Exam #1 Flashcards
What is the gross anatomy of muscles?
Endomysium: surrounds each muscle fiber
Perimysium: surrounds the muscle fasciculi
Epimysium: covers the whole muscle
What is the microscopic anatomy of muscles?
Sarcolemma
Sarcoplasm
Skeletal muscle fiber (muscle cell)
Multinucleate (hundreds of nuclei)
What are the parts of a synovial joint?
Joint capsule
Articular cartilages
Joint cavity with synovial fluid
Cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bursae
Sensory nerves & blood vessels
What is the structure of compact bone?
Dense & solid
Form the walls of bone
What is the structure of spongy bone?
Open network of plates
Surrounds medullary cavity
What is the protein synthesizing organelle?
Ribosomes
What organelles increases the surface area of the plasma membrane?
Microvilli
What organelle produces ATP & is part of cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
What organelle contains the DNA?
Nucleus
What organelle synthesizes lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, stores products, transports, and detoxifies toxins?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What organelle packages enzymes, renews/modifies the plasma membrane, and synthesizes & packages secretions?
Golgi Apparatus
What organelle defends against disease and removes bacteria?
Lysosomes
What organelle breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water & oxygen?
Peroxisomes
What are the layers of Epidermis from deepest to most superficial?
- Stratum basale
- Stratum spinous
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum lucidum
- Stratum corneum
What are the layers of the Dermis from deepest to most superficial?
Reticular Layer
1. Deep Dermis
2. Loose connective tissue
3. Hair follicles
4. Sweat glands
5. Sebaceous glands
Papillary Layer
1. Superficial dermis
2. Loose connective tissue
3. Dermal papillae
4. Capillaries
5. Axons of Neurons
What is in the subcutaneous layer?
Fat
What is homeostasis?
The maintenance of relatively constant conditions in the internal environment despite changes in the external environment (all organ systems, except for reproductive, partake in maintaining homeostasis)
Frontal/Coronal Plane
Divides the body in anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
Sagittal Plane
Divides the body into left and right sections
Midsagittal: divides the body in equal left and right halves
Parasagittal: runs parallel to the midsagittal line
Transverse Plane
A horizontal plane, lies at a right angle to the longitudinal axis.
What makes up the plasma membrane?
Phospholipids (hydrophobic & hydrophilic) & Proteins (integral & peripheral)
What is passive transport?
Materials pass through membrane without using cellular energy (Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion, & Osmosis)
What is active transport?
Transport of materials across the plasma membrane using cellular energy
What are the 4 phases of mitosis?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
What is not a phase of mitosis?
Interphase (a cell spends of of its life here)
What cell junction holds cells together by interlocking transmembrane proteins called connexons, which allow small molecules & substances to pass from cell to cell?
Gap junction
What cell junction is formed by fusion of the outer layers of two plasma membranes, prevent diffusion of solutes form cell to cell?
Tight junctions
What cell junctions has very strong connections of plasma membranes via cell adhesion molecules and proteoglycans?
Desmosomes
Characteristics of epithelial tissue
Cellularity, polarity, attachment, avascularity, sheets or layers, & regeneration
Simple squamous epithelium
Characteristics: Cells are thin, flat, & irregular shapes
Location: Inner surfaces of circulatory system
Stratified squamous epithelium
Characteristics: Irregularly shaped cells in a series of layers
Location: Surface of skin, lining of oral cavity, throat, esophagus, rectum, vagina & anus
