Anatomy Week 4 & 5
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) | made up of water, proteins/glycoproteins, and proteoglycans that form large bundles that bind together and to the cells of the tissue. ECM varies from tissue to tissue |
Collagen | Most abundant protein in the body |
Epithelial membranes are | Cutaneous, serous, and mucous . |
Types of tissues | Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous . |
Epithelial tissue | Covers and protects the body surface cavities, transport of substances (absorption, secretion, and excretion). |
Connective tissue | Supports body structures and transports substances throughout the body. Most abundant tissue in the body |
Muscle tissue | Produces body movements and heat . |
Nervous tissue | Communicates between body parts integration and regulation of function . |
Lipofuscin | A brown-yellow pigmentation from the epidermal cell age and stop mitosis. |
Sweat or sudoriferous gland | Most common in the body and subdivided into eccrine and apocrine. |
Dermis | Commonly referred to as “true skin”. It is divided into 2 layers: thin papillary and thick reticular. |
5 cells of the epidermis are | Stratum basale. Stratum spinosum. Statum granolosum, Statum lucidum. Stratum corneum. |
Photoaging | Premature damage to skin due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation |
Axial skeleton composed of | The bones of the skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cavity . |
Appendicular skeleton composed of | The bones of the upper and lower extremities, and the shoulder and pelvic girdles. |
Myeloid tissue | Specialized connective tissue of the bone marrow and produce blood cells. |
Female vs Male pelvic bone | The female pelvis is r, suprapubic angle more than 80 degrees. The male pelvis is narrower, suprapubic angle being less than 60 degrees. |
Fibula | Thin and long bone found in the leg,and has no weight bearing responsibility. |
Hyoid bone | Part of the axial skeleton, the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone. |
Osteoblasts vs osteoclasts | Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells and osteoclasts are bone reabsorbing. |
