Four types of basic tissue

Epithelial, nervous, connective, muscle tissue

Epithelial tissue definition

Tightly packed sheets, covers the surface of the human body and lines almost all body cavities

Connective tissue definition

Mostly supportive function, composed of intercellular material, 8 types

Aerolar tissue

Thin tissue between muscles and organs


Type of connective tissue

Adipose tissue

Fat area of tissue between muscles and organs


Connective tissue

Lymphoid tissue

Found in tonsils and adenoids


Connective tissue

White fibrous tissue

Dense tissue in ligaments and muscle fascia


Connective tissue

Yellow elastic tissue

Found within areas of recoil like trachea and bronchial passageways


Connective tissue

Cartilage

Strength and elasticity


Hyaline-used for nine articulation


Fibrous-between vertbrae


Yellow-epiglottis and pinna


Connective tissue

Bone

Hardest connective tissue

Plasma

Blood cells and plasma


Connective tissue

Muscle tissue

Specialized contractile tissue


Striated=voluntary


Smooth and cardiac=involuntary

Nervous tissue

Highly specialized communicative tissue

Frontal

Perpendicular to ground

Sagittal

Divides the body into left and right

Coronal

Divides body into ventral and dorsal

Ventral

Toward the belly

Caudal

Toward the sky

Rostral

Toward the snout

Dorsal

Toward the sky

Midsagittal

Splits the body exactly in half

Ligaments

Line visceral (organs) or skeleton (bone to bone)

Tendons

Attach muscle to bone or cartilage

Antagonist vs agonist muscles

These two muscles work together. One is the prime mover, the agonist, and the other relaxes when the other moves, the antagonist

Muscle origin vs muscle attachment

Origin is point of fixed attachment, insertion is the way it moves with contraction

Inspiratory muscles

-Diaphragm and external intercostals. Interchondral portion of internal intercostals help too.


-elevate sternum and rib cage

Expiratory muscles

Most important are the abdominal wall muscles: rectus abdominis, internal and external oblique, quadratus lumbomus, and transverse abdominis


-depress the ribs and sternum

Trachea location

Starts under the larynx and ends behind the sternum, then divides into two bronchi-one in each lung


4 inches long and less and one diameter thick

Trachea function

Connects larynx to lunch bronchi to provide air flow to and from the lungs for respiration

Pulmonary system

Includes upper and lower airways and larynx

Bronchi

Starts with main or primary bronchi, then goes to secondary bronchi, then tertiary bronchi, and finally bronchioles

Alveoli definition

Small pits or depressions in the walls of terminal bronchioles


Type one cells lined with simple epithelium


Type two produce surfactant to decrease surface tension

Costal pleura

Covers the inner aspect of the ribs, costal cartilages, and innercostal muscles

Structures of the vertebral column

Includes 33 vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and can be divided into 5 sections

Sections of vertebral column

Cervical has 7 vertebrae


Thoracic has 12 vertebrae


Lumbar has 5 vertebrae


Sacrum 5


Coccyx 3-4

Parts of the ribs

1-7 are true ribs


8-10 are false ribs


11-12 are floating ribs

Spinal nerves

Cervical has 8 spinal nerves


Thoracic has 12


Lumbar has 5


Sacral has 5


Coccyx has 1

Spinal nerve function

To carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and body

Alveoli function

Site of O2 and CO2 exchange

Location of lungs

Located between the rib cage and above the diaphragm

Function of lungs

Spongy and elastic due to passive mechanical forces


Right lung other than left because left has the heart


Primary purpose of lungs is gas exchange

Atmospheric pressure

Relative zero against which other pressures are compared

Alveolar pressure

Pressure within lungs during air exchange

Intrapleural pressure

Always negative, pressure in pleural linkage

Subglottal pressure

Pressure below vocal folds

Visceral pleura

Covers the lungs

Parietal pleural

Covers internal surface of the thoracic cavity
