REview sheet Flashcards
The study of general form, or morphology, and superficial anatomical markings.
Surface anatomy
considers all the superficial and internal features in a specific area of the body, such as the head, neck, or trunk.
Regional anatomy
consider structures of major organ system such as the skeletal or muscular system.
systemic anatomy
are groups of organ that function together to produce coordinated effect
organ system
examines the changes in form that occur during the period between conception and physical maturity
developmental anatomy
consider the anatomical organization of different types of animals
comparative anatomy
focus on the anatomical features that may undergo recognizable pathological changes during illness.
clinical anatomy
Large areas of opposing plasmalemma maybe interconnected by transmembrane protein called____ which binds to each other and to other extracellular materials
cell adhesion molecule
The membrane of the adjacent cells may also be held by
intercellular cement
Two types of cell junction are
communicating junctions
adhering junctions
two cells held together by membrane called connexons
communicating junction
a tight junction , the lipid portion of the two plasmalemmae are tightly bound together by interlocking membrane proteins.
adhering junctions
mechanically link two adjacent cells at their lateral surfaces or link an epithelial cell to the underlying basal lamina .
anchoring junctions
Responsible for connecting intercellular microfilament to protein fibers of the basal lamina
focal adhesion
found in epithelial tissue that are subjected to a significant amount of abrasion and shearing forces, and require a strong attachment to underlying basal lamina..
Hemidesmosomes
A sheetlike anchoring junction that serves to stabilize the lateral of adjacent epithelial cells
zonula adherens
provides small, localized spotlike anchoring junction that stabilize adjacent epithelial cells
macula adherens
a sheet of cells that covers an exposed surface or lines an internal cavity of pasageway.
epithelium
Function of epithelial tissue
Protection
absorption
secretion
sensation
excretion
Criteria for Classifying Epithelial Tissues
cell shape
cell layer
cellularity
Polarity
attachment
avascularity
regeneration
Types of epithelial tissue
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
Allows for diffusion and filtration and is located at the alveoli of lungs, blood vessels (endothelium), Bowman’s capsule in kidneys
squamous
Function: Secretion and absorption.
Location: Kidney tubules, glands, surface of ovaries.
cuboidal
Function: Absorption and secretion.
Location: Lining of digestive tract (stomach, intestines), reproductive tract
columnar
are found through out the body but unlike epithelial tissue, are never exposed to the environment outside the body.
connective tissue
three categories of connective tissues
connective tissue proper
supporting connective tissue
fluid connective tissue
connective tissue with many types of cell and extracellular fibers in a syrup ground substance.
connective tissue proper
have distinct population of cells suspended in watery matrix that contains closely packed fibers
fluid connective tissue
have a less diverse cell population than connective tissue proper and matrix that contain closely packed fibers
supporting connective tissue
The ___lines the passage way that communicates with the exterior, including the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary tract. Example is columnar epithelium.
mucous membrane
line the subdivision of the ventral body cavity. They are very thin and are firmly attached to the body wall and to the organs they cover.
serous membranes
___covers the surface of the body and consist of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and underlying layer of areolar connective tissue reinforced by a layer of dense connective tissue.
cutaneous membrane
Joint that permits the significant movement are surrounded by a fibrous capsules and contains a joint cavity lined by___.
Synovial membranes
strong and most common fibers in connective tissue.
collagen fibers
are responsible for maintaining these connective tissues.
fibrocytes
are thinner than collagen fibers, and they form a branching, in framework that is tough but flexible .
reticular fiber
contains the protein elastin which are branching and wavy,
elastic fibers
___in normal connective tissue proper is clear, colorless and similar in consistency to maple syrup.
Ground substance
in contrast to serous or mucous membrane, _____ is thick, relatively waterproof, and usually dry.
cutaneous membrane
___ membrane consist of extensive areas or areolar tissue bounded by an incomplete superficial layer of squamous and cuboidal cells
synovial membranes.
the internal frame work of the body is created by
connective tissue
a layer or sheet of connective tissue that can be seen on gross dissection
Fascia
this layer of loss connective tissue separates the skin from underlying tissues and organs
superficial fascia or subcutaneous layer
