HUBS191 Module 1 Flashcards
What are the four tissue types?
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Epithelial tissue
Nervous tissue
Connective tissue
45% of all tissue
Stuctural framework for the body
Blood, lymph, cartilage, and bone
Three types of Muscle Tissue
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Function and feature of epithelial tissue
Physical protection
Permeable
Nervous tissue
Afferent, efferent information
Contains support cells which maintain, protect and regulate neurons
Examples: Brain, spinal cord, neurons, nerves
Who needs to give consent to donate human tissue under the human tissue act 2008
needs informed consent from both donor and family member.
6 key functions of the skeleton?
Support
Protection
Movement
Calcium and phosphate reserve
Haematopoiesis
Fat storage
Parts of the skeleton
Axial skeleton
- protect and support internal organs
- skull, vertebrae, rib cage
Appendicular skeleton
- Primary function is movement
- limbs
Types of bone tissue
Cancellous
Compact
Five key types of bone
- Flat bone
- Irregular bone
- Sesamoid bone
- Short bone - weight bearing
- Long bone - levers for movement
Bones of the hand
8 Carpals
5 Metacarpals
14 Phalanges
Bones of the foot
7 Tarsals
5 Metatarsals
14 Phalanges
What is the Epiphysis? And features
Distal and proximal ends of the bone
Cancellous bone
Covered in hyaline cartilage
Metaphysis
Area connecting the epiphysis to the diaphysis
Diaphysis
Shaft of the bone
Compact bone
Contains yellow marrow
Blood vessels and nerves
Medullary Cavity
Space in the cavity which contains fatty bone marrow
Lined with endosteum
What is the endosteum
Membrane that lines the medullary cavity, containing osteoblasts to build bone.
Periosteum
Thick sheath of dense irregular connective tissue covering the bone surface
Perforating fibres hold the periosteum to bone
