Age

Muscle mass

Physical activity

Diet

Sleep

20
Q

What is Tissue: (2)

Study These Flashcards
A

Collection of similar cells that perform particular function.

Function can be recognized by appearances

21

Study These Flashcards
A

Connective
Epithelial
Muscle
Nerve

22
Q

Connective tissue: (3)

Study These Flashcards
A

Supports, protects and binds together other tissue

Bone, cartilage, ligaments etc.

Contains adipose tissue

23
Q

Epithelial tissue: (2)

Study These Flashcards
A

Protective lining on cavities and surface of organs

Skin, mucous membrane, heart lining, lining of digestive/respiratory organs.

24
Q

Muscle Tissue:(1)

Study These Flashcards
A

contracts and mover parts of the body

25
Nerve Tissue: (2)
Carries messages to and from brain coordinating body functions Contains neurons
26
Adipose tissue:(3)
A part of connective tissue Stores energy Gives smoothness and contour to the body
27
Organs: (2)
Collection of tissues into identifiable structure, performing specific functions Organs working together to perform functions are body systems
28
Superficial:
Closer to the surface of the body
29
Deep:
Deeper inside the body
30
What are the 10 body systems
Skeletal Muscular Circulatory Nervous Digestive Excretory Respiratory Endocrine Reproductive Integumentary
31
Skeletal System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Provides framework for the body: Bones and joints Protecting body mechanics and knowing physical landmarks for treatments
32
Muscular System: use, organs, and why know it : (4)
Covers, shapes and supports skeletal tissue Contracts and moves parts of body Contains muscles Important for massage and electrical treatments, as well to prevent injury
33
Circulatory System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Moves blood through body delivering oxygen and nutrients Contains heart and blood vessels and works with lymphatic channels Affects skin health and involves lots of contraindications to services
34
Nervous System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Carries messages coordinating body movement and functions Includes brain, spinal cord, and nerves Need to know location of facial nerves when doing treatment
35
Digestive: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Processes food, absorbs nutrients to the body, removes waste Includes stomach, liver, gall bladder, intestines Good nutrition allows optimal functioning of all body systems
36
Excretory system: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Controls water balance, removes waste from blood and excretes it Includes kidneys, urinary bladder Removes toxic substances that can affect system function
37
Respiratory System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Breathing, supplies oxygen, removes CO2, delivers oxygen to blood Includes lungs, trachea and nasal passage Oxygen needed for optimal cell functioning – affects safety and cleanliness
38
Endocrine System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Controls growth/development, sex, and regular processes of body Includes specialized glands; pituitary gland, adrenal gland, pancreas Hormones secreted effect skin, understanding helps recognize need for referral ; acne, hair growth, oiliness, dryness etc.
39
Reproductive System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Generation of new life , passing genetics Includes uterus, ovaries, penis and testes Hormones and reproductions accompany puberty, menopause, pregnancy etc. Direct influence on skin requiring knowledge
40
Integumentary System: use, organs, and why know it : (3)
Largest organ of the body, Covers and protects internal body structures, 1st defence Includes skin and accessory organs; oil/sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair follicles, nails Learning functions and work of skin and accessory organs is important for success
41
What are the accessory organs to the skin:(4)
Nails Hair Sensory receptors Oil and sweat glands
42
How do 2 or more tissues combine to build an organ:(3)
Cells are grouped to carry out specific function A group of cells that work together cell membranes communicate to form a tissue Organs are formed by the functional grouping of multiple tissues with a distinctive shape
43
What is oxidative stress: (1)
Disturbance in balance between free radicals and antioxidant defenses
44
Signs of oxidative stress:(8)
Loss of collagen and elastin fibres Fine wrinkles loss of skin tone texture changes Trigger of dark spots and discoloration Reduced barrier function of skin More Sensitive less moist
