HUBS191 Flashcards
Name 4 different types of tissues
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What does Epithelial tissue do?
Covers exposed surfaces
Lines internal passageways and chambers
Forms secretory glands
What does Connective tissue do?
Fills internal spaces
Provides structural support
Stores energy
What does Muscle tissue do?
Contracts to produce movement
Includes skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle
What does Nervous tissue do?
Conducts electrical impulses
Carrier information
Epithelial tissue includes…
Epithelial, exocrine glands and endocrine glands
Connective tissue includes…
Loose and dense tissue
Blood and lymph
Cartilage and bone
Muscle tissue includes…
Skeletal tissue
Cardiac tissue
Smooth tissue
Nervous tissue includes
Muscles
Glands
Adipose tissue
Feedback
When the controlled variable moves too far from the set point and responses from the body attempt to move the variable back to “normal”
Feedforward
When there is an anticipation of an event that will alter a controlled variable, so may do something to minimise the effect
Anterior
Front facing half (closer to the front)
Posterior
Back facing half (closer to the back)
Superior
close to the head
Inferior
closer to the feet/lower half of the body
Medial
closer to the middle part of the body
Lateral
closer to the sides of the body
Proximal
closer to the centre of the body
Distal
further away to the centre of the body
Foot movement in coronal plane
Inversion (in) Eversion (out)
Circumduction in 4 movements
Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
2 types of bone tissue
Compact bone
Cancellous bone
Compact bone is…
strong
good at transmitting force in one direction
What is cancellous bone
light, spongy bone
Shock absorbing
Resits and channels forces that comes from different directions
Bone classes includes…
Long bone
Short bone
Irregular bone
Flat bone
What makes a long bone
levers for movement
Thicker compact bone in diaphysis
What makes a short bone
Mostly cancellous bone
Weight bearing
Name 2 divisions of the skeleton
Axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton
Axial skeleton includes
The skull
The vertebral column
Rib cage
Appendicular skeleton includes
Limb skeleton
Bone tissue composition includes
Connective tissue
Organic and Inorganic components
33% ECM is organic, what is in it?
Collagen
Ground substance (proteoglycans)
