TEST REVIEW: PHYSIOLOGY OF CELLS IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Cell Membrane Boundary that encloses the cell and contains its contents; also called plasma membrane; regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell; selectively permeable. Components of Cell Membrane Composed mainly of lipids and proteins, and some carbohydrates; consists of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids, with fatty acids turned inward and the water-soluble heads facing the surfaces. Structure of Cell Mem...

MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY TEST what is the muscle tissue behavior? Excitable, extensibility (stretches), elasticity, & contractility What are types of muscle tissue? skeletal for skeletal movement, cardiac for heart beat, smooth for internal organ movement. Who are the thin moving myofilaments? actin Who are the thick nonmobile myofilaments? myosin What is all the fibers with its motor neuron called? Motor unit What is the A band? actin and myosin What are the steps of sliding filament ...
