BURN CLASSIFICATION
|
First-degree (partial-thickness) burns . Only surface layers of epidermis involved. Skin is red and swollen
Second-degree (partial-thickness) burns. Involve the deep epidermal layers Skin is red with blisters Third-degree (full-thickness) burns, complete destruction of the epidermis and dermis, destruction of nerve endings ,Burn is gray-white or black |
|
ABCDE RULE
|
A = Asymmetry: Two sides of pigmented mole do not match
B = Border irregularity: Borders of mole are not smooth C = Color: Different colors in pigmented area D = Diameter: Spot is larger then 6 mm in diameter E = Elevated: Most are raised above the skin surface |
|
MECHANISMS OF HEAT TRANSFER
|
Radiation: loss or gain of heat in the form of infrared radiation
Convection: loss to air moving over body surface Conduction: transfer of heat from one object to another Evaporation :loss of body heat to water as it evaporates from body surface |
|
CHONDROCYTE
|
Only cell found in cartilage
|
|
PROPER NAME FOR CARDIAC TISSUE
|
MYOCARDIUM
|
|
SUPPORT CELLS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
Glial Cells: are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons
|
|
NEURON PARTS
|
Dendrites: recieve stimulus
Axon: Drives away stimulus Body Nucleus |
|

INFLAMATION OF SEROUS MEMBRANES
|
• Pleurisy-inflammation of the serous membranes that line the chest cavity and cover the lungs
• Peritonitis-inflammation of the serous membranes in the abdominal cavity that line the walls and cover the abdominal organs |
|
MEMBRANES SUROUNDING HEART
|
•Serous Pericardium-parietal and visceral layers surrounding the heart (Epithelial)
•Fibrous pericardium: encloses heart (Connective) |
|
PERICARDITIS
|
Inflamation of the pericardium (both layers)
|
|
BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION
|
Regulation of sweat secretion
Regulation of flow of blood close to the body surface |
|
HAIR
|
hair follicle : allows Hair growth, tube like structure
Hair growth begins from hair papilla Hair root lies hidden in follicle and visible part of hair called shaft • |
|
FUNCTIONS OF SKIN
|
•Protection-first line of defense
•Against infection by microbes •Against ultraviolet rays from sun •Against harmful chemicals •Against cuts and tears |
|
EXAMPLES OF EPITHELIUM
|
Simple squamous (one layer with flat cells): Transport
Stratified squamous: (Several layers of flat cells). Protection Simple columnar : (One layer of column looking cells).Line stomach and intestines. goblet cells. Specialized for absorption Stratified transitional: stretch/bladder Pseudostratified : ( one layer but seems more)Lines trachea Simple cuboidal: (one layer, cube shape) secretory activity. |
|
MUCOUS MEMBRANE
|
•Line body surfaces that open directly to the exterior
•Produce mucus, a thick secretion that keeps the membranes soft and moist •Cilia can for secretions outward Type of epithelial Membrane |
|
EPITHELIUM CLASSIFICATION BY SHAPE
|
Squamous: flat and irregular
Cuboidal: Square Columnar: long, tall and narrow Transitional |
|
PACINIAN CORPUSCLE
|
capable of detecting pressure
|
|
EPITHELIUM CLASSIFICATION BY ARRANGEMENT
|
Simple: one layer
Stratified: more than one layer Pseudostratified: only one layer but seems like more |
|
EPIDERMIS
|
Outermost and thinnest primary layer of skin
several layers of stratified squamous epithelium Stratum germinativum/ basal: Innermost layer of cells that continually reproduce, and new cells move toward the surface Stratum corneum: Outermost layer of keratin-filled cells Pigment-containing layer-epidermal layer that contains pigment cells called melanocytes, which produce the brown pigment melanin. Gives skin color |
|
DERMIS
|
-true skin
connective tissue contains nerve endings, muscle fibers, hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and many blood vessels |
|
STRATUM CORNEUM
|
Outermost layer of keratin-filled cells
|
|
HYPODERMIS
|
•Connects the skin to the surface muscles
•Loose connective tissue •Adipose (fat) tissue, adipocytes •Blood vessels •Nerves and nerve endings |
|
STRATUM CORNEUM
|
Outermost layer of keratin-filled cells
|
|
STRATUM GERMINATIVUM OR BASAL
|
Innermost layer of cells that continually reproduce, and new cells move toward the surfaceAs cells approach the surface, they are filled with keratin and eventually, they die as they approach the surface
|
|
CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE
|
Cover the surface of the body. They consist of stratified squamous epithelium and the underlying connective tissues. Cutaneous membranes are thick, relatively waterproof, and dry.
|
|
ERECTOR PILI
|
Small muscles which attach to the hair follicles Contraction causes the hairs to stand on end - known colloquially as goose bumps.
|
|
SEBACEOUS GLAND
|
Type of Apocrine Gland
Secrete oil or sebum for hair and skin secretions increases during adolescence secretion regulated by sex hormones blackhead Secretes vernix caseosa inutero |
|
SUDORIFEROUS GLAND
|
Eccrine sweat glands
Most numerous, important, and wide-spread of the sweat glands Produce perspiration or sweat, which flows out through pores on skin surface body heat regulation |
|
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
|
Transitional epithelium type of tissue consisting of layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand. usually found in the urinary tract, bladder. Cuboidal that when streched look squamous.
|
|
SEROUS MEMBRANES
|
Serous
•Membrane-simple squamous epithelium on a connective tissue basement membrane •Do not connect with the outside •Serous fluid to avoid friction •Mesothelium: name given to epithelial layer Types 1. Parietal-line walls of body cavities 2. Visceral-cover organs found in body cavities |
|
TYPE OF VOLUNTARY TISSUE
|
Skeletal
•Attaches to bones •Also called striated or voluntary •Control is voluntary •Striations apparent when viewed under a microscope |
|
TYPES OF INVOLUNTARY TISSUE
|
Cardiac (myocardium)
Function is to pump blood (involuntary) Smooth muscle Involuntary muscle Surrounds hollow organs |
|
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
|
•Most abundant
•Supports, binds, forms framework •Relatively few cells in intercellular matrix •Main fiber is collagen |
|
SOFT CONNECTIVE TISSUE
|
Areloar:glue that holds organs together
Adipose (fat):Lipid storage is primary function |
|
FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE (DENSE)
|
Tendon – attach muscle to bone
Ligaments – attach bone to bone Fascia-bands or sheets that support organs, prevents them from moving |
|

•Secretions carried by bloodstream to the rest of body •Secretions are called hormones which affect target tissues |
|
EXOCRINE GLAND
|
•Have ducts
•Effect in limited area •Carry secretions away from the glands •Act in a limited area •E.g Sebaceous oil gland, lacrimal gland. |
