| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Function of white blood cells | Destroy pathogens - fight of infection |
| Function of schwann cells | Electricaly insulated neurons |
| Functio of axon | Cary impulses away from the cell |
| Dendrites | Carry impulses towards the cell |
| Smooth muscle and example | Cells are tapered located in wall of arteries and veins and maintain BP...Located in the iris of the eye to regulate the size of the pupil |
| Squamous | Cells are flat |
| CuboidalSingle Layer | Cells are cube shaped |
| Columnar | Cells are tall and narrow |
| Simple | Single Layer |
| Stratified | Layers of cells |
| Location of Nerve tissue | found only in the nervous system |
| Cardiac muscle - Organ involved - Function | Pump blood, heart, regulate only the rate of contraction |
| Simple squamous epithelium - Characteristics - Functions | One layer of flat cells, very thin and very smooth, permit diffusion of gases, prevent abnormal blood clotting |
| Stratified squamous - example - function | Many layers of flat cells, Keratinizing = dead, in the epidermis... Non Karatinizing = living, in the mouth |
| Transitional epithelium - location - shape | lining of the bladder and ureters , shape is rounded when empty flat when full |
| Cubodial epithelium function | secretes thyroxine to thyroid , secretes saliva, permit reabsorption of usedful material back to blood |
| Parietal pleura | lines the chest wall |
| visceral pleura | covers the lungs |
| red blood cells - functions- effects of low RBC | Carry oxygen, effects of low RBC is anemia |
| Why are platelets important | Prevent blood loss , blood clotting process |
| Plasma Function | Transport nutrients , gases, and waste products |
| Endocrine gland function | ductless glands, function is to secrete hormones |
| Difference between exocrine glands and endocrine glands and examples | Exo has ducts - salivary glands Endo - Ductless - secrete hormones |
| Extra Energy is stored where | Adipose tissue |
| What doe endocrine glands secrete and where | secrete hormones in capillaries |
| Muscle tissue involved with eye | Smoot tissue |
| Mucous Membranes | Line body cavities that open to the environment |
| Connective tissue related to the eye | Adipose tissue |
| Treachea lining in relation to epithelial tissue | ciliated epithelium sweeps mucus with trapped dust and bacteria from inhaled air |
| Function of mucus in the respiratory tract | Traps dust and bacteria |
| Organs lined with mucus membrane | Respiratory , digestive, urinary, reproductive |
| Fibrous connective tissue is what, in relation to strength | Flexible |
| Osteocyles and their matrix | Bone - Made of calcium salts and collagen |
| WHere are RBC's produced | Stem Cells |
| Function of red bone morrow | Primary site of stem cells that produce blood cells |
| Treachea in relation to connective tissue | keeps airway open |
| where are digestive enzymes found | Columnar epithelial tissue |
| joint capsule | fiberous connective tissue ...enclosed joint |
| ossification | production of bone matic and begins in the center of each bone |
| epiphyses | end of long bones...made of spongy bone covered w thin layer of compact bone |
| diaphysis | shaft of long bones...made of compact bone and is hollow forming a canal withint the shaft canal contains yellow bone morrow mainly adipose tissue |
| Estrogen and testosterone | promotes closure of the epiphyses of long bones... helps retain calcium in bones to maintain a strong bone matrix |
| appendicular skeleton | supports the appendages or limbs |
| tendon | connects bone to muscle |
| where is red bone marrow found in long bones | epiphusis of the long bone |
| Child bone growth begins where | growth plate |
| osteoblast | bone producing cell...build up of bone |
| Axial skeleton | skull vertebrea |
| appendicular skeleton | arms, legs, shoulder, pelvis |
| Strongest and larget bones in the back | lumbar |
| Ribs corilate with what organ | Lungs |
| Synthrosis | Immovable joints |
| Calcetonin | decrease reabsorbtion of calcium |
| Insulin | produced in the pancrease and helps with glucose |
| Thyroxine | Increase rate of protein synthasis |
