INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
the study of the biology of animals that live
alongside humans
Animal Science
deals with breeding, farming and care of farm
animals
Animal Husbandry
- the study of the structure of the body and the
relation of its parts - a branch of biological science that deals with the
form, and structure of organisms
Anatomy
methods of anatomy based on processes
- Embryology - Developmental Anatomy
- Pathological Anatomy\
methods of anatomy based on application
- Surgical Anatomy
- Anatomical Art
methods of anatomy based on methods being employed
- Gross Anatomy
- Microscopic Anatomy/Microanatomy
description of the structure of
a single type of species
Special Anatomy
deals with the form and
structure of the principal domesticated animals,
largely descriptive in character
Veterinary Anatomy
the description of skeleton
Osteology
the description of the joints
Syndesmology
muscles and accessory structures
Myology
the description of the viscera
Splanchnology
the description of the organs of
circulation
Angiology
- the scientific study of the functions and
mechanisms which work within a living system - focused on how organisms, organ systems,
organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the
chemical and physical functions that exist in a
living system
Physiology
lie toward the
back (dorsum)
Dorsal
lie toward the belly (venter) or
the corresponding surface of the head or tail
Ventral
lie toward the head (cranium)
Cranial
ones toward the tail (cauda)
Caudal
toward the muzzle
rostrum
Rostral
lie toward the median plane (medianus, in the middle)
Medial
lie toward the side (latus, flank)
Lateral
lie toward the junction with the
body
Proximal
structures are those at a greater distance
Distal
In the limb – proximal part: structures lie toward the “front”
Cranial
In the limb – proximal part: structures lie toward the “rear”
Caudal
In the limb – distal part: structures toward the “front
Dorsal
In the limb – distal part: structures toward the “rear” (forelimb)
Palmar
In the limb – distal part: structures toward the “rear” (hindlimb)
Plantar
comprises the skin with its adnexal structures (e.g., hair and glands), horns, hoofs, claws, and other modifications of the epithelial covering of the body
Integumentary System
Functions of Integumentary System
- physical protection and protective barrier
- prevention of dehydration
- body temperature regulation
- sensory information via cutaneous receptors
- metabolic actions
- excretion of wastes
synthesized from
cholesterol in skin after
exposure to the sun.
Vit. D3 (cholecalciferol)
Cholecalciferol is converted to ________ in the ________
Calcidiol - liver
Calcidiol is converted to _______ in the ________
Calcitriol - kidneys
covers the outside of the animal and is continuous
with mucous membranes at oral, anal, and
urogenital orifices, the vestibule of the nostril, and
the palpebral fissure
Skin
- the outer layer of skin
- is an avascular stratified
squamous epithelium that is nearly free of
nerve endings.
Epidermis
primarily consists of
dense irregular connective tissue and
cushions the body from stress and strain
Dermis (or corium)
