1. Excitability


2. Conductivity


3. Contractility


4. Extensibility


5. Elasticity

What 4 muscles make up the rotator cuff?

supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis

What 4 muscles play a part in elevating the scapula?

Levator Scapulae


Trapezius


Rhomboideus major


Rhomboideus minor

What are the 3 connective layers of the muscle tissue and what do each surround?

Endomysium- each muscle fiber


Perimysium- binds fibers into fascicles


Epimysium- surrounds the entire muscle

What composes the tunica interna (tunica intima)?

simple squamous epithelium (endothelium)

What composes the tunica media?

Smooth muscle, collagen, and elastic tissue

What composes the tunica externa (tunica adventitia)?

Loose connective tissue

What are the three types of capillaries?

1. Continuous


2. Fenestrated


3. Sinusoids

Where can fenestrated capillaries be found?

Organs that engage in rapid absorption or filtration such as the small intestine or kidneys

Where are sinusoid capillaries found?

Liver, bone marrow, spleen. Irregular, blood filled spaces.

What makes up the classification of "formed elements?"

erythrocytes, platelets, and five kinds of leukocytes

What is the main protein in plasma?

Albumin

What is the function of neutrophils?

Phagocytize bacteria


Secrete antimicrobial agents


(most common white blood cell)

What is the function of an eosinophil?

Phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes, allergens, and inflammatory chemicals


Secrete enzymes that weaken or destroy parasites

What is the function of a basophil?

Secrete histamine- which increases blood flow to tissue


Secrete heparin which promotes mobility of other WBCs

What is the function of a monocyte?

Differentiate into macrophages


Phagocytize pathogens, dead neutrophils, and debris of dead cells


Present antigens to activate other cells of the immune system

What is the function of a lymphocyte?

Destry cancer cells


Present antigens to activate other cells in immunity


Coordinate actions of other immune cells


Secrete antibodies


Serve in immune memory

What stops blood from entering capillaries?

precapillary sphincters

In portal systems, what happens?

Blood flows through two capillary beds

In anastomoses, what happens?

Veins or arteries merge without capillaries

What does the epicardium consist of?

simple squamous epithelium on top of aereolar tissue

What does the myocardium consist of?

Mostly myocytes

What does the endocardium consist of?

Consistent with endothelium of blood vessels

What kind of walls do the atria have?

Thin, flaccid walls

Which chamber of the heart has the thickest walls?

The left ventricle

Where is the sinoatrial node located?

Right atrium

After traveling to the atrioventricular node, where do electrical signals in the heart travel?

The atrioventricular bundle, or bundle of His

What is located in the subcapsular sinus of lymph nodes?

Reticular fibers, macrophages, and dendritic cells

What is located in the red pulp of the spleen?

concentrated erythrocytes

What is located in the white pulp of the spleen?

Lymphocytes and macrophages

What is the function of lacteals?

Absorb dietary lipids in the small intestine

What do smaller lymphatic vessels consist of?

thin endothelial cells without gap junctions

What do larger lymphatic vessels consist of?

Thin tunica interna, media, and externa

What is the role of natural killer cells?

attack and lyse bacteria, transplanted cells, and infected or cancerous host cells

What is the role of cytotoxic t cells?

directly attack and kill infected cells

What is the role of regulatory T cells?

Prevent an excessive response

What is the role of memory T cells?

Long lasting memory of the antigen for quicker responses

What is the role of B cells?

Secrete antibodies, can become memory B cells

What is the role of Macrophages?

Large, phagocytic cells that ingest and destroy tissue debris, dead neutrophils, bacteria, and other foreign material

What is the role of reticular cells?

contribute to stroma of lymphatic organs and act as antigen presenting cells

What is the role of dendritic cells?

specialized macrophages in the skin, mucous membranes, and lymphatic organs

What contributes to nonspecific immunity?

Natural killer cells, neutrophils, and other leukocytes

What is associated with humoral immunity?

B cells

What is associated with cellular immunity?

T cells

Which lymphatic organ does not have the lymph structural/functional unit?

thymus

How many lymphatic trunks are there?

Six

What are the two lymphatic collecting ducts?

Right lymphatic and thoracic
