Q

Cartilage

A

Consists of cylindrical units called osteons
Blood vessels in central canal carry nutrients

36
Q

Spongy bone

A

Makes up ends of long bone
Contains bony bars and plates separated by air spaces
Site of red bone marrow, which produces blood cells

37
Q

Fluids

A

Blood

Lymph

38
Q

Blood

A

A connective tissue in which cells are embedded in a liquid matrix (plasma)
Red blood cells – oxygen transport
Small disk-like cells without nuclei
White blood cells – immune response
Larger than red blood cells and have a nucleus
Platelets – involved in the clotting process
Fragments of larger cells present only in bone marrow

39
Q

Blood functions

A

Transports nutrients and oxygen to cells
Removes carbon dioxide and other wastes
Helps distribute heat and plays a role in fluid, ion, and pH balance

40
Q

Lymph

A

A fluid connective tissue located in lymphatic vessels

Lymphatic capillaries called lacteals absorb fat molecules from the small intestine.

41
Q

Muscular (Contractile) Tissue

A

Contractile cells containing actin and myosin filaments

Cells are called muscle fibers.

42
Q

Three types of muscle tissue

A

skeletal muscle
smooth (visceral) muscle
cardiac muscle

43
Q

Skeletal Muscle

A

Voluntary – Long, striated fibers, multinucleated

44
Q

Smooth (Visceral) Muscle

A

Involuntary – No striations

45
Q

cardiac muscle

A

Striated, but mostly involuntary
Cells are bound to each other by intercalated disks.
Have one single, centrally placed nucleus

46
Q

What are some functions of the Nervous system?

A

Sensory input
Data integration
Motor output

47
Q

Nervous Tissue

A

Conducts electrical impulses
Conveys information from one area to another
types: Neurons, Neuroglia

48
Q

Neurons

A

Transmit information
Consist of dendrites, a cell body, and an axon
An axon and its myelin sheath, if it has one, is called a fiber.
Outside the brain and spinal cord, fibers bound by connective tissue form nerves.

49
Q

Neuroglia

A 
Support and nourish neurons
Neuroglia in brain include
Microglia
Astrocytes
Glial cell-derived growth factor is being studied as a possible Parkinson disease treatment.
Oligodentrocytes
50
Q

Organ

A

Composed of two or more tissue types working together for a particular function

51
Q

organ system

A

Composed of various organs that cooperate to carry out a general process
Example: digestion of food

52
Q

Body Cavities:

A

Dorsal cavity (toward the back)

Ventral cavity (toward the front) is divided into

53
Q

Dorsal cavity (toward the back)

A

It contains the cranial cavity and the vertebral canal.
The brain is in the cranial cavity.
The spinal cord is in the vertebral canal.

54
Q

Ventral cavity (toward the front) is divided into

A

The thoracic cavity (includes heart and lungs),
The abdominal cavity (most other internal organs), and
The pelvic cavity (urinary bladder, female reproductive organs, certain male reproductive organs)

55
Q

The organ systems of the human body contribute to

A

homeostasis

56
Q

Importance of Homeostasis for Astronauts

A

The fact that astronauts need special suits to survive in space reminds us that the internal environment of our bodily functions must stay within normal limits.
Example: Enzymes function best at around 37°C
An astronaut depends on artificial systems in addition to natural systems to maintain homeostasis.

57
Q

Examples of Homeostatic Regulation

A

The organ systems of the human body contribute to homeostasis.
The digestive system
Takes in and digests food
Provides nutrient molecules that replace used nutrients.
The respiratory system
Adds oxygen to the blood
Removes carbon dioxide
The liver and the kidneys
Store excess glucose as glycogen
Later, glycogen is broken down to replace the glucose used.
The hormone insulin regulates glycogen storage.
The kidneys
Under hormonal control as they excrete wastes and salts that can affect the pH of the blood

58
Q

Homeostatic Control

A

Homeostasis is, to a degree, controlled by hormones.

But is ultimately controlled by the nervous system

59
Q

Negative feedback

A

is the primary homeostatic mechanism that keeps a variable close to a set value.
The sensor detects change in environment.
Regulatory center initiates an action to bring the conditions back to normal.

60
Q

Positive feedback

A

is a mechanism that brings about an ever greater change in the same direction.
Childbirth process
Positive Feedback
Does not result in equilibrium
Does not occur as often as negative feedback

61
Q

The Integumentary System

A

Functions of skin
Largest and most conspicuous organ system
Covers and protects underlying body regions
Regulates body temperature
Contains sensory receptors
Involved in exchange of gases with environment in small aquatic animals
Manufactures precursors to vitamin D after UV exposure
Skin and its derivatives make up the integumentary system

62
Q

Regions of the Skin

A

Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous Layer

63
Q

Epidermis

A

Outer, thinner region
Stratified squamous epithelium
New cells are pushed outward, become keratinized, and are sloughed off.
Melanocytes produce melanin (pigment).
UV radiation can cause mutations in the DNA of skin cells, leading to skin cancer.

64
Q

Dermis

A 
Deeper and thicker than epidermis
Fibrous connective tissue containing elastic and collagen fibers contains:
Receptors
Nerve fibers
Blood vessels
65
Q

Subcutaneous Layer

A

Loose, connective tissue located below dermis, also known as hypodermis

66
Q

Accessory Structures of Human Skin

A

Nails, Hair follicles, Sweat glands

67
Q

Nails

A

Grow from nail root and form protective covering of distal portion of fingers and toes

68
Q

Hair follicles

A

Begin in the dermis and continue through the epidermis
Contain oil glands (sebaceous glands) which secrete sebum
Lubricates the hair within the follicle as well as the skin

69
Q

Sweat glands

A

Present in all regions of the skin
Begin in dermis and open either to a hair follicle or to the surface of the skin
Function to help maintain constant body temperature
