Anatomy: Tissues Chapter 4

Question 1

Epithelial Tissue

Answer 1

is a the covering, lining, and glandular tissue of the body. Its functions include protection, absorption, excretion, filtration, secretion, and sensory reception.
epithelium: Greek epi = upon, and thele = the nipple; the cell layer lining the internal and external surfaces of the body.

Question 2

Simple Epithelium

Answer 2

One layer of cells

Question 3

Stratified Epithelium

Answer 3

Many layers

Question 4

Squamous Epithelium

Answer 4

Relatively flat cells

Question 5

Cuboidal Epithelium

Answer 5

Shaped like cubes

Question 6

Columnar Epithelium

Answer 6

Shaped like columns

Question 7

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Answer 7

Simple columnar that appears to be stratifies but is not. Has goblet cells and cilia on the surface. Will line organs like the digestive tract to move things along.

Question 8

Transitional Epithelium

Answer 8

Is a modified stratified squamous epithelium, adapted for responding to stretch. found in the urinary tract.

Question 9

gland

Answer 9

one or more cells specialized to secrete a product.

Question 10

Connective Tissue

Answer 10

Most abundant and widely distributed tissue of the body. Functions include support, protection, binding, insulation, and transportation.

Question 11

Nervous Tissue

Answer 11

Forms organs of the nervous system. it is composed of neurons and supporting cells.

Question 12

Neurons

Answer 12

branching cells that receive and transmit electrical impulses. involved in body regulation. Responsible for communication throughout the body.
Cell body+axon+dendrites= neurons

Question 13

Muscle tissue

Answer 13

consists of elongated cells specialized to contact and cause movement.
Skeletal muscle
Smooth Muscle
cardiac Muscle

Question 14

What does inflammation do?

Answer 14

is the bodys response to injurt. Tissue repair begins with inflammation process. It may lead to regeneration, fibrosis, or both.

Question 15

Regeneration

Answer 15

tissue repair begins with organization, suring which the blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue. If the wound is small enough and the damaged tissue is actively mitotic, the tissue will regenerate and cover the fibrous tissue(scar tissue).

Question 16

Fibrosis

Answer 16

When a would is extensive or the damaged tissue is amitotic, it is replaced with fibrous connective tissue (scar tissue)

Question 17

Ectoderm

Answer 17

nervous tissue

Question 18

Mesoderm

Answer 18

forms muscle and connective tissue

Question 19

Endoderm

Answer 19

Epidermis of the skin and its hair follicles, epithelial lining of the mouth, cornea lens of the eye, sensory receptors in epidermis, adrenal medulla, tooth enamel,

Question 19

Apical

Answer 19

“Free” surface

Question 20

What type of tissue is the basement membrane?

Answer 20

Connective tissue

Question 21

Is the top layer of skin dead or alive?

Answer 21

Keratinized “dead” cells

Question 22

What type of epithelium is in intestinal epithelium?

Answer 22

Simple columnar epithelium with microvilli and goblet cells.

Question 23

What does ‘chondro’ refer to?

Answer 23

Cartilage

Question 24

What does ‘osteo’ refer to?

Answer 24

Bone

Question 25

What does ‘fibro’ refer to?

Answer 25

Fibrous tissue

Question 26

What are examples of connective tissue?

Answer 26

Bone
Blood
Ligaments
Tendons
Adipose "fat"

Question 27

Lacuna

Answer 27

“Little lake” a site for the cells embedded in the EMC.

Question 28

Skeletal Muscle

Answer 28

Striated. Endomysium covers each muscle fiber(cell). Perimysium covers bundles of fibers and Epimysium is a connective stealth that surrounds the entire muscle.

Question 29

Dendrites

Answer 29

Part of the neuron that receives signals from throughout the body.

Question 30

Axon

Answer 30

Transmits signals throughout the body
