partial-thickness burns
Mature skeletal muscle tissue has some ability to regenerate because if its ____________ ________.
satellite cells
Dermis- Reticular layer- 80%
-Thick layer of dense irregular connective tissue - Its extracellular matrix contains thick bundles of interlacing collagen fibers (strength and resilience) and elastic fibers (stretch-recoil) that run in many different planes. - Site of Cleavage/Tension Lines and Flexure Lines, rich in nerve endings, and blood vessels (dermal plexus & sub papillary plexus), and embedded within the dermis are the appendages of the skin.
The skin performs a variety of functions:
1. Protection - heat, infection, cushions, chemicals, abrasions, UV rays 2. Water retention 3. Insulator- regulate loss of heat from body 4. Excretion through sweat 5. Sensory receptors
Myopathy (path = disease)
Any disease of muscle
Boils and Carbuncles
Infection and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands that has spread into the underlying hypodermis. A boil can be likened to a giant pimple; carbuncles are composite boils. The common cause is bacterial infection.

sub-papillary plexus
The 2 types of cartilaginous joints are:
synchondrosis and symphysis
Importance of satellite cells in skeletal muscle growth:
- During youth, satellite cells fuse into the existing muscle fibers to help them grow. - Following injury to a muscle, satellite cells proliferate in the damaged muscle tissue and start producing proteins to repair the injury. - Some satellite cells fuse with surrounding muscle fibers; others remain as satellites. - The regeneration capacity of skeletal muscle tissue is not complete, and severely damaged tissue is replaced primarily by scar tissue.
Vitiligo
An abnormality of skin pigmentation due to a loss of melanocytes, characterized by light spots surrounded by areas of normally pigmented skin. It can be cosmetically disfiguring, especially in dark-skinned people. An autoimmune disorder.
Alopecia

The layer that would be found between the Stratum __________ and Stratum ____________ in thick skin is the Stratum Lucidum.
Granulosum, Cornem
Melanoma: where it arises, what it looks like, growth and metastasis, and cure
- a cancer of melanocytes often arising from existing moles, usually appearing as an expanding dark patch - the most dangerous kind of skin cancer - melanoma cells metastasize rapidly - most people do not survive this cancer if the lesion has grown over 4 mm thick. - resistant to chemotherapy and current immunotherapy
Squamous cell carcinoma: where it arises, what it looks like, growth and metastasis, and cure
- arises from the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum - the lesion appears as a scaly, irregular, reddened papule (small, rounded elevation) - tends to grow rapidly and metastasize if not removed - cure by surgical removal in 99% of cases
The epidermis is avascular, keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue that contains 4 distinct types of cells:
1. Keratinocytes- most abundant; produces keratin, a tough fibrous protein giving the epidermis its protective properties, and are connected to one another by desmosomes 2. Dendritic cells (Langerhans cells/ macrophages)- initiate immune response 3. Tactile epithelial cells (or Merkel cells)- receptors in touch; few in number 4. Melanocytes (melanin cells)- spider shaped cells responsible for making the dark skin pigment melanin. Melanin is phagocytized by keratinocytes
What are the 6 types of synovial shapes in the body and the movements they allow?
1. Plane Joint: articular surfaces are flat planes, short gliding movements are allowed, gliding does not involve rotation around any axis. Ex) inter-tarsal and inter-carpal joints, vertebra 2. Hinge Joint: cylindrical end of one bone fits into a trough on another bone. Angular movement (flexion and extension) is allowed in one plane. Ex) elbow, ankle, knee, and joints between phalanges. 3. Pivot Joint: rounded end of one bone fits into a ring that is formed by another bone plus an encircling ligament. Rotation is allowed. Ex) proximal radio-ulnar joint, joint between atlas and axis. 4. Condyloid Joint: egg-shaped articular surface of one bone fits into an oval convex surface. Allows moving bone to travel side to side (abduction-adduction) and back and forth (flexion-extension). Ex) metacarpo-phalangeal joints (knuckles) 5. Saddle Joint: each articular surface has concave and convex surfaces. Allows moving bone to travel side to side (abduction-adduction) and back and forth (flexion-extension). Ex) carp-metacarpal joints of the thumbs. 6. Ball-and-socket Joint: spherical head of one bone fits into round socket of another. Allows moving bone to travel side to side (abduction-adduction), back and forth (flexion-extension), and rotation. Ex) shoulder and hip joints.

