Muscle Tissues and Nervous 4.4-4.5 Flashcards
Membranes Physical Barrier Types
- Mucous: exposed to environment ( lines passageways that communicate with the outsider) Epithelial surfaces are kept moist to reduce friction, facicilate absorption, secretion.
- Serous: Line the sealed subdivisions of ventral cavity. Consist of mesothelium supported via aerolar tissue.
- Cutaneous: skin, covers body surface. It has the stratified squamous epithelium, areolar tissue and underlying dense irregular.
- Synovial: Found where two articulating bones meet. Ends of articulating bones lie within joint capsules with synovial fluid to reduce friction.
Muscle
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Overall, muscles are vascular, cellular, movement, myofilamentrs cause movement.
Skeletal
Structure: Elongated cells that are multi-nuceleated and the nuclei are located periphery. Striated
Location: attached to skeleton and skin
Function: voluntary movement, warm blood through byproduct of heat, locomotion, facial exp.
Cardiac
Structure: central nuclei, striated, branching of muscle cells with intercalcated dics. Involun. control and has no external stimuli to contract. Decrease/increase in volume
Location: Heart
Function: contract cont. through autorythmic motion
Smooth Muscle
Structure: No striations
Central nuclei with no striations
Cells are very close together form sheets.
Location: Digestive, urinary, utereus, blood wall vessles
Functions: involuntary perristalisis movements throughout the lining of digestive and utereus
- Vasodilation/Vasoconstriction for the involuntary contract and expand of blood vessles
- Bronchodialtion/ Bronchoconstriction: ( Bronchi movement)
Peristalsis movements
Rhythmic contractions in uterus, digestive
Nervous Tissues
Main componenet of nervous system
Main cell types:
1. Neurons: highly specialized nerves cells that conduct and make impulses.
2. Neuroglia: supporting cells, insulate neurons
Neuron Structure
Motor Neuron
- Branching dendrites that carry and recieve impulse)
- The cell body brings impulse onto the axon
- Motor neuorns are myelinated and the axon carries impulse away. Myelin Sheath insulates, protects , speeds up impulse
brain, spinal cord, nerves
CNS / PNS
CNS
1. Astrocytes ( most abundant)
2. Microgalia (defenders)
3. Epediyma Cells ( speinal fluid)
4. Oligoedeudrocytes
PNS
1. Satellite Cels
2. Schawaan Cells
