|
epithelial
|
|
Skin is a type of _____ tissue.
|
epithelial
|
|
_______ tissue provide support & protection, fill up spaces in the body & attach organs to each other
|
connective tissue
|
|
Name 4 main types of tissue
|
epithelial
connective muscular nervous |
|
_____ tissues are responsible for movement
|
muscular
|
|
______ tissue has the ability to carry messages from one part of the body to another, coordinating various vital functions.
|
nervous
|
|
Name 5 types of epithelial tissue
|
simple squamous
simple cuboidal simple columnar pseudostratified ciliated columnar stratified squamous |
|
one layer of cells attached to the basement membrane
|
simple
|
|
consisting of 2 or more layers of cells
|
stratified
|
|
scale like
|
squamous
|
|
cube like
|
cuboidal
|
|
column shaped
|
columnar
|
|
simple columnar epithelium (one layer of cells) but because its cells vary in height & the nuclie lie at different levels above the basement membrane, it gives the false appearance of being stratified; often ciliated
|
pseudostratified epithelium
|
|
rather peculiar stratified squamous epithelium from of rounded or "plum" cells with the ability to slide over one another to allow the organ to be stretched
|
tranitional epithelium
|
|
the urinary system (Bladder) has what type of cells
|
transitional epithelium
|
|
If tissue is avascular what does it mean?
|
does not have its own blood supply
|
|
Integumentary System function
|
*protects deeper organs from mechanical, chemical, & bacterial injury and desiccation (drying out)
*excretes salts & urea *aids in regulation of body temperature *produces vitamin D |
|
Integumentary System Organs
|
epidermal & dermal regions; cutaneous sense organs & glands; skin
|
|
Skeletal System Function
|
*body support & protection of internal organs
*provides levers for muscular action *cavities provide a site for blood cell formation |
|
Skeletal System Organs
|
bones, cartilages, tendons, ligaments,& joints
|
|
Muscular System Function
|
*primary function is to contract or shorten; in doing so, skeletal muscles allow locomotion (running/walking), grasping & manipulation of the environment, & facial expressions
*generates heat |
|
Muscular System Organs
|
muslces attach to the skeleton
|
|
Nervous System Function
|
*allows body to detect changes in its internal & external environment & to respond to such information by activating appropriate uslces or glands
*helps maintain homeostasis of the body via rapid transmission of electrical signals |
|
Nervous System Organs
|
brain, spinal cord, nerves, & sensory receptors
|
|
Endocrine System Function
|
*helps maintain body homeostasis, promotes growth & development; produces chemical "messengers" (hormones) that travel in the blood to exert their effect(s) on various "target organs" of the body
|
|
Endocrine System Organs
|
pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal & pineal glands; ovaries, testes & pancreas
|
|
Cardiovascular System Function
|
*Primary a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, ions, hormones, & other substances to & from the tissue cells where exhanges are made; blood is propelled trhough the blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart
*antibodies & other proteins molecules in the blood act to protect the body |
|
Cardiovascular System Organs
|
Heart, blood vessels & blood
|
|
Lymphatic/Immunity System Function
|
*picks up fluid leaked from the blood vessels & returns it to the blood
*cleanses the blood of pathogens & other debris *houses lymphocytes that act via the immune response to protect the body from foreign susbtances (antigens) |
|
Lymphatic/Immunity System Organs
|
lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, & scattered collections of lymphoid tissue
|
|
Respiratory System Function
|
*keeps the blood continuously suppliled with oxygen while removing carbon dioxide
*contributes to the acid-base balance of the blood via its carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system |
|
Respiratory System Organs
|
nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, & lungs
|
|
Digestive System Function
|
*breaks down ingested foods to minute particles, which can be absorbed into the blood for delivery to the body cells
*undigested residue removed from the body as feces |
|
Digestive System Organs
|
oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small & large intestines, & accessory structures (teeth, salivary glands, liver & pancreas)
|
|
Urinary System Function
|
*rids the body of nitrogen-containing wastes (urea, uric acid, & ammonia) which result from the breakdown of proteins & nucleic acids by body cells
|
|
Urinary System Organs
|
kidneys, ureters, bladder & urethra
|
|
Reproductive System Function
|
*(male)provides germ cells (sperm) for perpetuation of the speicies
*(female)provides germ cells (eggs); the female uterus houses the developing fetus until birth; mammary glands provide nutrients for the infant |
|
Reproductive System Organs
|
Male: testes, prostate gland, scrotum, penis, & duct system, which carries sperm to the body exterior
|
