Chapter 5: Exam 2 material Flashcards
(68 cards)
bone
rigid because of mineral salts; well vascularized
what are the mineral salts?
calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate
what is the bone matrix?
deposited in lamellae arranged in concentric patterns around tubes
What is lamellae?
thin layers
What are the tubes?
Haversian canals
What are the bone cells?
osteocytes
what do the osteoblasts do?
deposit new bone, manufacture fibers that are part of the matrix; sit in lacunae (pocket filled with fluid)
osteoclasts?
take away unneeded bone (dissolve)
osteocytes?
mature bone; located in lacunae
what are the functions of bone?
internal support protects vital parts muscle attachment formation of blood cells storage of inorganic salts
blood
transport substances, maintains stable internal environmental conditions
cells suspended in fluid matrix (blood plasma)
fibers are protein molecules that are visible only when blood clots
blood cells?
RBC (erythrocytes); WBC (leukocytes); platelets (tiny dots in RBC)
membranes
composed of epithelial and connective tissue
line body cavities, separate organs, cover surfaces
types of membranes?
mucous
serous
cutaneous
synovial
mucous membrane
lines organs with a connection to the outside
composition of mucous membrane?
simple squamous or stratified squamous epithelium
loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
another connective tissue layer (submucosa)
goblet cells found throughout
functions of mucous membrane?
produce large quantities of mucus
secretion- mucus
absorption- intestinal lining
serous membrane
lines organs and body cavities that have no connection to the outside
thoracic and abdominal cavities
continuous sheet doubled over on itself to form 2 layers with a narrow space between them:
- parietal- portion that lines cavity walls
- visceral- covers outer surface of organs
composition of serous membrane?
simple squamous epithelium
loose connective tissue
arrangement allows interstitial fluid to pass through membranes into spaces between layers
serous fluid transudate?
fluid which has been passed through a membrane
thin, watery, low protein content
pathological conditions of serous membranes
effusion
adhesions
mesenteries
exudate
when cells, protein, and other solid material mix with serous fluid (as in trauma) it becomes denser
adhesions
if serosa are damaged, fluid production may impeded and abnormal connections form between parietal and visceral
ascities
collection of fluid in abdominal cavity
