Intro to Human Anatomy part 2 Flashcards
Integument
Skin
Also called cutous , derma
Covers everywhere except surface of eye
Epidermis
- 3 layers on the outside of the skin
- This is an epithelium
- Avascular - no blood supply ; cells have to get their supply from deeper structures
- Full of a protein called keratin
Keratin
Water proof
Function of epidermis
To control water and prevent water loss
So cant absorb water through skin b/c its waterproof and cannot absorb water
Dermis
Connective tissue layer
Vascular
Holds epidermis in place
Deep to epidermis
Hypoderm
Deep to dermis Also called telasubcutneous , subcutaneous Fatty layer Some may have more than others Not really strong
Pinoculus adiposus
Apron of fat
It’s around belly
Appendages
Structures associated with skin - hair, nail, glands [oil, sweat, riferous, mamallary gland, lectiferous glands]
Functions of skin
Forms a barrier [outside out, inside in] Immunity [antigen presenting structures] Homeostasis Sensory - touch Secretion Excretion - sweat
BISHES- acronym
How does skin help with homeostasis?
Prevents water loss
Heat control [temp control]
Vascular layers of skin
Hypodermis and dermis
Can vasodilate and vasoconstrict
Cleavage lines
Arrangement of tissues in the skin
Lines of lung
If cut across - more scaring
If cut parallel - less scaring , more healing
Fasciae
Connective tissue deep to integument
Superficial fasciae
Subcutaneous tissue
Deep fascia
What the hypoderm is attached to
Very strong
Continuous sheet through the entire body except for face or peri-anal region [close to perinium]
Skin of palm of hand
Has a lot cutaneous ligaments, but they are really short
Cutaneous ligaments
They run from the deep fascia through adipose layer and attach to dermis. [this anchors skin to deep fasica] - strong dense.
Back of hand skin
Few cutaneous ligaments and they are a lot longer
So they are more mobile as a result
Bursa
Hollow sacks, they have a the same lining as found in joints called the synovial membrane
- makes slippery
Put between structures that Will move; decrease friction between structures (ie. Ligament and bone, or bone and bone, etc)
Bursitis
Swells up and gets puffy , gets extra fluid inside the sacks
Skeletal system
Bones and cartilage
2 regions of skeletal system
Axial : Skull, neck, chest, vertebral column, ribs and sternum
Appendicular- everything else [shoulder girdle - clavicle and scapula and pelvic girdle - hip bones]
Cartilage
Not as rigid as bone
Slippery/ slidey
Avascular
Good surface for joints
Bone
Hard ridged structure
2 types: compact and spongy
Each bone is its own organ Because it has its bone tissue and marrow tissue
Compact bone
Solid bone, that forms the outside of most bones
Everything is very tight
Spongy bone
Inside of most bones - honey comb like
Also called cancellous bone
Bone marrow
Fill in the holes of spongy bone
Tissue that makes blood cells
Hemopoetic.
Long bones
Are long
Short bones
Short and smooth bones.
Ex wrist and ankle
Flat bones
Overall shape is flat, no expanded ends
Ex. Skull, ribs
Irregular bones
They are weird in shape
Vertebrate , and face
Sesamoid bones
Bones that develop inside of a tendon
Change the vector pull of a tendon, so it can have more of a mechanical advantage
Ex. Patella
Axial skeleton
Only have flat and irregular bones
Appendicular skeleton
Long, short and some flat bones
Development of bones
Develop in 2 processes:
- [intermembranous process ]
- endochondral
Mesenchyme
Soft embryonic connective tissue
Intramembranous process
mesenchyme directly turns into bone
Mesenchyme->bone making cells-> bone
Mesenchyme makes a membrane and make bone inside the membrane
Most flat bones - those of the cranial cavity
Endochondral process
Where mesenchyme makes cells that make cartilage —> the cartilage cells make a model of the bone out of cartilage —> cartilage is replaced by bone tissue
- doesn’t finish development until high school to college (18 or so)
Ex. Appendicular skeleton
Joints
Also called articulation
Where bones come together
Fibrous joints
Have some connective tissue holding the bones together
Ex. Sutures in skull [ move a littler, but not really]
Cartilaginous joints
Have 2 bones with a chunk of cartilage stuck between them
Ex. Intervertebral discs between vertebra ; symphysis pubis ; where ribs hook onto sternum
Some movement but not a lot
Synovial joints
Elbows, knees, hips, shoulders, jaws
Have a lot of movement
Have a lubricating fluid in them, looks and feels like egg white - same stuff inside bursae
Synovial joints parts
Joint capsule : ligament structure that surrounds the joint and defines a joint space [dense connective tissue]
Space - physical space where fluid is
Synovial membrane - makes synovial fluid [located inside capsule facing joint space]
Acticular cartilage - parts of the bones that are enclosed inside [ always covered with cartilage]
Fracture
Any brake of a bone
Compound fracture
When after breaking it pokes out of skin
Simple fracture
When it doesn’t poke out of skin after breaking
Green stick fracture
When kids break bones, they are still stringy
Ex. When break fresh tree branch
Sprains
Injuries to ligaments
Ligaments don’t get a good blood supply , so they take months to heal if ever
Muscular system
Motion and locomotion for body
Each muscle is its own organ because they are more than just muscle tissue
Types of muscle tissue
Skeletal - makes most muscles we think of including eye muscles - voluntary muscles
Cardiac - specifically only found in the walls of the heart
Smooth - doesn’t have characteristic striations in there [involuntary]
- iris, sphincter pupaile , stomach and intestine
Muscle cell
= muscle fiber
Muscle belly
Central region of each muscle
Attach to things via tendons
Tendon
Non contacting
Dense connective tissue
Origin of muscle
Less movable attachment
