Epithelial and Connective
We use these two characteristics to distinguish and name epithelial tissues.
What are number of layers of cells + shape at the free surface?
An anatomical characteristic shared by cartilage and osseous tissues.
What are lacunae?
The oldest cells in the epidermis are in this layer.
What is the stratum corneum?
This type of fiber allows for slight flexibility of osseous tissue.
What are collagen fibers?
The most medial bone in the distal row of carpal bones.
What is hamate?
This type of membrane surrounds organs in the peritoneal cavity. It is composed of _______ and _______ tissues.
What is a serous membrane composed of simple squamous epithelial tissue and areolar tissue.
This type of junction allows cardiac tissue to have constant chemical communication.
What is a gap junction?
The structure increases the surface area of the papillary layer of the dermis.
What are dermal papillae?
This layer of the periosteum is the site of connection to tendons and ligaments, and contains ___________ tissue.
What is the fibrous layer of the periosteum, made of dense irregular connective tissue?
These curvatures form after birth.
What are secondary curvatures - cervical and lumbar?
Embryonic connective tissue.
Mesenchyme.
True or False. Spongy bone contains blood vessels and osteons.
False - spongy bone receives nutrients from the surrounding bone marrow. An osteon has a central canal.
This type of gland uses holocrine secretion and is rooted in the reticular layer of the dermis.
What is a sebaceous gland?
This term is used to describe the area of bulging bone where a fracture repair occurred in the past.
What is a bony callus?
The acetabulum is composed of these three bones.
What are the ilium, ischium, and pubis?
What are glucosamine and chondroitin?
The fluid connective tissue that carries excess fluids away from our tissues and contains mostly white blood cells.
What is lymph?
During what phase of wound healing do cells from the stratum basale move under the scab?
What is migration?
A person with an overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroidism will produce too much of which calcium regulating hormone?
What is calcitonin?
The proximal end of proximal phalanx II articulates with this bone.
What is the metacarpal II?
Critical thinking: This tissue is in the submucosa of the digestive organ. The function of the submucosa is to provide stability, but allow twisting and stretching in multiple directions as food passes through the digestive system.
What is dense irregular connective tissue?
If these cells are most active during tissue repair, the tissue will no longer function as well as it did prior to damage.
What are stromal cells?
A person with albinism lacks function in this type of cell.
What are melanocytes?
This type of bone cell matures from a cell line that also produces phagocytic white blood cells.
What are osteoclasts?
Together these bones create the orbits.
What are the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, maxilla, zygomatic, palantine and lacrimal bones?
