Study guide exam 1 (condensed) Flashcards
What are the levels of human structures? And explain them.
- Organism (completely individual, can function on it’s own)
- Organ systems (A group of organs that do specific functions)
- Organs (composed of two or more tissue types)
- Tissues (A mass of similar cells that work together to do a specific function)
- Cells (Smallest living unit)
- Organelles (Small structures in a cell that carry out specific functions in the cell)
- Molecules (Particles of at least 2 atoms that are chemically bonded)
- Atoms ( you know this already on the slides though)
What does the Retroperitoneal mean?
outside the peritoneum, which is covered by peritoneum on the one side facing the peritoneal cavity
What are the Retroperitoneal organs?
kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands, most of the pancreas, and the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava
What is the function of the Skeletal system
Support, movement, mineral storage,
What is the function of the Muscular system
movement, stability, heat production, communication
What is the function of the Nervous system
motor control, rapid internal communication, motor control
What is the function of the Endocrine system
hormone production
What is the function of the Circulatory system
distributes nutrients
What is the function of the Lymphatic system
detection of pathogens, production of immune cells
What is the function of the Respiratory system
absorbs oxygen and gets rid of CO2
What is the function of the Digestive system
nutrients breakdown and absorption, metabolism
What is the function of the Urinary system
elimination of waste, regulation of blood volume and pressure
What is the function of the Integumentary system
Protection, water retention, produce vitamin D, thermoregulation
What is the function of the reproductive system
reproductive roles like producing sperm and eggs and stuff like that
What organs do the thoracic cavity contain?
Lungs, heart, major blood vessels, esophagus, the trachea, bronchi and thymus
What organs do the abdominal cavity contain?
Contains most of the digestive organs
Spleen, kidneys, and ureters
What organs do the pelvic cavity contain?
distal large intestine, urinary bladder, urethra, and reproductive organs
What are the three serous membranes?
Peritoneum, Pleura, Pericardium
Where is the serous membrane Peritoneum located?
In the abdominal cavity
Where is the serous membrane Pleura located?
around the lungs
Where is the serous membrane Pericardium located?
around the heart
Define the Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
- Has less resolution but produces 3-D images
- Does not see through the object but can view only the surface of the specimen
Define the Light microscope (LM)
Limited to magnification you can see color but cannot see the plasma membrane
Define the Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
- High resolution
Slices the specimen and cannot reuse the specimen
What are peripheral proteins?
Proteins that are not imbedded in the lipid bi layer but are only on the outside intercellular or extracellular face
What are integral proteins?
they are proteins that are imbedded into the lipid bi layer
What are receptor proteins?
It passes the message through to the inside of the bilayer
What are enzyme proteins?
they break down a certain thing when it attaches to it
What are channel proteins?
It lets stuff through
What are gated channel proteins?
it opens and closes and lets certain things through
what are cell-identity molecules?
it identifies the things that attach to it
what are Tight junctions?
it links the cells together like a zipper NOTHING GETS THROUGH
What are desmosomes of the cell junctions?
It prevents substances from pulling a part. It DOES NOT prevent things from going through or around them. It releases mechanical stress It is like a snap on a onsie
What are gap junctions?
it links cells together and allow small substances to be transported between cells
What part of the body has the most cartilage?
The ear lobe
What is filtration?
Physical pressure that forces fluid through a membrane
What is simple diffusion?
movement from high to low concentration with no energy
What is osmosis?
The movement of water from a less solute concentration to a higher solute concentration
What is facilitated diffusion
Movement from high to low concentration with the help of a carrier protein
What is active transport?
Movement from low to high concentration with the use of energy and helo of a carrier protein

Where in the body does the Simple cuboidal epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the Kidney, Cube like one layer of cells, absorbs and secretes
Where in the body does the Simple columnar epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the stomach/small intestine, in columns on layer of cell, has a brush border
Where in the body does the Pseudostratified columnar epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it

Where in the body does the Stratified squamous epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the esophagus, female reproductive tract, and anal canal , flat two layer of cells,
Where in the body does the Stratified cuboidal epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the Sweet gland, ovaries, and testes, Cube like two layers of cells
Where in the body does the Urothelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the Bladder, can stretch
Where in the body does the Stratified columnar epithelium surround/belong to in the body? And describe it
Found in the Salivary duct, pharynx, larynx, & male urethra , In columns two layers of cells
Define cardiac muscles
Smaller cells, it branches out and only have one nucleus, involuntary movement and they are straited
Define skeletal muscles
Voluntary movement, Large and cylinder shaped with multiple nuclei and have striations
Define smooth muscles
Found in the viscera, are fusiform shaped and only have one nucleus that is in the center with no striations, involuntary movement
Define muscle tissue
Contracts or shortens when there is no signal and very little extracellular matrix, voluntary movement
Define nervous tissue
Nervous tissue is specialized for communication via electrical and chemical signals
What is metaplasia in different tissue types?
a change from one type of mature tissue to another CAN REVERSE
What is Differentiation in different tissue types?
development of a more specialized form
What is Dysplasia in different tissue types?
an increasing degree of disordered growth of the tissue CAN REVERSE

is the development of a tumor CANNOT REVERSE
