Basic Anatomical Terms, Tissues Flashcards
Axial
Head (skull) Neck (Cervical region) Trunk -Thorax (Clavical - diaphragm -Abdomen (Diaphragm - pevlis) -Pelvis (Innominates & Sacrum)
Appendicular
Upper Extremity
Lower Extremity
Tissues
Group of similar cells and extracellular matrix which serve specific function.
4 Types of Tissues
Muscle
Connective
Epithelial
Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
Lines internal and external surfaces.
Protects other tissues and regulate movement into and out of other tissues.
Muscle Tissue
Types
- Smooth
- Skeletal
- Cardiac
Generates force
Striated appearance.
Nervous Tissue
Carries information.
Regulates and controls bodily functions and activity.
Connective Tissue
All connective tissue contation protien fibers.
Definition: Cells and extracellular matrix that attaches (connects), anchors, and/or protects other tissue.
Matrix (what its made of) plays a very important role.
Connective Tissue Different Protein (Matrix’s)
Collagen
Elastic
Reticular
Collagen
Made from collagen in tri-helical structure, well-organized, RESIST TENSILE LOADS (VERY LITTLE STRETCH).
Elastic
Made from elastin, has the ability to stretch, devlop tension and RETURNS TO ORIGINAL LENGTH.
Reticular
Made from collagen fibrils (small fibers), poorly organized.
4 Types of Connective Tissue
Bone
Fibrous
Cartilage
Blood
Mesenchyme
Embryological origin of all connective tissue. It is unspecialized.
-blast
Makes or builds
ex.) Fibroblast make fibrocytes
