Q

Cellular components of bone:

• precursor to other bone-cell types

Study These Flashcards
A

Osteogenic cell

Ch. 9 Obj. 2

25
Cellular components of bone: • forms bone
Osteoblasts (bone building blasts) *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
26
Cellular components of bone: • maintains bone tissue
Osteocytes *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
27
Cellular components of bone: • breaks down bone
Osteoclasts (bone chewing clasts) *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
28
Disease when bone has too much mineral and becomes brittle and fractures easily
Osteogenesis imperfecta *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
29
Condition where bone has too much collagen and bones are soft and pliable
Children: rickets Adults: osteomalacia *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
30
A compound of calcium, phosphate and hydroxyl groups that primarily makes the inorganic portion of bone
Hydroxyapatite *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
31
2 Extracellular components of bone
Inorganic Organic *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
32
Extracellular components of bone: • portion mostly made up of hydroxyapatite
Inorganic
33
Extracellular components of bone: • portion mostly collagen
Organic *Ch. 9 Obj. 2*
34
Role of calcitonin in bone remodeling and blood Ca++ regulation
⬆️ osteoblasts ⬆️ bone formation ⬇️ osteoclasts ⬇️ blood Ca++ *Ch. 9 Obj. 9-10*
35
Role of PTH in bone remodeling and blood Ca++ regulation
⬆️ osteoclasts ⬆️ blood Ca++ ⬇️ osteoblasts ⬇️ bone formation *Ch. 9 Obj. 9-10*
36
Role of calictriol in blood Ca++ regulation
* hormonally-active vitamin D * not directly involved with bone * PTH stimulates kidneys to release it which ⬆️ absorption of Ca++ from food *Ch. 9 Obj. 9-10*
37
The point of contact between nervous and muscular system
Neuromuscular junction *Ch. 10 Obj. 11*
38
List, in order, the events which create the neuromuscular junction that result in an action potential in muscle
• motor neuron action potential arrives @ neuromuscular junction 1. Action potential triggers release of ACH 2. ACH diffuses across the space(synaptic cleft) between nerve and muscle cells ➡️ binds to ACH receptors ➡️ triggers a muscle cells action potential 3. Action potential travels along and into muscle cells to begin contraction cycle 4. ACH broke. Down by enzyme AChE(acetylcholinesterase) *Ch. 10 Obj. 12*
39
Describe sequence of events that link muscle cell action potential to release of Ca++ from sarcoplasmic reticulum
* muscle cell action potential travels along surface * penetrates into interior of muscle cell @ transverse tubules (T tubules) * remember T tubules are in a triad with two sacs of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) * SR releases Ca++ *Ch. 10 Obj. 13*
40
Describe sequence from Ca++ release to contraction
* Ca++ released from SR * binds to troponin * moves tropomyosin aside = exposes binding sites for myosin on the actin of thin filament *Ch. 10 Obj. 14*
41
These cells receive, process, and transmit information
Neurons/nerve cells *Ch. 11 Obj. 6*
42
"Thinking" cells of the brain
Neurons *Ch. 11 Obj. 6*
43
Cells with major role in support and nutrition of the brain
Glia/glial cells *Ch. 11 Obj. 6*
44
Do glial cells manipulate info
No *Ch. 11 Obj. 6*
45
``` Cells that: • maintain the internal environment so that neurons can do their job • control borders • maintain chemical balance • insulate • provide immune defense • produce and circulate fluid ```
Glia/glial cells *Ch. 11 Obj. 6*
46
When firing an action potential is impossible
Absolute refractory period *Ch. 11 Obj. 16*
47
When firing an action potential is difficult, but not impossible
Relative Refractory period *Ch. 11 Obj. 16*
48
List sequence of action potential in terms of threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, and absolute and refractory periods
• resting: - Na+ = rest - K+ = closed • depolarization to threshold ABSOLUTE REFRACTORY PERIOD: • Na+ = open • K+ = open Na+ = inactivating RELEATIVE REFRACTORY PERIOD: • K+ = open Na+ = rest *Ch. 11 Obj. 16*
49
List and describe, in order, the sequence of events at the synapse
1. Action potential arrives at end bulb 2. Ca++ enters presynaptic terminal 3. Ca++ interacts c synaptic vesicles = they move to and fuse c presynaptic membrane 4. Neurotransmitter is released from vesicles = binds to post-synaptic transmitter receptor 5. Receptor protein undergoes a change in shape (omega figure=allows ions to flow) 6. Ion flow = a post-synaptic potential - inhibitory (IPSP) - excitatory (EPSP) *Ch. 11 Obj. 20*
50
Origin of graded vs. action potentials
Graded: dendrites and cells body Action: trigger zones and propagate along axon *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
51
Types of channels graded vs. action potentials
Graded: Ligand-gated or mechanically-gates Action: voltage-gated for Na+ and K+ *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
52
Conduction for graded vs. action potentials
Graded: short distances Action: long distances *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
53
Amplitude of graded vs. action potentials
Graded: varies (
54
Duration for graded vs. action potentials
Graded: longer Action: short *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
55
Polarity of graded vs. action potentials
Graded: EPSP or IPSP Action: EPSP (always excitatory!) *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
56
Refractory period for graded vs. action potentials
Graded: not present Action: present *Ch. 11 Obj. 26*
