Analec midterms review Flashcards
The four basic tissue types:
> epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
The microscopic study of tissue structure is called?
histology.
covers external and internal surfaces throughout the body.
Epithelium
- Epithelium may consist of a single layer of (?) or multiple layers of (?)between the free surface and the basement membrane.
epithelial cells
One example of the function of the epithelium
The epithelium of the skin acts as a barrier to water and reduces water loss from the body. The epithelium of the skin also prevents many toxic molecules and microorganisms from entering the body.
The cell membranes of certain epithelial tissues contain (?) that regulate the absorption of materials.
carrier proteins
consists of a single layer of cells
Simple epithelium
consists of more than one layer of epithelial cells,
Stratified epithelium
modification of simple
Pseudostratified columnar
modification of stratified
Transitional
(flat, nuclei appear as bumps)
Squamous
(Cubed shaped cells)
Cuboidal
(Tall and narrow cells)
Columnar
is a clear, viscous (thick) fluid. The mucus protects the lining of the intestine, and the digestive enzymes complete the process of digesting food
Mucus
(?) lines some glands and ducts, the auditory tubes, and some of the airways, such as the nasal cavity, nasal sinuses, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi.
Pseudostratifiedcolumnar epithelium
(?) secretes mucus, which covers its free surface
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
A (?) is a structure that secretes substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into the blood.
gland
(ducts are lined with epithelium)
Exocrine Gland
respiratory system secretes mucus
Goblet cells
water-producing sweat gland
Merocrine Glands
milk-producing mammary gland, organic substances
Apocrine Glands
sebaceous (oil) gland
Holocrine Glands
have no ducts and empty their secretions into the blood. These secretions, called hormones are carried by the blood to other parts of the body.
Endocrine glands
is found throughout the body. It is usually characterized by large amounts of extracellular material that separates cells from one another. The extracellular material, or extracellular matrix), has
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
The extracellular material, or extracellular matrix)
(1) protein fibers,
(2) ground substance consisting of nonfibrous protein and other molecules, and
(3) fluid
Protein fibers:
collagen, reticular, elastic fiber
resembles microscopic ropes, flexible but resist stretching
Collagen
very fine, short collagen fibers
Reticular
similar to a coiled metal bed springs, ability to recoil to its original shape
Elastic
Osteoblasts
form bone
osteocytes
maintain bone
break down bone.
osteoclasts
Cells whose names contain the suffix -blast (germ)
produce the matrix
cells ending in -cyte (cell)
maintain it
cells ending in -clast
break it down for remodeling.
Bones: hard connective tissue, consists of (?) and (?).
living cells and mineralized matrix.
has spaces (end of long bones)
(shaft of long bones)
Cancellous or spongy bones
without spaces (shaft of long bones)
Compact bones
