Study Notes
Layers of the Epidermis
- Five layers of the epidermis: Stratum corneum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum, Stratum basale.
Pelvis Differentiation
- Female pelvis is wider and has a larger pelvic inlet compared to the male pelvis, which is narrower and has a more prominent sacrum.
Axial and Appendicular Skeleton
-
Axial Skeleton includes:
- Cranium (8 bones),
- Facial bones (14 bones),
- Vertebrae (26 total: 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar),
- Ribs (24 total).
-
Appendicular Skeleton consists of:
- Upper limbs (humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges),
- Lower limbs (femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges),
- Girdles: pectoral girdle (clavicle, scapula) and pelvic girdle (hip bones).
Total Number of Bones
- Adult human body contains 206 bones, recognizable in a disarticulated state.
Anatomical Names
- Elbow’s scientific name is the "olecranon".
Phalanges Count and Names
- Total of 14 phalanges in each hand (3 per finger, 2 in thumb) and 14 in each foot (3 per toe, 2 in big toe).
Obturator Foramen
- Recognized as a large opening in the pelvis, formed by the pubis and ischium.
Types of Vertebrae
- Vertebrae types include cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal; lumbar vertebrae are the largest for weight support.
Cranial Sutures
- Four major sutures in the cranium: Coronal, Sagittal, Lambdoid, Squamous.
Cell Layers
- Simple layer of cells is a single cell layer; stratified layers consist of multiple cell layers; skin contains stratified squamous epithelium.
Connective Tissue Fibers
- Provides strength and resilience in cartilage (collagen, elastin), bones (collagen), tendons (collagen), ligaments (collagen), and skin (collagen, elastin).
Cartilage and Hypodermis Cells
- Chondrocytes are the cells in cartilage; adipocytes are found in fat within the hypodermis.
Tobacco Smoke Effects
- Tobacco smoke adversely affects respiratory tissues, leading to health complications.
Tendon and Ligament Tissue
- Tendons and ligaments consist of dense regular connective tissue and heal slowly due to limited blood supply.
Heart Muscle Recovery
- Following even minor heart attacks, cardiac muscle cannot regenerate; damaged tissue is replaced by non-functional scar tissue.
Burn Classification Symptoms
- First-degree burns: red, non-blistered skin; Second-degree burns: red, blistered skin; Third-degree burns: white or charred skin, may affect deeper tissues.
Compact Bone Lamellae
- Three types of lamellae: Concentric lamellae (around central canal), Interstitial lamellae (between osteons), Circumferential lamellae (outer layer).
Skin Model Recognition
- Skin Layers: Epidermis (outer layer), Dermis (middle layer), Hypodermis (bottom layer).
- Exocrine Glands: Sebaceous (oil) glands, Eccrine sweat glands, Apocrine sweat glands.
Skin Tissue Composition
- Epidermis predominantly consists of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium; dermis contains dense irregular connective tissue; hypodermis is primarily loose connective tissue.
Epidermis Characteristics
- Epidermis is avascular but contains nerves; thick skin found on palms and soles; thin skin covers most of the body.
Keratinocytes in the Epidermis
- Keratinocytes make up 90% of epidermal cells, contributing to skin's protective barrier; other cell types include dendritic cells, Merkel cells, and melanocytes.
