Lab Practicum Flashcards
Stratified Squamous Epithelial Tissue
Flat, many layered, scale shaped, located in the lining of the mouth, and provides physical protection against mechanical or pathogenic stress.
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
Single layer of cubed shaped cells, located in the kidney tubules, to secrete and absorb.
Pseudostratified ciliated Columnar Epithelial Tissue
Single layer of ciliated column shaped cells that appear to be stratified, and line the trachea to protect and secrete.
Reticular Connective Tissue
Reticular cells suspended within a network of reticular fibers, located in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen. Framework for soft internal scaffolding.
Adipose Connective Tissue
Fat cells, located in the hypodermis, around kidney, heart and abdomen. It reserves fuel, insulates and protects.
Fibrocartilage
Structure is scattered among densely packed parallel bundles of collagen fibers, located in all discs ie, vertebrae to resist compression.
Hyaline Cartilage
Glassy homogenous matrix of collagen and chondritin, located at the end of long bones, trachea, ends of ribs. It provides a smooth surface.
Bone tissue
Osteocytes fixed within solid calcium, located in the skeletal system, which provide solid framework.
Blood tissue
Red and white blood cells suspended in fluid, contained within blood vessels, to support respiratory gases, nutrients, waste and other substances.
Simple Squamous E.T
Flat single layer scale shaped cell, located in the lungs, to diffuse gases rapidly.
Acetebulum
Socket of the hipbone.
Acromion Process
Is a bony process on the scapula (shoulder blade)
Abductor longus
Skeletal muscle located in the thigh, runs across the front of the abductor magnus.
Brachioradialis
Is a muscle of the forearm that flexes the forearm at the elbow.
Biceps Brachii
Is a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and elbow.
Biceps Femoris
The bicep femoris has three primary functions:extending the thigh, bending the knee, and rotating the knee toward the outside of the body.
Buccinator
Is a thin quadrilateral muscle occupying the interval between the maxilla and mandible.
Calcaneus
Heel bone, large bone that forms the heel.
Capitate Bone
The largest of the carpal bones.
Capitulum
Smooth, rounded eminence on the lateral distal part of the humorous.
Coccyx
Aka tailbone.
Coracobrachialis
Is one of three muscles that originates from the coracoid process of the scapula.
Coracoid process
Is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula. Stabilized the shoulder joint.
Coronial suture
Is a dense fibrous Connective Tissue joint that separates the two parietal bones from the frontal bone of the skull.
Deltoid
Is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion.
Deltoid Tuberosity
Is a rough, triangular area on the anterolateral surface of the middle of the humerus to which the deltoid muscle attaches.
Depressor Anguli Oris
Is a facial muscle associated with frowning, it originates from the mandible and inserts into the angle of the mouth.
Distal phalanx
Bones at the end of your hand.
Extensor digitorum longus
Is a thin, long muscle of the front of the shin, ankle, foot, and toes.
External Abdominal Oblique
A pair of broad, thin, superficial muscles that lie on the surface muscles that lie on the lateral sides of the abdominal region of the body.
External Acoustic Meatus
Passageway that leads from the outside of the head to tympanic membrane, or eardrum membrane, of each ear.
External Occipital Protuberance
Protuberance on the back of skull.
Fibularis longus
Is a superficial muscle in the lateral compartment of the leg, and acts to evert and plantarflex the ankle.
Foramen Magnum
The hole in the base of skull through which the spinal cord passes.
Frontal bone
Is an unpaired bowl shaped bone located in the forehead region.
Frontalis
Is a thin muscle, of a quadrilateral form, and intimately adherent to the superficial fascia.
Gastrocnemius
Forms the calf muscle, it’s function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint.
Glenoid cavity
Fossa of scapula is a part of the shoulder. It is shallow, pyriform articular surface, which is located on the lateral angle of the scapula.
Gracilis
Is a muscle found in the groin, it starts the external point of the ischiopubic Rumania and extends down to the upper medial shaft of the tibia, or shin bone.
Greater Trochanter
Is situated on the proximolateral side of the femur, just distal of the hop point and the neck of the femur.
Greater tubercle
Situated lateral to the head of the humerus and posterolateral to the lesser tubercle.
Greater wings
Is a bony process of the sphenoid bone; there is one on each side, extending from the side of the body of the sphenoid and curving upward, laterally, and backward.
