Epithelium
the covering of the internal and the external organs. Also the lining of the vessels, body cavities, glands and organs.
Osteocytes
the cells transfer calcium from the blood to the bones
pulmonary arteries
transfers low oxygen blood to the heart
abdominopelvic arteries
body cavities that consists of the abnominal and pelvic cavity
regeneration
growth anew of lost tissue or destroyed parts of organs
squamous cell
cells built up in layers
tricuspid valve
tranfers blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle
coronary arteries
supply heart with necessary oxygen and nutrients
pericardial cavity
a potential space between the parietal perdium and viseceral layer
cuboidal cells
cells with a cube like shape
superior vena cava
carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the hearts right atrium
inferior vena cava
the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body
bicuspid valve
valve in the heart that lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle
pleural cavities
body cavity that contain the lungs
columnar cells
epithelial cells whose heights are at least twice their width
thoracic cavity
chamber of the human body that is protected by the thoracic wall
goblet cells
the cavity enclosed by the ribs betweent he diaphram and the neck and containing the lungs and the heart
semilunar valves
present in the arteries leaving the heart and they prevent blood from flowing back from the arteries into the ventricles
erythrocytes
large blood cells in the blood that transport oxygen from the lungs to all of hte living tissue in the body
exocrine glands
glands that secrete their products into ducts
pulmonary valve
the semilunar valve of the hear that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
heart attack
bllod supply to the heart is interrupted - blockage of the coronary artery by cholesterol and white blood cells
plasma
the clear yellowish fluid portion of the blood in which cells are suspended
endocrine cell
small organs that release hormones
aortic valve
lies between the left ventricle and the aorta
stroke
lack of blood supply to the brain causes this.
platelets
involved in the cellular mechanisms of the primary homostasis leading to the formation of blood clots
adipose cell
the cell that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat
diastole
the period of time when the heart fills with blood
systole
the concentration of heart chambers driving blood out of the chamber
angina pectoris
a severe chest pain due to lack of blood
leukocytes
cells of the immune system defending the body against infectious disease and foreign material
chondrocytes
the only cells found in cartilage
artherosclerosis
occlusion of blood vessels by white blood cells and connective tissue which may lead to a heart attack
hematopoesis
the formation of blood cellular components
sphygmomanometer
blood pressure meter
EPITHELIAL TISSUE 1
squamous - irregularly flat cells and can be found in kidneys
EPITHELIAL TISSUE 2
cuboidal - cells are shaped similar to a cube and can be found in the kidney
EPITHELIAL TISSUE 3
columnar - cells that are taller then they are wide
EPITHELIAL TISSUE 4
transitional - lines organs that can stretch
EPITHELIAL TISSUE 5
a single layer of cells touching the basal lamina
MUSCLE TISSUE 1
skeletal muslce - anochered by tendons to the bone and helps in locomotion
MUSCLE TISSUE 2
smooth muscle - found in organ such as the esophagus
MUSCLE TISSUE 3
cardiac muscle - found only in the heart
NERVE TISSUE 1
unipolar neurons - sensory neurons
NERVE TISSUE 2
multipolar neurons - motor neurons
NERVE TISSUE 3
bipolar neurons - found in the retna of the eye
ORGANS 1
circulatory system - pumping blood
ORGANS 2
digestive system - processing food
ORGANS 3
endocrine system - communication in the body using hormones
ORGANS 4
integumentary system - skin hair and nail
ORGANS 5
lymphatic system - transfer of lymph
ORGANS 6
muscular system - movement within muscles
ORGANS 7
nervous system - porcessing info with the brain
ORGANS 8
reproductive system - the sex orgrans
ORGANS 9
respiratory system - organs used for breathing
ORGANS 10
skeletal system - structural support
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
areolar, adipose, reticular, hyaline, elastic
The solubility of water is due to
The presence of oxygen
