Intro to Human Anatomy part 2 Flashcards
(135 cards)
Integument
Skin
Also called cutous , derma
Covers everywhere except surface of eye
Epidermis
- 3 layers on the outside of the skin
- This is an epithelium
- Avascular - no blood supply ; cells have to get their supply from deeper structures
- Full of a protein called keratin
Keratin
Water proof
Function of epidermis
To control water and prevent water loss
So cant absorb water through skin b/c its waterproof and cannot absorb water
Dermis
Connective tissue layer
Vascular
Holds epidermis in place
Deep to epidermis
Hypoderm
Deep to dermis Also called telasubcutneous , subcutaneous Fatty layer Some may have more than others Not really strong
Pinoculus adiposus
Apron of fat
It’s around belly
Appendages
Structures associated with skin - hair, nail, glands [oil, sweat, riferous, mamallary gland, lectiferous glands]
Functions of skin
Forms a barrier [outside out, inside in] Immunity [antigen presenting structures] Homeostasis Sensory - touch Secretion Excretion - sweat
BISHES- acronym
How does skin help with homeostasis?
Prevents water loss
Heat control [temp control]
Vascular layers of skin
Hypodermis and dermis
Can vasodilate and vasoconstrict
Cleavage lines
Arrangement of tissues in the skin
Lines of lung
If cut across - more scaring
If cut parallel - less scaring , more healing
Fasciae
Connective tissue deep to integument
Superficial fasciae
Subcutaneous tissue
Deep fascia
What the hypoderm is attached to
Very strong
Continuous sheet through the entire body except for face or peri-anal region [close to perinium]
Skin of palm of hand
Has a lot cutaneous ligaments, but they are really short
Cutaneous ligaments
They run from the deep fascia through adipose layer and attach to dermis. [this anchors skin to deep fasica] - strong dense.
Back of hand skin
Few cutaneous ligaments and they are a lot longer
So they are more mobile as a result
Bursa
Hollow sacks, they have a the same lining as found in joints called the synovial membrane
- makes slippery
Put between structures that Will move; decrease friction between structures (ie. Ligament and bone, or bone and bone, etc)
Bursitis
Swells up and gets puffy , gets extra fluid inside the sacks
Skeletal system
Bones and cartilage
2 regions of skeletal system
Axial : Skull, neck, chest, vertebral column, ribs and sternum
Appendicular- everything else [shoulder girdle - clavicle and scapula and pelvic girdle - hip bones]
Cartilage
Not as rigid as bone
Slippery/ slidey
Avascular
Good surface for joints
Bone
Hard ridged structure
2 types: compact and spongy
Each bone is its own organ Because it has its bone tissue and marrow tissue
