What makes up the Ventral Body Cavity |
1. Thoracic Cavity (mediastinum, pericardial cavity, pleural cavities) 2. Abdominopelvic Cavity (abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity) |
|
Function of the Ventral Body Cavity (Coelom) |
Provides protection; allows organ movement; prevents friction |
|
Define + Explain Thoracic Cavity |
Surrounded by chest wall and diaphragm, subdivided into Mediastinum, Pericardial Cavity and Pleural Cavity |
|
Accessories contained in Mediastinum |
Trachea, esophagus and major vessels. Also contains the pericardial cavity, which surrounds the heart |
|
Function of the Pleural Cavities |
Found in the Thoracic Cavity in the Ventral Body Cavity, surround the L and R lung |
|
Function and Location of the Abdominopelvic Cavity |
Contains the peritoneal cavity, subdivided into the abdominal and pelvic cavities. |
|
Abdominal Cavity |
Contains many digestive glands and organs |
|
Pelvic Cavity |
Urinary bladder, reproductive organs, last portion of digestive tract |
|
What muscle marks the division between the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities |
The diaphragm |
|
What region of the thoracic cavity contains the trachea? |
The mediastinum |
|
What are the non-membranous organelles of a cell |
Cytoskeleton, Ribosomes, Centrioles, Cilia |
|
What are the membranous organelles of the cell |
Mitochondria, nucleus, Rough ER, Smooth ER, golgi apparatus, vesicles, lysosomes and peroxisomes |
|
What are the 5 functions that cells have |
1. Responsiveness 2. Growth and differentiation 3. Reproduction 4. Movement 5. Metabolism and Excretion |
|
Define Tissue |
A collection of specialized cells and cell products that are designed to perform a specific function |
|
4 Primary Types of Tissue |
Connective, Muscle, Epithelial and Neural |
|
4 Essential Functions of Epithelial Tissue |
1. Physical Protection 2. Controls Permeability 3. Provides Sensation 4. Specialized Secretions |
|
How can epithelial tissue be classified by layering |
1. Simple (1 layer)
2. Stratified (Multiple layers) |
|
How can epithelial tissue be classified by shape of cells |
1. Squamous (flat) 2. Cubodial (cubes) 3. Columnar (columns) |
|
Simple Squamous Epithelium |
Occurs wherever small molecules must pass across a membrane quickly. |
|
Where is simple squamous epithelium found? |
Lining ventral body cavities, lining the heart and blood vessels, portions of the kidney tubules, inner lining of the cornea and the alveoli of the lungs. |
|
Where is simple cuboidal epithelium found? |
Where functions of secretion and/or absorption are required (the kidney tubules where ions and molecules are selectively secreted or re-absorbed) |
|
Where is simple columnar epithelium found? |
Located in areas of absorption and secretion (lining of the digestive tract from the stomach to anal canal) |
|
Function of stratified squamous epithelium tissue? |
To protect from abrasion |
|
Function of transitional epithelium? |
Functions as a stretchable and impermeable lining of the urinary bladder and ureters |
|
Function of pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium tissue? |
Found lining the trachea and most of the respiratory tract; all the cells contact the basal lamina (basement membrane) but not all the cells reach the surface. The nuclei occur at different levels in the tissue, giving it a look of being stratified when it is actually not |
|
Function of cilia lining the respiratory tract? |
Beat in synchronized manner to move sticky mucus and trapped dust particles toward the threat and away from respiratory surfaces. This action is lost if cilia is damaged (smoking/respiratory infections) |
|
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue: description, location, function. |
Thin and short. Alveoli on lungs, mesothelia when lining body cavities and endothelia when lining the heart. Secretion and absorption |
|
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue: description, location, and function. |
Thin, cubed shaped. Glands |
