Q

4 Types of tissue

A

Connective: anchors, connects and supports other tissues found in every part of the body

Epithelial: cover internal and external body surfaces
specialized to absorb, secrete (produce) fluids
excrete (eliminate) wastes and protect
skin, hair, nails, glands, and tissues that line passages open to the outside

Muscle: allows movement

Nervous: forms the brain, spinal cord and nerves
relays information to and from the brain and throughout the body

4 Types of cells

A

Connective cells: support and connect body parts and exist in many different types

Epithelial cells: form protective coverings
sometimes produce fluids

Muscle cells: can contract and shorten or relax and lengthen to change the shape and position of body openings

surround body openings

Nerve cells: carry electrical messages and coordinate body activities

32
Q

Metastasis or Metastasized

A

the spread of cancer to other body parts

33
Q

Types of fractures

A

Open: (compound fracture) broken bone protrudes through the skin

Q

3 Layers Of Skin

A

Epidermis : outermost layer
contains living and dead cells
dead cells constantly flake off and are replaced with living cells
living cells contain pigment to give skin colour
has no blood vessels
has very few nerve endings

Dermis: second layer
made up of connective tissue
blood vessels, nerves, sweat, and oil glands in the dermis

Subcutaneous: third layer
attaches skin to muscle layer
