Study Notes
Meiosis
- Genetic recombination occurs in Prophase I, producing new combinations of genes in the chromosomes.
- This results in few, if any, chromosomes in the germ cells being exactly the same as those in the mother and father.
Cell Structure
- Rough pale staining cytoplasm is characteristic of Mucous secretion.
- Glands with both mucous and serous acini converging at larger ducts are classified morphologically as Compound Alveolar/Acinar.
Muscle Types
- Skeletal muscle characteristics:
- Long striated cylindrical muscle fiber
- Multinucleated present at the periphery of cell under the sarcolemma
- Cardiac muscle characteristics:
- Pacinian corpuscle
- Contain only afferent nerve fibers
- Regulate the amount of effort required to perform movements
- Smooth muscle characteristics:
- None mentioned in the text
Glial Cells
- Astrocytes have bundles of intermediate filaments consisting of GAP (glial fibrillary acid protein).
Neurons
- Multipolar neurons are the most common type of neurons, found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, Purkinje cells, and sympathetic ganglion.
- Sympathetic ganglion neurons are classified as multipolar based on the number of cell processes.
Cardiac Cells
- Purkinje fibers characteristics:
- Pale-staining
- Larger than adjacent contractile fibers
- Sparse, peripheral myofibrils
- Much glycogen
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue proper is further divided based on the amount and arrangement of collagen fibers, cell, and ground substance.
Tissue Repair
- Fibroblasts are involved in tissue repair.
Hand Muscles
- Palmar interosseus muscles (3): ADduction (PAD)
- Dorsal interosseus muscles (4): ABduction (DAB) - abduct the 2nd-4th digits from axial line
Hand Compartment
- Hypothenar compartment contains:
- Opponens digiti minimi
- Abductor digiti minimi
- Flexor digiti minimi
Fascial Space
- Quadrangular space transmits the profunda brachii artery.
Rotator Cuff Muscle
- Rotator's Cuff Muscle (SITS): Supraspinatus - initiates and assists deltoid in abducting the arm.
