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 |
|