1. plane joints 2. hinge joints 3. pivot joints 4. condylar joints 5. saddle joints 6. ball-and-socket joints
Psoriasis
A chronic inflammatory condition characterized by reddened epidermal papules covered with dry, silvery scales. The scales result from an over proliferation of the epidermis, and the pink color is due to widened capillaries in the dermis. Relatively common, it may be an autoimmune condition triggered by bacterial products. One effective treatment for psoriasis employs a drug that slows epidermal growth and that is activated by exposure to UV light.
Rosacea
A chronic skin eruption produced by dilated small blood vessels of the face, particularly those of the nose and cheeks, causing flushing of the face. Papule's and acne-like pustules may or may not occur. More common in women, but tends to be more severe when it occurs in men. Cause is unknown, but stress, some endocrine disorders, and anything that produces flushing (hot beverages, alcohol, sunlight, etc.) can aggravate this condition.
Actinic Keratosis
A precancerous lesion of the skin composed of rough, scaly spots that can range in size from a pinhead to larger than a quarter. These lesions may feel like sandpaper and may look like an abrasion that does not heal. They are a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma and are common in sun-damaged skin. Treatment with creams or surgery removes the damaged cells. Once a lesion is diagnosed, screening for further lesions is essential.
ABCDE rule for recognizing melanoma:
A, Asymmetry: the two halves of the spot or mole do not match B, Border irregularity: the borders have indentations and notches C, Color: the pigment spot contains several colors, including blacks, browns, tans, and sometimes blues and reds D, Diameter: larger than 6mm E, Elevation: above the skin surface improves diagnosis
Angular movements: abduction and adduction (move a body part along a frontal plane)
Abduction is movement of a limb away from the body midline. Adduction is the opposite of abduction: the movement of a limb toward the body midline.
Sliding Filament Theory, step 2
Action potential triggers calcium ions to be released from the terminal cistern of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, allowing calcium ions to flood the sarcoplasm
In indirect attachments, the connective tissue extends well beyond the end of the muscle fibers to form either a cordlike tendon or a flat sheet called a(n) ___________________; connecting a muscle to the body part it moves.
Aponeurosis
Second-class lever system- arrangement and example:
Arrangement of the elements is fulcrum-load-effort. In the body: second-class leverage is exerted when you stand on tip-toe. The effort is exerted by the calf muscles pulling upward on the heel; the joints of the ball of the foot are the fulcrum; and the weight of the body is the load.
First-class lever system- arrangement and example:
Arrangement of the elements is load-fulcrum-effort. In the body: a first-class lever system raises your head off your chest. The posterior neck muscles provide the effort; the atlanto-occipital joint is the fulcrum; and the weight to be lifted is the facial skeleton.
The immediate threat to life from serious burns is a catastrophic loss of body fluids.
As fluid seeps from the burned surfaces, the body quickly loses water and essential salts. This dehydration in turn leads to fatal circulatory shock; that is, inadequate blood circulation caused by the reduction in blood volume.
Sliding Filament Theory, step 3
Calcium ions bind to troponin, troponin changes shape, removing the blocking action of tropomyosin, actin active sites are exposed
Angular movements: circumduction
Circumduction is moving a limb or finger so that it describes a cone in space. This is a complex movement that combines flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction in succession.
Sliding Filament Theory, step 4
Contraction; myosin cross bridges alternately attach to actin and detach, pulling the actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere. this ratchet movement is repeated many times during a single contraction. release of energy by ATP hydrolysis powers the cycling process. Power stroke causes filaments to slide.
4 Step Cycle of Thick-Thin Filament Interaction, step 3
Cross Bridge Detachment: When another ATP binds to the myosin head, the link between the myosin head and actin weakens, and the myosin head detaches
4 Step Cycle of Thick-Thin Filament Interaction, step 1
Cross Bridge Formation: The activated myosin head binds to actin, forming a cross bridge. Inorganic phosphate is released, and the bond between myosin and actin becomes stronger

