Cumulative Content (Ch. 1- Ch. 11) Flashcards
(42 cards)
Anatomy
study of the structure of the human body
Physiology
study of the function of the human body
Homeostasis
ability to maintain stable internal environment despite external conditions
Components of feedback loop
Stimulus- change in variable
Receptor- detects stimulus
Input- info sent along afferent pathway to control center
Output- info sent along efferent pathway to effector
Response- effector feeds back to reduce effect of stimulus and return to homeostasis
Primary constituent of plasma membrane
Phospholipid bilayer
Cholesterol
Embedded Proteins
Carbohydrates
Passive transport
Does not require ATP; moves down concentration gradient; difusion
Active transport
Requires ATP; moves against concentration gradient; primary or secondary
Osmosis
difusion of water
Hypertonic
Cell loses water and shrinks because there is more solute than water outside cell
Hypotonic
Cell gains water, swells and bursts because there is more water than solute outside the cell
4 types of tissue
Epithelial=all coverings (skin); Connective=tendons, ligaments, bones; Muscular=smooth, skeletal, cardiac; Neural (nerve)= brain, spinal cord, nerves
Keratinocyte migration through the epidermis
Stratum basale (single layer of metabolically active cells)
Stratum Spinosum (8-10 layers of live, some metabolically active cells)
Stratum Granulosum (transition layer- cells start to die)
Stratum Lucidum (only on thick skin, dead cells with thick plasma membrane)
Stratum Corneum (thickest layer, 25-30 layers of dead cells with thin plasma membrane)
Appendages of the integumentary system
Hair
Arrector Pili muscle
Sebaceous (oil) gland
Sudoriferous (sweat) gland [eccrine=attaches to skin; apocrine= attaches to hair follicle]
Nails
Compact bone
Forms dense, outer layer of bone
Spongy bone
located in bone interior (spaces filled with red or yellow marrow)
Osteon structure
Lamellae= circular tubes of bone
Central canal= middle space where nerves and blood vessels live
Canniculi= small channels carrying osteocyte processes
Lacunae= spaces between lamellae where osteocytes live
Two types of ossification
Intramembranous= messenchyme>bone (skull & clavicle)
Endochondral= messenchyme>hyaline cartilage>bone (all other bones)
3 structural types of joints
Classified by binding material
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Fibrous Joint
(structural)
dense, irregular connective tissue
Sutures, gomophoses, syndmoses
Cartilaginous Joint
(structural)
hyaline or fibrocartilage
syncondrses & symphses
Synovial Joint
(structural)
synovial fluid & articular capsule
Shoulder, ankle, wrist
Synarthrosis joint
(functional)
immovable
sutures, gomophoses, syndemoses
3 functional types of joints
Classified by movement
synarthrosis
amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis joint
(functional)
slightly moveable
pubic symphysis, costal cartilages
