Membranes
Thin layer of tissue that covers a surface, lines a cavity, or separates or connects structures or organs.
Membrane
The most abundant tissue in the body. Connects, binds, supports, protects, insulates, and transports. Components of this tissue are: cells, fiber, and ground substance.
What is Connective Tissue
Articulation
What is a Joint
Pertaining to the portion of the skeleton made up of the bones in the skull, spine, and torso; includes the cranial, facial, hyoid, the sternum, ribs, and 33 vertebrae.
What is the Axial Skeleton
pivoting motion that may occur in any body plane, but occurs on a single axis.
Rotation
the outermost layer of skin composed of stratified squamous epithelium. (90% of cells in this layer are keratinocytes)
What is the Epidermis
Covers the external body and internal linings
What is Epithelial tissue
Freely movable joint (aka: synovial joint)
What is Diarthrosis
Pertaining to the portion of the skeleton made up of the bones of the limbs, including the bones of the pectoral and pelvic girdles.
What is the Appendicular Skeleton
a multiaxial rotation that passes through all three planes around a single point (the shoulder joint and hip joint are the examples of where this can occur)
Circumduction
Connective tissue layer of skin beneath the epidermis that contains nerve endings, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, blood and lymph vessels. (Rich with collagen and elastin fibers that makes the skin extensible and elastic.)
What is the Dermis
Contracts to create movement
What is Muscle Tissue
Type of joint that allows partial movement in which there is a cartilage disk between bony surfaces. (aka: cartilaginous joint)
What is Amphiarthrosis
gives our bodies structure (framework and support), protection, levers & fulcrums, mineral storage,& blood cell production
What are the Skeletal System Functions
Movement toward the midline and movement away from the midline
What is Adduction and Abduction
Mucous membranes
Serous membranes
Cutaneous membrane
Synovial membranes
What are the types of membrane in the human body.
Conducts electrical impulses.
What is Nervous tissue
Type of joint that does not allow movement
What is Synarthrosis
a hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow and numerous blood vessels in adults
What is the medullary cavity
Side bending movement of the spine
What is Lateral flexion
What are:
protects against environmental hazards, helps regulate body temperature, provides sensory information, excretion and absorption, synthesis of Vitamin D
type of involuntary muscle tissue
What is Smooth muscle tissue
Crest, Fovea, Tubercle, Tuberosity
What are examples of Bony landmarks
fuse to form the coxal bone
What are the illium, ischium, pubis
These are the different parts of the spine, the most mobile region of the spine, and the types of movement of this most mobile region of the spine.
What are the Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacrum, Coxcyc
What is the Cervical spine
What are extension, flexion, rotation, lateral flexion
