Q

skeletal muscle tissue
-where its attached and what it does
-striated or not
-how many nuclei and where is the location of the nuclei

A

-attaches to bones where it contracts to allow for skeleton movement
- striated and multinucleate
-nuclei are at the cell periphery

Q

Cardiac muscle tissue
-where its attached and what it does
-striated or not
-how many nuclei and where is the location of the nuclei

A
  • found in the heart
    -contracts to pump blood through blood vessels
    -Striated and branched
  • single nucleus that is located centrally

Q

Smooth muscle tissue
-where its located
-striated or not
-voluntary or involuntary

A

-found within blood vessels, intestines, and organs
-unstriated which allows for tissue to contract in multiple directions
-involuntary

16
Q

Electrical impulses in neural tissue rely on

A

the exchange of sodium and potassium across the cellular membrane to generate action potentials

17
Q

what is the major consumer of cellular ATP

A

resetting the na and k concentrations across the membrane

18
Q

in a cell membrane what is the extracellular and intacellular charge

A

extracellular = positive
intracellular = negative

19
Q

neuron

A

electrically functional cells of the nervous system

20
Q

functions of the neuroglia cells include

A

-insulating the neuron axon in myelin to speed up transmission of action potentials
-forming the blood-brain barrier
-patrolling as immune cells

21
Q

where are neurons and neuroglia found

A
  • brain
    -spinal cord
    -and peripheral nerves
22
Q

neuroglia

A

surrounds the neuron cells bodies

23
Q

neuron cells

A

receive information at the cell body, brought to it through the dendrites

24
Q

cell body

A

integrates the information brought in through different dendrites to decide on an action

25
action potential is created
created when stimulation arrives through the dentrite and a signal is initiated
26
What is an action potential
is a change in electrical charge that travels away from the cell body along the axon
27
synapse
-neuron axon ends here -allows for communication with muscles, glands, and other neurons
28
neurotransmitters
release by the synapses and carries a signal to the post-synaptic cell
29
how often do neuron cells divide
rarely
30
how often do glial cells divide
often
31
Hyperplasia
overgrowth of normal cells
32
dysplasia
overgrowth of abnormal cells (not cancer)
33
metaplasia
cells become a type of cell they were not originally
34
what are the two main processes of cell death
apoptosis and necrosis
35
apoptosis
cells release organized apoptotic bodies that are not inflammatory
36
necrosis
cell death is unorganized and draws an inflammatin response
