question
Body Tissues
answer
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Nervous
question
Epithelial
answer
oForms the linings, coverings, and glandular tissue of the body, protects underlying structures, act as barriers, passage and excretion of substances Consists of layers of cells (one kind of cells inside & a different kind outside) Cells are packed tightly together to form continuous sheets
question
Connective
answer
oProtects, supports, and binds together other body tissues Made up of different types of cells in varying amounts of a nonliving substance around these cells called the matrix. This allows it to fill spaces of various shapes/sizes
question
Examples of Connective Tissue
answer
•Bone (spongy and compact) •Cartilage- lines bones, vertebral discs, and ends of ribs •Adipose- fat •Blood- liquid matrix •Loose- fills spaces, attaches skin to tissue •Dense- tendons, ligaments, vocal chords, arteries
question
Muscle
answer
oSpecialized to contract and cause movement and generate heat. Skeletal muscle- long, cylindrical, striated, multi-nuclei Cardiac muscle- short, branched, striated, one-nuclei Smooth muscle- short, spindle shaped, non-striated, central nuclei
question
Nervous
answer
oComposed of neurons that receive and send electrical signals in the body Respond to stimuli and transmits impulses and together with supporting cells make up the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
question
Skeletal System Functions
answer
1.Support a.Bone- bears weight and is the supporting tissue of the body. b.Cartilage- provides firm and flexible support (ears, nose, and trachea). c.Ligaments- fibrous connective tissue that holds bones together. 2.Protection a.Protects underlying organs (like yo ribs) 3.Movement a.Tendons attach muscles to bones and move them 4.Storage a.Some minerals in the blood are taken into bone and stored. Fat is also stored in bone cavities, which also provide great shock absorption. 5.Blood Cell Production a.Bone marrow inside bone gives rise to blood cells and platelets.
question

answer
Skull, Vertebral Column, Thoracic Cage, Sternum
question
Skull
answer
o2 Parietal bones - big ones on the upper sides of the head o2 Temporal bones - sides of head o1 Frontal bone- forehead o1 Occipital bone- back of the head oSphenoid bone- in front of the temporal bones (butterfly shaped) oZygomatic bone- cheekbones. oMaxilla- Upper jaw with teeth oMandible- lower jaw with teeth

Thoracic Cage
answer
oRibs (24, 12 pairs) 7 True Ribs •Attach directly to the sternum •The first 4 have their own independent connections 3 False Ribs •Attach indirectly to the cartilage 2 Floating Ribs (also false, but they're special) •Do not attach to the sternum
question

answer
Manubrium Body Xiphoid Process
question

question
Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle (4 bones)
answer
o2 scapula (shoulder blades)- flat triangular shape The point of the blade is the acromion process; where the clavicle articulates o2 clavicles (collar bones) These attach to the sternum- the only connection of the scapula to the skeleton.

question
Foot
answer
5 metatarsals and 5 phalanges
question
Forensic Anthropology of Sex
answer
•Determined by skull or pelvis oFemale- Skull: round eye sockets, v-shaped mandible, smoother frontal bone Pelvis: rounded pelvis, wider pubic arch oMale Skull: square eye sockets, u-shaped mandible, pronounced frontal bone, heart shaped pelvis, angled-in coccyx
question
Forensic Anthropology of Race
answer
•Determined best by skull oCaucasoid More "surprised" eye sockets, forehead aligns with nose and chin in a straight line oNegroid More square eye sockets, forehead more pronounced, mandible more pronounced oMongoloid More rectangular eye sockets, nose is more vertical, chin is receding
question
Forensic Anthropology of Age
answer
•Determined by Humerus or Femur or Tibia oCheck for fused bones
question
Forensic Anthropology of Height
answer
•Determined best by Femur oLength
question

question
DNA is composed of:
answer
Nucleic Acids, Deoxyribose, Phosphate Backbone
question
Nucleotides
answer
Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, Cytocine A to T and C to G
question

answer
for every 1,000 nucleotides inherited; there is one site of variation
question
Restriction Enzyme
answer
Restriction Endonucleases
question
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
answer
specific fragments of DNA cut by restriction enzymes. They are PALINDROMIC
question
Nomenclature of Restriction Enzymes
answer
oFirst Italicized letter is the GENUS oSecond and third italicized letters are the SPECIES oAdditional letter indicates the STRAIN oRoman numerals denote the SEQUENCE that they've been isolated at
question
Gel Electrophoresis
answer
•used to identify the different fragment sizes and the patterns they generate •DNA is negatively charged so it moves towards the positive side •Larger fragments travels less distance than smaller fragments (rock vs. pebble)
question
