Organization Of Organs Flashcards
the connective tissue that lies closest to an organ that it surrounds
adventitia
the connective tissue that covers the organ facing the body cavity such as the intestine within the peritoneal cavity
serosa
the surrounding connective tissue that forms a tough enveloping sheet of an organ.
organ sheath
a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place
fascia
examples of fundamentally tubular organs
oral cavity
esophagus
stomach
small and large intestine
rectum
anal canal
nasal passages and trachea
ureter
urethra
bladder
fallopian tube
uterus
vas deferens
vessels of circulatory system
What are the organs built according to the glandular pattern?
salivary glands, pancreas, liver, lungs, kidney
layer adjacent to the lumen of a tubular organ
mucosa
What is the layer of connective tissue immediately beneath the epithelial lining of mucosa?
lamina propria
generally has fewer, thinner collagen fibers and more numerous lymphocytes than deeper layers
lamina propria
comes next as we move deeper, farther away from the lumen
submucosa
essentially loose connective tissue
submucosa
layer of tubular organ that contains the blood vessels, nerves, autonomic ganglia, submucosal glands and nerve plexuses
submucosa
this smooth muscle layer is responsible for peristalsis
muscularis externa
Deeper connective tissue, loosely binding a tubular organ to the surrounding fascia, is called
adventitia
If the organ is adjacent to or suspended within, a body cavity the connective tissue deep to the muscularis externa has a surface of mesothelium called?
serosa
