Study Notes
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue has polarity as a characteristic.
- All epithelial tissues are connected by intercellular junctions.
- Epithelial tissue has a high regeneration capability.
- All epithelial tissues are attached to a basement membrane.
- A simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flattened cells attached directly to a basement membrane.
- The lining of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs is comprised of simple squamous epithelium.
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system is responsible for protection, water loss prevention, temperature regulation, and synthesis of cholecalciferol (Vitamin D precursor).
Epidermis
- The epidermis is comprised of five strata, from deep to superficial: basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, and corneum.
- Melanin's role in the skin is protecting against UV light.
- The dermis's reticular layer consists mainly of dense irregular connective tissue.
- Blood capillaries that supply nourishment to the epidermis are found in the dermal papillae.
- Fine hair that is unpigmented or lightly pigmented is called vellus, and it is found on the upper and lower limbs.
- The part of the hair that extends beyond the skin surface is called the shaft.
- The arrector pili muscle pulls on the follicle, causing goose bumps.
- Sebum is a secretion that lubricates skin and helps defend against bacteria.
Cartilage
- Cartilage located in the epiphyseal plates is the site of bone elongation and growth.
Bone
- Hemopoiesis occurs in the red bone marrow.
- As the bone matrix calcifies, osteoblasts become osteocytes.
- Interstitial growth of cartilage increases its length and occurs in the internal region of the cartilage.
Intramembranous Ossification
- Intramembranous ossification occurs within mesenchymal connective tissue.
- Intramembranous ossification produces flat bones.
- The cells involved in intramembranous ossification are mesenchymal cells.
- The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilages, and ligaments.
- Bone is rigid and mainly contains nerves.
Bone Functions
- Bone's functions include protection, mineral storage, body movement, hormone synthesis, and hemopoiesis.
Bone Types
- The bones of the fingers and toes (phalanges) are classified as long bones.
Bone Growth
- The knobby region of a long bone at the end that is farthest from the trunk is the epiphysis.
- Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow marrow to red marrow.
- Osteoblasts produce new bone tissue by secreting matrix.
- Osteoid is the organic part of the bone matrix that gives it tensile strength.
Endochondral Ossification
- Endochondral ossification occurs within hyaline cartilage.
- Endochondral ossification produces most bones of the body.
- The cells involved in endochondral ossification are chondroblasts.
- The zygomatic bone is formed by intramembranous ossification.
- The formation of bone from a cartilaginous model is termed endochondral ossification.
- The steps in the process of endochondral ossification are: cartilage model develops, ossification center forms in the diaphysis, cartilage calcifies and a bone collar forms, ossification centers form in the epiphyses, bone replaces cartilage, epiphyseal plates ossify.
Bone Remodeling
- Bone remodeling continues throughout adulthood.
- Bone remodeling occurs at different rates.
- 20% of the human skeleton is replaced yearly.
- Bone remodeling is dependent on the coordinated activities of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.
- Bone remodeling is influenced by hormones and mechanical stress.
Axial Skeleton
- The clavicle is not part of the axial skeleton.
Skull
- The skull is comprised of eight cranial bones and fourteen facial bones.
- The temporal bone is not a facial bone.
Vertebral Column
- Vertebral column regions, from superior to inferior: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal.
Ribs
- Two pairs of ribs are considered "floating ribs" that do not articulate with the sternum.
Femur Articulating Bones
- The femur articulates with the tibia and patella.
Clavicle Articulating Bones
- The clavicle articulates with the scapula and sternum.
