Anatomy Exam #2 Flashcards
Sclerotome give rise to
Bones, cartilage, and tendon
Myotome give rise to
Muscles
Dermatome give rise to
Dermis of skin
Loose Connective Tissue Examples
lamina propria beneath epithelial lining of digestive tract
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
dermis of skin, organ capsules, submucosa layer of digestive tract
Dense regular connective tissue
ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses, corneal stroma
Mesenchyme is the origin of ?
- origin of all connective tissue
- develops mainly from mesoderm
Mucoid Connective Tissue
matrix of the fetal umbilical cord
Reticular Connective Tissue
bone marrow, liver, pancreas, adrenal gland, all lymphoid organs except the thymus
Hurler’s syndrome
Lysosomal storage disease
gargoyle disease
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- rubberman syndrome
- Major symptoms include joint hypermobility, cutaneous laxity (i.e., stretchy skin), abnormal scar formation, vascular rupture
Marfan syndrome
- Patients tend to be tall, with long and thin limbs, long fingers (and toes), can suffer from scoliosis
- abe lincoln
Scleroderma
- Thickening of skin
- Essentially, dysregulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts leads to excessive collagen deposition, causing fibrosis
Osteogenesis imperfecta
- irregular bone formation
- the middle character
Scurvy
- Vitamin C deficiency
- Symptoms include bleeding gums, loose teeth, tooth loss, poor wound healing, edema
Psoriasis
is a disease characterized by patchy lesions caused by greater keratinocyte proliferation in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum and an accelerated cell cycle
Layers of skin
stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale, dermis
Platelets function
Clotting, vessel wall repair
Erythrocytes Function
O2 & CO2 transport
Leukocytes
immune response
Babesiosis
Depressed RBC and platelet counts that is a parasite that passes by ticks
eosinophils
- Elevated levels indicates parasitic infection
- Major contributor to inflammatory response
- Major contributor to allergies – dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, reflux esophagitis, asthma
neutrophils aka neutrocytes
- Most abundant WBC
- “First responders”
- Phagocytose bacteria (other anti-microbial actions)
- Neutropenia can indicate aplastic anemia, leukemia, chemotherapy
- Neutropenia increases risk of infection
basophils
- Involved in inflammatory response
- Deviations from normal count difficult to detect because baseline/normal count is already very low
