A&P Review Ch 6-7

QuestionAnswer
TISSUES- groups of cells thta re similar to each other in structure & function
HISTOLOGY- Study of tissues
EPITHELIAL TISSUE Protection, absorption, filtration & secretion. Skin protects body from bacteria and sunlight
BASEMENT MEMBRANE very thin material that anchors the epithelium to the underlying structure
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM Exchange of nutrients & wastes (capillaries) allows diffusion of O2 & CO2 (alveoli) Filtration of H2O & electrolytes (kidneys)
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM Absorption H2O & Electrolytes (kidney tubules) Secretion of enzymes & hormones (thyroid,pancreas,salivary glands) GLANDULAR EPITHELIA
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM protection, absorption, & secretion of digestive juice (goblet cells-mucus)-digestive tract
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED Protection & Secretion (respiratory tract) cleans respiratory passages
EPITHELIUM STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS Protects body from invading organisms
TRANSITIONAL Permits expansion of Bladder
DECUBITIS ULCER bedsore- Caused by interruption of the blood supply to a tissue. Tissue dies, forming an ulcer
GOBLET CELLS- Lubricating Mucus - in digestive tract (modified columnar cells)
GLANDULAR EPITHELIA- seCRETION, Made up o cells that secrete a particular substance. Composed of SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
EXOCRINE GLANDS Have ducts or tiny tubes, where exocrine secretions are released including mucus, sweat, saliva & digestive enzymes
ENDOCRINE GLANDS Secrete hormones like INSULIN. They are DUCTLESS glands. Hormones are secrted directly to blood.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE Most abundant found in blood, skin, bone, & around organs. Most have good BLOOD SUPPLY Ligaments and tendons= POOR BLOOD SUPPLY Cartilage = NO BLOOD SUPPLY
INTERCELLULAR MATRIX Makes the various types of connective tissue so different. It is the material located outside the cell. Fills the spaces between the cells
FIBERS protein fibers found in the matrix of most connective tissue
LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE contains fibers that are loosely arranged around cells.
AREOLAR LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE Between muscles GEl-like. made up of collagen + Elastin fibers Protects, ,cushions & bind together like "tissue glue"
ADIPOSE TISSUE Around kidneys, heart, behind eyeballs Stores fat. Cushions & insulates
RETICULAR TISSUE Framework of Lymphoid organs Internal framework of Lymphoid organs: Lymph nodes, spleen, & bone marrow.
DENSE FIBROUS TISSUE Tendons, ligaments, capsules & fascia cONTAINS MANY COLLAGEN+ELASTIC fibers. Binds strictures together. TENDONS= Muscle to bones LIGAMENTS= attach bones ot each other CAPSULES= around some organs FASCIA= Forms bands or sheets of tissue
CARTILAGE formed by Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) Firm, smooth, and flexible
HYALINE Nose Breastbone & ribs Larynx- Voicebox Ends of Long bones Supports, protects, provides framework
FIBROCARTILAGE Invertebral discs,pads in knee joint cUSHIONS & PROTECTS Symphysis Pubis
ELASTIC CARTILAGE Supports & provide framework
BONE Supports & provide framework
BLOOD Transports nutrients, hormones, respiratory gases & waste
LYMPH Drains Interstitial fluid, involved in Immune response
Osseous Tissue Bone tissues OSTEOCYTES= bone cells Collagen (provides elasticity & strength), calcium salts & other minerals) Bones act as mineral storage= CALCIUM
NERVOUS TISSUE Makes up brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neuron DENDRITES= receive info from other neurons Cell body= contains nucleus & essential to life of cell SINGLE AXON= transmits info away form the cell body
NEUROGLIA GLIA Cells that support and take care of neurons GLUELIKE
MUSCLE TISSUE cells that shorten or contract casuing movement of body part
SKELETAL MUSCLE STRIATED MUSCLE Attached to bone. Move skeleton, maintain posture & stabilize joints
SMOOTH MUSCLE
CARDIAC MUSCLE
TISSUE REPAIUR
KELOID
MEMBRANES
EPITHELIAL MEMBRANES
CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE
MUCOUS MEMBRANE
SEROUS MEMBRANE
PARIETAL LAYER
VISCERAL LAYER
PLEURA
PLEURAL CAVITY
PERICARDIUM
PERICARDIAL CAVITY
PERITONEUM
ADHESIONS
CANCER

GANGRENE
NEOPLASM
AS YOU AGE
intergumentary system
ACCESORY STRUCTURES
FUNCTIONS OF SKIN
CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE

STRATUM GERMINATIVUM
KERATIN
STRATUM CORNEUM
INSENSIBLE PERSPIRATION
SENSIBLE PERSPIRATION
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
DERMIS
STRIAE
SENSORY RECEPTORS
HERPES ZOSTER
SCALDED SKIN SYNDROME
REFLECTION OF SKIN HEALTH
HIVES
CALLUS
SUBCUTANEOUS LAYER/HYPODERMIS
SKIN ABSORBS CHEMICALS TRANSDERMALLY Across the skin in order to achieve a systemic effect(within the body) Which is absorbed by the dermal blood vessels & transported by the blood to the heart
SKIN COLOR
MELANOCYTES
MELANIN
SKIN COLOR CHANGES
ALBINISM
FRECKELS & MOLES Melanin that becomes concentrated in local areas
CAROTENE Yellow pigment in skin. EX: Asian demonstrate yellowish skin due to low melanin therefore carotene is shown more.
PINKISH TINGE IN SKIN
CYANOSIS Blue
CONSTRICTION OF BLOOD VESSELS
JAUNDICE
ECCHYIS-BRUISE
BODY HAIR
HAIR GROWTH influenced by sex hormones estrogen & testosterone.
HIRSUTISM Excessive growth of hair. In women, too much testosterone
DRUGS INJECTED SU Subcutaneously bc of a rich supply of blood vessels; it absorbs the drug & distribute it
