organ
|
two or more kinds of tissue grouped tog. & performing specialized functions
|
|
three epithelial membrane types
|
mucous
serous cutaneous (skin) |
|
where are mucous membranes found?
|
lining all structures that open to outside of the body
ex: gastrointestinal, respiratory, & reproductive tracts |
|
layer of smooth muscle associated with mucous membranes
|
muscularis mucosae
|
|
serous membranes are found where?
|
lining body cavities that do NOT open to the exterior
ex: lining thorax, abdomen, covering organs |
|
serous fluid
|
secreted by serous membranes to lubricate organs
|
|
examples of serous membranes (3)
|
pleura, pericardium, peritoneum
|
|
synovial membranes
|
line freely movable joints
no epithelium; consist of fibrous connective tissue overlying loose connective tissue and fat |
|
cutaneous membrane
|
skin, hair, nails
|
|
five functions of skin
|
temp regulation
protection sensation excretion make vitamin D |
|
cholecalciferol
|
-vitamin D3
-made in skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol is exposed to UV light then converted to calcitriol |
|
3 layers of skin
|
epidermis
dermis subcutaneous |
|
layers of epidermis
|
stratum corneum
stratum granulosum stratum spinosum stratum basale (Come get some bacon!) |
|
stratum spinosum structure
|
keratin filaments are in desmosome junctions between cells
|
|
psoriasis
|
basal cell proliferation is accelerated, epidermis thickens, cells can't keratinize & are shed within a week
|
|
normal period of time for cells from basal layer to reach stratum corneum & be shed
|
2-4 weeks
|
|
dermis structure
|
dense, irregularly arranged connective tissue w/ bundles of collagenous & elastic fibers
|
|
dermal papillae
|
humps of dermis that project into epidermis
|
|
dermis contains?
|
blood vessels, smooth muscle fibers, nerve fibers, hair follicles, & glands
|
|
subcutaneous layer
|
loose connective tissue & adipose tissue; contains nerve fibers & blood vessels
|
|
arrector pili
|
smooth muscle by hair follicle; causes goosebumps
|
|
3 types of glands associated with skin
|
sebaceous
sweat (sudoriferous) ceruminous |
|
type of glands associated with hair follicles
|
holocrine- specifically sebaceous
|
|
merocrine glands in the skin are also called?
|
eccrine sweat glands
|
|
apocrine sweat glands found where?
|
axilla, pubic region, & areolae
(secretions have odor -> deodorant) |
|
apocrine ducts open where?
|
into hair follicles
|
|
eccrine sweat glands are present where?
|
everywhere (except lips, nails, glans penis & clitoris, labia minora, & eardrums)
|
|
where are eccrine sweat glands most numerous?
|
palms of hands & soles of feet
|
|
sweat from eccrine glands is a dilute solution of what?
|
NaCl
lactic acid nitogenous compounds (urea, ammonia, amino acids, uric acid) |
|
ceruminous glands
|
modified sweat glands found in external ear canal; together with sebaceous glands forms ear wax
|
|
nail consists of?
|
plate, bed, & lunula where cells undergo keratinization
|
|
which layers of skin obtain oxygen directly from air?
|
epidermis & some dermis
|
|
how is heat lost through skin?
|
conduction (to air)
convection (to breeze) radiation (to walls, ceilings) evaporation (through sweat) |
|
how does body cool down?
|
blood vessels dilate - heat loss can increase 8 times
|
|
how does body warm up?
|
constricts blood vessels, shivering
|
|
what is non-shivering thermogenesis?
|
oxidative phosphorylation makes heat instead of ATP
|
|
what tissue is capable of non-shivering thermogenesis?
|
brown adipose tissue
|
|
superficial wounds
|
extend as far as the dermis
|
|
deep wounds
|
extend into dermis and subcutaneous layers
|
|
phase response after deep wound
|
inflammatory (blood clot, kill bacteria)
migratory (scab) proliferative maturation (scar) |
|
why can large burns be life-threatening?
|
huge loss of body fluid
|
|
hypovolemia
|
extensive loss of body fluid
|
|
circulatory shock
|
consequence of hypovolemia; can lead to kidney & heart failure
|
|
factors affecting seriousness of a burn
|
depth
surface area region affected age general health |
|
first degree burns
|
involves surface epidermis; redness but no blistering
|
|
second degree burns
|
involves epidermis & dermis; blistering
