57 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Ectoderm

Brain, skin, nails, epithelium of the nose and teeth

Endoderm

Inner linings of the digestive and respiratory tract

Mesoderm

Muscles, circulatory and excretory systems of the body

Fibronectins and laminins

help connect the ECM components to the cells by binding with integrins in plasma membranes

Hyalurinic acid

Proteoglycan produced in large quantities during wound healing and is an important constituent of joint fluid where it serves as a lubricant

Cell survival and cell proliferation

Require interaction with ECM

Components of ECM/Loose connective tissue

Basal Lamina


Macrophage


Elastic and Collagen fibers


Mast cell


Fibroblasts


Capillary


GAGs

Macrophage

Removal of cell debris

Mast cell

anti-inflammatory response

Fibroblast

cells responsible for the synthesis of ECM, found in large numbers in connective tissue


involved in wound healing

GAGs

Glycosaminoglycans, a major component of joint cartilage, joint fluid and other soft connective tissues

Sweat Glands

Found in axilla (armpit) or perianal area


Located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes into the hair follicle


Apocrine - pinched off and released from apex

Sebaceous glands

On either side of follicle


beneathe sebum

Skin layers

Epidermis


Dermis


Subcutis (hypodermis)


Vein and artery

Dense irregular connective tissue

symphysis pubis joint

Cartilage

Elastic: ear, epiglottis


Hyaline: trachea rings, joint surface of bone, larynx


Fibrocartilage: symphysis pubis joint - shock absorbing qualities




Function: cushion, support


(bone function: protection, support)

Reticular Fibers

Special type of collagen fibers found in spleen and lymph node

Haversian Canal

Blood vessels, nerves, connective tissue

Canaliculi

Small canal allowing for nutrients to travel between lacunae

Loose Fibrous

Under skin, in muscle


nourishment, stretch

Dense fibrous

pulling/pushing forces

Cell body

aka soma


contains nucleus

axon

transmits nerve impulse away from the cell body

dendrites

transmit nerve impulse toward the cell body and axon

myelin

substance rich in lipids and proteins that forms layers around the nerve fibers and acts as insulation

Causes of low platelet count

autoimmune diseases: produce antibodies to platelets


genetic disorders e.. hemophilia


chemotherapy, leukemia, viral infections

Human normal platelet count

150-450,000 platelets/mL blood

Neutrophils

62%


Phagocytosis of bacteria and cellular debris

Eosinophils

2.3%


Break down blood clots and kill parasites

Basophils

0.4%


Synthesize heparin and histamine

Lymphocytes

30%


produce antibodies

Monocytes

5.3%


phagocytosis as macrophage in liver, spleen, lungs, lymph nodes

Dilutions

1.6% saline - shriveled


0.85% saline - isotonic


.43% saline - swelled

Auricles

Earlike appendage of each atrium of the heart (pectinate muscle)

Sympathetic fibers of the heart

arise from segments t2 and t4 of the spinal cord


distributed through the middle cervical and crevice thoracic ganglia and the 1st 4 ganglia of the thoracic sympathetic chain

Electrocardiogram

Graphic record of the heart's electrical activity (conduction impulse)

Chloride Concentration Procedure

Place 10 drops of urine + 1 drop K2CrO4


Add AgNO3 till red-brown




AgNO3 reacts with Cl to precipitate AgCl


Excess AgNo3 reacts with K2CrO4 to form Ag2CrO4

Urine Flow

Vol (mL)/60min

Specific Gravity

Temperature - 15 = A


A/3 *.001 = B


B + Urinometer reading = specific gravity

NaCl Content

NaCl x Urine Vol x (1L/100mL)

All epithelium

Are tight, have little ECM


Have 1 free surface (apical surface)


rests on basement membrane


frequent cell division


avascular

olfactory epithelium

nose

Functions of squamous

diffusion, filtration, secretion

Cuboidal functions

secretion and absorption

Columnar functions

absorption, secretion of mucus, surface area (microvilli)

Nonciliated pseudo stratified epithelium

found lining part of the male urethra and ducts of large glands

ciliated pseudo stratified epithelium

found in trachea, primary bronchi and in most of the upper respiratory tract

Sedimentation rate is increased in

acute general infections, malignancy, arthritis, anemia and also pregnancy

Purple Top

Our blood


EDTA - Anticoagulant

Red Top

0 preservative


coagulated blood

Enzyme which breaks down clots

Plasmin

EDTA

anti-coagulant which binds calcium

phrenicopericardial ligament

pericardium to the sternum and diaphragm

visceral pericardium

covers the surface of the heart

parietal pericardium

covers the inner surface of the parietal sac




diastole

blood flows from right atrium into the right ventricle


heart is relaxed

systole

heart begins to contract


ventricular pressure increases
