organization of living mater
chemical unit, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
4 principle types of tissue in the body
epithelium, connective tissue, muscle, and nervous tissue
distribution of simple epithelia tissues:
(1) simple squamous: endothelium (lining of vessels) and mesothelium (lining organs to reduce friction). (2) simple cuboidal: lining glands. (3) simple columnar- lining of digestive tract. (4) pseudostratified columnar- lungs, respiratory pathways
Distribution of Stratified Epithelium
(1) Stratified Squamous- skin, epidermis. (2) Stratified Columnar- not very common, scattered places, lining of reproductive pathways, ducts of glands. (3) Transitional epithelium- lining of urinary system.
4 types of connective tissue
(1) Connective Tissue Proper (2) Cartilage (3) Bone (4) Blood
3 types of Connective Tissue Proper cells
(1) Mesenchymal Cells- can differentiate into fibroblasts, adipose cells, and smooth muscle around blood vessels. (2) Fibrocyte- main cells of connective tissue proper. produce collagen and elastin fibers. (3) Adipose cells- found everywhere as groups of cells storing energy
Wandering Cells
Macrophages, Mast cells, Lymphocytes, and Plasma cells
Collagen facts
17,000 lbs/sq.in., comprises 30% of all proteins in the body, produced by fibrocytes.
Chondrocytes: list cells, interfibrillar substance, and fibers
chondrocytes- more active when they are chondroblasts, they make the matrix which is 90-99% of cartilage volume. Proteoglygans and proteins attract water which is the most abundant substance in cartilage. H2O allows for cushioning and diffusion of nutrients as well. Collagen and Elastin are the fibers in the proteoglycan maze.
3 types of cartilage with facts about them
(1) Hyaline Cartilage- most common type in the body, formse entire embryonic skeleton, as well as nose, ear, ant. part of ribs, within walls of larynx and trachea, and surface of moveable joints. (2) Fibrocartilage- thicker collagen fibers than hyaline. Very dense and strong. Forms intervertebral disks. Shock absorbs in numerous joints. Little if any interfibrillar substance. (3) Elastic Cartilage- found in external ear flap and comprises epiglottis.
Functions of Integumentary System
(1) Protection (2) Sensory Perception (3) Excretion (4) Thermoregulation and ater balance (5) Fat metabolism (6) Exchange surface with environment (7) site for production of vitamin D and various growth factors (8) Sociosexual communication and identification
5 Layers of Epidermis and their function
(1) Stratum basale- lingl layer of columnar to cuboidal cells that contact basal lamina. It consists mainly of stem cells that divide to form keratinocytes which produce keratin fibers. Melanocytes are in this layer as well which produce melanin and have long cytoplasmic branches. (2) Stratum Spinosum- contains mature keratinocytes in a flattened polyhedral form. (3) Stratum Granulosum- 3-5 layers of flattened cells. cell membrane vacuoles discharge lipids into the intercellular spaces. function as waterproofing layer because of lipids. (4) Stratum Lucidum- only in palms and soles of feet. closely resembles stratum corneum. (5) Stratum Corneum- from a few to 50 flattened cells. between the layers is a lipid like glue from the previous layers. protects from scratching.
2 Layers of the Dermis and their function
(1) Stratum Papillare- looping blood vessels and nerve endings. sense touch, allows for better binding with epidermis, forms fingerprints (friction ridges). (2) Stratum Reticulare- extensive network of collagen fibers, thicker than papillary layer, fibers are parallel with scattered elastic fibers.
explain hypodermis
contains adipose or loose connective tissue. Contains Fatty layer and Fibrous layer (paper thin sheet of connective tissue between adipose cells.
structure of a hair follicle
made of stratified squamous epithelium (extension of epidermis). surrounds hair and is full of keratinocytes. Sometimes deep in hypodermis sometimes only barely entering the dermis.
Structure of Hair
(1) Medulla- tightly packed dead cells of pure protein in the very center of the hair. (2) Cortex- surrounds medulla, is the majority of the hair with less tightly packed dead cells. (3) Cuticle- thin layer of flat keratinized cells of most recently dead cells. Also, in the hair follicle, keratinocytes divide and push away from bottom of follicle to top.
How does the hair stand up?
Arrector Pili Muscles- small bundle of smooth muscle attached to fibrous sheath and attach to papillary layer, paralleling the oblique angle of the hair. NOT found in facial, axillary, pubic, eyelash, eyebrow, nostril, and ear canal hairs
Types of Glands and their structure, distribution, and function
(1) Sebaceous Gland- extension of follicular wall, can be single or multiple sacs and can have multiple on same hair. Over most of body surface except palms and feet. Lips, nipple, genital skin have these glands but they are open to surface and not hair. Most populated in the face. Releases Sebum (di and triglycerides) which keeps hair from drying. This contributes to body odor. (2) Eccrine Sudoriferous Gland- sweat gland. Never opens into hair follicle. Independent invagination of skin surface. Occur in most of skin but more in palms and feet. functions to cool the body. Salts are reabsorbed at top to not wast NaCl. Urea and Uric acid are released. (3) Apocrine Sudoriferous Gland- sweat gland that releases contents in hair follicle. Don't function until puberty. Least numerous of 3 types. Occurs in Axilla, anus, genitals, nipples. may play a role in sexual behavior. Initially no odor until contact with bacteria.
Functions of bone tissue (4)
(1) support and muscle attachment (2) protection (3) encloses blood forming elements (4) metabolic role- ready store of calcium
Physical properties of bone- tension, compression, ability to change
resist tension- due to collagen fibers (17,000 lbs/sq.in.). resist compression- due to hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2]- up to 24,000 lbs/sq.in.. Bone can change or remodel (1) in order to control [Ca+] in plasma and (2) to keep skeleton engineered for maximum effectiveness for mechanical use.
4 cells of bone and their function
(1) Osteoprogenitor Cells- similar to mesenchymal cells. can readily undergo division and transform into osteoblasts. (2) Osteoblast- produce the bone matrix. they are cuboid cells that may have numerous extensions of their plasma membrane. they arrange themselves in a single layer of cells at the developing or remodeling edge of bone and deposit the organic matrix, osteoid, which they later mineralize. When not active, they can revert to osteoprogenitor cells or transform into osteocytes. (3) Osteocyte- principle cell of completely formed bone. Flattened cells wiht long arm-like projetions that extend in the canaliculi of matrix. Not as active as osteoblast but releases calcium from bone into blood. They are the maintenance cells of bone tissue. When they die, active resorption by osteoclastic activity occurs. When released from mineralized surroundings, they can revert back to osteoprogenitor cells. (4) Osteoclast- large cells. contain up to 25 nuclei per cell. resorb bone. deep folds of cell contact bone and secrete hydrolytic enzymes to digest matrix
3 types of collagen producing cells
(1) Fibrocytes (2) Chondrocytes (3) Osteoblasts

Filtration- H2O, electrolytes, glucose are filtered but not cells or proteins. 50 gallons of filtrate are produced each day which is potential urine! Filtrate is before it enters the minor calyx, urine is after that.
