A&P 1 L 3 Flashcards
Branched duct leads to surface
Compound glands
Unbranched duct leads to surface
Simple glands
Watery secretion with high enzyme concentration
Serous cells
Secrete thick mucous that is rich in glycoproteins “mucin”
Mucous cells
What granular secretion glands stays in tact and release fluid without loss (majority of secretory cells)
Merocrine glands
What type of epithelial gland Secrete products thru ducts?
Exocrine
What type of epithelial gland Secrete products directly into tissue fluid or blood? (Ductless)
Endocrine
Types of multicellular glands
Simple & compound
What are the classification of gland shapes
Tubular & alveolar
Consist of epithelial-lined tubes
Tubular glands
Terminal portions form saclike dilutions
Alveolar/Acrinar glands
Major cell types
Resident & Wandering
Types of resident cells
Fibroblast, macrophages & mast cells
Example of wandering cells
White blood cells
Types of connective tissue fibers
Collagenous, elastic & reticular
Characteristics of connective tissues
- cells are widely scattered
- usually has a good direct blood supply
- matrix
Substance that suspends cells in tissue
Matrix
3 types of matrix
Liquid/fluid
Solid
Gel
Big scavenger cells
Macrophages
Types of mast cells
Heparin
Histamine
Growth Factor
Blood thinner
Heparin
Defense against allergens
Histamines
Produces protein fiber cells
Fibroblast
Found in constant #’s most of the time
Resident cells
Temporary residents
Wandering cells
- made of collagen
- strongest fiber
- “white fibers”
- non elastic
Collagenous
- made of elastin
- yellow fibers
- elastic
Elastic
- made of collagen
- really thin
- web-like
- support/protect organs
Reticular fibers
Types of connective tissue
Loose, adipose, fibrous(dense), elastic, & reticular
Binds muscle to bone
Tendons
Binds bone to bone
Ligaments
Connective tissue that is found in tendons & ligaments
Fibrous(dense) C.T
Reticular Connective Tissue located where
- omentum
- mesentary
Elastic Connective Tissue located where
Framework of the ears & larynx
Hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, & fibrocartilage are what type of connective tissues & has what type of matrix
Cartilagenous; gel
Shock absorber for structures that are subjected to pressure; protective cushions between joints in knees and between bones in the pelvic
Fibrocartilage
Most common type of cartilagenous connective tissue
Hyaline cartilage C.T
Cartilage cells are called what & found where
Chondrocytes; lacunae
Bone cells called; type of matrix
Osteocytes; solid
Fat cells are called
Adipocytes
Rings of bones are called; spaces on the rings are called
Lamellae; lacunae
Tiny channels are called; coming from the center of of the bone is called
Canaliculi; Haversian canal
Unit of compact bone
Osteon
What is the hardest substance in the body?
Enamel
What are the 2 types of bone?
Spongy & compact
What does the WBCs & macrophages do when there’s an inflammation?
Localize the the injury
Movement of WBCs thru blood vessel walls
Diapedesis
What type of marrow is at the end of the long bones?
Red bone marrow
Blood cell producing tissue
Hematopoietic tissue
Types of muscle tissue
Skeletal, smooth, cardiac
