Question 1

Tissues Types

Answer 1

Muscle
Nervous
Epithelia
Connective

Question 2

Muscle (tissue)

Answer 2

Tissue capable of contraction or movement

there are three types - Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac

Question 3

Nervous (tissue)

Answer 3

Tissue that conducts electro-chemical impulses to transmit information

Question 4

Epithelial (tissue)

Answer 4

Tissue that forms layers for protection, absorption or secretion

two sub types
-layers forming inside and outside layers of the body e.g lining or organs or skin

-Glandular tissue. Areas of secretory tissue. e.g salivary gland

Question 5

Connective (tissue)

Answer 5

Provides physical and nutritional support for the body

Question 6

4 Sub types of Tissues

Answer 6

Based on Consistency
- Fluids e.g blood
-Loose e.g adipose tissue
-Dense e.g tendons
- Soild- bone and cartilage

Question 7

3 body Cavities

Answer 7

-thoracic
-abdominal
- Pelvic

Question 8

Functions of body Cavities

Answer 8

• to contain and provide protection for delicate organs
• to allow those organs to move and change in shape and size e.g breathing

Question 9

body cavities contains

Answer 9

• viscera - organs that lay in the cavity
• 2 layers of serious membranes forming an envelope around the viscera

Question 10

Serious membranes

Answer 10

• one layer attached to the inside of the body wall - called the Parietal layer
• other layer of serous membrane surrounds and is adhered to the surface of the viscera and is called the visceral layer

Question 11

Body Cavities are lined with?

Answer 11

The body cavities are lined with a very thin membrane called a serous membrane

Question 12

Thoracic cavity boundaries

Answer 12

Cranially - thoracic inlet
Dorsally - Thoracic Vertebrae
Caudally - Diaphragm
Laterally - Ribs
Ventrally - Sternum

Question 13

Pleural Membranes

Answer 13

The serious membranes lining the thoracic cavity are called Pleural membranes ( they have two connections dorsally and ventrally) Forming two spaces the left and right pleural spaces ( also called pleural cavities

Question 14

Mediastinum

Answer 14

is the separation between the pleural spaces. its midline and contains many of the thoracic organs e.g heart

Question 15

Pleural membranes further dived

Answer 15

• Parietal pleura - attached to the thoracic wall
• Visceral/pulmonary pleura - attached to the lung / organs
• mediastinal pleura - attached to the mediastinum

Question 16

Abdominal Boundaries

Answer 16

• Cranially - Diaphragm
• Dorsally - Lumbar Vertebrae
• Caudally - pelvic inlet
• laterally and ventrally - muscle wall of the abdominal wall

Question 17

Pelvic Boundaries

Answer 17

-Cranially - pelvic inlet
- Dorsally - Sacral Vertebrae
-Caudally - pelvic inlet
- Laterally and ventrally - bones of the pelvis

Question 18

Peritoneal membranes

Answer 18

the abdomen and pelvis cavitites are lined with one set of serous membranes
- these are the peritonal membranes and from peritonal space

Question 19

parietal Peritoneum

Answer 19

Attached to the abdominal and pelvic wall

Question 20

Visceral Peritoneum

Answer 20

Attached to the abdominal and pelvic viscera.

Question 21

intra - and retroperitoneal

Answer 21

most organs are almost totally covered in peritoneum - intraperitoneal

Retroperitoneal - pressed against the body wall and so only covered peritoneum on one side

Question 22

connecting peritoneum

Answer 22

surrounding each organ is connected to the body wall by a double fold. this provides support and supplies blood, lymph vessels, and nerves.

Question 23

Omentum

Answer 23

is connection between the abdomen wall and the stomach and pancreas

Question 24

Mesentery

Answer 24

this is a large fan - like structure connecting the intestine to abdomen wall
