| Three layers of skin: | Epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer |
| What structures lie within the epidermis? | sensory receptors, and sweat pores ; outer layer of skin; composed primarily from dead keratinized cells to protect internals from bacteria and other pathogens |
| What structures/functions of the dermis? | Largest section; contains sebaceous gland (seb/o), arrector pili muscles for the hair, hair shafts (trich/o), nerve endings, and blood vessels |
| What structures /functions are in the subcutaneous layer? | convergence of nerves, veins, sweat glands, and arteries |
| what is melanin? | melan/o black pigment found in melanocytes that give skin/hair its dark color; helps protect against sun damage |
| what does the dermis do? | give the skin flexibility and strength, the cushion, and also provides sense of heat and touch |
| what are skin, hair, and nails made from? | Keratin |
| What is the gland that lubricates the skin? | Sebaceous gland |
| what is the purpose of the sebaceous gland? | to lubricate the skin |
| What are the three types of muscles? | Cardiac, skeletal, smooth |
| What is cardiac muscle? | highly specialized muscles used for pumping the blood through the heart |
| What does skeletal muscle do? | Provides protection to skeletal bones and some organs; voluntary movement and some involuntary, and reflexes to certain stimuli |
| What is the purpose of smooth muscle? | protection and movement of organs; all involuntary movement |
| What are the functions of bones? | support, movement, protection of organs, store minerals and calcium, also produces red blood cells. |
| What are bones held together by? | ligaments |
| what attaches a muscle to a bone? | tendons |
| what allows bones to move? | nerves tell muscles to move, then the muscle connects to a tendon that starts the bone movement, then cartilage between to joints of two bones allow for the bones to glide on each other, then ligaments allow both conjoining bones to move |
| name of finger bones | Phalanges (phalong/o) |
| Shoulder blade? | Scapula (scapul/o) |
| What is the clavicle? | the collar bone (the weakest bone in the human body) |
| what are the bones in the lower and upper extremeties? | Upper: humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges; Lower: femur, patella, fibia, tibia, calcaneus, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges |
| what is the common name for tibia? | the shin bone |
| what are the organs in the cardiovascular system? | vascular: arties, veins, capillaries; cardiovascular: heart and blood vessels |
| What do Cardiovascular technologists do? | allied health professionals who perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using ecg's, stress tests, cardiac catherization, and echocardiography |
| what is the muscle layer of the heart that pumps blood? | myocardium |
| What is an enlarged heart? | cardiomegaly |
| What is pericardium? | membrane enclosing the heart, consisting of an outer fibrous layer and inner double membranes of serous membrane |
| What are the heart valves? | Aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary |
| abnormal clotting condition | thrombosis or thrombocytosis |
| what is the formation of red blood cells called? | erythropoiesis |
| what is a blood mass? | hematoma |
| word roots pertaining to blood | hemat/o, hem/o, hematic |
