Final Review Flashcards
How is melanin produced?
Produced by melanocytes
Passed through melanocytes to granular layer and absorbed into keratin
How much sun protection should you use?
SPF 30 and then reapply after 30 minutes + ever hour after that
How much does using tanning beds before age 30 increase the risk of melanoma?
75%- CT gets damaged
Which epithelial layer has the highest mitotic activity?
Stratum germinativum (basal layer)
Cell structures of skeletal muscle tissue
Myoblasts- muscles cells
Myofibrils- contractile elements (protein fibers- actin & myosin
Components of a muscle cell
Sarcoplasm- cytoplasm containing organelles
Sarcolemma- Cell membrane
Sarcoplasmic reticulum- System of tubes that communicates nerve impulses and enables contraction
Sarcomere- Contractile unit of myofibrils
What do mast cells produce?
AKA Leukocytes
Heparin- anticoagulant
Histamine- induces capillaries to release plasma
Where is the amniotic cavity located?
Forms from the amniotic sac above the epiblast and below the yolk sac
Cells of the developing embryo
Tropoblast
Epiblast
Hypoblast
When are tropoblasts formed and what do they give rise to?
Created during blastocyst formation as an outer layer of cells
Attaches blastocyst to the uterus during implantation
When are epiblasts formed and what do they give rise to?
Top layer of cells of the bilaminar germ disc
Gets renamed ectoderm–> becomes mesoderms–>endoderm
When are hypoblasts formed and what do they give rise to?
Bottom layer of cells in bilaminar germ disc
Hypoblast gets dumped into yolk sac (nourishment)
What is the primitive streak?
Elevation of epiblast on posterior border of primitive groove
Guides epiblast to form TGD
What is the primitive node?
Elevation of epiblast cells on the primitive pit
Guides proliferating epiblast to form future notochord
What does the prechordal plate form?
Oropharyngeal membrane
Separates future primitive mouth from primitive gut
Origin of the thyroid gland
Foramen cecum
Origin of the pituitary gland
Rathke’s Pouch forms the anterior pituitary gland
Associated structures of the frontonasal process
Lateral nasal process- alae of nose & nasolabial sulcus
Medial nasal processes- Columella & tip of nose, nasal septum, pre-maxilla
Intermaxillary segment- Philtrum, center of uppe rlip, premaxilla, alveolar ridge
Branchial grooves vs branchial pouches
Each have 4 pairs that correspond to the other
Grooves are external, pouches are internal
1st groove forms the external auditory canal. 1st pouch forms internal auditory canal
Remaining branchial grooves form the neck
2nd pouch forms tonsils
First branchial arch and associated structures
Posterior 2/3 upper lip, maxilla and hard palate
Cheeks and entire lower lip and mandibular arch
Anterior 2/3 of the tongue
How does linea alba form?
Fusion of the maxillary and mandibular processes
Associated structures of the 2nd branchial arch
Posterior 1/3 (root) of tongue
Reichert’s cartilage gives rise to: stapes, styloid process, lesser cornu of hyoid, superior aspect body of hyoid, perichondrium
Muscles of facial expression
7th facial nerve
How does a cleft lip form?
Partial or complete failure of the intermaxillary segment & maxillary process to fuse- failure of fusion btw the max process w/ the lateral borders of the center portion of the upper lip
Week 8
How do cleft palates form?
Premaxilla and/or secondary palate fail to fuse w/ nasal septum
And/or failure of premaxilla to fuse w/ secondary palate
