functions connects skin to muscle
areolar
smaill crackline sore or break exposing the dermis usually red
athletes foot, cheilosis
fissure

acne pustular psoriasis
pustule
loss of epidermis and dermis within a distinct border
pressure sore basal cell carcinoma
ulcer
flat discolored bed lesion of size
freckle flat mole
macule
solid elevated lesion
nerves warts pimple
papule
is made of calcium and collagen and is strong, hard and not flexible
bone
found on the joint surfaces of bone where it is smooth, helps prevent friction
cartilage
within the cartilage matrix, there are no capillaries within the cartilage matrix so these cells are nourished by diffusion the the matrix a slow process
chondrocyte
is the protein that makes tendons, ligaments and other connective tissure strong. vitiam c plays a role in the synthesis
collagen
there are several kinds some which amy at first seem more different than alike
they include areolar, adipose, firous, and elsstic tissue as well as bone blood and cartilage
connective tissue
ductless gland, group of chemical called hormones which enter capillaries and are circulated throughout the body
exp thyroid gland, adrenal and pituitary
endocrine gland
fibers are elastic
able to return to their origianl leenght or recoil after being streched
elastin
found on surfaces as covering or lining they have no capillaries of their own, they recieve oxygen and nutreients from the blood supply of the connective tisue beneath them
epithelial tissue
have ducts to take secretions away from the gland to the site of its function exp salivary gland
exocrine gland
red bone marrow and lympatic tissue which includes the spleen and lymph nodes
hemopoietic tissue
structual network or solution of nonliving intercellural material
matrix
line the body tracts that have openings to the enviroment
respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
musous membrane
specialized for contraction
muscle tissue
forms the walls of the chambers of the heart
myocardium
functions include sensation, movement, the rapid regulation of body sunctiuon such as heart rate and breathing and the organization of information for learning and memory
nerve tissue
capable of generating and transmitting electrochemical impulses
neurons
transmits impluses acress synapses chemicals are released by anons
neurotransmitter
bone cell
osteocyte
52 to 62% total blood volume
plasma
the production and release of a cellular product with a useful purpose
secretion
sheets of simple squamous epithelium that line some closed body cavities
serous membrane
small space which an electrical impluse cannot cross
synapse
cells or organs that secrete or produce a substance that has a function either at that site or at more distant site
glands
carry oxygen bonded to their hemoglobins
red blood cells
destoy pathogens and provid us with immunity to some diseases
white blood cells

sebaceous gland
the outermost eidermal layer, consists of many layer of dead cells
stratum germinativum
superficial facsia, one of the connective membranes, connects ther dermis to the underlying muscles
subcutaneous tissue
decreases the flow of blood through the dermis and deep heat within the core of the body, this can also occur during stressfull situations it will shunt or redirect blood to more vital organs such as the muscles, heart and brain
vasoconstriction
increases blood flow through the dermis and bings excess heat close to the body surface to be radiated to the enviroment
vasodialition
what are the 2 layers of skin
epidermis and dermis
they originate in the bone marrowand are quite mobile, they are able to phagocytize foeign material such as bacteria that enter the body through breaks in the skin
