Main Functions of the Integumentary System - ANS-- Protect against infection/dehydration
- Regulate body temp
-Absorption
- Vitamin D production
- Collection of sensory information
2 Main Types of Membranes - ANS--Epithelial
-Connective tissue
Epithelial Membranes - ANS-1. Cutaneous (connective tissue layer/skin, packed cells that
produce lubricants and protect deeper tissue)
2. Serous (Parietal lines body cavity, visceral lines organs within a cavity, serous fluid is
secreted and prevents damage as organs move against one another)
3. Mucous (lines the insides of the organs, epithelial cells vary depending on the function)
Connective Tissue Membranes - ANS-1. Synovial membrane (surrounds joint cavities)
2. Meninges (membranes covering brain spinal cord)
3. Fascia (fibrous sheets/bands that hold everything in place)
- Superficial ( underlying skin)
- Deep (covers and separates)
Organelles that a new protein passes through from time of synthesis to leaving the cell? -
ANS-Ribosome - Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum-Golgi Body - Cell Membrane
What is osmosis? - ANS-Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Muscle cells require energy. What is this energy called? What organelles produce it? -
ANS-ATP. Mitochondria
Main function of epithelial cells? - ANS-Protective Covering
How are epithelial cells classified? - ANS-Shape and number of layers (simple or stratified)
3 Types of connective tissue and a feature of each - ANS-Loose - Packing between organs
Fibrous - For holding things in place
Bone - Solid matrix from strength
Cartilage - Supportive flexible
Is your thumb proximal or distal with respect to the shoulder? - ANS-Distal
Prone position, stomach facing down or up? - ANS-Down
Heart superior or inferior to belly button? - ANS-Superior
What organs are found in each of the following body cavities? Cranial, vertebral, thoracic, and
abdominopelvic. - ANS-Cranial - Organ
Vertebral - Spinal Cord
Thoracic - Lungs
Abdominopelvic - G.I, Urinary, and Reproductive organs.
What is the mediatsium? - ANS-An area around the heart, esophagus, and major blood vessels
travel through.
Why is anatomical position important? - ANS-It's a point of reference used to describe the
specific location of structures
What is homeostasis? - ANS-Maintaining a stable internal environment
Abduction vs Adduction - ANS-Abduction - Away from midline (Away from the body)
Adduction - Towards midline (Into the body)
If I am pigeon toed, am I medial or lateral rotation? - ANS-Medial Rotation
Movement doing is hula-hooping? Or skipping? - ANS-Circumduction
Function of the integumentary system - ANS-Protection against infection, dehydration,
regulation of body temp, absorption, elimination of waste, vit-D production.
Where is the serous membrane found? - ANS-Around the lungs, heart, and lining of abd cavity
and organs
Difference between synovial membrane, meninges, and fascia? - ANS-Synovial - Surrounds
joints
Meninges - Surrounds the brain and spinal cord
Fascia - Under the skin and covering the skeletal muscles
How does the skin regulate body temperature? - ANS-Blood vessels in the skin release or hold
in heat, depending upon what the body needs at the time
