Exam 2 Flashcards
The term chond- refers to…
Cartilage
Peri= around
tendons connect ….. To ……..
Ligaments connect ……… to …………
Muscles to bones
Bones to bones
Define perichondrium
Cartilaginous structure enclosed in fibrous connective tissue covering
Bone has _____ _____ in the matrix and organic collagen.
Mineral salts
Mean the four types of membranes.
Serous membrane, mucous membrane, cutaneous membrane, synovial membrane
These membranes line body cavities that don’t have openings to the outer surface. Line the thorax, abdomen and organs in these cavities. Made of simple squamous epithelium on top of loose connective tissue usually areolar tissue.
Serous membranes
Try membrane. Skin.
Cutaneous membrane
This membrane lines cavities and tubes that open to the outside. Consists of various types of epithelial tissue, usually stratified squamous or simple columnar. Globlet cells secrete mucus. May also function in absorption. They are wet membranes.
Mucous membranes, mucosae
Define synovial membranes
Inner lining of synovial joints. Fibrous connective tissue over loose connective tissue and adipose tissue. Secrete synovial fluid.
Synovial vs. serous fluid
Serous fluid is found between organs and membranes lining the inside part of the body.
Synovial fluid is in the joints. Is more viscous.
Skin is composed of two layers, they are the……
Epidermis-outer layer, specified squamous epithelium
Dermis-many different tissues
This layer is under the dermis but is not part of the skin. It’s made of loose connective tissue areolar and adipose tissue that connects the skin to underlying organs.
Subcutaneous layer, hypodermis
Where is the basement membrane located.
Under the epidermis.
This layer is made of epithelium tissue, so does not have blood supply.
Epidermis
Most epidermal cells are these.
Keratinocytes.
Produce keratin
What is the deepest layer of epidermis that reproduces more cells.
Stratum basale
As older cells are pushed away from the blood vessels, they hardened by developing a tough protein called….
Keratin, this process called keratinization
Define stratum corneum.
Tough dead layer of cells accumulate on the outer portion of the epidermis and are stuffed off.
Specialized cells in the deepest part of the epidermis that produce a dark pigment
Melanocytes, produce melanin. Melanin absorbs light energy. Transferred from melanocytes to keratinocytes.
What is the function of merkel cells, Meissner’s corpuscles.
sensory receptors for touch.
Name all five layers of the epidermis from top to bottom.
- Stratum corneum
- Stratum lucidum
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum basale
Strong flexible connective tissue, the hide.
Dermis
Dermal papillae are…
Fingerlike projections pointing outwards of the dermis.
This layer of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue actslike a heat insulator contains large blood vessels that supply the skin.
Subcutaneous layer, hypodermis
