Q

2 methods of ossification

A
  1. intramembrane- direct, osteoblast make bone

2. endochondral (epiphyseal plate) indirect makes cartilage then turns to bone

Q

homeostasis

A

in balance

a) sensors=receptors (blood glucose)
b) control centers (brain)
c) effectors (responders)
d) negative and positive feedback loops

negative feedback loop

A

have opposite affect, horemone gland will produce more when there is a lack in body

Q

positive feedback loop

A

more associated with disease, childbirth- due to horemore reaction
clotting is another example

Q

endocytosis

A

a cell engulfing a substance

22
Q

milliosmole

A

unit to measure solute concentrations

23
Q

osmotic pressure

A

pressure necessary to oppose osmosis

24
Q

solution

A

mixture of solute and solvent

25
solvent
substancw doing the disolving
26
solute
dissolves into a solution
27
osmosis
water diffusion across cell membrane
28
diffusion
movement from high to low concentration
29
selectively permeable
some substances can cross the cell membrane some cannot
30
cell plasma membrane
it has a phosphlipid bilayer with protein channels scatterd throughout it
31
Na+/k+ pump
classic example of active transport
32
facilited diffusion
passive transport, diffusion but limited to special sites of the membrante (protein channels)
33
active transport train
movement of a substance from low to high concentration requires ATP
34
filtration
passive process where a substance passes through the filter based on sizw
35
excocytosis
a cell discharges a substance from cell
36
phagocytosis
a type of endocytosis that is cell eating
37
features of the osteon
cylinders that run through the bone to give strength
38
membrane (epithelium and connective tissue combine)
1) considered tissue not an organ 2) mucous membrane- lines cavities to provide moisture 3) serous membrane- permeable membrane around lungs and abdominal cavities to avoid friction 4) cutaneous membrane- skin 5) synovial membrane- joints and cavities lubrication bone friction
39
how many bones are in the human skeleton
206
40
Axail skeleton
cranium, spine 80 bones
41
Appendicular
arms and legs and joints- 126
42
Major body cavities
Dorsal (posterior) brain and spine | Ventral (anterior) thoracic, abdominal, pelvic
43
Dorsal Cavity
Cranial- containing brain | Spinal- containing spinal cord
44
Ventral Cavity
Thoratic- chest, heart, lungs, diaphragm dividing Abdominal- liver, stomach diaphragm superior boundary Pelvic- urinary, reproductive surrounded by pelvis
45
4 major types of body tissue
1) Epithelial- avascular, very cellular, skin, digestive lining, respiratory. 2) Muscle- Capable of contraction, skeletal, cardiac, smooth 3) nervous- Brain and nerves 4) Connective- most abondant, framework, fat tendion, bone, cartilage, blood
46
basic characteristics of Cartilage (Chondr)
``` provides support but is not rigid chondrocytes are seperated under scope in the matrix jelly like collegen fibers add strenght elastic fibers add duribility ```
47
Hyaline cartilage
smooth, glossy | most common, joints, nose, throat trechea ribs embry
48
Elastic Cartilage
ear | epiglottis, penna, estachian tube
49
Fibrocartilage
Strongest vertabre and pelvis anchor
50
7 typical parts of long bone
1. Diaphysis- shaft 2, epiphysis- ends of bone covered in cartalige 3. metaphysis- neck 4. articular cartilage (at ends of bone) 5. Periosteum- rich in osteoblast 6. Marrow- medullary cavity 7. endosteum- lining marrow, rich in osteoclast
