summary slides pre midterm Flashcards
structure of skin
epidermis: superficial and thinner portion
dermis: thicker deep connective tissue
keratin
ensures the skin is waterproof and provides protection
melanocyte
cells that make melanin
dendritic cell
immune cells that engulf pathogens
tactile epithelial cells
sensory cell
epidermis layers
- stratum basale: deepest layer and contains stem cells that provide new skin cells
- stratum spinosum
- stratum granulosum
- stratum lucidum: only in thick skin
- stratum corneum: determine the type of skin cell ex. cuboidal vs columnar
dermis
- composed of strong dense, irregular connective tissue
- contains collagen and elastic fibres
- 2 layers of the dermis: papillary region (has finger-like projections), and reticular region
anatomy of hair
- hair is composed of dead squamous keratinocytes
- arrector muscle is what gives you goosebumps
each hair consists of:
- shaft: part you see
- root
- hair follicle: surrounds the root
- bulb: lower portion of the hair follicle
skin glands: oil glands
- typically connected to hair follicles
- sebum: oily secretion that prevents dry skin
skin glands: sweat glands
- eccrine: responsible for thermoreg
- apocrine: responsible for body odour, found in deep skin
hyponychium
tissue that attaches the nail to finger
free edge
extends past skin
nail bed
skin below the nail plate
nail plate
sits above the nail bed
lunule
crescent of nail
nail matrix
contains dividing cells which produce new nail cells
what is a joint + classfications
- contact btwn bones, btwn bones and cartilage, or btwn bones and teeth
- fibrous joints
- cartilaginous joints
- synovial joints
fibrous joints
2 types: sutures and syndesmoses
sutures:
- dense irregular connective tissue
- immoveable to slightly moveable
- ex. coronal suture
syndesmosis:
- more dense irregular connective tissue structure than in a suture
- 3 subtypes: interosseous ligaments (2 joints connect), interosseous membranes (binds neighbouring long bones), gomphosis (anchor root of tooth to the mouth)
cartilaginous joints
synchondroses and symphyses
synchondroses:
- connecting tissue is hyaline cartilage
- slightly moveable to immovable
- ex. costal cartilage of rib 1
symphyses:
- ends of bones are covered by hyaline cartilage but connecting tissue is a fibrocartilage disc
- slightly moveable
- occur in midline of body
- ex. pubic symphysis
synovial joints
- space btwn bones that contains a lubricating fluid
- slightly to highly moveable
characteristics:
- articular cartilage: hyaline cartilage that covers ends of bones
- articular capsule: sleeve like protection uniting bone ends
- synovial fluid: lubricating fluid secreted by synovial membrane
- rich in blood and nerve supply
synovial joint types: plane
allows for gliding movements
ex. intercarpal
synovial joint types: hinge
allows for flexion and extension movements
ex. knee
synovial joint types: pivot
rotation movements
ex. radioulnar
synovial joint types: ellipsoid
flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements
ex: radiocarpal
