Q

within the cell

A

each organelle has a specific function

nucleus=DNA

ribosomes= important in synthesis of proteins
include enzymes that regulate all chemical reactions in the body

Q

MEIOSIS

A

cell division that takes place in the gonads: ovaries and testes

the chromosome is reduced from 46-23

the sperm and egg unite in fertilization

the zygote will have the correct # of chromosome

Q

2 types of sweat glands

A

ECCRINE

APOCRINE SECRETION

17
Q

ECCRINE

A

most widely distributed sweat gland

regulates body temperature by releasing a watery secretion that evaporates from skin

18
Q

APOCRINE SECRETION

A

mainly in armpit and groin area

  • contains bits of cytoplasm from the secreting cells
  • cell debris attracts bacteria
  • bacteria on skin= odor
19
Q

Sebaceous Glands

Sebum

A

the sebaceous glands release sebum produced by holocrine secretion

  • susceptible to clogging
  • attracting bacteria: particularly during adolescence

Sebum: an oily secretion, through hair follicles that lubricates the skin and prevents from drying

Holocrine secretion: whole cells of the gland are part of secretion

20
Q

Keratin

A

strong protein that makes up hair and nails

HAIR and SKIN are appendages of the skin

21
Q

SKIN

A

largest organ of the body

22
Q

2 layers of the skin

A

Epidermis

Dermis

23
Q

Epidermis

A

outermost protective layer

dead, keratinized, epithelial cells

24
Q

Dermis

A

underlying layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, nerve endings, and associated skin structures

The dermis rests on the subcutaneous tissue that connects the skin on the superficial muscles

25
Dermis
inner layer of the skin ``` made up of: fibrous connective tissue with blood vessels sensory nerve endings hair follicles glands ```
26
Epidermis
outer to inner layer of the epidermis ``` stratum corneum stratum lucidum stratum granulosum stratum germinativum (where mitosis occurs) stratum basale stratum spinosum ``` epidermal cells contain the protein pigment called MELANIN protects against radiation from the sun
27
Tissues
``` Histology = study of tissues Tissues = a group of cells that act together to perform specific functions ``` 4 Fundamental Tissues
28
Epithelial Tissue
cover, line, protects the body and internal organs
29
Connective Tissue
framework of the body | provides support and structure
30
Muscle Tissue
have the ability to contract/shorten Voluntary: Skeletal muscles Involuntary: smooth and cardiac muscle tissue
31
Nerve Tissue
neurons and connective tissue called neuroglia
32
Functions of the Skeletal System
the body framework consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints - support - movement - blood cell formation (hemopoiesis) - protection of internal organs - removal of poisons (detoxification) - provision for muscle attachment - mineral storage (i.e. calcium + phosphorus)
33
Bones
Individual bones are classified by shape - long Jones - short bones - flat bones - irregular bones - sesamoid bones
34
Long Bone
typically has: Irregular epiphysis at each end composed of spongy (cancellous) bone Shaft/diaphysis composed of compact bone (osteoblasts)
35
Osteoblasts
cells that form compact bone when they become fixed in the dense bone matrix, they stop dividing but continue to maintain bone tissue as osteocytes
36
Skull has 28 bones
when including the 6 paired bones of the ear (ossicles), the skull has 28 bones: 14 facial 14 cranial
37
14 Facial Bones
``` 2 nasal bones 2 maxillary bones 2 zygomatic bones 2 palatine bones 2 lacrimal bones 2 inferior nasal conchae 1 mandible (only removable bone of the skull) 1 vomer ```
38
14 Cranial Bones
``` Single: occipital frontal ethmoid sphenoid ``` ``` paired: parietal (2) temporal (2) ossicles of the ear: -malleus (2) -incus (2) -stapes (2) ```
