66
Basal Lamina

Free or open
68
Collagen fibers
Flexible and strong Most abundant protein in the body Found in bone and cartilage
69
Elastic fibers
Made of protein called elastin Not as strong as collagen Return to their natural shape and length after being stretched Found in the skin, walls of blood vessels, and lung tissue
70
Reticular fibers
Composed of collagen but are arranged differently than collagen fibers Thin Provides an excellent framework for soft organs such as glands and lymph nodes
71
Types of loose connective tissue
Areolar Adipose Reticular
72
Areolar connective tissue
Most widely dispersed connective tissue Found beneath epithelial tissues, in cavities, and between muscles Binds organs together giving strength, elasticity, and support
73
Adipose connective tissue
Fat tissue found under the skin, around the kidneys and within abdomen and kidneys Protection, insulation, support, and a place to store energy
74
Reticular connective tissue
Found in the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow Defends the body by filtering out microorganisms and other substances
75
Types of dense connective tissue
Dense regular Dense irregular Elastic
76
Dense regular connective tissue
Tendons and ligaments Provides tensile strength and flexibility for anchoring
77
Tendon
Anchors muscles to bones
78
Ligament
Anchors bones to bones
79
Dense irregular connective tissue
Forms the dermis (inner skin layer) and outer layer of the kidney and spleen Withstands stresses applied from any direction
80
Elastic connective tissue
Found in the walls of arteries Provides strength with stretching
81
Hyaline cartalige tissue
Most abundant cartilage Found in the ends of long bones, the larynx, the nose, and between the sternum and the ribs Provides support with flexibility Absorbs shock in joints
82
Fibrocartilage
Found in the intervertebral discs, knees, between pubic bones Provides protection and cushions body parts
83
Elastic cartilage
Found in the external ear and the epiglottis Support and framework
84
Fibrosis
Replacement of injured tissue by the formation of fibrous connective tissue – scar tissue Very strong but it lacks flexibility and elasticity Not able to carry out the normal functions of the tissue it has replaced
85
Steps of tissue repair
Inflammation - stimulates immune system Organization - restores blood supply, replaces damaged cells Regeneration and fibrosis - repaired tissue remodels itself
86
Visceral membrane
Covers organs
87
Parietal membrane
Lines body cavity
88
Tight junctions
Weblike strands of transmembrane proteins that fuse together outer surfaces of adjacent plasma membranes
89
Desmosomes
Have plaque and transmembrane glycoproteins (cadherins) that extend into intercellular space and attach cells to each other
90
Sudoriferous glands
Sweat glands
91
Apocrine glands
Sweat glands found primarily in the axillary and anogenital areas Activated during puberty Secretions same as eccrine plus proteins and fatty acids
92
Ceruminous glands
Modified apocrine glands found in the external ear canal secreting cerumen or ear wax
93
First degree burns
Damage only to the epidermis Symptoms include pain, swelling and redness
94
Second degree burns
Damage to the epidermis and the upper region of the dermis Symptoms are the same as first degree burns but also include blistering
95
Third degree burns
Damage to the entire thickness of skin - burned area appears gray, white, red or blackened. Initially there is little or no swelling and no pain
96
Dermis
"True skin" Beneath epidermis Hair follicles and sweat glands
97

98
Types of epidermal cells
Keratinocytes Melanocytes Langerhans cells Merkel cells
99
Keratinocytes
~90% of epidermal cells 4-5 layers Produce keratin and lamellar granules
100
Lamellar granules
Release water-repellant (lipid-rich) sealant to decrease water entry/loss and prevent entry of foreign material
101
Langerhans cells
Also call epidermal dendritic cells Participate in immune response against microbes by helping other cells recognize and destroy them Easily damaged by UV
102
Merkel cells
Least numerous In deepest layer of epidermis Contact with Merkel disc to detect touch sensation
103
Merkel (tactile) disc
Flattened process of a nerve cell
104
Four strata (layers) of epidermis
Stratum basale Stratum spinosum Stratum granulosum Thin stratum corneum (thin skin)
105
Thick stratum corneum (thick skin)
Fifth layer of skin In areas like fingertips, palms, and soles where friction exposure is greatest
106
Stratum basale
Single row of cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes Scattered keratin intermediate filaments Contains some stem cells Melanocytes and Merkel cells are in this layer
107
Stratum spinosum
Superficial to stratum basale 8-10 layers of keratinocytes Spinelike projections with keratin intermediate filaments which connect to desmosome - strenth and flexibility Langerhans cells and melanocyte projections are in this layer
108
