40
Pluripotential cells, The interactions that lead to a change in the course of development of at least one of theinteractants are called...
Inductions
41
what is the normal range of skin pH in healthy people?
4 to 6.5
42
what helps to maintain a normal skin flora by serving as a protective barrier against bacterial and fungal infections
acid mantle
43
Sterogenesis
ability to recognize an object by touch
44
pacinian receptors
deep pressure & vibrational sensation
45
Meissner's corpuscles
responsible for sensing light touch
46
superficial (acute) pain
usually transmitted by very rapid nerve impulses by A-Delta fibers and tends to be sharp but ceases when the pain stimulus stops
47
deep (chronic) pain
pain impulses are transmitted slowly by C fibers
48
which three sources does blood supply the skin?
Direct cutaneous, musculocutaneous, and fasciocutaneous systems
49
what is the role of lymphoid tissue?
it is essential for adaptive immunity
50
dermis
dense layer of interlacing collagen and elastic fibers
51
reticular dermis
composed of collagen bundles that anchor the skin to subcutaneous tissue
52
subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis)
function is to promote an ongoing blood supply, provides a cushion between skin layers, muscles, and bones. Also insulates the body.
53
the superficial fascia is connected to the skin by...
fibrous septa (skin ligaments)
54
retinaculum cutis superficialis
attaches the superficial fascia to the skin, perpendicular
55
retinaculum cutis profundus
attaches the superficial fascia to the deep fascia, more oblique direction
56
sebaceous glands
produce sebum, a key component of the epidermal barrier
57
superficial burn (sunburn)
damage is limited to the epidermis
58
partial-thickness burn
epidermis and superficial dermis are damaged with blistering
59
Full-thickness burn
the entire thickness of the skin is damaged and often the subcutaneous tissue, sensory endings are destroyed
60
4th-degree burn
damage extends through the entire thickness of the skin into underlying fascia, muscle, or bone.
61
wound healing is often considered in four overlapping temporal phases:
hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling
62
hemostasis
initiates fibrin-fibronectin clot formation
63
inflammation
neutrophils and monocytes are recruited to wound sites within minutes of injury by a variety of chemotactic signals
64
proliferation
involves re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation which takes place more or less simultaneously
65
remodeling
plays key role in wound contraction, thought to generate forces that pull normal dermal and adipose tissue into the wound defect.
66
epimysium
surrounds entire muscle belly
67
perimysium
divides muscles into fascicles
68
endomysium
surrounds individual muscle fibers
69
peripheral nerve
epineurium - encloses nerve trunk perineurium - separates fascia endoneurium - separates axons
70
type 1 collagen
most prevalent type of collagen and constitutes about 90% of body collagen (gives connective tissues high tensile strength)
71
type 2 collagen
main constituent of fibrillary component of cartilage
72
loose connective tissue
creates a gliding surface between two muscles and permits their independent contraction
73
white adipose tissue function
primary function is to store energy and act as a cushion
74
brown adipose tissue function
thermogenesis
75
Ruffini"s Nerve Endings
embedded in the fascial tissue allowing them to perceive the stretching of the superficial fasica
76
pacinian corpuscles
sensitive to compression
77
aponeurotic fascia
consists of a well-defined fibrous sheath, able to transmit muscular forces over a distance
78
what is hyaluranan
lubricant that allows normal gliding of joint and connective tissues
79
where is HA present in skeletal muscles?
epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
80
retinacula
the most highly innervated fascial tissues, can sense bone movement and muscular contraction
81
epimysial fascia
thinner than aponeurotic fasciae and their range of action is more localized (important feature is their tight adherence to underlying muscles)
82
what key role does epimysial fascia play?
proprioception and peripheral motor coordination due to its close relationship with muscle spindles
83
normal value of muscle pH
7.4
84
what is the rectus sheath
region where various muscular forces converge
85
role of vertebral column
protects spinal cord and spinal nerves, supports the weight of the body superior to the pelvis, and plays an important role in posture and locomotion
86
occipitoatlantal (O-1) Joint
permits nodding of the head, flexion and extension
87
atlantoaxial joint
rotates the head
88
anterior longitudinal ligament
prevents hyperextension of the vertebral column, the only ligament that limits extension
89
posterior longitudinal ligament
helps prevent or redirect posterior herniation of the nucleus pulposus
90
ligamenta flava
flavus= yellow, elastic, limit abrupt flexion
91
interspinous ligaments
weak, membranous
92
supraspinous ligaments
strong, fibrous
93
intertransverse ligaments
connect adjacent transverse processes
94
joints of the vertebral bodies are...

An outer fibrous part, composed of concentric lamellae of fibrocartilage
97
Nucleus pulposus
a gelatinous central mass
98
the range of movement of the vertebral column is limited by the...
shape and orientation of the zygapophysial joints
99
where is blood oxygenated in fetal circulation?
placenta
