources)?
|
Creatin Phosphate, glycogen, aerobic metabolism of glucose.
|
|
34. How many types of Skeletal muscle fibers are there, & what are they called?
|
2.
fast twitch and slow twitch. |
|
36. Know the speed of contraction (not excat # but in order from fastest – slowest) of the 3 muscle types
|
Fastest, skeletal, cardiac, smooth.
|
|
38. Myasthenia Gravis (know whats the problem in the Disease & how it effects the normal process, its symptoms & its treatment)
|
a neuromuscular disorder characterized by variable weakness of voluntary muscles, which often improves with rest and worsens with activity. The condition is caused by an abnormal immune response
|
|
Tetanus (know whats the problem in the Disease & how it effects the normal process
|
a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers.
|
|
40. Muscular Dystrophy ( know whats the problem in the Disease & how it effects the normal process & its symptoms
|
muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue
|
|
41. Function of blood can be categorized into 3 categories, give 2 of these categories & an example of each
|
Transportation and protection.
|
|
42. Tell me 2 type of proteins found in plasma & for each of the protein tell one of its function
|
Albumins- create oncotic pressure.
Fibrinogens- blood coagulation. |
|
Bilirubin:
|
Found in hemoglobin
|
|
45. What is the life span of RBCs, where & what kills them & what is released once RBCs are killed?
|
120. Liver and spleen.
|
|
. Name the 2 categories WBCs are categorized into & give me one WBC found in each category & a characteristic of that WBC
|
Granulocytes- Neutrophils – Most abundant & 1st to combat infection
Agranulocytes- Lymphocytes - contain b and t cells. |
|
are the 4 stages that occur during blood clotting?
|
1. Vessel Injury
2. Vascular Spasm 3. Platelet plug formation 4. Clot Formation |
|
50. What is the function of Prothrombin Activator & what is need for it to function?
|
Prothrombin Activator – released from platelets & converts Prothrombin to thrombin (requires Ca)
|
|
51. What is the function of Thrombin & Fibrin?
|
Thrombin – converts fibrinogen to fibrin
Fibrin – Wraps around the platelet plug &holds it in place |
|
52. What happens after the initial fibrin clot is formed?
|
Platelets in clot contract → clot tightens & vessel ends are pulled together
