Integumentary, Skeletal & Muscular System Flashcards
Six principal functions of the skin.
Protection, heat regulation, secretion and excretion, sensation, absorption, respiration.
Integument
Covering or skin
The divisions of the skin
Epidermis – the outermost layer of skin.
Dermis – the deeper layer of the skin that extends to form the subcutaneous tissue
Percentage of blood supply to the skin at rest
5-9%
Blank and blank supply nutrients to the skin improving and increasing blood flow
Blood and lymph
What are the two types of glands in the skin?
Sebaceous glands – produce sebum (oil)
Sudoriferous glands - produce sweat.
Lesion
A structural change in the tissues, by injury or disease. There are three types: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
The skeletal system
The bony framework of the body. Composed of bones, Cartlidge, and ligaments.
The five functions of the skeletal system
- Offer a framework that supports the body structures and give shape to the body.
- To protect delicate internal organs and tissues.
- To provide attachment for muscles and act as levers in conjunction with muscles to produce movement.
- To manufacture blood cells in the red bone marrow.
- To store minerals such as calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, Magnesium, and sodium.
The two divisions of the skeleton.
Axial skeleton, and appendicular skeleton.
The components of the axial skeleton.
Cranium, face, ear, hyoid bone, vertebral column, thoracic cage.
The appendicular skeleton components
The upper extremities: clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges.
The lower extremities: pelvis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges.
Cartilage
A firm, tough, elastic substance, similar to bone but without its mineral content. Cartlidge cushions the bones at the joint, prevent jarring between bones in motion, and gives shape to external features, such as nose and ears.
Ligaments
Band of fibrous tissue that connect bones to bones.
Bursae
Fibrous sacks lined with synovial membrane and lubricated with synovial fluid, functioning as a cushion in areas of pressure.
Sprain
An injury to a joint resulting in stretching or tearing of the ligaments.
Class one sprain
There is a stretch in the ligament, some discomfort, and minimal loss of function.
Class 2 Spain
The ligament is torn with some loss of function. Discoloration from tissue damage and bleeding might be present.
Class III sprain
The most severe sprain, in which the ligaments are torn and there is internal bleeding and severe loss of function.
Bursitis
An inflammation of the small fluid filled sac (bursae) located near the joints that reduce the friction of overlying structures during movement.
