chapter 3,4, 5, and 2 from pathology
thin, sheetlike structures that cover and proctec the body surface are called
Membranes
the two major types of body membranes are
epithelial and connective tissue
infrlamation of the serous membrane in the abdominal cavity is called
peritonitis
the serous membranes in the thoracic are called
pleurae
Epithelial membranes that line body surfaces opening directly to the exterior are
Mucous membranes
the skin is composed of the following layers of tissue.
Epidermis and Dermis
A tough, waterproof material that protects the outer layer of skin is
Keratin
The basic determinant of skin color is
Melanin
the junction that exists between the thin epidermal layer of the skin and the dermal layer is called the
Dermal-Epidermal juction
The upper region of the dermis is characterized by parallel rows of tiny bumps called
Dermal papillae
the hair of a newborn infant is soft and fine and is called
Laguno
Sweat glands can be classified as
Eccrine and Apocrine
The following are functions of the skin exept.
Secretion.
Proctection, sense organ activity, and temperature regulations are functions but not secretion.
The secretion from hair follicles that helps lubricate the hair and skin is
Sebum
one of the most frequenly usde methods of determining the extent of a burn injury is
The “rule of nines”.
The internal living material of the cell is called
Cytoplasm
The outer boundary of a human cell is called the
Plasma menbrane
A major function of the cell membrane is to
Control what enters and leaves the cell
An organelle is a
tiny structure found in the cytoplasm
Ribosomes are oranelles that
float in the cytoplasm and attach to the endoplasmic reticulum
The interior of this organelle contains various kinds of enzymes capable of breaking down all of the main components of the cell.
Lysosme
This organelle is involved in processing and packaging proteins for export out of the cell.
Golgi apparatus
often referred to as the “power plant” of the cell, this organelle is the site of APT production.
Mitochondria
Diffusion can be defined as
the net movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Diffusion moves
down a concentration gradient.
Osmosis can be defined as
the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
Which of the following is an active transport process?
Endocytosis
the cell process that involves microorganisms or other large particles being engulfed is called
Phagocytosis
the component that distininguishes one nucleotide from another is the
Nitrogen base
RNA makes proteins by
Translation
The two processes of protein systhesis are
Transcripton and Translation
All of the DNA in each cell of the body is called the
Genome
Mitosis is subdivided into four phases including all of the following except
Karyophase
Prophase, anaphase, metaphase, and telophase are the four phases not karyophase.
which of the following is considered to be the “resting” phase of a cell in regards to cell division?
Interphase
Which of the follwing is not a principal type of tissue?
Cardiac
What is major function of epithelial tissue?
Proctection
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are found in the
Skin
A lubricating substance produced by goblet cells is called
Mucus
This type of tissue has cube-shaped cells and can be found lining the kidney tubules.
Simple cuboidal epithelium
The most abundant and widespread tissue in the body is
Connective Tissue
Which of the following is not a type of connective tissue?
Cardiac tissue
Adipose tissue is
A storage tissue
What is the main function of muscle tissue?
Movement
Which of the following contains intercalated disks?
Cardiac Muscle
The conducting unit of the nerve tissue is the
Neuron
A group of organs arranged in such a way that they perform a more complex function than can any organ alone is called a
System
This system included not only bones, but also related tissue such as cartilage and ligaments.
Skeletal
The system that includes the skin and its appendages is the
Integumentary system
Kedneys, ureters, bladder,and urethra can be found in what system?
Urinary system
The brain and spinal cord are organs of the
Nervous System
The voluntary muscles ofthe muscular system are called
Skeletal Muscles
This system is composed of specialized glands that secrete hormones
Endocrine System
the primary organs of the digestive system form a tube called the
Gastrointestinal track
Which of these glands are located in the skull?
Pituitary Gland and Pineal Gland
The tonsils, thymus, and spleen are specialized organs of what system?
Lymphatic System
The primary function of the cardiovascular system is
Transportation
Alveoli are fund in the
Respiratory System
The waste product produced by the Kidney is
Urine
The vas deferens, protate, and testes are part of the
Male Reproductive System
This term is used to describe the female external genitalia.
Vulva
