Lab Final Flashcards
Uterus Menstrual
Phase 1
epithelium and cellular structure is gone
Uterus Secretory
Phase 3
jagged
Uterus Proliferative
phase 2
entatct epithelium- round to oval shaped
Gastrointestinal system: Gall Bladder
The lamina propria is a thin layer of loose CT, which together with the epithelium, forms the mucosa. The muscularis is a layer of smooth muscular tissue that helps the gallbladder contract and squirt its bile into the bile duct.
Small vs Large Intestine
Velvety tissue lines the small intestine, which is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The colon absorbs water from wastes, creating stool
Adipose tissue
loose fibrous connective tissue packed with many cells (called “adipocytes”)
Cuboidal Epithelium
Location: lining of kidney tubules, ducts of glands, germinal surface of ovary, thyroid parafollicular cells
Columnar Epithelium
Location: lines digestive tract, gallbladder, lining of uterus
Jejunum which is in small intestine
Smooth Muscle
No striations
involuntary
Small intestine
The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs,
Endocrine system: Adrenal Gland
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine, and an outer region (adrenal cortex) secreting corticosteroids.
Elastic cartilage
Resembles hyaline cartilage in its chondrocytes, but it’s matrix includes abundant elastic fibers
Location: ear, epiglottis
Endocrine System: Pituitary
Anterior (dark color): HGH, TSH, ACTH, PRL, FSH, LH
Posterior (light color): ADH, OT
Respiratory: Trachea
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Renal System: Urethra
Stratified Squamous
Dense Irregular CT
Location: dermis of the skin, the walls of large tubular organs, glandular tissue, and in organ capsules.
Testes
Gastrointestinal system: Liver
accessory digestive gland that produces bile
Endocrine system: Pancreas:
Islets of Langerhans—secrete the hormones glucagon, insulin
Dense Regular CT
Location: tendons and ligaments
Ovary
Dark Purple= Stratified Squamous
Lines the esophagus, mouth, and vagina
Renal System: Kidney:
Large Intestine
No villi
Many Goblets (mucus)
Many surface absorptive cells (aborb water)
Endocrine system: Parathyroid
The parathyroids produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Gastrointestinal system: Pancreas
Transitional Epithelium
Renal System: Bladder
Location: urethra and urinary bladder, renal pelvis
Skeletal muscle
very long multinucleated cells with cross sections. (vertical parallel fibers on slide)
Hyaline cartilage
Most widespread in body: ribs, joints, etc
Cardiac Muscle
Found only in the heart
Longitudinal sections of cardiac muscle
Nuclei are in the center of muscle fibers and widely spaced intercalated discs
-More organized than skeletal muscle
Endocrine system: Thyroid
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that control the speed of your metabolism – the system that helps the body use energy. Thyroid disorders can slow down or rev up metabolism by disrupting the production of thyroid hormones.
Gastrointestinal system: Esophagus
connects the throat to the stomach
Respiratory: Lung
Artery and Vein
vein will be collapsed on slide
Fibrocartilage
Invertertabral Discs
Human Growth Hormone
HGH
(from anterior Pituitary Gland)
in the Liver
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
ACTH
(Anterior Pituitary Gland)
adrenal cortex mediates the stress response through the production of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, such as aldosterone and cortisol
In the adrenal CORTEX
(targets outer portion of adrenal gland (cortex)
Prolactin
(from anterior Pituitary Gland)
in Mammary Glands
Follice Stimulating Hormone
FSH
(from anterior Pituitary Gland)
- stimulates maturation of ovarian follicle and ovum
- stimulates maturation of sperm in testes
- This is a gonadotropin
Luteinizing Hormone
LH
(from anterior Pituitary Gland)
causes ovulation and secretion of testosteron
also a gonadotropin
ADH
Made in supraoptic nuclei of Hypothalamus
-Targets collecting ducts of kidneys
Oxytocin
OT
targets uterine muscle contraction and milk Secretion
In paraventricular nuclei
T4 (Thryroxine) and T3 (Triiodothyronine)
and
Calcitonin
in Thyroid gland
Parathyroid Hormone
(increases blood calcium levels)
in parathyroid gland
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
(these are catecholamines)
Adrenal GLANDS (“suprarenals”)
Endocrine Cells:
Insulin (produced by Beta cells)
and Glucagon (Alpha cells)
Both hormones are produced in Islets of Langerhans of Pancreas
Glomerulus of Kidney
Tiny ball of capillary blood vessels involved in filtration of blood to form Urine.
Basic filtration unit of the kidney.
(GFR) is the rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli
Vein
Artery
