Lab 7 Flashcards
functions of adipose tissue
-provides padding, cushions shocks
-insulates (reduce heat loss)
-energy storage
functions of areolar tissue
-cushions organs
-provides support but permits movement
-phagocytes protect against pathogens
histological attribute of adipose tissue
-“chicken wire appearance”
-large pale staining central vacuole contains fat droplet
-displaced adipocyte nuclei (off to the side)
histological attributes of areolar tissue
-loosely arranged collagen and elastic fibers
-interspersed fibrocytes
-many immune system cells with larger nuclei
locations of adipose tissue
breasts, buttocks, deep to the skin, padding around eyes and kidneys
locations of areolar tissue
-within and deep to the dermis of the skin
-covered by epithelial lining of digestive, respiratory and urinary tracts
-between muscles
-around joints
-around blood vessels and nerves
locations of dense regular tissue
-tendons (between skeletal muscle and skeleton)
-ligaments (between bones or stabilizing organs)
-covering skeletal muscles
-deep fascae
functions of dense regular tissue
stabilizes bones, provides attachment and conducts pull of muscles, reduces friction of muscles
histological elements of dense regular tissue
-linear arrangement of fibroblast cells with flattened nuclei
-many closely packed collagen fibers
-wave-like arrangement of collagen fibers
location of hyaline cartilage
-between tips of ribs and bones of sternum
-covering articular surfaces of bones
-nasal septum
functions of hyaline cartilage
-provides stiff but flexible support
-reduces friction between bony surfaces
histological features of hyaline cartilage
-“hazy” appearing matrix
-mature chondrocytes lay in lacunae
location of elastic cartilage
-auricle of external ear
-epiglottis
functions of elastic cartilage
-tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape
histological features of elastic cartilage
-scant matrix with many dark staining elastic fibers
-chondrocytes lay in lacunae
locations of fibrocartilage
-pads within knee joint
-intervertebral discs
functions of fibrocartilage
-resists compression
-prevents bone to bone contact
-limits movement
histological features of fibrocartilage
-lacunae arranged in clusters or alternate rows
-fibrous matrix with thick collagen fibers
histological features of skeletal muscle tissue
-single, long, multi-nucleated cells, arranged in parallel rows
-obvious striations
histological features of cardiac muscle tissue
-short branching chains of uni- or bi- nucleated cells
-striated
-intercalated discs
histological features of smooth muscle tissue
-single, uni-nucleated, spindle-shaped cells
-non-striated
- Two-part
muscle
consisting of a
frontal and
occipital belly - Extends from
the forehead to
the back of the
head
Epicranius
- Pulls scalp
forward and
back - Raises
eyebrows - Wrinkles

surrounding the
eyelid and rim of
the orbit
Orbicularis
oculi

Orbicularis
oculi
Multilayered,
muscle of the lips
Orbicularis
oris
Closes lips
(i.e. playing the
trumpet,
whistling, and
kissing)
Orbicularis
oris
Muscle
overlaying
lateral aspect of
the mandible
masseter
- Closes jaw
- Elevates
mandible
masseter
- Main cheek
muscle - Deep to the
masseter - Fibers run
horizontally
buccinator
Compresses
cheek
(i.e. sucking and
whistling)
buccinator
Pair of muscles
extending from
cheekbone to
corner of mouth
zygomaticus
Raises lateral
corners of
mouth
(i.e. smiling)
zygomaticus
- You fell asleep at the table studying for your anatomy practical, and in the morning your roommate opens up
the blinds. The blinding light of the sun causes you to squint.
– Which muscles allow you to do this?
Orbicularis oculi (closes eyes)
- After a long day of classes, you swing by Terrace to grab a burrito and pick up a drink from UTea.
– Which muscles allow you to drink the milk tea through a straw?
Orbicularis Oris (closes
lips) & Buccinator
(sucking)
– Which muscles are used to devour your burrito?
Orbicularis Oris (closes lips) and Masseter (chewing)
