ANAPHY SKELETAL Flashcards
the study of tissues
Histology
groups of cells with similar structure and function.
tissue
Four Primary Types OF TISSUE
- epithelium
- connective
- muscle
- nervous
Approximately ______ days after fertilization, the cells that give rise to a new individual form a slightly elongated disk consisting of two layers called the endoderm and the ectoderm.
13 OR 14
he endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm are called
germ layers”
Cells of the ectoderm then migrate between the two layers to form a third layer
mesoderm.
- forms the lining of the digestive tract and its derivatives, lung cell, thyroid cell and pancreatic cells.
Endoderm
forms tissues such as muscle, bone, and blood vessels; and the ectoderm forms the outermost layer of the skin.
Mesoderm
a portion of the ectoderm, called
_____, becomes the nervous system
neuroectoderm
A tissue that covers covering the inside of body cavities and organs. Covers body surfaces and forms glands.
Epithelium
Consists almost entirely of cells and has free and basal surface
Epithelium
EPITHELIUM UNDERGO A PROCESS OF___
MITOSIS
(does not have a blood supply).
avascular
Protecting underlying structures
Functions of Epithelia
Acting as barriers (skin).
Permitting the passage of substances
Functions of Epithelia
Secreting substances
Functions of Epithelia
Absorbing substances (plasma membranes of certain tissues).
Filtration
Functions of Epithelia
Epithelium Characteristics
Can regenerate quickly.
- Cells fit closely together.
- Can be joined by desmosomes and tight junctions.
- Tissue layer always has one free surface (apical) and lateral surface and basal surface.
- Avascular (have no blood supply) but are innervated (with nerves
one/single layer of epithelium
simple
more than one layer
Stratified
single layer, but some cells are shorter than others.
Pseudostratified
single layer, but some cells are shorter than others.
Transitional
flat cells.
squamos
cube- shape cell
cuboidal
column-like/ rectangular cell shape
columnar
a common site for filtration/diffusion.
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium commonly forms membranes such as
lining of body cavities, lungs, walls of capillaries, and inside of blood and lymphatic vessels.
cells at the free edge are flattened
stratidied squamos epithelium
the most superficial layer of the skin known as the epidermis.
Stratified squamous epithelium
partially dehydrated and contain a layer of keratin.
Stratified squamous epithelium
serves as a protection against abrasion, barrier against infection, reduction of water loss from the body.
Stratified squamous epithelium
commonly found in glands and their ducts
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Active transport and facilitated diffusion result in secretion and absorption by cells
Simple cuboidal epithelium
