BIO-168-003 Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Composed of one or more layers of tightly packed cells and it contains little to no extracellular matrix. Covers the body, lines cavities, and forms glands.
Connective tissue
Composed of cells, protein fibers, and ground substances.
.
Muscle tissue
Consists of cells that are highly specialized for the active generation of force for contraction. Can elongate and change shape by becoming either shorter or thicker.
Nervous tissue
Composed of neurons and glial cells.
Subdivisions/Connective Tissue; loose connective tissue
Areolar, Adipose, Reticular
subdivision/connective tissue; Dense connective tissue
Dense Regular, Elastic, Dense irregular
Subdivision/connective tissue; supportive connective; cartilage
Hyaline, fibrocartilage, Elastic
Subdivision/connective tissue; Fluid connective tissue
Blood, lymph
Ectoderm
Epidermis, glands on skin, nervous system, skin cells, neurons
Mesoderm
Connective tissue, skeletal muscle, red blood cells, smooth muscle
Endoderm
lining the airway, and digestive system
Thick skin
Palms, hands, soles of the feet. No hair, 5 layers
Thin skin
Covers the body, 4 layers, sweat glands
Meissner’s corpuscle
fine touch
hair follicle receptor
crude touch
Merkel disc
light touch
Pacinian corpuscles
deep pressure, vibration, proprioception
Ruffini corpuscles
sensitive to stretching of skin
Free nerve ending
Pain and temperature
Hair
A keratinous filament
Nail Bed
Rich in blood vessels
Nail body
protects the tips of fingers/toes, back support
Lateral nail fold
Anchors the nail body
Sebaceous gland
oil gland found everywhere, waterproofs skin and hair
Skin cancer
An accumulation of DNA mutations
Basal cell
epidermis, most common
Squamous cell
Middle-outer layers of skin
melanoma
Highly metastatic; develops in the cells
epidermis wound
cell regeneration
Dermal wound
Inflammatory, Migration, proliferation and maturation
5 functions of the nervous system
sensation, response, integration, homeostasis, mental
Central nervous system
Brain, spinal cord
Peripheral nervous
Ganglion, nerves
Astrocyte
CNS, blood-brain barrier, repair
Ependymal
CNS, cilia, makes cerebral spinal fluid
Schwann
PNS, forms on mylier, axons
microglia
CNS, phagocytosis of bacteria, debris immune cell
Oligodendrocyte
CNS, forms mylien on axon
Satellite
PNS, surrounds & protects neurons
Multipolar Neuron
Dendrites attached to their cell bodies, one long axon
Bipolar neuron
2 processes, not very common, one axiom and one dendrites, found in olfactory epithelium and ventricles
Unipolar neuron
One long axon from cell body, at one end of axon is the dentries, axon forms synaptic connection
Somatic
Responsible for conscious perception, voluntary motor responses
Automatic
Involuntary control
Resting potential
when ion channels are all closed
Depolarization
A shift in cell membrane charge, crucial for nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction
repolarization
The return of a cell membrane to its resting potential after depolarization
Hyperpolarization
Increase in the membrane potential of a cell, making it more negative than its resting potential after depolarization
refractory period
When the sodium-potassium pump “corrects” the location of NA+ and K+
Brainstem
A “tapering cone”, connects the brain to the spinal cord
Medulla oblongata
Regulates the cardiovascular and respiratory system
Pons
Bridge between the cerebellum & brainstem therefore highly involved in motor controls
diencephalon
Connection between the cerebrum& the rest of the nervous sytem
Hypothalamus
Involved in the regulation of homeostasis and regulation of the pituitary gland
pineal gland
Sleep/wake cycle
cerebellum
balance, movement, fine motor, muscle tone
frontal
language, planned movements
parietal
Includes all tactile senses
Temporal
Auditory, smell, memories
