Exam 1 Flashcards
Exocrine Glands
- have a duct
- release into cavity or surface of skin
- oil, sweat, mammary glands, salivary glands, goblet cells
- multicellular glands with a secretory duct
Endocrine Glands
- No duct
- Make hormones
- Secrete into blood stream
- Pituitary, pancreas, adrenal, ovary
Serous Membranes
- line closed cavities and cover the organs in those cavities
- composed of a layer of simple squamous supported by areolar CT that helps to attatch the membrane to structures
- consists of a parietal portion and visceral portion
- produce a thin water serous fluid
- reduces friction between internal organs their neighboring organs
Major Serous membranes
- pleura : thoracic cavity and lung
- pericardium : form the sac that surrounds the heart and covers the surface of the heart
- peritoneum : abdominopelvic cavity,
Mucous membranes
- lines the tracts that open to the outside of the body: digestive, respiratory, urniary
4 layers:
Layer (1) : epithial tissue - stratified squamous
- simple columnar
- pseudostratified columnar
- transitional
Layer (2): basement membrane (reticular CT)
Layer (3): layer of areolar CT called the lamina propria that provides support
Layer (4 outer layer): smooth muscle called muscularis mucosa
Synovial Membranes
- line joint capsules of freely movable synovial joints
- consists of areolar and adipose CT
- lubricates and provides nutrition to joint cartilage
Function of cutaneous membrane :
- sensation
- protection
- thermoregulation
- secretion (oil and sweat)
- synthesis of vitamin Dn
Glands are usually associated with cuboid (and some columnar)
T or F?
True
Stratum Spinosum contains?
Keratinocytes unified by desmosomes.
- contains star shped Langerhans cells that form a continuous network among the keratinocytes
Stratum granulosum contains?
Three to five layers of flattened cells
- significant keratinization begins
- cells lose their nuclei become compact and begin to die
Stratum Lucidum is only for?
Thick skin
- pams and soles of feet
Stratum corneum contains?
most outer layer
- dead keratinocytes
- cells are filled with keratin
- replaced by cells migrating to the surface from the stratum germinactivum
- desmosomes are present
papillary layer is for?
folds in fingerprintt patterns
- contains areolar connective tissue
- contains blood and lymp vessels
Reticular layer is for?
accounts for 80% dermis
- consists dense irregularCT
- forms the lines of cleavage
- gives strength , resilinecy and binds water
Superficial fascia
deep to the skin
- consists of areolar CT that helps to anchor the skin to the underlying tissues and adipose tissue to act as insulation and shock absorption
Deep fascia
- most extensive fascia located deep to the superficial fascia
- consists dense irregular CT that forms capsules around muscles and group muscles.
Control of bone growth formation : VITAMIN D
needed for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the digestive tract to generate hydroxyappetite to ossify bones
Rickets (occurs in children)
- characterized by deformed legs, ribs, sternum
- teeth fail to form
- cured by vitamin D and calcium intake with sun exposure
Osteomalacia (adults)
- bones undergo decalcification and become soft and week
Vitamin C
synthesis of collagen
