The end of long bones, which is mainly composed of cancellous bone, and
Epiphysis house much of the red marrow involved in red blood cell production. They are also
on f the primary sites for bone growth
Fascia The outermost lay of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle
Fascicle groupie of muscle fibers that house myofibrils
Muscle fibers that can also be characterized by the term type IIA and IIB. These
Fast twitch fibers fibers contain fewer capillaries, mitochondria, and myoglobin. They fatigue faster
than type I fibers.
Golgi Tendon Organs Receptors sensitive to change in tension of the muscle and the rate of that change
Involves the anatomic structures of the lumbar and thoracic spines, the pelvic
Limbo-Pelvic-hip complex
girdle, and the hip joint
The portion of the sarcomere where the myosin filaments connect with very thin
M-Line
filaments called titin and create an anchor for the structures of the sarcomere
Mechanoreceptors Sensory receptors responsible for sensing distortion in body tissues.
Medullar Cavity The central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored.
Muscle Spindles receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of that change
Myofibrils A portion of muscle that contains myofilaments
Myofilaments The contractile proteins, actin and myosin, of muscle cells
Perimysium The connective tissue surrounds fascicles
Peripheral Nervous System Cranial and spinal nerves that spread throughout the body
Another term for type I muscle fibers, fibers that are characterized by a greater
Slow twitch fibers amount of capillaries, mitochondria, and myoglobin. These fibers usually found to
have a higher endurance capacity than fast twitch fibers
Synergist Muscles that assist prime movers during functional movement patterns
Joints that are held together by a joint capsule and ligaments and are most
synovial joint
associated with movement in the body.
A joint without any joint cavity and fibrous connective tissue. Examples would include
synarthrosis joint
sutures of the skull and symphysis pubis.
A joint where the condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone
Condyloid Joint
to form the joint. Example would include the knee joint
Gliding joint allows one bone to slide over another; found in wrist and ankles
A uniaxial joint that allows movement in one plane of motion. Examples would
Hinge Joint
include the elbow and ankle
Atria 2 upper chambers of the heart
Ventricle Lower chamber of the heart
Right Atria Recieves deoxygenated blood from the body
Right Ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood from right atria into the pulmonary artery (lungs)
Left atria recieves blood from pulmonary veins, blood now oxy-rich
Left Ventricle Pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta to the body
Contralateral positioned on the opposite side of the body
ipsilateral on the same side of the body
Isokinetic Muscle Action When a muscle shortens at a constant speed over the full range of motion
