thoracic cavity contains
heart and lungs. boundaries are established by chest wall and diaphragm
abdominopelvic cavity contains
encloses the peritoneal cavity.
abdominal cavity: digestive glands and organs
pelvic cavity: urinary bladder, reproductive organs and last portion of digestive tract
homeostasis
presence of of a stable internal environment
initial stimulus produces a response that exaggerates the change in the orginal conditions
postitive feedback
an effector activated by the control center opposes or negates the original stimulus, minimizes change
negative feedback
dehydration synthesis
forms a complex molecule by removing a water molecule
hydrolysis:
one of the bonds in a complex molecule is broken and the components of a water molecule are added to resulting fragment
peroxisome
breakdown of organic compounds
lysosomes
breakdown of organic compounds and damaged organelles
microvilli
increase surface area to facilitate absorption
Golgi apparatus
stores, alters, and packages synthesized products
ER
synthesis of secretory products
smooth: synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates
rough: modifies and packages proteins
ribosomes
protein synthesizes
mitochondria
produces 95% of ATP required by the cell
cytoskeleton
strengthens and supports the cell
Isotonic solution
does not cause an osmotic flow of water into to out of cell
hypotonic solution
causes osmotic water flow into the cell. swell and burst
hypertonic solution
in osmotic movement of water out of cell. cell shriveled and dehydrates
diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. high to low
osmosis
passively transported across plasma membrane. No ATP required
facilitated diffusion
provides the energy needed to move ions or molecules across the plasma membrane. not dependent on concentration gradient. 3 Na+ ions and 2 K- ions
active transport
materials move into or out of cell in vesicles
vesicular transport
importing extracellular substances through the formation of vesicles at the bell surface
endocytosis
produces vesicles containing a specific target molecule
receptor-mediated
formation of endoscopes filled with extracellular fluid
pinocytosis
cell eating
phagocytosis
vesicle formed inside the cell fuses with and becomes part of plasma membrane
exocytosis
epithelial tissue
provide physical protection, control permeability, provide sensation, produce specialized secretions
hemidesosomes
attach deepest epithelial cells to basement membrane
tight junctions
between wo plasma membranes, intestinal tracts
gap junctions
allow for rapid communication. found in heart
demosomes
glue , provide firm attachment
cartilage
matrix is a firm gel of chondroitin sulfates and protein substances. shock absorption and protection. chondrocytes. no blood vessels
bone
small vol. of ground substance. matrix made u[ of calcium slats. provide flexibility, tons of blood vessels
skeletal muscle tissue
moves the body
smooth muscle tissue
moves fluids and solids along digestive tract
cardiac muscle tissue
found in the heart
functions of the integumentary system
protect underlying tissues and organs & maintain body temperature
rickets
condition that results in flexible, poorly mineralized bones
layers of epidermis: straum basale
deepest layer of epidermis, attached by hemidesomsones
layers of epidermis: stratum spinosm
spiny layer
layers of epidermis: stratum granulosm
grainy layer, cells stop dividing and start producing keratin
layers of epidermis: stratum lucidium
clear layer, only in thick skin
layers of epidermis: stratum corneum
horn layer, exposed to surface to skin
dermis =
2 layers
papillary layer:
composed or areolar tissue. contains: smaller capillaries, lympathic vessels and sensory neurons. dermatitis
reticular layer
interwoven meshwork of dense irregular connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers. larger blood vessels. all cells of connective tissue present
cyanosis
blue
lack of oxygen or blood flow
jaundice
yellow
build up of bile in the liver
pituitary tumor
darkening of skin
excess of MSH
Addisons disease
skin darkening
disease of pituatry gland
vitiligo
loss of color, loss of melanocytes
repair of skin process
- inflammatory; intial injury causes bleeding and mast cell activation
- migratory: blood clot (scab) forms. migrate down rapid cell divison and migration along wound edges o replace missing cells
- proliferation: fibroblast have formed collagen fibers and ground substance
- scarring: scab sheds, epidermis complete. fibroblast continue to make scar tissue
flat bones
thin w/ parallel surface
skull bones, sternum, ribs, scapulae
sutural bones
small, irregular bones
found btw flat bones of the skull
long bones
relatively long and thin
arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers and toes
irregular bones
have complex shapes
vertrebrae, bones of pelvis facial bones
seasomid bones
small and flat
develop inside tendons near joints of knees, hands, and feet
short bones
small boxy/ thick
bones of wrist and ankles
epiphysis
wide part, ends of long bone, spongy bone, covered with articualar cartilage
diaphysis
the shaft, heavy wall of compact bone, central space= medullary cavity
metaphysis
epiphysis and diaphysis meet
endochondral ossification
ossifes bone that orginate as hyaline cartilage
- primary ossification center: begin spongy bone production. start to add to matrix, in center of diaphysis .
- meduallry cavity: moving toward the epiphysis
- secondary ossification center: capillaries and osteoblast migrate toward epiphysis
- at puberty, closes off (epiphysiseal line)
intramembranous ossification
occurs in the deeper layer of dermis
osteogenic cells
divide to produce daughter cells that differinate into osteoblast
osteoblast
make and release proteins. produce new bone matrix in ossificatoin
osteocytes
mature bone cells that maintain bone matrix
osteoclast
remove bone matrix
