Name the three types of cartilage
Hyaline, Elastic, Fibro
Hyaline Cartilage
Give a description and location
Glassy matrix
Location: costal cartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Give a description, location and function
elastin rich matrix
location: external ear
func: provide elasticity
Fibro Cartilage
Give a description, location and function
Chondrocytes arranged in parallel rows but also housed in lacuni
loc: intervertibral discs, pubic symphysis, menisci of knee joint
func: "pads" absorb shocks
Chondrocyte
cell type that makes up cartilage
Lacuna
a shallow pit/chamber that holds chondrocytes and osteocytes
osteocyte
cell type that makes up osseous tissue
Osteoblast
immature osteoblasts that create new osseous tissue
Osteoclast
cell type that erodes/degrades old osseous tissue
How do osteoclasts work?
covers lacuna and deposits secretions of exo enzymes, which have lots of H+, which increases acidity and erodes the osseous tissue
What are the two types of osseous tissue?
compact and spongy
Osteon
unit of composition of compact bone
Haversian Canal
Central canal through each osteon which houses blood vessels
Lamella
concentric layers that make up an osteon
Canaliculi
small channels that allow the osteocytes to receive nutrients by connecting the osteocytes to each other and the Haversian canal.
Trabeculae
structure of spongy bone in which osteocytes are distributed irregularly
Draw an osteon
Draw the three types of cartilage
What are the two types of nervous tissue?
Neurons and neuroglia
What are the two cell types of neuroglia?
Schwann Cells and microglia
What is the function of neurons?
conduct and generate nerve impulses
What is the function of Schwann cells?
to protect and myelinate the axons of neurons
What are Schwann cells called collectively?
The Myelin Sheath
What is the function of microglia?
phagocytosis (to clean around the neuron)
Draw and lable a diagram of a neuron including neuroglia.
.
What are the 3 types of muscular tissue?
skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Describe skeletal muscle cell
long, striated, multi-nucleated, voluntary
Describe smooth muscle cell
spindle shaped, mono-nucleated, contraction and relaxation are involuntary
Describe cardiac muscle cell
branched, intercalated discs, striated, involuntary control
Draw skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle cells
.
What are the 3 types of cell junctions?
Gap, Adhering and Tight
Gap Junctions
Give description, location and function
proteins in the PM allow gaps/pores b/w cells
loc: intercalated discs
func: cell to cell communication
Adhering Juctions
Give description, location and function
proteins (glycoproteins) glue adjacent cells to each other
Loc: intercalated discs
func: glue cells together
What is another name for Adhering Junctions?
Desmosomes
Tight Junctions
Give description, location and function
form seals b/w adjacent cells
loc: stomach
func: tight junction prevents acidic juices from leaking b/w cells
What are the two categories of glands?
endocrine and exocrine
Describe endocrine glands
secrete hormones; ductless (dump the hormones into circulation)
Examples of endocrine glands
thymus, pancreas, pituitary
Describe exocrine glands
release secretions into ducts
What are the 3 types of exocrine glands?
ecrine, apocrine and holocrine
sudoriferous
sweat glands (ecrine and apocrine)
sebaceous
oil gland (holocrine)
Another name for ecrine glands
merocrine
Describe and draw ecrine gland
watery secretion; small lumen
Describe and draw apocrine gland
thick, milky secretion; large lumen; apocrine sweat gland & mammary gland
Describe and draw holocrine gland
secrete whole cells; oil gland w/o lumen
Name for ET of serosa membrane
Mesothelium
External body membranes
skin (epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis)
Internal body membranes
serosa membrane, mucous membrane, synovial membrane
draw serosa membrane
areolar ct, basement membrane, simple squamous ET, serous fluid, simple squamous ET, BM, areolar CT
Connective tissue component of the mucous membrane
lamina propria
small muscle cells beneath mucous membrane
muscalari mucosa
Draw and label a diagram of mucous membrane
.
mucin
one protein component of protein rich mucus
synovial membrane
lines the synovial cavities of synovial joints; filled with synovial fluid; allows for lubrication and prevents damage to bones that move against each other
Name the five strata of the epidermis in order of superficial to deep
Stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale
stratum corneum
"dead" kerotinocytes
stratum lucidum
only found in thick skin (palms and soles of feet)
stratum granulosum
water proof layer, loaded w/ granules (lipids/proteins)
stratum spinosum
cells held together with adhering juctions
statum basale
highly mitotic
dendritic cells
"langerhans cells"; branched cells that perform phagocytosis in stratum spinosum
tactile cells
"merkel cells"; send signals to CNS via afferent neurons (carry signals towards CNS)
three types of skin cancer
basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma
basal cell carcinoma
stratum basal, raised edges, pearly appearance, rarely metastasizes (least deadly), most common
squamous cell carcinoma
can metastasize if not treated, scaly appearance, can kill you
Malignant melanoma
least common, most deadly, resistant to chemotherapy, ABCD rule of identificaiton
ABCD rule of identification
A: asymmetry
B: irregular border
C: multi-colored
D: diameter >6mm
House dust mite
dermatophagoides
sand flea
tunga pentrans; cause of tungiasis (female burrows in skin of feet and secondary infection develops, usually)
the itch mite
