Anatomy: Study Stack 2
| Fusiform muscles: | Fascicles that may be close to parallel in the center, or “belly,” of the muscle but converge to a tendon at one of both ends. The Brachioradialis is a good example. |
| Pectoralis Minor: | lies under the larger pectoralis major muscle on the anterior chest wall. It helps “fix” or stabilize the scapula against the thorax and also raises the ribs during forced inspiration. |
| Cytokines | are chemicals released from cells to trigger or regulate innate and adaptive immune responses, and also participate in innate immunity. |
| Perineurium | is a sheet made up of several layers of flattened fibroblasts held together by tight junctions. It acts as a blood-nerve barrier, regulating the movement of substances between nerve tissue and the surrounding blood supply. |
| Autonomic Nervous System | Metabolic mechanisms, gut, kidneys, and immune system. Use various hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines that interact dynamically with one another to make adjustments that maintain balance and functioning. |
| Perineurium | is a sheet made up of several layers of flattened fibroblasts held together by tight junctions. It acts as a blood-nerve barrier, regulating the movement of substances between nerve tissue and the surrounding blood supply. |
| Astrocytes | located in the CNS. Promotes nervous tissue development; provides nutrients to neurons, restores ion balance; helps form and regulate synapses; is part of the blood-brain barrier. |
| Synapse | : the place where signals are transmitted from one neuron, called the presynaptic cell, could also be an effector, such as a muscle. |
| Basophil | secretes heparin (anticoagulant) and histamine (important in inflammatory response. |
| Respiratory mucosa | rich in blood supply, especially over the inferior turbinate, and is bright pink or red. Near the roof of the nasal cavity and over the superior turbinate and the opposing portion of the septum, the mucosa turns pale and has a yellowish tint. |
