A&P Flashcards
two problems with tissue engineering
blood flow and rejection
what 2 systems control the body
Nervous and endocrine
shape of nanoparticles cross the plasma membrane the best
disk
father of artifical organs
Willem Kolff
father of artifical organs 3 firsts
First blood bank
First artificial kidney
First dialysis machine
basal
towards the inside
apical
towards the outside
superfical
near the surface/outside/top
deep
parts that are more internal (away from superficial)
anterior
towards the front
posterior
towards the back
medial
towards the midline
lateral
towards the side
superior
closer to head
inferior
away from the head, towards the feet
proximal
closer to the trunk/medial
distal
farther from the trunk
sagittal plane
Cutting into left and right
midsaggital plane
Cutting into half at midline
frontal or coronal plane
Cutting into front and back
transverse plane
Divides into top and bottom
oblique plane
Cut diagonally
define tissue
Group of cells all functioning together
define -cyte
adult cell that does not reproduce or secrete
define -blast
young cell that secretes
define lumen
the inside/top space of a tubular structure, such as an artery or intestine
define CT scan
Combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues
define PET scan
blood flow
define H/E stain
Hematoxylin and eosin, purple is negative or DNA (labels nucleus), pink is positive and labels proteins
define basement membrane
a thin, delicate membrane of protein fibers and glycosaminoglycans separating an epithelium from underlying tissues
define foreign-body giant cell
a collection of fused macrophages which are generated in response to the presence of a large foreign body
sciatic nerve
largest nerve in the body, running from the lower back down the back of each leg
how many types of cells
200
function of cell membrane
Selective permeability
Cellular communication
composition of cell membrane
Phospholipids → Amphipathic
Glycolipids → Cell signaling
Cholesterol → Harden cell membrane, component of myelin sheaths
Proteins → Peripheral and Integral, channels, markers, and receptors
define cytoplasm
Made of cytosol and organelles
3 parts of cytoskeleton and materials
Microfilaments → Actin, flexible and solid
Intermediate filaments → Keratin
Microtubules → Tubulin, largest, shrink after dividing
function of mitocondria
Contains DNA and enzymes, produces ATP
mitocondria common in
muscle, nerve cells, and stem cells
loss of mitocondria leads to or is found in
multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, diabetes
function of lysosome
Degrades with pH of 4.3
lysosome common in
Common in macrophages
function of SER
Produces phospholipids, detoxification, stores Ca
SER common in
Common in muscle cells, store calcium
Function of golgi
Help protein packaging and folding
Golgi common in
Common in fibroblasts
Function of RER
Synthesizes and modifies proteins
RER common in
nervous system, fibroblasts
describe proteasome
Protein complex of proteases that destroy proteins
describe cilia
MTs form hair-like projections that aid in movement through passages
how many organ systems are there
11
major organs of integumertary
Epidermis, sweat glands, hair, nails
function of integumentary system
Protect from environment
Regulate body temperature
Provide sensory information
