Section 1:Anatomy And Physiology 3 Flashcards
1-1 Integument System
Consist of the skin,nails,hair,sebaceous and sweat glands
Skin
Largest non visceral organ.
-epidermis:outer epithelial layer;Striated squamous epithelium
-dermis:Dense ,irregular connective tissue layer
Hypodermis
Looser connective tissue layer
Subcutaneous medication maybe administered via hypodermic injections .
skeletal muscle cells
voluntary,involuntary.Multinucleated,cigar shaped and contain PLASMALEMMA orSARCOLEMA
Cardiac Muscle Cells
Striated and involuntary located in the heart.Responsible for contraction.
Smooth muscle cells
Uninucleated and involuntary.Location:walls of hollow organs such as stomach,intestines,bladder,blood vessels,uterus
cytoplasm of muscle cells
Filled with protein strands called MYOFILAMENTS.Mitochondria,golgi,vesicles.lysosomes and other organelles are randomly situated between myofibrils.
Myofilaments
Threadlike structures of myofibrils in the muscle .
A bands–Are dark bands;thin actin filaments and thick myosin.
I- bands–are light bands or striations.contain Z lines
myofibrils
main function:produce muscle relaxation.(microfilaments)
Sliding theory of muscle contraction
Thick and thin myolfilaments interdigitate and slide between and with one another during muscle contraction.Calcium and adenosine triphosphate(ATP) are vital in producing muscle contraction
abduction
Movement of bone and the limb away from the midline of the body
adduction
Movement of bone and the limbs toward the midline
efferent axon
Terminate on the skeletal cells at specialized synaptic sites of contact called Muscle end plates or Neuromuscular junction.(release acetylholine)
Right atrium(heart)
Receives deoxygenated blood from the head,neck,and upper extremities through the superior and inferior vena cava.
Right ventricle(heart)
Constricts to force blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the pulmonary trunk.
Left atrium(heart)
Oxygenated blood is sent through the 4 pulmonary veins
