increase scar tissue strength to aid in tendon healing
effective with burns

Q

tissue left over after damaged, scar is stronger than the tissue being replaced
MC: postpone working on scar tissue until area has completely healed

A

osteocytes

18
Q

Bone forming cell found just beneath the periosteum

A

osteoblasts

19
Q

Bone-destroying cell found in the lining of the medullary cavity; breaks down bone tissue to maintain blood calcium levels

A

osteoclast

20
Q

Constancy of the body’s internal environment; it represents a relatively stable condition

A

homeostasis

21
Q

stretch receptors located within the muscle belly; detects sudden stretching, causing the nervous system to respond by reflexively contracting the muscle

A

muscle spindles

22
Q

Organ located inferior to the stomach; both an endocrine gland that secretes insulin and glucagon, and an exocrine gland that secretes enzymes

A

pancreas

23
Q

Narrow tube that transports urine from the urinary bladder out of the body during urination

A

urethra

24
Q

slender hollow tube transporting urine formed by the kidney to the urinary bladder

A

ureters

25
Q

stomach

A

gastro

26
Q

distal sphincter of the small intestine, located between the small and large intestine

A

ileocecal sphincter

27
Q

is an enlargement of the gastrointestinal tract, bound at both ends by sphincters; breaks bolus of food down into chyme; secretes the digestive enzyme that breaks down the proteins

A

stomach

28

A

uterus

32
Q

Bean shaped structures located along the lymph vessels; filters lymph; houses phagocytes and lymphocytes tat destroy pathhogens and other foreign substances in the lymph before it returns to the blood.

A

lymph nodes

33
