Test Two Flashcards
integumentary system (4 general traits)
-protection from infection -thermoregulator -starts vitamin D pathway -sensation source
reticular fibers
make up stroma, the walls of soft organs (spleen and liver)
keratin
a waterproof protein
apical surface
top, may have cilia or microvili
lamellae
rings of bone around central canal
endoderm
inner, epithelial, inside of the digestive tract
mesoderm
middle, epithelial, connective, muscle
osteoporosis
loss of bone density (age)
hypodermis
attaches skin to underlying structures
major danger behind 3rd degree burns
infection
chondroblasts
immature cartilage cells
3 kinds of cell junctions
-tight junctions- “fuse adjacent cells with a web-like strip of protein”, keeps cells close and liquid out -desmosomes- (little bit loose) links adjacent cels with transmembrane glycoproteins -gap junctions- protein tunnels made of connexions, allow material to pass between cells (ex- cardiac cells)
osteoblasts
immature bone cells
zone of resting cartilage
chondrocytes anchor the epiphyseal plate to the epiphysis
epidermis
outer layer, can be thick (palms) or thin
osteoprogenitor cells
bone stem cells, only kind of bone cell that cal divide, initially an osteoprogenitor cell itself (to keep the stem cell line going)
perichrondrium
membrane around cartilage inside linings are inactive osteoprogenitor cells
4 exocrine glands associated with the skin and their products
-mammary glands- milk -ceruminous glands- ear wax (cerumin) -sebaceoous glands- oil (sebum) -sudoferous glands- sweat
avascular
no blood vessels
compare spongy bone to compact bone
-spongy- red bone marrow, epiphysis, spaces -compact- yellow bone marrow, diaphysis, osteons
pseudomonas
opportunistic bacteria that infects us when we are damaged (secretes green fluorescent material) always on us
basement membrane
give cells to connective tissue
list the 6 parts of a long bone and what they are
-epiphysis- ends -diaphysis- shaft -medullary cavity- space in diaphysis (yellow marrow) -periosteum- bone covering -articulating surface- joint surface (hyaline cartilage is here) -metaphysis/epiphyseal plates- line between epiphysis and diaphysis, where growth occurs
sebum
oil (from sebaceous glands)
layers of the epidermis (5)
-stratum corneum- outlet (lobe) -*stratum lucidum- only palms and soles -stratum granulosum -stratum spinosum -*stratum basale- only layer than actively carries on mitosis TOP 3 ARE DEAD
tissues
group of similar cells that perform a specialized function
epidermal wound healing
stratum basale cells of dermis break free, walk across bottom of wound until they connect
elastic fibers
allows for a return to shape
“-cyte”
mature cells
“-blast”
immature cells
pathologist
looks for a disease in the 4 main tissues (epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous)
reverse isolation
hospital must protect the patient from us
zone of proliferating cartilage
what Dr. is interested in, only zone where actual division occurs
desmosomes
junction links adjacent cells with a transmembrane glycoproteins (little bit loose)
melanin
brown pigment, protects the skin cells from UV radiation
3 primary germ layers
-endoderm- inner, epithelial, inside digestive tract -mesoderm- middle, epithelial, connective, muscle -ectoderm- outer, epithelial (skin), nervous
deep wound healing
break into dermis or below, 3 WBC types will attack the infection
what is hypocalcemia, its symptoms, what hormone responds to this?
-low blood calcium -symptoms- tremors, spasms -parathyroid hormone (PTH)- raises blood calcium levels {by stimulating osteoclasts}
connexions
an assembly of 6 proteins called connexins that form the ore for a gap junction between the cytoplasm of 2 adjacent cells
4 membranes and where you wound find each
-mucus membrane- open to outside -serous membrane- not open to outside -synovial membrane- joint cavities -meninges- around CNS
metastasis
when cancer spreads (usually to blood/lymph), often to the lungs or liver (many small vessels)
dermis
under epidermis, basement layer is between, contains hair and glands
what is a compound fracture?
most dangerous (breaks skin), high infection rates, blood loss, fat embolism from yellow marrow being released
osteocyte
mature cells, live in lacunae
list the 6 epithelial cell arrangements
-simple squamous -stratified squamous -simple cudoidal -stratified cuboidal -simple columnar -stratified columnar -pseudostratified
exocrine glands
have ducts, 3 types (merocrine, apocrine, holocrine)
albinism
failure to produce any pigment (albino)
skeletal system functions (5)
-movement -support -protection -mineral storage -hemopoiesis
canaliculi
little cracks, allow for nutrients to flow
2 general types of tumors and the difference between
-benign- smooth, clear edges -malignant- tendrils that extend out to other cells
