Chapter 4 & 6 Flashcards
(25 cards)
Four major tissue types
Epithelial tissue (ET)
Connective tissue (CT)
Muscle tissue (MT)
Nervous tissue
What are the characteristics of Epithelial Tissue?
They are tightly packed cells, arranged in layers.
Simple vs Stratified Epithelial Tissues?
Simple Epithelial Tissues (single layer of cells of the same shape)
Stratified Epithelial Tissues (many layers of cells).
Classification of epithelial tissues according to shape?
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Transitional
Pseudostratified
Exocrine Glands vs Endocrine Glands
Exocrine Glands: secrete their secretion through a duct.
Endocrine Glands: Ductless, secrete their secretion directly into the blood by diffusion.
Connective Tissue characteristics?
Connective Tissues are not tightly packed, surrounded by extracellular matrix (ECM) (also called intercellular matrix)
Alternate names of skin?
Integument and cutaneous membranes
Types of Serous membrane
Parietal layer: Line walls of body cavities
Visceral layer: Cover organs found in body cavities
3 types of Epithelial Membranes?
Cutaneous membrane
Serous membranes
Mucous membranes
Connective Tissue Membranes
Synovial membranes, lining the joint capsule
Epidermis and dermis make up the?
Skin/Integument/cutaneous membrane
Skin consists of ————Layers?
2
Hypodermis consists mostly off.
Adipose tissues/fat tissues
Which layer of skin contains blood vessels and nerve fibers?
Dermis
Which layer of the skin is closest to the surface?
Stratum Corneum
Which layer is damaged in first degree of burn?
Epidermis
What do we determine by ABCDE rule?
To determine Malignant melanoma / Skin cancer
Accessory Organs of the Skin?
Hair
Nails
Skin receptors
Where are Sebaceous glands located?
Near the hair follicles to secrete sebum
Functions of skin?
Protection
Temperature regulation
Sense organ activity
Synthesis of vitamin D
Types of Skin Cancer?
Squamous cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma
Malignant melanoma
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) (HHV8)
Warning Signs of Malignant Melanoma
ABCDE:
Asymmetry
Border
Color
Diameter
Evolving
Classification of Burns
First-degree (partial thickness) burns
Second-degree (partial thickness) burns
Third-degree (full thickness) burns
Fourth degree (full thickness) burns
What is the most common type of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma
