Question
Answer
functions of skin   protection, sensory role, gland to synthesize Vit D, excretion (sweat, sebum), regulating body temp  
🗑
senses of the skin   pain, touch, pressure, temp  
🗑
layers of the skin   epidermis, dermis (true skin)  
🗑
epidermis is made up of   outer layer - stratum corneum inner layer - stratum germinativum  
🗑
stratum corneum   multiple layers filled w keratin(H2O proof)  
🗑
stratum germinativum   basal cells, also where mitosis takes place  
🗑
skin color is from   in stratum corneum melanocytes secrete skin pigment melanin that stains cells  
🗑
shedding cells   excoriation or desquamation  
🗑
what connects layers of skin to muscles   subcutaneous layer or hypodermis; loose connective tissue and adipose tissue  
🗑
where are sensory receptors located   in the dermis or true skin  
🗑
hair is:   dermal blood vessel, root, follicle, and shaft - shaft is dead keratinized cells  
🗑
dermis glands   sebaceous and sudoriferous  
🗑
sebaceous glands produce   sebum; keeps skin soft, hair conditioned and skin water proof  
🗑
sudoriferous glands   (sweat) apocrine; under arms, genitals - eccrine; all over esp. forehead upper lip soles of feet  
🗑
functions of skeletal system   framework for body, supports and protection of soft body tissues, lower bones support body wt, red marrow makes blood cells, store calcium and phosphorus  
🗑
parts of the bone   epiphysis, diaphysis, epiphyseal disc, medullary cavity, periosteum, articular cartilage  
🗑
epiphysis   enlarged ends of bone, meets second bone at joint  
🗑
diaphysis   long shaft of bone - primarily compact bone  
🗑
epiphyseal disc   growth plate  
🗑
medullary cavity   hollow center of diaphysis, adults filled with yellow marrow, stores fat  
🗑
periosteum   tough fibrous connective tissue covers outside of diaphysis  
🗑
articular cartilage   on outer surface of epiphysis, decreases friction of joints  
🗑
as we age...   bones lose their mass, become more brittle due to loss of calcium, tendons and ligaments are less flexible=decrease ROM, intervertebral disks shrink  
🗑
osteoporosis   loss of bone mass, become porous & crumble under normal use, loss of estrogen in older women, deficiant calcium and Vit D & low exercise  
🗑
name the kinds of joints   saddle, pivot, ball and socket, hinge  
🗑
classifications of movement   flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, pronation and supination, dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, rotation  
🗑
muscle closes the jaw   masseter  
🗑
trapezius   shrugs shoulders, extends head to look at sky  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   flexes and rotates head  
🗑
deltoid   abducts arm as in Vertruvian Man  
🗑
biceps   flexes and supinates forearm  
🗑
brachioradialis   flexes forearm  
🗑
triceps brachii   extends forearm  
🗑
gluteus maximus   butt, extends thigh for climbing stairs  
🗑
sites for IM injections   adults: deltoid, gluteus maximus and gluteus medius; in children, vastus lateralis  
🗑
individual contracting unit of a muscle   sarcomere  
🗑
why must muscles "fire"   to keep us upright and provide heat  
🗑
sliding filament theory   sarcomeres shorten because actin and myosin filaments slide past each other  
🗑
thick muscle fibers   myosin  
🗑
thin muscle fibers   actin  
🗑
3 categories of muscle   skeletal/voluntary; smooth/involuntary;(organs) cardiac/involuntary  
🗑
parts of a neuron   dendrites receive info, axon transmits info away from cell body, axon terminals are where chemical neurotransmitters are stored  
🗑
neurotransmitters   acetoylcholine and norepinephrine  
🗑
neurotransmitters are   chemical substances stored in tiny vesicles in the axon terminals  
🗑
frontal lobe   motor area  
🗑
parietal lobe   skin and muscle, taste, speech, reading  
🗑
occipital lobe   vision  
🗑
temporal lobe   hearing, smell, taste memory storage, part of speech area  
🗑
thalamus   relay structure and processing center  
🗑
hypothalamus   integrating system for autonomic nervous system, temp balance, sex, thirst, appetite and emotions  
🗑
midbrain   relay info, associated w visual reflexes  
🗑
pons   relays info, plays role in respiration  
🗑
medulla oblongata   vital function, heart rate, blood flow, blood pressure, respiratory center, coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting  
🗑
junction between nerve cells   synapse or synaptic cleft  
🗑
CSF   cerebrospinal fluid, like plasma but after filtered, found in spinal chord  
🗑
reflex   involuntary response to to a stimuli  
🗑
BBB   blood-brain barrier  
🗑
meninges   the three layers of connective tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal chord  
🗑
layers of meninges   Pia Mater (soft mother) Arachnoid (spiderweb-like membrane) Dura Mater (hard mother)  
🗑
