Study Notes

Types of Body Tissue

Epithelial Tissue: Forms skin, glands, and lines body cavities and organs; characterized by closely packed cells with minimal intercellular material. Classified by shape:
- Squamous: Flat cells
- Cuboidal: Square cells
- Columnar: Long, narrow cells
- Transitional: Stretchable cells
Connective Tissue: Provides support and binds other tissues; includes types such as:
- Collagen
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Adipose tissue
- Ligaments and tendons
- Blood and lymph
Muscle Tissue: Responsible for movement, separated into:
- Skeletal Muscle: Striated and voluntary, attached to bones
- Cardiac Muscle: Striated and involuntary, makes up heart muscle
- Smooth Muscle: Nonstriated and involuntary, found in walls of blood vessels and hollow organs
Nervous Tissue: Conducts nerve impulses, enabling rapid communication between structures and control of body functions. Comprised of:
- Neurons (nerve cells)
- Neuroglial cells (supportive structures)

Responsibilities in Preparing Examination Rooms

Equipment Check: Verify area is stocked with equipment and supplies, ensuring all are functional; refer to manufacturer operation manuals if needed.
Expiration Management: Regularly check and discard expired materials.
Room Condition: Ensure the room is private, well-lit, and at a comfortable temperature for patients.
Sanitation: Clean and disinfect the area daily and between patients to prevent infection spread; change examination paper after cleaning the table.
Preparation for Use: Arrange appropriate supplies (drapes, gowns, instruments) for easy access before patient arrival and ensure all Standard Precautions materials are available.

Responsibilities During Physician Assistance

Instrument Delivery: Provide instruments and supplies to the physician as needed during examinations.
Lighting Adjustments: Adjust gooseneck lamp for effective illumination of examination areas.
Patient Positioning: Position and drape patients appropriately throughout the examination phases.
Specimen Collection: Assist in obtaining and labeling specimens such as urine and Pap smear samples.
Follow-up Procedures: Conduct and schedule follow-up diagnostic tests, including ECGs and imaging studies.

Responsibilities in Preparing a Patient for Examination

Medical Record Check: Ensure completeness of medical records and signed consent forms.
Patient Interaction: Introduce yourself and address the patient respectfully by their preferred name.
Insurance Compilation: Gather insurance information following office protocol.
Specimen Collection: Obtain preordered specimens, such as urine and blood samples.
Vital Signs Measurement: Measure and record height, weight, BMI, and vital signs accurately.
