What are the 6 important life processes?
1) Metabolism
2) Responsiveness
3) Movement
4) Growth
5) Differentiation (of cells)
6) Reproduction
Components of a feedback system (3)?
1) Receptor
2) Control center
3) Effector
Negative Feedback
Reverses a change in a controlled condition


Ex: blood pressure
Positive Feedback
Strengthens or reinforces a change in one of the body's controlled conditions. It must be shut off externally, or it'll runaway.

Ex: childbirth
What are the 4 body cavities?
1) Cranial

2) Vertebral

3) Thoracic: pleural, pericardial, mediastinum

4) Abdominopelvic: abdominal, pelvic
What are the 4 types of body tissues?
1) Epithelial
2) Connective
3) Muscular
4) Nervous
1) Epithelial: covers surfaces, lines hollow cavities, forms glands

2) Connective: protects and supports, binds organs, stores as fat, provides immunity

3) Muscular: physical force for movement and heat

4) Nervous: detects changes in environment (in/external), activates muscle contract, gland secretion
What are the 3 primary germ layers and what tissues do they form?
1) Endoderm: epithelial
2) Ectoderm: epithelial & nervous
3) Mesoderm: epithelial, connective, muscle
What are the 5 cell junctions?
1) Tight
2) Gap
3) Adherens
4) Desmosomes
5) Hemidesmosomes
1) Tight: closed door (stomach lining, urinary bladder)

2) Gap: connexon tunnels (nerves, muscles, embryos)

3) Adherens (Anchoring): contains plaque, cadherins join the cells. RESISTS SEPARATION

4) Desmosomes: like adheren junction but plaque isn't attached to microfilaments but attached to intermediate filaments (keratin). Prevents separation under tension (skin, heart cells). CELL TO CELL

5) Hemidesmosomes: like desmosomes but don't link adjacent cells. Instead of cadherins, the integrins are attaching to the intermediate filaments and also attaches to basement membrane's laminin. CELL TO BASAL MEMBRANE
The two types of epithelial tissue are?
1) Covering/lining epithelium

2) Glandular epithelium
Covering/lining epithelium classification by layers?
1) Covering/Lining
-Simple: diffusion, absorb, filter, secrete, osmosis. SINGLE LAYER


-Pseudostratified: may have cilia, goblet cells for secretion. UNEVEN SINGLE LAYER


-Stratified: protects. MULTIPLE LAYERS
Covering/lining epithelium classification by cell shape?
-Squamous: rapid passage. FLAT TILES

-Cuboidal: secretion and absorption. CUBE OR HEXAGONAL

-Columnar: protects, secrete/absorbs a lot. RECTANGULAr

-Transitional: stretching and collapsing. FLAT TO CUBOIDAL
Two classifications of glandular epithelium?
1) Endocrine: enters the interstitial fluidand difffuses directly into bloodstream without flowing through duct (pituitary, thyroid, adrenal)

2) Exocrine: secrete their products into duct and empty on surface of skin or organ (sweat, mucous, saliva -- pancreas, ovaries)
Structural classifications of glandular epithelium?
Unicellular vs. Multicellular

Simple:
-Tubular: large intestine glands
-Branched Tubular: gastric glands
-Coiled tubular: sweat
-Acinar (rounded): penile urethra glands
-Branched acinar: sebaceous glands


Compound:
-Tubular: bulbourethral glands
-Acinar: mammary
-Tubuloacinar: acinar glands of pancreas
Functional classifications of glandular epithelium (3)?
1) Merocrine
2) Apocrine
3) Holocrine
1) Merocrine: vesicle is secreted (exorcrine glands of body)

2) Apocrine: pinching off (mammary glands, sweat glands)

3) Holocrine: stores then self-explodes (sebaceous gland)
What are the two components of connective tissue?
1) Extracellular matrix

2) Cells
1) ECM consists of protein fibers and ground substance

2) Cells - many types
-Fibroblasts: secretes components of ECM
-Adipocytes: stores triglycerides
-Mast cells: produce histamine which dilates BV, ingests and kills bacteria
-WBC: migrates from blood to CT, fights parasitic infection/allergies
-Macrophages: eats bacteria/cellular debris (can be fixed or wandering)
-Plasma cells: develops from B lymphocytes, secrete antibodies that attack/neutralize foreign substances in the body
What are the two components of ECM?

How repairable are epithelial tissue? Connective? Muscular? Nervous?
Epithelial = very repairable. Must be able to repair from external wear and tear

CT= good capacity, bone has ample blood supply. Cartilage is less repairable

Muscular= poor capacity, no satellite cells and fibers do not undergo mitosis

Nervous: poorest!
