What are the functions of the skin
Insulation, cushion, protects, prevents water loss, regulates body temp
What are the basic structures of the skin
An epidermis made of epithelium
a dermis made of connective tissue
- cemented together at dermal papilae
How does a blister happen
When the dermis and the epidermis seperate
What is the dermal papillae
The reticular and papillary layer
Most superficial layer; 20-30 layers of dead cells, essentially flat membranous sacs filled with keratin. Glycolipids in extracellular space
Stratum corneum
One to five layers of flattened cells, organelles deteriorating; cytoplasm full of lamellar granules and keratinohyaline granules
Stratum granulosum
Several layers of keratinocytes unified by demosomes. cells contain thick bundles of intermediate filaments made of pre-keratin
Stratum Spinosum
Deepest epidermal layer; one layer of actively mitotic stem cells; some newly formed cells become part of the more superficial layers. See occasional melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells
Stratum basale
What are the accessory organs of the skin
- Hair
- Nails
- cutaneous glands
What do articulations do
Hold bones together and allow body movements
What are the three structural types of articulations
Fibrous, synovial, cartilaginous
What are the functional types of articulations
Synarthroses
Amphiarthroses
DIarthroses
Freely moveable joints
Synarthroses
Slightly moveable joints
Ampiarthroses
Immovable joints
Diarthroses
Example of an structurally immovable joint
Fibrous joints: suture
have no joint cavity
two major types
Fibrous joints
What are the two major types of fibrous joints
Suture and syndesmoses (also gomphosis)
Joint held together by a ligament. fibrous tissue can vary in length, but is longer than in sutures
- Short ligament of dense fibers
Syndesmoses
joint held together with very short inteconnecting fibers, and bone edges interlock. (found only in the skull)
Suture joints
What is an example of a syndesmosis joint
the ligament that hold the fibula and the tibia together
Synovial joints have a
articular capsule = fibrous joints + synovial membrane
joint cavity containing fluid that is freely moveable
synovial joint
What are the 6 types of synovial joints
- ball and socket
- condyloid
- hinge
- plane
- pivot
- saddle
What are similarites betwen synovial joints
-have articular cartilage
- have reinforcing ligaments
- may have fibrocartilage pads
Allows sliding (non axial) movements in 1 or 2 planes
e.g. inter-carpal and inter-tarsal joints
Plane
Allows movement in 1 plane (uniaxial) flexion and extension
e.g elbow
Hinge
Allows rotational movement in 1 axis
e.g proxmial radioulnar joint
Pivot
allows biaxial movement in 2 planes
e.g wrist and knuckles
condyloid
Allows movement in 2 planes (biaxial)
e.g thumb metacarpal
Saddle
Allows multiaxial movement
e.g. shoulder and hip joints
Ball and socket
Decreases the angle of a joint
flexion
increases the angle of a joint
Extension
Increasing the angle of a joint greater than 180 degrees
Hypertension
Foot moves upwards
Dorsiflexion
Foot flexes downwards
plantar flexion
Limb moves away from the midline
Abduction
Limb moves toward the midline
Adduction
Move bone around it longitudinal axis
rotation
A combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction
Circumduction
Radius and ulnar are parallel
Supination
Radius moves across ulna
Pronation
Too foot medially
Inversion
Turn foot laterally
Eversion
