histology
the study of microscopic body tissue
compact bone tissue
ring shaped
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
looks multilayered
adipose tissue
no visible nucleus
cardiac muscle
striated, darkened intercalated discs
nervous tissue
long projections
connective blood tissue
divit in middle of cells
simple cuboidal epithelium
nucleus in middle, cube-shaped cells, cells close together
simple tissue
single layered
stratified
multi layered (like the skin)
functions of epithelial tissue
protection, absorption, filtration and secretion
eipdermis layers
stratum basale
stratum spinosum
stratum granulosum
stratum lucidum (only in palms and foot soles)
stratum corneum
dermis layers
reticular papillary
reticular layer
blood vessels, sweat and oil glands
papillary layer
capillaries
skin layers
epidermis, dermis, hypodermis
function of a sebaceous gland
produce oil/sebum for skin and hair lubrication; kills bacteria
function of a sudoriferous gland
produces sweat to increase heat loss, excrete waste, and prevent bacteria
melanocyte
skin pigment- produces melanin
melanoma
skin cancer
nail diagram
first degree burn
only epidermis skin red and swolen
second degree burn
epitermis and superficial layer of dermis skin red with blisters
third degree burn
destroys entire skin layer; burned area painless colored grey/white or black
wound healing steps
inflammation granulation tissue forms regeneration/ fibrosis
inflammation
capillaries become permiable, clotting proteins migrate to areas from blood stream, clot walls off injured area
granulation tissue forms
growth of new capillaries, rebuild collagen fibers
regeneration
replacement of destroyed tissue by the same type of cells
fibrosis
repaired by dense (fibrous) connective sissue (scar tissue)
the rule of nines
method to determine extent of burns body divided into 11 areas each representing 9% of body area critical if:
over 25% of body has 2nd degree burns
over 10% of body has 3rd degree burns
3rd degree burns on face, hands, or feet
ABCDE method
Asymmetry - sides of mole doesnt match Border irregularity - borders not smooth Color - different colors in pigmented areas Diameter - spot larger than 6mm in diameter Evolving - mark changes over time
basale cell carcinoma
least malignant, most common, overlaps deepest layer pf epidermis
squamous cell carcinoma
can metastisize to lymph nodes; sun-induced
malignant carcinoma
most deadly, occurs in melanocytes, metastasizes quickly to lymph nodes and blood vessels
pseudostratified
looks multilayered but is simple
squamous
flattened
cuboidal
cube-like
columnar
column-like
ciliated
material movement (projections)
nonciliated
absorption and secretion
extracellular matrix
nonliving material that surrounds living cells binds tissues, body support, protection, etc.
blood
extracellular matrix = plasma transport gases and nutrients
bone (osseous tissue)
bone cells (osteocytes) in lacunae (cavities) protect and support body
cartilage
hyaline - most common, rubbery- nose, trachea, larynx, fetal skeleton elastic (earlobe) fibrocartilage (vertabrae discs)
Dense CT
tendons, ligaments, dermis
loose CT
adipose tissue provides protection ,insulation, and energy storage
skeletal muscle
straiated, multinucleated, long, cylindrical voluntary, pulls on bone and skin
cardiac muscle
straited, single nuclei, cells connected by intercalated discs involuntary - heart
smooth muscle
no visible straitions, single nucleus, spindle shaped cells involuntary, organ and blood vessel walls
nervous tissue
neurons and nerves support cells large matrix with well-shaped bodies send impulses to other areas of body
hypodermis
not technically skin, anchors to underlying organs mostly adiopse loose CT tissue
hair
hair produced by follicle; hard, keratinized epithelial cells arrector pili muscle pulls hair up when cold
erythrocytes
red blood cells, carry oxygen from lungs and CO2 to lungs
benign
doesnt spread
malignant
metastisized, spreads
