Strongest cartilage type, found in pubic symphysis and intervertebral diccs

Fibrocartilage

What are the three Muscle tissue types?

-skeletal


-cardiac


-smooth

Tissue type that is used for movement in the body

Muscle

Muscle tissue type that is made up of long, cylindrical, striated (striped) cells. Considered voluntary

Skeletal

Muscle tissue type that is striated and have intercalated discs to join cells together. Involuntary

Cardiac (heart) Muscle

Muscle tissue type that is NOT striated and moves materials through the blood vessels and digestive system

Smooth

Tissue type that sends and receives nerve impulses and has an axon and dendrites

Nervous

Membranes

Composed of a layer of epithelial tissue and a layer of connective tissue. Secretes fluids to protect and cushion

Mucous Membrane

Secrete mucus and line passages to the outside world

Serous Membrane

Secrete serous fluid (watery) and line the cavities that organs are in (pericardium=heart, pleural=lungs, peritoneum=abdomen)

Synovial Membrane

Secrete synovial fluid (like egg-whites) and line synovial joints

What are the three layers of skin?

-Epidermis


-Dermis


-Hypodermis/Subcutaneous Layer

What are the three parts of hair?

-Shaft: protrudes above skin surface


-Root: penetrates deep into dermis


-Follicle: surrounds the root

Keratinocyte

Cell that produces keratin (a strong protein that resists abrasion and is waterproof)

Melanocyte

Cell that produces melanin (gives skin color and protection from sun)

Langerhans Cell

Part of immune system (macrophage white blood cell)

Which fiber in skin provides strength?


Which provides elasticity?

Collagen fiber= strength


Elastic fiber= elasticity

Atrector Pili Muscle

Muscle attached to hair follicle (makes hair stand up)

Dermal Papilla

Ridges at the top of the dermis that create fingerprints

Glands that produce sweat to cool you off

Sweat Glands

Glands that produce oily sebum to protect hair and skin from dehydration

Sebaceous Glands

What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system?

-Support (posture)


-Protection (internal organs)


-Movement (attached to muscle)


-Storage (Calcium and Phosphorus)


-Blood Cell Production (in marrow)

Sesamoid Bone

Sesame seed shaped (patella)

Long Bone

Longer than they are wide

Short Bone

Cube-shaped (wrist and ankle)

Flat Bone

Thin but strong (skull, ribs, sternum)

Irregular Bone

Complex shapes (vertebrae and facial bones)

Type of bone that is strong against compression, is heavy and thick, and covers all bones

Compact Bone

Type of bone that is strong against tension (pulling force). Light weight because of holes.

Spongy Bone

Trabeculae

Spiny, poky, bone in spongy bone (not the holes)
