Galen
130-201 A.D
First physicians to the gladiator
Perpetuated the four humors
Dark Ages
Leonardo De Vinci
Viturvian man - found that the body had lots of symmetry.
- Wide range of knowledge
Andreas Vesalius
1514 - 1564
Reformer of Anatomy - Claimed modern medicine had begun
Answered the question of what made the body tick
Believed that the four humors were not true
Questioned Galens Theories
Microscope
cells, bones, nuerons
X-ray
2-D image (for bone)
Ultrasound
use high frequency sound waves which reflect back to the transducer
different densities effect different blood flow rates
CT
X-ray beams move in a circle around the body.
MRI
Protons in tissue respond to pulse of radio waves while they are being magnetized
different densities are detected
PET positron emmison tomograpgy
use radioactive tracers
detect
alzheimers
organ function
heart conditions
brain disorders
Epithelial Tissue
protect absorb secrete sensory reception
Connective Tissue
most abundant, connects, protects, lots of collagen
Connective
Fascia
Binds structures
Found between muscles
Enveloping sheaths
Connective
Bursa
Pocket like accumulations of fluid
Bursa protects bone
Found in regions where shock and friction are common
Connective
Tendon
Connect muscle to bone
Dense parralell collagen
Aponeuroses (flattened tendon)
Connective
Ligament
Connects bone to bone
Dense parrellel collagenous tissue
Connective
Cartilage
Fibers within jelly like substances
Framework is resistant to damage
Connective
Bone
also blood is a connective tissue
Hardest connective tissue
Contains calcium and phoshorus which is hardened
No collagen
Muscle
3 Types
Smooth - Involuntary
Cardiac - Heart - Involuntary
Skeletal - Bones - Voluntary
Nervous Tissue
Sense, integrates and initiates action
muscle cannot contract without nervous stimulation
Two types of cells: neurons and nueroglia
Reflexes do not need……
brain it comes from the spinal cord
6 Functions of the Bone
Support
Protect
Assist in Movement
Mineral Storage - store Ca and phosphorus
Blood formation
Storage of Energy
Osetoprogenitor Cells
Stem Cells
Osteocytes
mature bone cells
Osteoblast
cells that form bone w/ Ca and phosphorus
Osteoclast
resorption of bone or break down
Osteoporosis and Risk Factors
Bone resorption outpaces growth
Risk Factors:
History
Gender Older Women
Height
Weight - Heavier is better
Age
Smoking
Vitamins
Exercise
How much of the bone is organic?
1/3 is organic collagen
This provides tensile strength to stretch bone
