9/23 Class Lecture Chapter 4 Flashcards
Where do tissues fall on the organization chain
after the first level of life, cells
individual body cells are
specialized
how are individual body cells specialized
Each type performs specific functions that maintain homeostasis
what is due to the specific functions of cells
specific structure is because of specific function
what is an example of interrelationship
structure allows for function
tissues
Groups of cells similar in structure that perform common or related function
histology
study of tissues
what are the types of primary tissues
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
what do epithelial tissues do
cover or lines
forms boundaries between different environments protects, secretes, absorbs, filters
where can epithelial tissues be
exterior or interior
skin
what do connective tissues do
support
links body tissues together
support protects binds other tissues together
what do muscle tissues do
produce movement
muscles contracting with force
contracts to cause movement
what do nerve tissues do
controls everything going on inside the cell
transmits chemical impulses
internal communication
what types of tissues do plants have
epithelial and connective
which tissue is the most diverse
connective
where are nervous tissues found
brain, spinal cord, nerves
what muscles are included in muscular tissues
Muscles attached to bones (skeletal)
Muscles of heart (cardiac)
Muscles of walls of hollow organs (smooth
examples of epithelial tissues
the lining of digestive tract organs and other hollow organs skin surface (epidermis)
where are connective tissues found
bones
tendons
fats and other soft padding tissue
what must tissues go through before they can be viewed under a microscope
the tissue is fixed, cut, and stained
what does it mean that the tissue was fixed
preserved through a lot of treatment
what does a tissue go through when it is cut
Sliced thin enough to transmit light or electrons
microtone-slicing machine with a big blade
tissue is embedded in wax
what does a tissue do when it is stained
enhanced contrast
certain parts will absorb more stain than others
what are the 2 main types of epithelial tissues
covering and lining epithelial
glandular epithelial
