Study Notes
Glands and Secretion
- Merocrine sweat glands secrete sweat for body cooling.
- Apocrine sweat glands produce viscous sweat during stress or sexual arousal.
- Sebaceous glands secrete oily substance (sebum) to lubricate the skin and hair.
- Ceruminous glands secrete a waxy substance for ear protection.
Wound Healing
- The first step in wound healing is blood clot formation.
- Leukocytes help clean the wound during granulation tissue formation.
Skin and Cancer
- UVB radiation is most responsible for causing damage to skin DNA.
- Basal cell carcinoma originates in the stratum basale layer of the skin.
- Melanoma is the most dangerous skin cancer due to its tendency to spread.
- The papillary layer of the dermis is composed of loose areolar connective tissue.
Skin Structures and Functions
- Dermal papillae increase surface area for nutrient exchange.
- The epidermis is responsible for producing Vitamin D.
- Lanugo is the unpigmented hair found on fetuses.
Epithelial Tissue
- The epidermis consists of stratified squamous (keratinized) epithelium.
- Carotene contributes to a yellow-orange hue in the skin, derived from diet.
Muscle Tissue
- Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs.
- Epithelial tissue is classified based on cell shape and the number of layers.
Connective Tissue
- Loose connective tissue (areolar tissue) has large amounts of ground substance and fewer fibers.
- Adipose tissue stores energy as fat and cushions organs.
- Reticular connective tissue forms the framework of organs like the spleen and lymph nodes.
Cell Junctions
- Desmosomes provide mechanical stability by anchoring cells together.
- Gap junctions facilitate communication between cells, notably in cardiac muscle tissue.
- Tight junctions prevent leakage between epithelial cells.
Cell Structure and Functions
- The nucleus stores and protects genetic material (DNA).
- Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, while the mitochondria produce ATP mainly through cellular respiration.
Cell Cycle and Mitosis
- DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.
- The final step in mitosis is cytokinesis, leading to the division of the cytoplasm.
- Chromosomes align in the middle of the cell during metaphase.
Metabolic Processes
- The citric acid cycle produces energy carriers like NADH and FADH2.
- Glycolysis is an anaerobic process.
Transport Mechanisms
- Active transport requires ATP to move substances across the cell membrane.
- Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
- Endocytosis involves the engulfing of substances into the cell, while receptor-mediated endocytosis involves specific uptake through receptors.
Cellular Components
- The Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins for secretion.
- Fibroblasts in connective tissue produce collagen and other fibers.
- Melanin, produced by melanocytes, provides protection against UV damage.
- The stratum corneum contains the most layers of dead keratinized cells.
