Anat tissue Flashcards
Types of Tissue
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Epithelial
- covers body surface&organs
- form inner lining of cavities
- lines hollow organ
- lacks blood vessels
- divide readily
- tightly packed
- secretion
- absorption
- excretion
basement membrane
thin, nonliving layer anchors epithelium to connective tissue
squamous
thin, flattened
cuboidal
cubelike
columnar
elongated
simple squamous location
air sac
inside vessels
wall of capillaries
simple squamous
substances pass easily through,
site of diffusion&filtration
thin /delicate
easily damaged
simple cuboidal location
lines follicles of thyroid gland
covers ovaries
lines kidney,tubules, ducts of s.glands
simple columnar
nuclei same level (near basement membrane)
sometimes: ciliated.
absorption (have microvilli)
thick tissue/protect
simple columnar location
move egg cells (w/cilia)
(w/o cilia) uterus, part digestive tract, secrete digestive fluid, absords nutients
goblet cell
pseudo stratified
commonly: cilia
goblet cell
pseudostratifies location
respiratory
stratified squamous
thick
free surface: squamous (old)
basement: cuboidal/columnar
stratified squamous location
epidermis, oral cavity, esophagus , vagina, anal
stratified columnar
free surface: elongated
basement: cuboidal
stratified columnar location
male urethra, parts of pharynx
transitional
contract: cuboidal
stretch: thinner
smaller at the bottom near basal
transitional location
bladder, ureter, part urethra, barrier on urinary tract
connective tissue
- most abundant tissue by weight
- cells far apart
- has extracellular matrix btw cells
- usually divide
- vary degree of vascularity, most of the time, usually, has blood vessels
cell types in connective tissue
fibroblast (fixed): large,star shaped, produce fibers into matrix
macrophages (wandering):
attached to fibers but can b detached, phagocytosis, immunity
mast(fixed): releases heparin (prevent clotting) and histamine (dilates blood vessels)
extracellular matrix
fibers and ground substance
ground sub; binds, support, provides medium for substance transfer btw blood and cells
connective tissue fibers
collagenous
elastic
reticular
collagenous fibers
thick, long parallel bundles, flexible slightly elastic, great tensile (pulling)
elastic
made of elastin, weaker than collagenous, very elastic
Reticular
thin collagenous fibers
Loose/Areolar
CT
thin membrane
cell: fibroblast
fibers:
little collagenous&elastic
function: bind skin to underlying organs and fill space btw muscle. vascular.
under epithelium
adipose
function: cushion joint, kidney, insulate beneath skin, store flat in cytoplasm, eyeball, btw muscle, heart surface
looks like fibroblast w/o fat
reticular
thin collagenous fibers
function: provide framework of certain internal organs
location: liver, spleen, lymphatic
Dense
abundant thick closely packed collagenous, some elastic, few cells (fibroblast)
dense regular
withstand puling, poor blood supply/slow repair
binds body part together/ surrounds joint
Tendon cartilage
irregular dense
thick, interwoven, randomly organized fibers. sustain tension from all direction
dermis
elastic
parallel elastic fibers , collagenous and fibroblast btw them
attachments btw bones of spinal,
layers btw wall of s. hollow internal organs
cartilage
matrix: mostly collagenous, no direct blood supply. perichondrium covers cartilage (has blood)
hyaline cartilage
fine collagenous
poor regeneration
end of bones, nose, respiratory, development
elastic cartilage
dense elastic, more flexible than hyaline,
external ears, s.larynx
fibrocartilage
many large collagenous fibers, shock absorber
spinal, cushion bone in knee and pelvic
bone
mineral salt, collagenous abundant,
layers: lamellae
osteon, whole circle, central canal: blood vessle
blood
matrix: plasma
red blood: transport gasses (vessels)
white blood: fight infection (migrate through capillary walls)
platelet: cellular fragment, help blood clotting
muscle tissues
elongated shape, contract, moves body part
cardiac
branched intercalated disc striated single nuclei no regenerate
smooth
nonstriated leaf shaped walls of hollo organ single nucleus highest regenerate
skeletal
voluntary
limited regenerate
multiple nuclei
attached to bones
nervous tissue
neuroglia: support and binds tissue
phagocytosis
help supply nutrients to neurons
