Question
Answer
Three basic types of muscle   skeletal, smooth, cardiac  
🗑
The meat or flesh of the body attached to the skeleton   Skeletal muscle  
🗑
Long, cylindrical, and multinucleated cells with striations present   skeletal muscle  
🗑
Location: Attached to bones, tongue, and facial muscles   skeletal muscle  
🗑
Function: body movement, maintain posture, breathing, speaking, controlling waste elimination, and protection   skeletal muscle  
🗑
Function: propel substances along passageway, blood flow, air flow, creates goose bumps, controls pupil size   smooth muscle  
🗑
Location: Many viscera, Iris, uterus, blood vessels, respiratory tubes, attached to hair follicles   smooth muscle  
🗑
Involuntary Muscles   Smooth muscle and Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Voluntary muscles   skeletal muscles  
🗑
Spindle-shaped with central nuclei that are arranged closely to form sheets. No striations present   Smooth muscle  
🗑
Cells branch and are uninucleated that fit together at junctions called intercalated discs with faint striations present   cardiac muscle  
🗑
Location: Heart   cardiac muscle  
🗑
Function: to pump blood   cardiac muscle  
🗑
Two types of cells that make up nervous tissue   neurons and neuroglia  
🗑
Excitable cells because they exhibit signals called action potentials   neurons  
🗑
Supportive and protective; cannot conduct nerve impulses   neuroglia  
🗑
Location: brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves   nervous tissue  
🗑
Function: transmit electrical signals from sensory effectors to acceptors   nervous tissue  
🗑
Main components of integumentary system   skin and accessory organs  
🗑
Hair, nails, sweat glands, salivary glands   accessory organs  
🗑
Provides protective covering for deeper tissues, aid in regulating body temperature, retard water loss, house sensory receptors, synthesize various chemicals, and excrete small quantities of wastes   integumentary system  
🗑
Function: serves as a cushion, protection, and insulation   integumentary system  
🗑
2 distinct regions of the skin   epidermis and dermis  
🗑
Superficial and consists of stratified squamous epithelium   epidermis  
🗑
Deep and consist of connective tissue   dermis  
🗑
Not part of the skin, deep to dermis, and consist of adipose tissue   hypodermis  
🗑
Location: areolar and dense irregular   hypodermis  
🗑
Function: cushion and insulation   hypodermis  
🗑
Avascular and contain 4 or 5 layers   epidermis  
🗑
5 layers of epidermis   stratum basale, startum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum  
🗑
Single row that are mitotic   stratum basale  
🗑
Several layers thick – mitotic but not at the rate of basale   stratum spinosum  
🗑
Thin layer in upper border where cells begin to die   stratum granulosum  
🗑
Clear, thin translucent- only found in thick skin   stratum lucidum  
🗑
20 – 30 layers deep, horny layer, dead skin layer   stratum corneum  
🗑
Most abundant cell in the epidermis and they produce keratin   keratinocytes  
🗑
Function: gives epidermis durability and protective capability   keratinocytes  
🗑
Spidery black cell, secrete black/brown pigment called melanin   melanocytes  
🗑
Function: protects nuclei of cell from UV rays   melanocytes  
🗑
dense irregular CT; consisting of two principal regions: papillary dermis and reticular dermis   dermis  
🗑
Superficial and composed of areolar CT   papillary dermis  
🗑
Deep and composed of dense irregular CT   reticular dermis  
🗑
Where you’ll find sensory receptors, veins, arteries, sweat and oil glands and pressure receptors   dermis  
🗑
Hornlike projectors   nails  
🗑
Inside root, outside shaft   hair  
🗑
Small band of smooth muscle cells which connect each cell to papillary layer   arrector pili  
🗑
Oil glands- found everywhere except palms and soles; empty into hair follicles; acts as lubricant   sebacceuous glands  
🗑
Two types of sweat glands   eccrine/merocine and apocrine  
🗑
Produce clear perspiration   Eccrine/ merocrine  
🗑
Found in armpit and genital area; secrete milky protein and fat rich substances   apocrine  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
