24
Q

hypo

A

too little

25
Q

epithelial

A

skin or cavity lining (internal or external)

26
Q

connective

A

connects different tissues - function varies

27
Q

muscular

A

important for movement

28
Q

nervous

A

located in nervous system; stimulation & sensation

29
Q

vascular

A

important for blood flow

30
Q

squamous

A

smooth, flat, squashed

31
Q

columnar

A

column-like

32
Q

pyramidal

A

pyramid shaped

33
Q

simple

34
Q

stratified

A

multi/several layers

35
Q

central nervous system (CNS)

A

brain & spinal cord

36
Q

peripheral nervous system (PNS)

A

spinal nerves & cranial nerves

37
Q

cell body/soma

A

nutritional center

38
Q

nucleus

A

located within the cell body, processing incoming information

39
Q

dendrites

A

receive incoming information, many per neuron

40
Q

axon

A

sends outgoing information; only one per neuron

41
Q

myelin sheath

A

axon covering that speeds up the nerve conduction process

42
Q

nodes of ranvier

A

periodic interruptions in the myelin sheath allowing part of the axon to be exposed to extracellular fluids

43
Q

axon hillock

A

connection between axon and soma

44
Q

terminal buttons/telodendria

A

very end of the axon which touches the next axon

45
Q

glial cells

A

supportive cells

46
Q

internuncial neurons

A

connection neurons

47
Q

synapse

A

space between axon and dendrite (synaptic gap)

a neuron can be pre- or post-synaptic, in terms of location and function

48
Q

fibrous joints

A

immovable

ex. bones of skull

49
Q

cartilaginous joints

A

slightly movable

ex. articulations between the vertebrae

50
Q

synovial joints

A

freely movable

*the majority of joints in the human body are synovial

51
Q

ball and socket

A

allows rotation, great motion in all directions, many axes of movement
ex. hip

52
Q

saddle

A

allows all motion except rotation

ex. thumb, stapes, incus, cricoarytenoid joint

53
Q

condyloid

A

allows two types of motion at right angle, no rotation

ex. wrist

54
Q

pivot

A

allows rotation at long axis or rounded proess

55
Q

hinge

A

allows motion in only one place, like a swinging door

56
Q

gliding

A

allows sliding movement, least amount of movement
