type of control in cardiac muscle tissue
|
involuntary
|
|
smooth muscle tissue
|
1) found in digestive tract, arteries.
2) shape like a spindle, unstriated 3)uninucleate, nuclei are long and elongated. |
|
Function
|
skeletal- moves the bones
cardiac- pumps blood smooth- move contents within an organ. |
|
Nervous tissue
|
cell body- carries on function for the cell.
dendrite- receives nerve impulses, short and numerous Axon- carries impulses to brain and spinal cord. |
|
Neuron
|
Cellular constituent in nervous system.
Function- senses and responds to stimuli in environment. relays information |
|
Epidermis
|
First skin layer has two cell types: keratinocytes and melanocytes
|
|
Keratinocytes
|
secrete a tough, water insoluble protein.
|
|
Melanocytes
|
produce a brownish black pigment called melanin, which filters out ultraviolet radiation from sunlight.
|
|
Dermis
|
Second layer of skin.
Middle and thickest layer. Contains sweat glands, sebaceous glands and many blood vessels. Contains hair follicles and nerve endings. |
|
Subcutaneous layer
|
The deepest layer of skin.
Insulates body. Provides protective padding. Stores energy here. (Has much adipose (fatty) tissue here) |
|
Aging effects on skin
|
1. loses elasticity because of water loss and fat loss.
2. melanocytes decrease. 3. blood vessels decrease. |
|
Functions of skin
|
1) barrier to moisture loss
2) protection |
|
Types of skeletons
|
1) hydrostatic- muscles work
2) endoskeleton- rigid internal body 3)exoskeleton- rigid external body parts |
|
Skeletal system
|
Appendicular- consists of bones of the appendages and the bones that link the appendages to the axial skeleton
|
|
Pectoral Girdle contains:
|
1) clavicle (collar bone)
2) scapula (shoulder blade) |
|
Bones coming off pectoral girdle
|
a) humerous-funny bone
b) radius c) ulna (looks like monkey wrench) d)carpals (wrist) e) metacarpals (main hand) f) phalanges (fingers) |
|
Pelvic Girdle
|
-formed by the coxal bones,
which consists of three bones: 1) ileum-upper portion 2)ishium-central portion 3)pubis- bottom portion |
|
Bones coming off pelvic girdle
|
femur
petella tibia (big bone in lower leg) fibula- small bone in lower leg tarsal- ankle metatarsal-main part of foot phalanges |
|
axial skeleton
|
skull-protects brain
vertebral column-protects spinal cord ribs and sternum-protects heart and lungs |
|
Ball and socket joint
|
allows movement in all directions (shoulder, hip)
|
|
Hinge joints
|
1) one way movement (fingers and toes)
|
|
Pivot Joints
|
allow bones to rotate, provide ease of manipulation. (wrists and hands)
|
|
yellow bone marrow
|
stores fat
|
|
spongy bone
|
1. found in the end of the bone
2. honeycomb like with small cavities 3.contains red bone marrow |
|
Skeletal disorders
|
1. Arthiritis- inflammation of joiints
2. osteoarthritis-joints become stiff, cartilidge is worn. 3. rheumatoid-autoimmune disease 4. Osteoporosis- bones become thinner. |
|
Prevention for skeletal disorders
|
1) sufficient calcium intake
2) weight bearing excersize 3) don't smoke |
|
Skeletal Muscles
|
attached to skeleton and produces body movements.
|
|
Trapezius
|
upper portion of back, triangular
elevates shoulder. |
|
Latissimus Dorsi
|
lower portion of back
help with deep inspirations |
|
Rectus Abdominus
|
in the abs, usage is heavy during sit ups.
|
|
Deltoid
|
forms rounded muscular area over the shoulder.
abducts the shoulder joint. |
|
External obliques
|
side of the trunk
supports abdominal muscles. |
|
gastrocnemius
|
calves
flexes knees and foot. |
