ANPH Exam 3 Stuff With Complete Solution
Myoglobin
increases the rate of transfer of O2 into the muscle fiber
Muscle fatigue
occurs when an exercising muscle can no longer respond to stimulation with the same
degree of contractile activity
Toadfish swim bladder
Fastest known vertebrate muscle
Oxytocin
causes contraction of myoepithelial cells leading to milk ejection
Somatomedins
Increases protein synthesis and bone growth
Gluconeogenesis
conversion of amino acids and lactate into glucose
Osteoblast
cells that build bone
Osteon
consists of layers of osteocytes entombed by the bone they have deposited around
,themselves surrounding a central canal
Osteocytes
retired osteoblasts imprisoned within the bony wall
juvenile hormone
ensures that larval characteristics are maintained
Medullary bone
labile source of calcium in a "laying" bird
steroid hormone
derived from cholesterol
antidieuretic hormone
responsible for recovery of water from the collecting duct of the kidney

blocks the myosin binding site on actin
Canaliculi
small, fluid-containing canals

anchors the actin filaments in smooth muscle
Hydroxyapatite
,mineral salt, component of bone
Twitch
a brief, weak muscle contraction
Somatostatin
another name for growth hormone inhibiting hormone
series elastic elements
Spring-like structures that can release 'stored' energy
