test 2 Flashcards
cover body surfaces, line body cavities, form protective sheets around organs, are classified according to tissue types
functions of body membranes
cutaneous membranes, mucous membranes, serous membranes
epithelial tissue
synovial membranes
connective tissue mebrane
are simple organs, also called covering and lining membranes
epithelial membranes
these membranes contain both the epithelial tissue layer and the connective tissue layer
epithelial membranes
dry membrane, outermost protective boundary, consists of the two layers
cutaneous membrane=skin
composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (most superficial)
epidermis
mostly dense (fibrous) connective tissue
dermis
moist membrane, some secrete protective lubricating mucus, line all body cavities that open to the exterior body surface, adapted for absorption or secretion
mucous membranes (mucosa)
consist of two layers of epithelium type depends on site and loose connective tissue (lamina propria)
mucous membranes
line compartments in the ventral body cavity that are closed to the exterior of the body and occur in pairs, separated by serous fluid, with a visceral and parietal layer
serous membrane
lines the organ
visceral
lines the cavity
parietal
cover organs in the abdominal cavity
peritoneum
surround the lungs
pleura
surround the heart
pericardia
loose areolar connective tissue only (no epithelial tissue), line fibrous capsules surrounding joints, line bursae, line tendon sheath, secrete a lubricating fluid to cushion organs moving against each other during muscles activity
synovial membranes
consists of skin and skin appendages
integumentary system
skin appendages
sweat glands, oil glands, hair, nails
insulates and cushion deeper body organs
integumentary system
the integumentary system protects the entire body from
mechanical damage (bumps and cuts)
chemical damage (acid and bases)
thermal damage (heat or cold)
ultraviolet radiation (sunlight)
microbes (bacteria)
water loss
regulates heat loss as controlled by the nervous system, acts as mini excretory system
integumentary system
sweat aids in the loss of urea salts and water, synthesizes vitamin D, and secretions create a protective acid mantle
integumentary system
outer layer, composed of stratified squamous epithelium, most cells are keratinocytes which produces a fibrous protein called keratin
epidermis
makes the epidermis tough
keratinization
connect keratinocytes together
desmosomes
is avascular and composed of layers
epidermis
two kinds of tissue compose the skin
epidermis and dermis
anchors the skin to underlying organs, not technically part of the integumentary system, composed mostly of adipose tissue, and serves as a shock absorber and insulates deeper tissues
subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis)
layers of the skin
strata corneum
strata lucidum
strata granulosome
strata spinosome
strata basale
deepest layer of the epidermis, lies next to the dermis, wavy borderline with the dermis anchors the two together, cells undergoing mitosis, daughter cells are pushed upward to become the more superficial layers
stratum basale
cells become increasingly flatter and more keratinzed
stratum spinosum
very middle layer
stratum granulosum
formed from dead cells of deeper strata, occurs only in thick, hairless skin of the palms of hands and soles of feet
stratum lucidum
outermost layer of epidermis, shingle like dead cells are killed with keratin (protective protein prevents water loss from skin)
stratum corneum
is a pigment produced by melanocytes, melanocytes are mostly in the stratum basale of the epidermis, color is yellow to brown to black
melanin
alert and active immune cells to a threat (bacterial or viral invasion)
epidermal dendritic cells
associated with sensory nerve endings, serve as touch receptors called
merkel cells
connective tissue, underlines the epidermis
dermis
what are the two layers of the dermis
papillary and reticular
