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 |
