closest to surface of digestive organsbehind/outside peritoneal cavity
parietal peritoneumorbital cavity
membrane that lines body wall
retroperitoneal
behind/outside body wall
orbital cavity
the space the eye takes up
middle ear cavity
surface between external and internal ear
CT/CAT scan
computerized axial tomography, constructs a three dimensional structure of the body
MRI
magnetic resonance imaging, uses magnetic field and radio waves to portray subtle structural differences
inspection
includes examining body proportions, posture, and patterns of movement. largest amount of info can be gained
percussion
tapping the fingers r hand to determine density of underlying tissues
auscultation
listening to body sounds, usually using a stethoscope
simple squamous epithelia
covers body surfaces (in and outside)
function: reduces friction, controls vessel permeability, performs absorption and secretion
stratified squamous epthelai
(keratinized/non-keratinized) surface of skin, lining of mouth, and anus function: provides physical protection from abrasions, pathogens, and chemical attack
simple cuboidal epithelia
from portions of kidney tubules, also in some glands and ducts
function: limited protection, secretion, absorption
stratified cuboidal epithelia
from lining of some ducts, very rare
function: better protection, secretion, absorption
transitional epithelia
from urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and ureters
function: permits expansion and recoil after stretching
simple columnar epithelia
stomach, intestinal lining and many excretory ducts
function: protection, secretion, and absorption
pseudostratified columnar epithelia
trachea, nasopharynx, bronchi, has celia
function: protection, secretion
stratified columnar epithelia
ducts of salivary glands, pharynx, epiglottis, anus, mammary duts, urethra
function: protection
fibroblasts
most abundant, star shaped, large, produce fibers
fixed macrophages
irregularly shaped and utilized to engulf invaders and damaged cells
adipocytes
fat cells, number varies between types of connective tissues
mesenchymal cells
stem cells, respond to local injury or infection by dividing to produce new cells
melanocytes
produce melanin, give tissues a dark color and differ in number in individuals
free macrophages
macrophages that circulate throughout connective tissue, when within blood they're called monocytes
mast cells
small, mobile cells near blood vessels, secrete histamine and heparin to stimulate local inflammation in response to injury/infection
lymphocytes
migrate throughout body and increase in numbe where tissue damage occurs, can develope into plasma cells
microphages
mirgrate and respond to chemicals released by macrophages and mast cells. Also called phagocytic
collagen fibers
relatively thick, thread-like, composed of collagen and are in long parallel bundles. Can withstand much force when pulled along axis. don't stain well
elastic fibers
thinner and form complex networks, branched and return to regular lenght after stretching
reticular fibers
highly branched and delicate supporting networks, able to resist forces applied from many directions
loose connective tissue
usually surround organs and fill spaces, used for cushioning
areolar connective tissue
found below epithelium in most parts of body, made of mostly fibroblasts with elastic and collagen fibers
reticular connective tissue
matriz is only reticular fibers, found in bone marrow, spleen, liver, and lymph nodes (looks like marble)
adipose connective tissue
modified fibroblasts which store fat and become swollen, pushing the nucleus to the edge of cell, throughout body
dense regular connective tissue
thickly packed collagenous fibers in a regular, parallel arrangement. found in tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, and covering skeletal muscle
dense irregular connective tissue
collagenous fibers irregularly arranged. Found in capsules of organs and joints, nerve and muscle sheaths, makes up dermis
elastic connective tissue
in walls of aorta and other blood vessels, vocal cords,
hyaline cartilage
closely packed collagen fibers, clear glassy appearance, tough but flexible
fibrocartilage
collagen fibers anre densely packed and regularly arranged. found in intervertebral discs, make up menisci of knee joint, very tought and durable
elastic cartilage
elastic fibers are arranged less densely and irregualr. Found in pinna, epiglottis, auditory canal, and tip of nose
sebacceous glands
inhibits bacterial growth, lubrication to hair and skin follicles
apocrine
produces odorous secretion, usually bigger
eccrine
watery secretion, found almost everywhere in body
vellus
very fine hair, peach fuzz, covers body
terminal (hair)
a lot heavier and darker hair (head, eyebrows, lashes)
intermediate
inbetween vellus and terminal (arms, legs)
pacinian corpuscle
sense deep pressure, vibrating, pulsating stimuli
