A&P Ch 5 Flashcards
Histology
primary tissue classes
epithelium, connective tissue, nervous tissue, muscular tissue
epithelial classes
simple, cuboidal, pseudostratified columnar, stratified
epithelial cell shapes
squamous, cuboidal, columnar
simple squamous
f= diffusion l=endothelium, alveoli, organ coverings
stratified squamous keratinized
f= protection, h2o conservation l=outer layer of skin
stratified squamous non-keratinized
f=protection l= one step into the body, vagina, anus, mouth, urethra, “sweaty sex”
simple cuboidal
f= absorption, secretion l= kidney tubules, bronchioles
stratified cuboidal
f= sweat production, production of sperm & eggs l= sweat glands, ovaries & testes
simple columnar
f= absorption, secretion l= intestines
simple pseudostratified
f= secrete & propel mucus l= trachea
stratified transitional
f= stretch to hold urine l= bladder & urethra
epithelial
composed of layers of closely spaced cells that cover organ surfaces, form glands, and serve for protection, secretion, and absorption. found in the epidermis, inner lining of the digestive tract, liver and other glands
connective
more matrix than cell volume, specialized to support, bind and protect organs, found in the tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone and blood
nervous
contains excitable cells specialized for rapid transmission of coded information to other cells, found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves
muscular
tissue composed of elongated, excitable muscle cells specialized for contraction. found in skeletal muscles, heart (cardiac muscle), walls of viscera (smooth muscle)
tissue sections
longitudinal, cross sections, oblique sections
longitudinal sections
length ways
cross sections
cut straight across
oblique sections
cut on a slant
connective tissue classification
fibrous, adipose, cartilage, bone, fluid
fibrous connective tissue classification
loose and dense
loose connective tissue classification
areolar and reticular
dense connective tissue classification
regular, irregular, elastic
cartilage classification
hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
bone classification
spongy and compact
fluid classification
blood
connective tissue
more gs than cells, many fibres. bonds organs(collagen), movement, support(bone & fibrous), storage (energy & calcium), physical protection(adipose), heat production(adipose), immune(blood), transport(blood)
fibrous connective tissue cells
fibroblasts, blood cells, adipocytes
fibroblast cells
produce fibres (collagen) and gs
blood cells
transport, immune function, phagocytosis, allergic reactions
