  1. I'll give it a go :)

    1) B - tropomyosin serves as a contraction inhibitor by blocking the myosin binding sites on the actin molecules

    2) A - skeletal ?? Only a guess but My reason is these are the most used muscle And therefore need to be able to regernerate at a greater rate??

    3) A - Sarcoplasmic reticulum functions as the calcium storage in the skeletal muscle cell

    4) B - oxygen deficit = the difference between the amount of oxygen needed for totally aerobic muscle activity & the amount actually used

    5) D - the major function of the SR in muscle contraction is to regulate the intracellular calcium concentration

    6) B - striations are due to the arrangement of the myofilaments ?

    7) A - thick filaments are composed of myosin

    8) B - during muscle contraction, myosin cross bridges attach to actin filaments

    1. Your answer to question 2 is "none"
      Skeletal muscle cells can not divide and regenerate, they can repair by depositing more myofilaments, or thickening the CT sheaths. If a muscle fibre dies, the surrounding muscle fibres increase in size to compensate for the loss.
      Hope this helps.

    2. Thank you Sophie!

      What about Q6? I was unsure if it is the arrangement of the myofilaments that make the striated appearance?

  2. 2 )is smooth muscle.
    9. C - no ATP is available to release attached actin and myosin molecules
    10. B - a sheet like indirect attachment to a skeletal muscle
    11. A- spongy bone
    12. A. Fat
    13. D- hyaline cartilage
    14. Epiphyseal plate - c
    15. C. - sharpies fibers
    16. B- the thinness and shape of a bone being dependent on stresses placed upon it
    17. C. Trabeculae

  3. Is 9 A - because the cells are dead??

    ReplyDelete
  4. Pretty sure... And the smooth muscle regeneration is something to do with the mononucleus being able to divide easily and the cells found in smooth muscle, I would guess also that there are lots of ligaments and tendons in skeletal muscle that are avascular that could be damaged also. and it would be difficult to heal something moving alot. Smooth muscles are involved in more gental movement... That's my guess

    2. Yeah I thought smooth muscle as well, if you think about where they are located it sort of just made sense. They also feature one nucleus per cell so can undergo division more readily. However i'm unsure :)

  5. 18 - D - the SCM (remember Angelina Jolie!)
    19 - D - mylohyoid
    20 - B - stylohyoid
    21 - C - lateral ptyerygoid
    22 - A - mentalis
    23 - C - synovial membrane of the capsule
    24 - D - cervical (neck)
    25 - D - mylohyoid

  6. So yes rigor mortis occurs because the cell is dead?? Q9? I've read 3 texts and that is basically what they say...

    ReplyDelete
  7. That's the same answers I got :) so we can't be far off unless where both wrong. Yeah I read about rigor mortis too, and yeah everything I read the cell is dead

    1. yes the whole body is dead..... but there is no more synthesis of ATP (because the cell is dead), therefore the myosin can not disconnect from the actin, therefore the muscle stays in a state of contraction, therefore the whole body becomes rigid.
      So answer is C.

  10. Good to see how well some of the class is using the Blog. I think that Angelina Jolie has now gone down into Human Biology folklore as the queen of the SCM!
    I really like the way you are working together to work out some of the more challenging problems. Keep up the good work

    19B - I wasnt sure because the medial pterygoid elevates the mandible, the trapezius has no involvement with the mandible, the stylohyoid and mylohyoid are involved in the suprahyoid group and have no contact with the mandible.

      Mine were almost identical to yours Veronica, but had to check with google for some of them because i wasn’t sure. So much to know!!!

  12. So hellpful.

    The next questions weren't up on here but I got...

    Endostuem - the lining of the marrow cavity
    Canaliculi - small channels that radiate through the matrix of bone
    Osteoblasts - cells that can build bony matrix
    Osteoclasts - cells that can dissolve bony matrix
    Lamellae - layers of bony matrix

    Better late than never!
