879121017What types of social problems existed in Virginia in the 17th century and why did they exist?Low life expectancy, lack of women, weak family ties. They existed because diseases had caused there to be a high death rate. (Pg: 66)1
879121018Even though conditions were so bad in early Virginia, many immigrants flooded into the colony. Why/Because it was a very good place for tobacco cultivation. (Pg: 67)2
879121019How did the Virginians handle the need for extra labor to grow tobacco?By implementing an 'indentured servitude' program where people worked for their transatlantic passage and 'freedom dues'. (Pg: 67)3
879121020What led to Bacon's Rebellion? What problems did it reveal?It was led up to by an increasing amount of single young men who were not able to find land or women to marry. They were disfranchised by the Virginia Assembly in 1670. This angered them. Bacon's Rebellion revealed that more less-troublesome workers were needed, which soon meant slaves. (Pg: 68)4
879121021Why did Virginia turn from indentured servants to slaves as a source of labor?because slaves were more stable being as they didn't usually receive their freedom after seven year. They were less susceptible to diseases esp. malaria. They were not as troublesome and could be captured easier because they would stand out in a crowd. (Pg: 68)5
879121022How successful were slave rebellions?Not very successful at all. (Pg: 73)6

879121024What were FFVs?First Families of Virginia (Pg: 73)8
879121025How do the merchant-planters of the 17th century differ from legend?because in real life, they were busy, hardworking, laboring people whereas legend presents them as rich, lazy, and snobby. (Pg: 73)9
879121026Describe the social levels in the Southern Colonies?At the top of the social levels of the southern colonies were the small but powerful planters. Under the planters were the farmers. Under the farmers were the landless whites. Under the landless whites were the indentured servants. Under the indentured servants were the African slaves. (Pg: 73)10
879121027Contrast family life in the Chesapeake region from that in New England.In Chesapeake, there was a higher premarital birth rate than in NE. NE families were raised strictly and closely with extended family whereas that was practically nonexistent in the Chesapeake region. (Pg: 76-77)11
879121028How did New England protect the rights of women?If a woman was widowed, she would be assigned a man to care for her. They made sure that women always had a caretaker. (Pg: 77)`12
879121029Why did democracy develop more in the NE than it did in the Chesapeake?Because the Puritans in NE ran their own churches with a sort of democracy in the congregational church which led to the idea of political democracy. (Pg: 79)13
879121030What was the Half-Way Covenant and why was it instituted?It was a new arrangement that allowed the children of the elect to become partial church members. It was instituted because as the first generation Puritans died out, their families were becoming less and less interested in religion and this allowed them to become members w/o being part of them elect. (Pg: 79)14
879121031How does the witch hysteria of Salem in the 1690s reflect economic conditions in NE?because most of the accused 'witches' were from higher class families and most of the 'witch accusers' were from lower class farming families. (Pg: 80)15
879121032How did the geography of NE account for its economic development?because since there was not much fertile farming land, NEs had to find other ways to make an economy. This led to the many industries that would develop the economy. (Pg 80)16
879121033What two ideas did NE give to America as national traits?1. Yankee Ingenuity - self reliance 2. New England conscience - hard working, 'we can do it'17
879121034What is meant by the phrase 'Dukes don't emigrate'?if people enjoy their life, wealth, and security then they will not leave for the wilderness. (Pg: 82)18
879121035Why did democracy and equality find fertile soil in the American wilderness?because it was a fresh start away from the old customs of England. They could do what they wanted to and everyone had to start at the bottom and build their way to the top because everyone came out there with nothing. (pg: 82)19

412459134Cartilage and LigamentsConnective Tissue made of 3 Main Things 1. Specialized Cells 2. ExtraCellular Protein fibers 3. Ground Substance
412459135Specialized Cells1.Hyan Cartilage consists of specialized cells that produce a matrix surrounding the cells. 2. Chondrocyte
412459136Chondrocyte"Chondro" meaning Cartilage "Cyte" meaning cell Main cell in bone and cartilage
412459137Extracellular Protein FibersComposed of: 1. Collagen 2. Elastic Fibers 3. Reticular Fibers
412459138CollagenMost Common Relatively Straight *Tremendous Tensile Strength
412459139Collagen Elastic FibersWhen bent, will rebound to original position
412459140Collagen Reticular FibersBranched/interwoven resist forces in many different directions Help hold blood vessels and organs in place
412459141Collagen Ground Substancefills in the spaces between the cells and fibers 1. Matrix: extracellular protein fibers + Ground Substance 2. Chondrocytes: 3. Lacunae: space w/in matrix that houses Chondrocytes 4. Perichondrium: Fibrous membrane that surrounds cartilage
412459142Types of Cartilage1. Hyaline 2. Elastic 3. Fibrocartilage
412459143Hyaline Cartilagemost common type of cartilage 1. 40% of mass composed of collagen fibers 2. stiff, yet slightly flexible 3. reduces friction @ bones ends 4. Shock absorber 5. Find @ joint surfaces, trachael rings, costal cartilage.
