what is Human Tissue Act 2008? - Answers 1. voluntary donation of bodies
2.requires dual signed consent by the donor and an immediate family member
3.most bodies are held for -18 months, howeve body parts can be kept for longer periods for
teaching and research
what are the 4 basic tissues in the body - Answers 1. Epithelium
2. Connective tissue
3. Muscular tissue
4. Nervous tissue
what does epithelial tissue include - Answers epithelia and glands
glands = exocrine glands and endocrine glands
functions of epithelial tissue - Answers protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion,
sensory reception
3 types of connective tissue - Answers connective tissue proper (loose and dense) , fluid
connective tissue(blood and lymph), supporting connective tissue(cartilage and bone)
functions of connective tissue - Answers physical protection, support and structural framework,
binding of structures, storage, transport, immune protection
what are the 3 types of muscle tissue - Answers skeletal, cardiac, smooth
functions of muscle tissue - Answers movement, maintenance of posture, joint stabilization,
heat generation
functions of nervous tissue - Answers transmits nerve impulses and processes information
Homeostasis Feedback - Answers when the controlled variable moves too far from set point
and responses from the body attempt to move the variable back to 'normal'
homeostasis feedforward - Answers usually when there is an anticipation of an event that will
alter a controlled variable, so you may conciously (or unconciously) do something to minimize
the effect
anatomical position - Answers erect, feet forward, arms at side with palms facing forward, head
,facing forward
superior - Answers toward the head
anterior - Answers toward the front
posterior - Answers toward the back
distal - Answers farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the
body trunk
inferior - Answers away from the head
proximal - Answers Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to
the body trunk
medial - Answers toward the midline
lateral - Answers away from the midline
deep - Answers away from the surface
superficial - Answers near the surface
coronal - Answers front and back
sagittal - Answers left to right
transverse - Answers Divides body into upper and lower parts
flexion - Answers Decreases the angle of a joint
extension - Answers increases the angle of a joint
dorsifelxion - Answers movement that bends the foot upward at the ankle
plantarflexion - Answers Ankle movement pointing the foot downward
abduction - Answers Movement away from the midline of the body
adduction - Answers Movement toward the midline of the body
circumduction - Answers moving the arm in a circle around the shoulder
rotation - Answers turning around its own axis
pronation - Answers palm down
supination - Answers Palm up
, inversion - Answers turning inward
eversion - Answers turning outward
what are the functions of the skeleton - Answers the functions of the skeleton are physical
support, protection of delicate organs, source of blood cells and red blood cell formation in
bone marrow
what are the 2 types of bone tissue - Answers compact and cancellous (trabecular) bone
what is compact bone - Answers dense outer layer of bone
-strong
-good at transmitting force
what is cancellous bone - Answers Spongy or trabecular bone
-light spongey bone
-shock-absorbing
-resists and channels forces that come from multiple direction
long bone - Answers -longer than they are wide
-composed of wider epiphyses and a longer narrower diaphyses
-act as levers for movement
-thicker compact bone in diaphyses
-mostly limb bones
short bones - Answers -close to equal width and length
-weight bearing (from all directions)
-mostly cancellous bone
eg carpals and tarsals
flat bones - Answers -function usually for muscle attachment
-also protection
-thin plates of compact bone (some cancellous too)
irregular bones - Answers bones of the vertebrae and face
