6Tissues & Membranes Flashcards
Avascular and nourished by underlying connective tissue; attached to a basement membrane; squamous cuboidal or columnar
Epithelial Tissue
Simple or stratified; Carcinoma rises from this type of tissue; primary functions: secretion, absorption, excretion, and protection
Epithelial Tissue
Forms epidermis; Endocrine and Exocrine glands arise from this tissue; Transitional; found in stretchy organs such as urinary bladder
Epithelial Tissue
2 surfaces: one is unattached or free ( surface of outer skin & lining of mouth);
Epithelial Tissue
Osseous Tissue; Blood, bone, cartilage, and adipose tissue; Greatest amount of intracellular matrix
Connective Tissue
Forms ligaments that attach muscle to bone; Dense fibrous, reticular, and areolar; Specialized type of this tissue stores fat
Connective Tissue
Sarcoma arises from this type of tissue; Most abundant of 4 tissue types; Chondrocytes and Osteocytes
Connective Tissue
Binds together parts of the body; examples include ligaments, tendons, capsules and fascia
Connective Tissue
Membrane lining all body cavities that open to the outside of the body
Mucous Membrane
Lines mouth, nose, and respiratory passages
Mucous Membrane
Connective tissue membrane that lines the cavities of the joints; secretes synovial fluid
Synovial Membrane
Skin
Cutaneous Membrane
Serous membrane that covers the outside of each lung
Visceral Membrane
Serous membrane that lines the inner wall of the abdominopelvic cavity
Parietal Peritoneum
Serous membrane that lines organs of abdominopelvic cavity
Visceral Peritoneum
Serous membrane that lines walls of thoracic cavity
Parietal Pleura
Synovial, Periosteum, Perichondrium, Meninges, Fascia
Connective Tissue Membrane
Lines the mouth, nose, and respiratory passages
Mucous Membrane
Sling that supports the heart
Pericardium
Loose Connective Tissue
Areolar, Adipose, Reticular
Binds together, protects, cushions “tissue glue”
Areolar
Cushions, insulates, stores fat
Adipose
Forms internal framework of lymphoid organs
Reticular
Dense Fibrous Connective
Tendons, ligamens, capsules, and fascia; Skin
Binds structures together
Dense Fibrous Connective: Tendons, ligamens, capsules, and fascia; Skin
Cartilage
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage
Tendons
Dense fibrous connective tissue that attach muscles to bones
Ligaments
Dense fibrous connective tissues that cross joints and attach bones to eachother
Nervous Tissue cells consist of
Neurona and Neuroglia
Neuron has 3 parts
Dendrites (receive info) Cell body (contains nucleus) Axon (transmits info away from cell body)
Neuroglia
Cells that support and take care of neurons (glue like)
Visceral Muscle (smooth muscle)
found in walls of organs
Epithelial Membranes
Cutaneous membrane, mucous membranes, and serous membranes
Serous Membranes
Line ventral body cavities; not open to exterior of the body
Parietal Layer
Lines walls of cavity
Visceral Layer
Covers the outside of an organ
