Term
| What's the main function of the muscular system? |
|
Definition
| Movement and locomotion; along with the Skeletal System |
|
|
Term
| What are the four types of tissue? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Tightly packed cells that cover the outside of the body, organs, and cavities. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One layer of cells on basement membrane. |
|
|
Term
| Stratified Epithelial Tissue |
|
Definition
| Multiple layers on basement membrane. |
|
|
Term
| Pseudo-Stratified Epithelial Tissue |
|
Definition
| Appears to be stratified, due to cells that vary in length |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Spread out cells that bind and support other tissues through extracellular matrix. |
|
|
Term
| What are the three types of fibers? |
|
Definition
Collagenous, Elastic, Reticular |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Non-elastic collagen. (most abundant fiber) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| long treads made out of elastin |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| thin and branched fibers, made out of collagen. Forms tightly woven fabric |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Binds epithelia to other tissues and packages organs in place.fibroblasts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| maakes protein ingredients for extracellular fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Eats bacteria and waste of dead cells |
|
|
Term
| Adipose Connective Tissue |
|
Definition
| Stores fat in adipose cells. Acts as sponge with fat. (swells with fat, shrinks while fat is used as fuel) |
|
|
Term
| Fibrous Connective Tissue |
|
Definition
| Very dense due to lots of collagenous fibers. Shaped in parallel bundles to maximize non elastic strength (form fits function). |
|
|
Term
| Cartilage Connective Tissue |
|
Definition
| Lots of collagenous fibers in matrix called chondroitin sulfates. Combination of collagenous fibers and chondroitin sulfates make cartilage strong, but flexible. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Mineralized connective tissue. Osteoblasts are bone forming cells. Calcium, magnesium, and phosphate ions combine to form the mineral, hydroxyapatite. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Has extracellular matrix=plasma. Contains erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets (clots blood) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Senses stimuli and transmit signals by nerve impulses from 1 part to other part of the body.
Unit of function= neuron (nerve cell)
Has extensions- dendrites (signals to rest of nerve cell) and axons(signals other neurons) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| made out of muscle fibers that contract when stimulated by nerve impulses |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| responsible for voluntary movements of the body. Called striated due to striped appearance. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| forms contractile walls of heart and is responsible for involuntary movement. The muscle is striated but branched. The ends are joined with intercalated discs, which relay signals from cell to cell during a heartbeat. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| muscle tissue that lacks striations and is responsible for involuntary movement. Contracts slower than skeletal muscles but can contract longer. |
