Study Notes
Cell Types and Functions
- Keratinocytes provide waterproofing for the outer layers of skin by containing keratin and forming a protective dead cell layer.
- B-cells are responsible for producing soluble antibodies as part of the immune response to antigens.
- Lysosomes act as recycling centers within cells, containing digestive enzymes that break down unwanted materials.
Physiological Responses to Stimuli
- Upon sudden fright, liver cells release glucose into the bloodstream due to epinephrine stimulation, increasing blood sugar levels.
Kidney Functions
- Kidneys primarily remove salts from the blood, maintaining electrolyte balance.
Bone Types
- Patellae are classified as sesamoid bones, developing in response to strain, and are also short bones.
Respiratory Support
- Surfactant is a critical lung component that prevents collapse by keeping lungs inflated with its lipopolysaccharide structure.
Blood Supply to Organs
- The gonadal artery directly supplies oxygenated blood to the reproductive organs, named testicular artery in males and ovarian artery in females.
Joint Structure
- Ligaments serve the vital function of connecting bones together, providing structural stability to joints.
Digestive Anatomy
- The structure of villi and microvilli enhances nutrient absorption by increasing the surface area in the intestines.
Diabetes and Hormonal Relationships
- Type I diabetes results from the absence of insulin, a hormone crucial for blood sugar regulation.
Nervous System Function
- Demyelination disrupts the propagation of action potentials along nerve axons due to deterioration of the myelin sheath, crucial for rapid signal transmission.
Microscopy and Organelle Study
- Electron microscopy allows detailed examination of cellular organelles due to the short wavelengths of electrons, providing better resolution than light microscopy.
