Anatomy ch 3 Flashcards
Histology
the study of tissues. synonymous with microscopic anatomy.
3 primary germ layers
ectoderm-forms the outer epithelium and all of the nervous tissue in the body.
mesoderm- forms all connective tissue, muscle tissue, and epithelium linings of vessels and serious body cavities
endoderm- forms lining of epithelium of most parts of visceral body systems
Muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth. Derived from mesoderm
structure of muscle tissue
Myofibers, muscle fibers, and myocytes are all the same
structure of muscle tissue
Myofibers have myofibrils that have myofilaments
describe myofibers and their structure
myofibers have elongated contractile organelles which are the myofibrils. myofilaments are the part that slide and contract
Skeletal muscle
large, cylindrical shaped cells. Several nuclei located near peripheral of cytoplasm. Striated
Cardiac muscle
increased or decreased by autonomic system. Y shaped connected by intercalated discs.
smooth tissue
walls of vessels, hair follicles,iris of eye. they are unorganized therefore no striations
Epithelial tissue
high regeneration capacity. 2 types Membranous and glandular epithelium. Derived from Ectoderm, Mesoderm, and endoderm
Membranous epithelium
called surface epithelium and is avascular,aneural, and varies in thickness of cells
different types of membranous epithelium
cuboidal,squamous,columnar,stratified,simple,pseudostratified,transitional,ciliated, microvillie, keratin
Glandular epithelium
forms the secretory portion. Highly vascular, innervated but lacks a basement membrane
2 types of glandular epithelium
endocrine- no contact with surface (hormones)
exocrine- has contact with surface by ducts ( sweat glands)
Connective tissue
binds various parts of the body together. Allows for waste and gas to be exchanged. present in some degree in all organs. Derived from mesoderm
connective tissue cells
fibroblasts- become fibrocytes when they become fairly incative
fibroblasts secretions
Callagenous fibers- collagen relatively inelastic but strong
elastic fibers- elastin which is rubbery
reticular fiber - like small collagen. Most prevalent
how is CT proper classified
fiber density ( loose/ dense), fiber arrangement( regular/irregular, parallel or not), fiiber type( which ever is most prevalent)
Bone tissue ( connective)
osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes
blood ( connective)
only liquid connective tissue. has RBC’s and WBC’s
Adipose tissue (connective)
average individual has supply of 40 days. For steroids, insulation, energy
Reticular connective tissue
modified reticulocytes that secrete reticular fibers. Present in lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and medullary cavities.
Bone Marrow
in medullary cavities
primitive connective tissue ( mesenchyme
undifferentiated and can undergo metaplasia whenever needed
