adduction
mannus is ______ in default anatomical position
supinated
contraction of __________ leads to lung expansion, decreased pressure and air enters lung
diaphragm
decrease angle of joint via
flexion
cells interact to form _________, different _____ form _________ and _____________
tissues, tissues, organs, organ systems
Four basic tissue types
1) Epithelia
2) Connective tissue
3) Muscle
4) Nerve
barriers, covers exposed body surfaces, lines hollow organs, body cavities and ducts of glands, forms
epithelial tissue
epithelia forms tubes to carry secretions
ducts
tissue type contains no blood vessels
epithelial
links tissue and organs, provides structures and metabolic support, stores energy (contains all fat cells), forms the immune system
connective tissue
contains blood vessels
connective tissue
specialized for contraction, generates force to produce motion of body parts, move substances through blood vessels and hollow organs, maintains body temp, long cells
muscle tissue
receives, processes and integrates signals from within the body and from external environment, generates and transmits impulse that control and integrate the various functions of the body
nervous
continuous, avascular, rest on basal membrane, little ECM, secretes connective tissue
epithelia tissue
epithelia named according to _____ and ______
number of cells, shape of outermost cell layer
single layer of flat cells, lines body cavities, lines heart and blood vessels, lines site of gas exchange in the lungs
single squamous epithelium
layered cells, outermost layer squamous, forms outer layer of skin, lines mouth, esophagus, vagina, keratin to withstand shearing force
stratified squamous epithelium
single layer of cells, cell height = cell width, found in glands and forms ducts of glands, forms portions of kidney
simple cuboidal epithelium
single layer of cells, cells taller than they are wide, lines digestive tract, fallopian tubes, and gallbladder
simple columnar epithelium
two to three layers of cells, outermost layer of cells of equal height and width, lines large ducts
stratified cuboidal epithelium
multiple layers of cells, height of outer layer of cells greater than width, found only in large ducts
statified columnar epithelium
nucleir appear at multiple levels, all cells touch basal lamina, but may not reach luminal surface, found in respiratory system, and male reproductive tract
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
morph shape, multiple layer of cells, outermost cells large and dome-shaped, found only in urinary tract for stretching
transitional epithelium
composed of epithelial cells, form by growth of epithelial cells into underlying connective tissue
glands
release secretions through ducts onto epithelial surfaces
exocrine glands
lack ducts and secrete hormones into blood
endocrine glands
three mechanisms of glandular secretion
1) merocrine
2) apocrine
3) holocrine
secretion by normal exocytosis (protein trafficking and transport)
merocrine
apical surface pinched off (mammary glands)
apocrine
entire cell released
holocrine
dense, irregular connective tissue ring that deepens the glenoid cavity, attachment site for glenohumeral ligaments and biceps brachium
glenoid labrum
reduce friction where large muscles and tendons pass across the joint capsule, small fluid-filled pockets in connective tissue
