Exam two Flashcards
What are some characteristics of hair?
-produced in the root of the follicle
-consists of dead, keratinized cells
-hair growth occurs from scalp
Two types of glands
Sudiriferous
sebaceous
What are the two types of sudoriferous glands
-apocrine
-eccrine
What is the product and purpose of the eccrine gland?
Product: hypotonic filtrate of blood plasma
Purpose: temp control, antibacterial properties
What is the product and purpose of the apocrine gland?
Product: Filtrate of blood plasma w added proteins and fatty substances
Purpose: Sexual scent glands
T/F Apocrine glands are more distributed than eccrine glands
False, Eccrine glands are everywhere, much more widely distributed
What is the product and purpose of the sebaceous glands?
-Product: sebum
-Purpose: lubricate skin and hair, help prevent water loss, antibacterial properties
T/F Nails are modifications of the epidermis
TRUE
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
-support
-protection
-movement/anchorage of muscles
-stores minerals (calcium/PO4)
-hematopoesis (red marrow)
-triglyceride storage (yellow marrow)
-maintain calcium homeostasis
perichondrium
layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the cartilage of developing bone
chondroblast
cells that form the cartilage matrix
chondrocyte
cells that maintain the cartilage matrix
lacuna
hold osteocytes
What is the extracellular matrix mainly comprised of in skeletal cartilage?
collagen
What are the three types of skeletal cartilage
-hyaline
-elastic
-fibrocartilage
Where is hyaline cartilage found
-ends of long bones (joints)
-costal cartilage
Where is elastic cartilage found, and what does it do?
-permits sretching
found: in ear
What is the role and location of fibrocartilage?
-absorbs shock
-location:intervetebral discs, pubis knee joint
Appositional growth
produced directly underneath (growth from without)
Interstitial growth
-produced inside matrix from and spans out (growth from within)
Covering membrane of bone vs cartilage
Bone: periosteum
Cart: perichondrium
Vasculature of bone vs cartilage
Bone: vascular and innervated
Cart: neither
Shape classifications of bones and ex of each
-short: talus
-long: femur
-flat: sternum
-irregular: vertebra
Two skeletal system differentiations (types)
-appendicular
-axial
tuberosity
-large rounded projection
-rough attatchment site for muscles
-ex: deltoid tuberosity
Trochanter
large blunt process (on femur only)
Line
narrow ridge on a bone
Tubercle
small rounded projection on a process
Epicondyle
-raised area above a condyle
spine
sharp slender often pointed projection
process
any bony prominence
head
bony expansion on a narrow neck
facet
smooth nearly flat surfac
condyle
rounded articular projection often w fossa
Groove
furrow
fissure
slit
foramen/ foramina
round opening
notch
indentation at edge
meatus
canal passageway
sinus
cavity within a bone filled w air and lined w a mucous membrane
fossa
shallow basin like depression
diaphysis
middle of bone
episphysis
ends of bone
epiphyseal plate/line
plate: cartilage area that allows bone to grow
line: fully bone remenant of plate
periosteum
covers all area of bones except joints (where bones meet)
WHAT ARE THE TWO layers of the periosteum
-fibrous layer
-osteogenic layer
fibrous layer of the periosteum
dense irregular connective tissue
osteogenic layer of the periosteum
contains osteogenic cells, involved in forming new bone
What are the components of the osteogenic layer of the periosteum
-osteogenic cells
-osteoblasts
-osteoclasts
-nutrient foramina
-perforating fibers
nutrient foramina
holes that allow nutrients/vessels into bone cavity
perforating fibers
provide support/connection
-dense in areas of attachment
endosteum
lines medullary cavity
yellow marrow
in the middle of medullary cavity (fatty/triglycerides)
hematopoetic tissue (red marrow)
in spongy bone, involved in formation of blood cells
osteogenic cells
stem cells
osteoblasts
synthesizes protein portion of matrix
osteocytes
mature bone cell, maintains and monitors bone matrix
osteoclasts
bone resorbing
what are the two components of the osteoid?
-organic/protein portion
-hydroxyapatites
organic portion
made and secreted by osteoblasts
-1/3 of the matrix
-ground substance (collagen 90%)
hydroxyapatites
-inorganic portion
-2/3 of matrix
-calcium phosphate granules (hydroxyapatites)