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
The most common and most serious form of Muscular Dystrophy is _________ ___________ __________, which is inherited as a sex-linked recessive disease. This means that females carry and transmit the abnormal gene, but it is expressed almost exclusively in males. Is usually diagnosed when the boy is between 2 and 6 years old. Active, apparently normal children become clumsy and start to fall frequently as their muscles weaken. The disease progresses from the pelvic muscles to the shoulder muscles to the head and chest muscles. Victims rarely live past age 30 and usually die of respiratory infections or respiratory failure.

Fibromyalgia
Structural classifications of joints include:
Fibrous joints Cartilaginous joints Synovial joints

4 Step Cycle of Thick-Thin Filament Interaction, step 2
Power-Stroke: ADP is released and the activated myosin head pivots, sliding the thin myofilament toward the center of the sarcomere creating a ratchet-like movement
4 Step Cycle of Thick-Thin Filament Interaction, step 4
Reactivation of Myosin Head: ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and inorganic phosphate. The energy released during hydrolysis reactivates the myosin head, returning it to the cocked position
Sliding Filament Theory, step 5
Removal of calcium phosphate ions by active transport into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after the action potential ends
Rotation: medial rotation and lateral rotation
Rotation is the turning movement of a bone around the longitudinal axis. This motion occurs along the transverse plane. Rotation of the limbs may be directed toward the median plane or away from it. For example, in Medial Rotation of the lower limb, the limb's anterior surface turns toward the median plane of the body; Lateral Rotation is the opposite movement.
Cleavage Lines/Tension Lines occur in the reticular dermis, they are:
Separations or less dense regions between the collagen bundles form the invisible Cleavage Lines or Tension Lines of the skin which occur all over the body (they run longitudinally in the skin of the limbs and head and in circular patterns around the neck and trunk) and are important for surgeons to know so that incisions made parallel to these lines gape less and heal faster than incisions made across cleavage lines.
Cold Sores (Fever Blisters)
Small, painful, fluid-filled blisters that usually occur around the lips and in the mucosa in the mouth. They are caused by the herpes simplex virus, which localizes in nerve cells that supply the skin, where it remains dormant until activated by emotional upset, fever, or UV radiation.

Torn cartilage
cartilage tears in the knee (most common) often happen when a meniscus is simultaneously subjected to both high compression and shear stresses. For example, a tennis player lunging to return a ball can rotate the flexed knee medially with so much force that it tears both the joint capsule and the medial meniscus attached to it. Because cartilage is avascular, it can rarely repair itself; thus, torn cartilage usually stays torn.
The energy stored in this bond allows myosin to assume a _________ position (or "high energy" position).
cocked
Hypodermis aka Superficial Fascia aka Subcutaneous Layer
consists of both areolar and adipose connective tissue, but adipose tissue predominates. Besides storing fat, the Hypodermis anchors the skin to the underlying structures (mostly to muscles), but loosely enough that skin can slide relatively freely over those structures; ensuring many blows just glance off our bodies. Also a good insulator. Even though hypodermis is not part of integumentary system, it still shares some of the skin's functions
Third-degree burns
consume the entire thickness of the skin and thus are full-thickness burns. All dermis and epidermis is destroyed and some hypodermis. The burned area appears white, red, or blackened. Although the skin might eventually regenerate, it is usually impossible to wait for this because of fluid loss and infection.
