Homeostasis a state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly
Negative Feedback a case where outputs from a system are subsequently fed back into it, minimizing or reducing the effect of subsequent iterations
Epithelial Tissue covers and protects the outside of the body Squamous > flat cells, fast diffusion Cuboidal > cube shaped cells, filtering Columnar > pillar/ column shape, slow diffusion
Connective Tissue binds structures together, provides support and protein, fills spaces, produces blood, and stores fat. Loose > adipose Dense > tendons and ligaments Cartilage > hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage Bone > spongy and compact Blood > RBC, WBC, platelets
Muscular Tissue contractes and has stretchy movement, Skeletal > striated, multinucleate Smooth > not straited, single Cardiac > striated, in heart, single
Nervous Tissue conducts electrical impulses, create 'sensation', causes muscles to contract. Neurons > conducting cells of the brain and spinal cord and nerves Neuroglial > nerve glue, supports neurons
Carcinoma most common type of cancer of epithelial tissue
Sarcoma arise in muscle (striated), and connective tissue (bone, cartilage, ect)
Leukemia cancer of the reticular connective tissue (blood cancer)
Melanoma most dangerous type
Mucous Membrane an epithelial tissue which secretes mucus, and lines many body cavities and tubular organs including the gut and respiratory passages.
Serous Membrane tissue which lines certain internal cavities of the body, forming a smooth, transparent, two-layered membrane lubricated by a fluid derived from serum. The peritoneum, pericardium, and pleura are serous membranes.
Synovial Membrane A layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs between tendons and bones). The synovial membrane makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.
Meninges membranes found in the dorsal cavity and is a protective for your spinal cord and brain
Cutaneous Membrane (skin) outer covering of the body and is a thing layer
Dermis region of fibrous connective tissue, deeper and thicker layer then epidermis
Epidermis outer, thinner region of skin made up of straited squamous epithelium divided into 2 main layers
Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) sends impulses to and from accessory structures in the skin
eccrine gland open into the surface of the skin. active when someone is hot
apocrine glands open into hair follicles in the groin and armpit. active under stress
sebaceous glands a small gland in the skin which secretes a lubricating oily matter (sebum) into the hair follicles to lubricate the skin and hair.
hair found on all body parts expect palms, soles, lips, nipples, and parts of external reproductive organs
arrector pili muscle a smooth muscle attaching to the follicle in such a way that contraction causes hair to stand on end
