AandP exam 2 Flashcards
parietal
on the outside
lines the wall of body cavity,like a wallpaper
visceral
its within the parietal
covers the surface of organs found in body cavities.
membrane
thin sheet-like structures that covers and protect the body surface*,line body cavities,inner surfaces of the hollow organs.
epithelial membranes:cutaneous(skin) membrane, serous membranes, and mucous membranes.
connective tissue membranes.
mucous membrane
epithelial membranes
line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior
serous membrane
epithelial membranes
lines body cavities and covers the surface of organs in those cavities (does not open to the outside)
synovial membranes
connective tissue membranes
line the spaces between bone and joints
produce a lubricant called synovial fluid.
eccrine sweat glands
numerous important,and wide spread sweat glands in the body.secrete watery liquid sweat
apocrine sweat glands
found in the axilla(armpit) and the pigmented skin area around the genitals,thick seretion.
hematopoiesis
formation of red blood cells
osteoblast
bone-forming cells
osteoclast
bone-resorbing cells
diaphysis/shaft
a hollow tube made of hard,compact bone,hence rigid and strong structure light enough in weight to permit easy movement.
epiphysis
ends of the bone– red bone marrow fills in small spaces in the spongy bone,composing the epiphysis
periosteum
a strong fibrous membrane covering a long bone,every where except at joint surfaces,where it is covered by articular cartilage.
endosteum
a thin membrane that lines the medulary cavity.
parts of the skull
8 bones that form the cranium.
14 bones that form the face
6 tiny bones in the middle ear
axial skeleton
skull cranium ear bones face spine vertebrae thorax ribs sternum hyoid bone
appendicular skeleton
upper extremities shoulder (pectoral) girdle arms wrist hands lower extremities hips (pelvic)girdle legs ankle feet
diarthotic joint
free movement,one or two directions and many directions
bursae
synovial membranes lines the small,cursionlike sacs found in found between the many moving body parts
motor unit
combination of a motor neuron with the muscle fibers it controls
motor neuron
nerve cell that transmit an impulse to a
muscle,causing contraction
neuromuscular junction
point of contact between nerve ending and muscular fiber
endurance training
exercise that increase muscle ability to sustain moderate exercise over a long period,aerobic training
sebum
tiny ducts open into hair follicles
*lubricate the hair and skin
vitamin D
promotes absorption and use of calcium
skin
*first line of defense functions *protection *temperature regulation *sense organ activity
a waste product that occurs when muscle are fatigued
lactic acid
peritoneum
the serous membrane in the abdominal cavity
pleura
the serous membrane in the thoracic cavity
3 types of epithelial membranes
cutaneous, serous, and mucas
the connective tissue membrane that lines the space between bone and joints is called
synovial membrane
the two main layers of the epidermis of the skin are
stratum corneum and stratum germinativum (new skin)
new skin waterproof protein
keratin
fingerprints
dermal papillae
sweat glands all over the body
eccrine
sweat gland in axilla and genitals
apocrine
sebacious gland oil is called
sebum
3 functions of skin
protection
heat regulation
sensation
receptors in the skin that respond to pain are
nerve endings
skin receptors that respond to light touch
meissner corpuscles
skin receptors that respond to pressure
pacini corpuscles
part of hair hidden in the follicle
hair root
where hair growth begins
hair papilla
