a creature/being sustaining HOMEOSTASIS with at least one organ system
38
what is HOMEOSTASIS?
Maintaining stable and internal bodily functions, un-hindered by the environment outside the body, is called: Homeostasis (When homeostasis has irreversibly stopped: the body is, by definition, dead)
39
What planes are there?
- Sagittal plane - Coronal Plane - Transverse plane
40
what is the SAGITTAL PLANE?
assuming the body in question is standing straight and faced towards you: the SAGITTAL PLANE splits the body in half- into left and right

assuming the body in question is standing straight and faced towards you: the CORONAL PLANE splits the body in half- into back and front
42

assuming the body in question is standing straight and faced towards you: the TRANSVERSE PLANE splits the body in half- into an upper half and a lower half
43

proper epithelium
44
Epithelial polar face that is faced outside the internal cavity
APICAL SIDE
45
Epithelial polar face that is supporting and tied into connected tissue
BASAL SIDE
46

PSEUDOSTRATIFIED EPITHELIUM
47
epithelial tissue that has multiple layers of the same cells stacked like bricks
STRATIFIED EPITHELIUM
48
What type of CONNECTIVE TISSUE is there?
- PROPER - CARTILAGE - BONE - BLOOD
49
What do CONNECTIVE TISSUES do?
- bind and support - protect - insulate - storing reserve fluid/energy - transporting substance within the body - movement
50
what is fat?
a type of proper connective tissue which provides insulation and fuel storage
51
all connective tissues have THREE factors in common:
- develop from MESENCHYME (loose embryonic tissue that can shift shapes/movement) - different degrees of vasularity/blood flow - mostly composed of non-living material/extracellular matrix
52
What is extracellular matrix composed of?
GROUND SUBSTANCE: unstructured material that fills spaces in-between cells as well as protecting cells from surroundings CELLS: living part of the matrix, preform tasks and form tissue
53
What is GROUND SUBSTANCE?
- unstructured rubbery material - fills spaces in-between cells - protects cells - made up of starch and protein and water - as well as fibers to add more shape and structures
54
what type of FIBERS are there?:
- COLLAGEN FIBERS - ELASTIC FIBERS - RETICULAR FIBERS
55
What is COLLAGEN fibers?
strong and flexible, strand of protein
56
What are ELASTIC fibers?
form a branching frame work, stretch and coil like rubber bands - skin - lungs - blood vessel walls
57
what are RETICULAR fibers?
short, finer collagen fibers. Form sponge-like networks.
58
IMMATURE cells?
stem cells in the process of replicating themselves secreting ground substance fibers (always end in a 'blast' )
59
two types of Connective tissue cells:
IMMATURE | MATURE
60
MATURE cells?
an IMMATURE cell transfers into MATURE cells maintain the health but can transfer back into immature cells to repair (always end in 'cyte')
61
What is a macrophage?
A cell that carries out a vast amount of the bodies immune functions inside of connective tissue this cell eats bacteria, foreign materials and dead cells
62
What is a leukocyte?
-a white blood cell this cell travels the circulatory system inside of connective tissues fighting off infections
63
what types of connective tissue proper?
comes in two forms: - loose - dense
64
what is loose connective proper tissue?
weaker connective tissue: - fewer fibers - more cells - less collagen - more ground substance
65
What types of loose proper connective tissue is there?
Areolar: most common, connected with basement membrane Adipose: fat tissue, mostly cells, insulating against heat loss Reticular: Mostly reticular fibers instead of collagen or elastin, soft internal framework
66
What is AREOLAR loose connective tissue proper?
the most common loose connective tissue, usually associated with epithelial and basement membrane. - random arrangement of fibers - few collagen - few fibroblast cells
67
What is APIDOSE loose connective tissue proper?
The tissue used for fat, with less ground substance and a lot more cells used to insulate against heat loss - Store energy used for back up nutrience and power - average person is 18% adipose tissue
68
What is RETICULAR loose connective tissue proper?
Used for soft frame work and developing blood cells. Has a lot more reticular fibers instead of elastin or collagen fibers - internal framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow - What holds your blood in place for many of the organs
69
What is dense connective tissue proper?
denser, harder proper connective tissue - full of fibroblast cells and collagen - resistance to tension and impossible to chew through
70
What is dense REGULAR connective tissue proper?
The hard and tough elastic tissue used around muscles and bones and mainly "tendons" - full of organized and sheeted fiber - tight bundles of collagen - smooth - connect muscle to bone and bone to bone
71
What is dense IRREGULAR connective tissue proper?
Hard and tough elastic tissue with much less arranged and smooth fiber textures and organisations. - Full of erratically arranged fiber and collagen with exerted tension in many different directions - Leathery tissue underlying the skin
72

73
What types of dense connective tissue proper are there?
Regular: the tough smooth tissue in muscle tendons with lots of collagen and fiber Irregular: Erratically textured and organized tissue in leather with lots of collagen and fiber Elastic: Elastic dense and bendy tissue around spine full of elastic fibers
74
What is Cartilage?
Connective tissue with no blood or nerves that has little give for tension or compression - Hyaline - Elastic - Fibro
75
What is Hyaline Cartilage?
Common and glassy cartilage used for support. It connects rips to skin and holds the nose up. - starchy/sticky ground substance - transparent collagen fibers
76
What is Elastic Cartilage?
Similar to Hyaline but with much more elastic fibers and is easier to see. Connected to the ear, keeping it stretchy but still well attached.
77
