Week 8 (exam 3) Flashcards
What are the 2 examples of fluid CT?
1) blood
2) lymph
What is the liquid portion of the matrix called and what are the 3 blood cells?
Blood plasma
1) Erthrocytes
2) Leukocytes
3) Thrombocytes
What are erthrocytes?
Red blood cells (RBC’s)
Human blood lacks nucleus
Most common cells
Thin interior (lighter color), thick edges
Primary job to carry oxygen with pigmented proteins
What is the pigments protein that carries oxygen in the blood?
Hemoglobin
What are leukocytes?
White blood cells
All about the body defenses
Less numerous than red blood cells
Usually larger than red blood cells
Have distinct nuclei often really weird shape
5 general kinds
What are thrombocytes?
Cells involved in clotting of blood
Human blood you won’t see them just fragments
What does thrombo mean?
Clotting
What are the fragments of thrombocytes you see?
Platelets
What is lymph?
Drained off of interstitial fluid
The tissue fluid that is being drained in this system is the lymph
97% lymphocytes (white blood cells)
Lymphatic system discharges in the circulatory system
What are the 2 basic nerve or neural tissue?
1) Neurons
2) Glial cells or neuroglia
What are neurons?
Nerve cell proper
Conduct nerve transmissions
Large and complex
Mercer reproduce after made
What are glial or neuroglia cells?
Perform variety of supportive functions for neurons
More glial cells than neurons
Dominant in nerve tissue
Brain or spinal tumors occur cause something goes wrong in these cells
Reproduce constantly
What are the 3 basic kind of muscle tissue?
1) skeletal muscle (voluntary)
2) cardiac muscle (involuntary)
3) smooth muscle (involuntary)
What is skeletal muscle?
Attaches to skeleton
When muscle contracts bone moves
Cells are very large
Cylinder look and many nuclei located on the edge of the cell
What does multinucleate mean?
Multiple nuclei
What is cardiac muscle?
ONLY in the heart
Striated
Smaller cells that branch with one nucleus
Act as if they were one
Have intercalated discs
What are intercalated discs?
Dark straining lines between cardiac muscle
Mark location of gap junctions
-move ions
Electrically interconnected with each other
What is smooth muscle or visceral muscle?
No striations
Identified by texture under microscope
Found in walls of internal organs
- walls of blood vessels
- walls of tiny air passageways in lungs
- walls of digestive organs
