QuestionAnswer
4 main categories of tissues Nerve, Epithelial, Connective, Muscular
2 categories of membranes Epithelial membranes and Fibrous connective tissue
Produce a more watery, lubricating substance Serous membranes
3 types of skeletal membrane Periosteum (bone), Perichondrium (cartilage), Synovial (joints)
3 types of muscle tissue Skeletal, smooth, cardiac
Skeletal/voluntary Attach to bone or other muscle by way of tendons and controlled by conscious effort
Epithelial Thin tissue layer that forms the skin, organ coverings and inner lining of all the hollow organs
Fascia Areolar connective tissue that forms a fibrous network that is continuous from top of skull to the tips of the toes and is throughout the body. Fibrous tissue between muscle bundles
Synovial Membrane lines the inner joint cavities
Tendons Bands that attach muscles to bones
Epithelial tissue Thin protective layer or covering that functions in the process of absorption, excretion, secretion and protection.
Structures closely associated with epithelial tissues Membranes
Function of muscle tissue fibers Contract their elongated cells which pulls attached ends closer together causing body part to move
Smooth muscle tissue Lacks striation and cannot by stimulated by contract by conscious effort
Nervous tissue Composed of neurons and is found in the brain, spinal cord and associated nerves; initiates, controls and coordinates the body adaptation to its surroundings; neurons for a nerve pathway
Connective Tissue Binds structures together, provides support and protection and serves as a framework
Hemopoietc Tissue found in bone marrow and vascular system
Areolar Loose connective tissue abundance of collagen and elastic fibers
Adipose Loose connective tissue containing fat cells
Reticular Loose connective tissue that provides framework of liver and other lymphoid organs
Fibrocartilage found between the vertebrae and in the pubic symphysis where strong support and minimal ROM is required, damage tissue is slow because of low vascularity
Hyaline Cartilage consisting of fine white fibers
Elastic Elastic fibers in the matrix
Deep Facia Covers each muscle fiber (endomysium), muscle fascicles (perimysium) the muscle (epimysium) and groups of muscles (investing fascia)
Bone Tissues is connective in which intercellular substance is rendered hard by being impregnated with mineral salts
Dentne Substance beneath the enamel fo the teeth. no distinct cells or blood vessels
Liquid connective tissue Is represented by blood, lymph and interstitial fluid
Skin largest organ of the body and serves as an interface with the environment and protection for the body.
Principle functions of skin Protection, heat regulation, sensation, secretion/excretion, absorption and respiration
Epidermis outermost layer of the skin; thickest on hands/feet, thinnest inside of limbs
Dermis Deeper layer that extends to form the subcutaneous tissue
Collagen Makes up 70% of dry weight of the skin and gives it strength , form and flexibility
Subcutaneous tissue continuation of the dermis varies in thickness according to age, sex and general health of the person
% of blood supply to body distributed to the skin half
2 types of glands of the skin Sudoriferous (skin) and Sebaceous (sweat)
It is controlled by the Autonomic system and is located in the dermis Sweat glands
Name 2 appendages of the skin Hair and nail composed of hard keratin a protein that in its soft form is found in the skin
Arrector pili muscles fan like muscles that react to cold or emotional stimuli i.e. goosebumps
Scar Forms after the healing of an injury or skin condition that has penetrated the dermal layer
Ulcer Open lesion on skin or mucous membrane of the body accompanied by pus and loss of skin depth
Acne Chronic inflamatory disorder of the skin related to hormonal changes and overactive sebaceous glands during adolescence
Basal cell carcinoma Least malignant and most common skin cancer.
Contact dermatitis Abnormal conditions resulting from contact with chemicals or other exterior agents
