Answer
Simply squamous epithelial   passage of materials by diffusion and filteration, secretes lube,  
strattified squamous epithelial   thick membrane made of many layers, basement layers are cuboidal or collumnar (basale), surface cells are flat, When keartinized they have a layer of flat cells, protection from abrasion, non keratinized line the esophogus, mouth (remember chips).  
Simple cuboidal epithelium   cube shaped, secretion and absorption, located in the Kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of glands

Adipose   Desc: Sparse matrix, mostly made up of fat cells, nucleus pushed to outer edge of cell by fat droplet. Job: reserve fuel, insulation against heat loss, cushions for organs. Location: under skin, around kidneys & eyeballs, abdomen, breasts  
Reticular   Desc: Network of fibers (reticular) and reticular cells within the network. Job: fibers form a soft internal skeleton to support white blood cells, mast cells. Location: lymphoid organs  
Dense Regular   Desc: Mostly parallel collagen fibers made of fibroblast cells. Job: attaches muscles to bone or to other muscles and withstands great stress. Location: tendons and ligaments.  
Dense Irrigular   Desc: Mostly irregularly arranged collagen fibers, Fibroblast cells. Job: Able to stand tension exerted from many different directions. Location: dermis of skin, digestive tract, joints  
Hyaline   Desc: Firm matrix (collagen fibers make an impenatrable matrix), cells live in a lacuna. (CATEYE). Job: supports and reinforces, cushions, resists compressive stress. Location: cartilage in ribs, nose, laraynx.  
Elastic   Desc: close To hyaline but with more fibers. Job: maintains the shape of structure while allowing great flexibility. Location: ear  
Fibrocartilage   Desc: Cat eye, less firm than hyaline with thick collagen fiber. Job: Tensile strength with ability to absorb shock. Location: discs of knee joints and intevertebral discs.  
Bone   Desc: hard calcified matrix with collagen fibers. Job: support and protection, makes blood. Locations: bones  
blood   Desc: red and white blood cells in plasma matrix. Job: transport respiritory gases, nutrients, waste, Location blood vessels  
Nuerons   Desc: Nurons cells with branching cells processes. Job: transmit electrical signals from receptors to effectors, which control their activity. Location: brain spinal cord.  
Skins 3 Layers   Epidermis (on top), Dermis (middle), Hypodermis (deepest)  
Epidermis layers (deep to superficial)   Basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum (thick skin only), corneum  
Dermis Layers   Papillary (superficial) and Reticular (deeper)  
Nerves of the Dermis   Meissner (light touch); Pacinian (deep touch); Free (pain)  
Glands of dermis   sebacous, sweat (eccrine, apocrine) mammary, ceruminous (ear wax)  
Sebacous Gland   Oily gland attached to hair, used to lube and move hair  
Sweat glands   Eccrine: insensible perspiration. Apocrine: sensible (aware) perspiration, stinky sweat crotch and armpit.  
bone parts   Epiphysis (ends of bone). Diaphysis (shaft), Medullary Cavity, Red (makes blood) and yellow(makes fat) marrow.  
Osteoblast   builds bone cells  
Osteoclasts   destroys bone cells  
epiphyseal plate   where the two bone building sites meet. When they are done you stop growing  
Osteon   basic unit of bone  
Central canal (Haversian)   Main blood canal in bone  
Canaliculus canals   tiny canals radiating outward form the central canal to lacuna  
Lamella   Solid matrix  
Lacuna   place where bone cell resides  
Perforating fibers (Sharpey's)   between periosteum and bone matrix  
Perforating Canals (Volkmann's)   Canals that run perpendicular to the central canal  
calcitonin   hormone that makes osteoblasts turn on and make bone.  
parathryoide hormone   tells the osteoclasts to destroy bone  
4 items that are needed for good bone growth   Calcium (in diet), vitamin D, Wolfs law (if you stress a bone...bone gets thicker), Hormones estrogen  
Joint Structure   Fiberous, Cartilagenous, Synovial  
Fiberous Joint type, function and location   Suture (skull), Syndesmosis (ankle), gomphosis (teeth). Welding bones with fiber.  
