Microvilli (term)
"little shaggy hairs"
long thin cells that are used for absorption or secretion
usually in gut

connective tissue matrix
extracellular
ground substance and fibers

1) brain
2) spinal cord
3) peripheral nerves
Nerve tissue electrical types (2)
conductive -> neurons
non conductive -> everything else -> neurolgia
Neurolgia (term)
nervous system tissue
non conductive
nourishes insulates and protects neurons
Lesion (term)
any injury wound or infection that affects tissue over an area of a definite size as opposed to being widely spread out throughout the body
integumentary system
skin and attachments (nails hair glands)
Exocrine glands (term)
glands that secrete out (exo)
have a duct
(versus endocrine glands)
Endocrine glands (term)
glands that secrete inward (endo)
have no duct

1) epidermis
2) dermis
3) hypodermis
(picture page 102 of text)
skin function
protects
regulates temperature
Keratinocytes (term)
cells in the epidermis layer of skin
most abundant
produce keratine for protection (protein)
live at base of epidermis and migrate/die towards surface
Melanocytes (term)
cells in epidermis that make melanin
give skin its color
protect from UV
Melanoma (term)
skin cancer
Dermis layers (2)
1) papillary - sensory layer
2) reticular - collagen fibers -> stretchy layer
Striae (term)
"stretch marks"
tearing of collagen fibers
Hypodermis
== subcutaneous layer
base layer of skin
fat tissue
hair
is keratine
subungual hematoma (disorder)
blood under the nail
glands in the skin (2)