412459144Elastic CartilageContains elastic Fibers 1. Stiff, yet more flexible 2. Rebounds to original position 3. Found in Ear
412459145Fibrocartilage1.very little ground substance 2.tremendous amount of collagen fiber 3.Extremely tough, yet durable 4.Important for shock absorption 5. Found in Intervertebral Discs
412459146BoneSimilar to cartilage in make-up 1. Matrix 2. Ground Substance 3. Fibers 4. Specialized Cells: Ostoblasts/ Osteocytes/ Osteoclasts/ Osteoprogenitors
412459147Bone Matrix1. Ground substance 2. Fibers
412459148Bone Ground SubstancesCa3(PO4)2 (Calcium Phosphate) + CaOH (Calcium Hydroxide) -> Hydroxyapatite 1. Allows for us to withstand compressive forces
412459149Bone FibersPredominantly collagen fibers make up about 1/3 the weight of the bone. 1. withstand tremendous impact forces 2. provide flexibility to bone, can bend some
412459150Bone Specialized Cells1. Osteoblasts 2. Osteocyte 3. Osteoclasts 4. Osteoprogenitor
412459151OsteoblastsImmature Bone cell *secretes bony matrix
412459152Osteocytemature bone cell *surrounded by bony matrix
412459153Osteoclastsmultinucleated immunocompetent cell Releases Ca+ into bood
412459154Osteoprogenitormakes osteoblasts
412467870Compact Bone (Diaphysis)Very Dense, forming outer layer of bone. 1. Osteons 2. Interstitial Lamellae 3. Canal of Volkmann 4. Periosteum
412467871OsteonsFunctional unit of the compact bone, Cylindrical shaped. 1. Haversian System. Has central system (haversian canal) 2. blood vessels 3. Lamellae 4. Osteocytes between lamellae 5. Canaliculi
412467872Interstitial LamellaeLie between osteons and have no blood supply
412467873Canal of VolkmannHow Haversian canals communicate with outside veins and canals. Always run transverse
412467874PeriosteumOuter layer of bone 1.Outer layer is fibrous(collagen). Protects bone / separates it from other tissues 2. Inner Layer is a cellular layer. Involved in regeneration/remodeling.
412467875Spongy Bone (Epiphysis)Forms a network of struts and plates within central region. 1. No Osteons located here 2. Interstitial lamellae are called Trabeculae. 3. Help reduce weight of skeleton 4. Protect and house red/yellow marrow
412467876Long Bone Structure1.Diaphysis - compact bone 2. Epiphysis - spongy bone 3. Epiphyseal Plate - Hyaline Cartilage growth plates 4. Medullary Cavity - filled w/yellow marrow 5. Red marrow -> blood Yellow Marrow -> Adipose
412467877Bone Ossification1. Enchondral Ossification (Cartilage to Bone) 2. Intramembranous Ossification (Connective Tissue to Bone)
412467878Enchondral Ossification (Cartilage to Bone)Begins w/cartilage formation as an embryo, how long bones develop. 1. Chondrocytes enlarge and their lacunae enlarge with them, reducing the matrix to small struts(trabeculae) that begin to calcify 2. blood vessels encircle diaphysis and cartilage cells are converted to osteoblasts which cause calcification of the diaphysis. 3. blood vessels pierce diaphysis growing into the medulla, allowing fibroblasts to migrate into medulla where they are converted to osteoblasts. 4. Capillaries and osteoblasts move to the perimeter to replace cartilage tissue
412467879Intramembranous Ossification (Connective Tissue to Bone)1. Osteoblasts cluster in deep layers of the dermis, secrete a matrix that mineralizes through crystalization of calcium salts. 2. Bone grows outward from center in structs called spicules 3. Spaces between struts fill in with calcium