Cartilagenous type, function and location   Fibrocartilage (symphysis), Hyaline (synchondrosis). Ribs and spine.  
synovial type, function and location   Bones held together by fluid in a membrane with synovial fluid, shoulder, ball and socket  
Joint movement   synarthrotic (no movement), Amphiarthrotic (some movement), Diarthrotic (lots of movement)  
Joint movement and type of joints   Fibrous (synarthrotic), Cartilagenous (amphiathrotic), Synovial (Diarthrotic)  
periosteum   membrane that covers all bones  
endosteum   incomplete cellular layer that lives in the medullary  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
the rule of f's   Muscle>Bundles>cells>organelles>Chemicals or Filaments>>>> to Flesh>Fascicles>Fibers>Fibrils>Filaments  
Connective tissue types around muscles   Epimysium>Flesh, Perimysium>Fascicles, Endomysium>Fibers  
Sarcoplasm   cytoplasm for muscle cells  
sarcolemma   cell membrane for muscle cells  
transverse tubules   holes in the sarcolemma  
sarcoplasmic reticulum   ER for the muscles  
filament   myosin = thick, Actin=Thin  
Contracting action on filaments   Thin/actin filaments are the ones moving, Thick are the ones pulling the thin/actin.  
9 Steps to muscle contraction   1. AP 2. calcium released from sr 3. Calcium binds to troponin. 4. troponin rotates the tropomyosin exposes binding site on actin. 5. myosin grabs actin. myosin pulls actin. Atp resets myosin, calcium. Tropomysin covers binding sites  
aerobic respiration characteristics   Glucose + Air (oxygen), lots of atp created, lasts for hours  
anaerobic respiration characteristics   glucose makes 2 atp lasts for 15 seconds, byproduct is lactic acid  
White Fiber (Muscle Cell) Characteristics   Large in diameter, more powerful and pull, low oxygen, anaerobic respiration, low endurance also called fast twitch  
Red Fiber (Muscle Cell) Characteristics   Smaller in diameter, less power, lots of blood, air mitochondria, areobic with high endurance  
The motor unit   When the nerve is talking to the muscle  
Recruitment (Muscle)   When the nerve "taps" more muscles fibers to get more power...the brain is in charge of recruitment.  
Summation (muscle)   When the nerve continues to fire...tells the muscle to keep going. "Keep" holding the pen  
Glial Cell Types   Astrocyte, microglial, ependymal, schwann, oligondrendrocyte  
Astrocyte   looks like a star, protects, feeds, loves  
microglial   small, immunity role  
ependymal   moves fluid along in the brain  
schwann cell   makes myelin sheath  
oligondrendrocyte   makes myelin sheath  
neuron parts   cell body, axon, dendrite  
Flow of neural message through neuron   in the dendrite and out the axon  
Axon characteristics   the output in a neuron, the bigger the wire the faster the message gets sent  
Myelin sheath   creates more insolation and that means that there is less leaking.  
nerve sizes and locations   big fat nerves in the eyeballs, small and thin in the stomach  
nerve process   1. Depolarization: sodium goes in through "sodium channel" by diffusion. 2. Repolarization: potassium goes out of axon by way of diffusion. 3. sodium potassium pumps sodium out and potassium in at 3:2 rate.  
nerve firing trigger point   -55  
nerve synapse   1. AP releases synapse. 2. calcium channels open. 3. calcium goes into presynaptic nerve. 4. vesicles are released into synapse. 5. NT released and bind to recepters on postsy 6. NT open the channels on postsy nerve. 7. reset by NT back to postsy  
neurotransmitters   Acetylcholine (ach), Gaba, Glutamate, Epinephrine, Dopamine, Seratonine  
ACH   excitory, Inhibitory, Location: muscles and guts  
Gaba   Inhibitory. Location: Everywhere  
Glutamate   Excitory: Everywhere  
Epinephrine   excitory: everywhere  
dopamine   excitory and inhibitory: brain and motor control  
seratonine   excitory. contentment. satisfied feeling  
Monosaccharide (simple sugar0   polysaccharide (complex carb)
