Bone Matrix
Answer: -35% organic and 65% inorganic
-Collagen fibers
-Calcium and phosphate minerals
-Proteoglycans
-Glycoproteins
Proteoglycans
Answer: • polysaccharides which include glucosamine and chondroitin
• Strengthen the bone by forming compression-resistant networks between the
collagen and the calcium

Each muscle fiber is a single muscle cell and contains bundles of
Answer: myofibrils which are the muscle fiber's functional subunits.
The myofibrils run in a parallel arrangement along the
Answer: longitudinal axis of the muscle, (or lengthwise down the muscle).
A muscle fiber is long and cylindrical and is surrounded by
Answer: a two-part membrane.
The sarcolemma contains the plasma membrane of the muscle cell and is capable of
Answer: propagating electrical impulses to initiate muscle contraction.
The basement membrane serves as the cell's
Answer: microskeleton and maintains the shape of the muscle cell.
The sarcoplasm is the
Answer: cytoplasm of the muscle cell and contains the common intracellular
components of a cell like the mitochondria and ribosomes.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum, which run parallel to the myofibrils, and the T tubules
that run perpendicular to the myofibrils, are involved in
