BIOL 3401: MIDTERM

cadaver dissection
cutting and separation of tissues to reveal their relationships
Flip
comparative anatomy
study of more than one species in order to examine structural similarities and differences and analyze evolutionary trends
Flip
exploratory surgery
open body and take a look inside
Flip
medical imaging
viewing the inside of the body without surgery
Flip
gross antomy
study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Flip
cytology
study of structure and function of cells
Flip
histology
examination of microscopic cells
Flip
ultrastructure
molecular detail under electron microscope
Flip
histopathology
microscopic examination of tissues for signs of disease
Flip
palpation
feeling with fingers
Flip
What dictates cell function?
cell cytoplasm and membrane
Flip
cytoplasmic components
-provide machinery for cell to synthesize ATP and proteins -root of all cellular processes -provides the following capacity molecular synthesis
Flip
Chromatin
ability for cell to respond -contains embedded proteins -root of all physiological processes
Flip
Fluid Mosaic Bilayer
Fluid Mosaic Bilayer
Flip
Membrane components of Fluid Mosaic Bilayer
-peripheral proteins -integral proteins -cytoskeleton(chains of sugar)
Flip
components of FMB serve as
-receptors -enzymes -channels and pumps -cell adhesion
Flip
4 broad tissue categories
-receptors -enzymes -channels and pumps -cell adhesion
Flip
organ
structure with discrete boundaries that is composed of 2 or more tissue types
Flip
epithelial tissue
Types: membranous or glanular -covers body surface -line body cavities -forms the external/internal linings of many organs
Flip
basement membrane
layer between an epithelium and the underlying connective tissue
Flip
collagen
anchors the epithelium to the connective tissues below
Flip
basal surface
surface of an epithelial cell that faces the basement membrane
Flip
apical surface
surface of an epithelial cell that faces away from the basement membrane
Flip
binding of organs
areolar, tendons, and ligaments
Flip
support and movement
bones and cartilage
Flip
physical protection
bones and cartilage
Flip
immune protection
white blood cells
Flip
energy storage and heat protection
white blood cells
Flip
transport
blood
Flip
dense fibrous connective tissue(regular)
-densely packed, parallel collagen fibers -compressed fibroblast nuclei -elastic fibers/tissue, wavy sheets
Flip
What attaches muscles to bones?
tendons
Flip
ligaments
ligaments
Flip
General features of bones
-epiphyses and diaphysis -compact and spongy bone -marrow cavity -articular cartilage -periosteum
Flip
types of bone marrow
-red -yellow
Flip
Red marrow
-myeloid tissue -found in every bone in children -found in skull, ribs, sternum, humerus femur of adults -hemopoietic tissue)produces blood cells)
Flip
Yellow marrow
-most red marrow turns into fatty yellow marrow -no longer produces blood
Flip
Osteogenic cells
-stem cells found in endosteum, periosteum, and in central canals -multiply continuously to produce new osteoblasts
Flip
Osteocytes
-former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matrix they have deposited -some reabsorb bone matrix while others deposit it -contribute to homeostatic mechanism of bone density and calcium and phosphate ions
Flip
Osteoblasts
-bone forming cell that is found in newest layer of bone -synthesize soft organic matter of matrix, then hardens by mineral deposition -then called an osteocyte after being trapped in the matrix -contributes to homeostatic mechanism of bone density, calcium, and phosphate ions
Flip
Osteoclasts
-bone dissolving cells found on the bone surface -large cells formed from the fusion of several stem cells
Flip
Osteoporosis
-estrogen maintains density in both sexes; inhibits osteoclasts -common in young female athletes
Flip
Joint (articulation)
any point where two bones meet, whether or not the bones are movable at that interface
Flip
4 major joint categories
-bony -fibrous -cartilaginous -synovial
Flip
Bony joints
low movement, if any at all
Flip
fibrous joints or synarthrosis
largely immovable joint where two bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue
Flip
cartilaginous joints
allowed to absorb and take shock
Flip
Synovial joints or diarthrosis
two bones are separated by a space called a joint cavity
Flip
Articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage layer covering the facing surfaces of two bones
Flip
joint (articular) cavity
separates articular surfaces
Flip
What structures are associated with synovial joints?
tendons, ligaments, and bursa
Flip
Tendon
-attaches muscle to bone -most importnat structures in stabilizing a joint
Flip
ligaments
similar tissue that attaches bone to bone
Flip
bursa
-a fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid -cushions muscles, helps tendons slide more easily over joints, modifies direction of tendon pull
Flip
Synovial fluid
-slippery texture -nourishes articular cartilage -removes waste -movement almost friction free
Flip
sarcoplasmic reticulum
calcium reservoir
Flip
myofilament
microscopic structures
Flip
contractile proteins
myosin(thick) actin(thin)
Flip
What proteins occur in ali cells?
myosin and actin
Flip
motor unit
one nerve fiber and all the muscle fibers innervated by it
Flip
types of smooth muscle
multiunit single unit
Flip
multiunit smooth muscle
-occurs in largest arteries and pulmonary air passages
Flip
single unit smooth muscle
occurs in most blood vessels, digestive tract, and respiratory tract
Flip
2 major atomical subdivisions of the nervous system
-central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) -peripheral nervous system(all nervous system but brain and spinal cord
Flip
What does the PNS provide?
sensory input and motor outputs
Flip
ganglion
swelling in a nerve where neuron cell bodies are concentrated
Flip
structure of a neuron
dendrites soma cell body axon hillock myelin sheath node of ranveir internodes
Flip
Neuroglial cells of CNS
astrocytes epydemal cell microglia oligodendrocyte
Flip
types of neuroglia
oligodendrocytes ependymal cells astrocytes microglia
Flip
oligodendrocytes
-form myelin sheaths -white matter appearance
Flip
oligodendrocytes
lines internal cavities of the brain and secretes and circulates the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Flip
microglia
small wandering macrophages, help clean CSF
Flip
astrocytes
-have perivascular feet that content blood capillaries -form the blood-brain barrier
Flip
Two types that occur only in PNS
schwann and satellite cells
Flip
Major landmarks of the brain
-cerebrum is 83% of brain volume -cerebellum contains 50% of the neurons -brainstem(diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata)
Flip
central sulcus
separates motor and sensory of brain
Flip
longitudinal fissure
deep groove that seperates cerebral hemisphere
Flip
gyri
thick folds
Flip
sulcus
inbetween gyro, shallow grooves ***FOLDS INCREASE COMPLEXITY
Flip
corpus callosum
thick nerve bundle at bottom of longitudinal fissure that connects hemispheres
Flip
situs solitus vs situs inversus
mirror image
Flip

hearts flipped, everything else normal
Flip
situs perverus
not everything is right, some right, some wrong
