A
  • Ductless-lost during development

- Secretions (hormones) enter circulation and then travel to target

Q

What types of Epithelial cells are in the epidermis (skin)

A

stratified cuboidal and squamous

21
Q

Functions of Connective tissue

A

Connect/hold together, support, protect

22
Q

2 classes of connective tissue

A
  • connective tissue proper
  • -loose or dense, adipose
  • special connective tissue
  • -cartilage, bone, and blood
23
Q

Cell types in connective tissue

A
  1. fibroblasts- in many types, fiber making cells
  2. Chondroblasts/Chondrocytes-in cartilage
  3. Osteoblasts/Osteocytes-in bone
  4. Adipose cells-adipose tissue
  5. Erythrryocytes, Leukocytes-blood
  6. Mast cells-in several connective tissues
  7. Suffix Blast=tissue making cell
  8. Suffix Cyte-tissue maintaining cell
24
Q

3 main types of matrix fibers

A

collagen
elastic
reticular fibers

25
what are connective tissues made of
cells | extracellular matrix-made of protein fibers
26
Collagen Matrix Fiber
tough, adds strength, made of collagen protein, not elastic but somewhat flexible, most abundant protein fiber
27
Elastic Matrix Fiber
elastic, found in connective tissues that must stretch (blood vessels, lungs), composed of elastin protein
28
Reticular Matrix Fibers
Forms meshwork around organs, holds them together
29
Loose Connective Tissue
most widely distributed around body - cells scattered within a matrix that contains a large amount of ground substance - strengthened by protein ifbers
30
Adipose tissue cells
fat cells - also occur in loose connective tissue - develop in large groups in certain areas, forming adipose tissue
31
Dense connective tissue
-contains less ground substance than loose connective tissue, and more collagen.
32
cartilage
special connective tissue | -firm but flexible, support and protection
33
Muscle Tissue (3 kinds)
- function is contraction - smooth-involuntary control - skeletal-striated muscle, voluntary control - cardiac-striated muscle, involuntary control
34
Smooth Muscle
- found in walls of blood vessels (controls dilation/constriction) and visceral organs (digestive and respiratory tract) - single nucleus, spindle shaped
35
Skeletal Muscle
- usually attached to bone by tendons, so muscle contraction causes bones to move - Muscle fibers (cells) are multinucleated - contraction by myofibrils (actin and myosin filaments)
36
Cardiac Muscle
Hearts myocardium - made of smaller, interconnected cells - single nucleus
37
3 parts of neurons
- Cell body-contains the nucleus - dendrites-highly branched extensions (conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body) - Axon-single cytoplasmic extension; conducts impulses away form the cell body
38
Neuroglia
support cells for neurons - support and insulate neurons and eliminate wastes/foreign materials in and around neurons - form myelin sheath with axon
39
2 divisions of the nervous system
- Central nervous system: brain and spinal chord, integration and interpretation of input - Peripheral nervous sytem: nerves and ganglia (collections of cell bodies), communication of signal to and from the CNS to the rest of the body
40
Communication and integration in Organ Systems
Three organ systems detect external stimuli and coordinate the bodys responses -Nervous, sensory, and endocrine systems
41
Support and Movement in the Organ Systems
Musculoskeletal systems consists of two interrelated organ systems
42
Regulatory and Maintenance in the Organ Systems
Four organ systems regulate and maintain the bodys chemistry | -Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory, and Urinary systems
43
Defense in the Organ Systems
The body defends itself | -integumentary and immune systems
44
Reproduction and Development
The biological continuity of vertebrates | -in Females, the system also nurtures the developing embryo and fetus
45
Homeostasis
the dynamic constancy of the internal environment is called homeostasis
46
Negative feedback mechanisms in homeostasis
- changing conditions are detected by sensors - info is fed to an integrating center (brain, spinal chord, endocrine gland) - compares conditions to a set point - if conditions deviate too far form a set point, biochemical reaction are initiated to change conditions back toward the set poin
47
Endothermic
Mammals and birds - maintain and relatively constant body temperature independent of the environment temperature - changes in temp are detected by hypothalamus in brain
48
antagonistic effectors
control internal factors - have push-pull action - increasing activity of one effector is accompanied by decrease in the other - involved in the control of body temp
49
Hypothalamus in temp control
high temp-promotes heat dissipation via sweating and dilation of blood vessels in skin -low temp, promotes heat conservation via shivering and constriction of blood vessels in skin
