Study Notes
Blood and Tissue Classification
- Blood is a type of connective tissue.
Membranes
- Serous membranes line body cavities and cover organs within those cavities.
Muscle Types
- Cardiac muscle has interlocking cells for efficient contraction.
Acid-Base Balance
- The endocrine system primarily controls the acid-base balance.
Digestive System Organs
- The provided options (Il and IV) are needed to indicate specific digestive organs. The question is incomplete.
Tissue Identification
- Tissue with pink cells in a firm purple matrix, nestled in holes, is cartilage.
Medical Specialists
- A neurologist specializes in the nervous system and is appropriate for a head injury.
Body Systems (Fill in the Blank)
- The nervous system coordinates body functions.
- The muscular system enables movement.
- Cartilage is a type of connective tissue.
- The visceral layer is the inner part of a serous membrane covering organs.
- The endocrine system produces hormones.
- The skeletal system stores calcium.
Organization of the Body (Short Answer)
- The order from simplest to most complex is: cells, tissues, organs, systems.
Epithelial vs. Connective Tissue (Short Answer)
- Epithelial cells form tight sheets, usually without blood vessels.
- Connective tissues have few cells embedded in an extracellular matrix.
Membrane Types (Short Answer)
- Membranes are categorized as squamous, cuboidal, and columnar (with pseudostratified being a subcategory of columnar).
- Simple membranes are single layers; stratified membranes have multiple layers named for their outermost cell type.
Muscle Tissue Types (Short Answer)
- Cardiac muscle is involuntary, striated, and found in the heart.
- Smooth muscle is involuntary, non-striated, and found in the digestive system.
- Skeletal muscle is voluntary, striated, and attached to bones.
Body Systems Involved in Disorders (Short Answer)
- Arthritis: Skeletal system
- Hepatitis: Gastrointestinal system
- Pneumonia: Respiratory system
- Osteoporosis: Skeletal system
- Urinary Tract Infection: Urinary system
Bone Structure and Function (Multiple Choice)
- The elbow is a hinge joint.
- The sternum is the breastbone.
- The epiphysis is the end of a long bone.
- An epiphyseal plate indicates a younger skeleton (teenager or child).
- Osteoporosis is a bone disease related to aging, caffeine, and smoking.
- If an epiphyseal plate is damaged, bone growth is impaired, leading to uneven limb length.
Appendicular Bones (Fill in the Blank)
- Three large appendicular bones are: Femur, Tibia, Humerus.
Cartilage Locations (Fill in the Blank)
- Cartilage is found in the nose, ears, and between bones.
Joint Fluid (Fill in the Blank)
- Synovial fluid lubricates joints.
Bone-Building Cells (Fill in the Blank)
- Osteoblasts rebuild bone.
- Osteoclasts break down bone.
- Bones need to be touching to heal after a fracture.
Tendons vs. Ligaments (Short Answer)
- Ligaments connect bone to bone.
- Tendons connect muscle to bone.
Endochondral Ossification (Short Answer)
- Endochondral ossification forms most bones by replacing cartilage with bone.
- Cartilage is first formed as a model.
- Osteoblasts create bone, replacing the cartilage.
- The process involves a primary ossification center and secondary ossification.
Joint Classification (Short Answer)
- Functional classifications of joints include: mobile, partially mobile, and immobile.
- Structural classifications of joints include fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.
- Fibrous joints are held together by connective tissue and are usually immobile or slightly mobile.
- Cartilaginous joints are held together by cartilage and are immobile or slightly mobile.
- Synovial joints have a joint cavity, synovial membrane, and synovial fluid for movement.
Joint Movements (Short Answer)
- Types of joint movements in freely moving joints include: gliding, hinge, saddle, ellipsoidal, pivot, and ball-and-socket.
Forensic Skeletal Analysis (Short Answer)
- Growth plates in skeletons suggest youth (under 20).
- Pelvic structure helps determine sex.
- Cartilage condition (arthritis) reflects health.
- Posture (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis) indicates possible problems.
- Bone density indicates potential osteoporosis.
Muscle Function and Disorders (Multiple Choice)
- Voluntary muscle is also known as skeletal muscle.
- The heart does not contain smooth muscle.
- Most skeletal muscles attach to bones via tendons.
- Muscle function during contraction is called muscle fiber contraction (or simply muscle fiber function).
- Cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated.
- A torn calcaneal tendon impairs dorsiflexion of the foot.
- Guillain-Barré syndrome can cause paralysis, starting with the toes/feet.
Muscle Disorders (Fill in the Blank)
- A sudden muscle contraction is a spasm.
- Loss of voluntary muscle use is paralysis.
- A tear in the muscle wall allowing organs to protrude is a hernia.
- Glycogen is a carbohydrate stored in muscles for energy.
- Myalgia means muscle pain or tenderness.
- Brachialis muscle is involved in elbow flexion.
