anatomy unit 3 Flashcards
in early development all cells are …
stem cells
Outer most layer makes skin and nervous cells
ectoderm
Middle layer becomes connective and muscular cells
mesoderm
Inner layer becomes digestive and respiratory tracts
endoderm
Over time tissues will degrade and break down
atrophy
study of structure
and appearance of
tissue and cellular
lines
histology
Large transmembrane
proteins, will connect interior protein networks to exterior protein networks
integrins
Layer
of extracellular
matrix that
separates and
provides structure
between cell lines
Basal Lamina
Linkage of extra
cellular matrix across a cell line or tissue
type. Becomes a membrane like structure
that tissues can anchor to
basement membrane
Gel-like substance of
interstitial fluid that fills in areas between
ECM and Basement Membrane
ground substance
Interstitial means…
area between cells
Never connects to actin always connects to intermediate filaments. They create a structural connections to tissues
desmosome
Calcium dependent junctions of muscle, skin, and bone
adhesive junctions
These Junctions can prevent the moving of macromolecules and solutions between cells
tight junctions
Cells with common structure and function
Tissue
4 main types of tissue
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Two classifying criteria for epithelial cells
- number of layers of cells 2. shape of cells
single layer….
simple cells
multiple tiers….
stratified cells
6 functions of epithelial tissue
protection, secretion, excretion, absorption, filtration, sensation
Major role of most epidermis or skin cells, creates a physical barrier, also seen in stomach epithelial tissue
protection
Many glands are epithelial or have components of and
secret mucus, sweat, enzymes, and hormones
secretion
Pulmonary epithelium Carbon dioxide, while liver epithelium excretes bile
excretion
Nutrient up take like in the small intestine. One of the reasons it is ciliated is to facilitate surface area. Also, heat and Vitamin D
absorption
Epithelia in kidneys filters blood and nutrients
filtration
Skin cells frequently form at end of neurons to facilitate and protect nerves
sensation
3 types of muscle tissue
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
muscle tissue has specialized cells for….
contraction, motion, posture, heat production
skeletal tissue is…
voluntary and striated
muscle tissue is…
involuntary and striated
nervous tissue function
conduct impulses to nerves, muscles, glands
Nervous cell that takes an impulse to the cell body
dendrite
where the nucleus of the cell is found
cell body
Part of the nervous cell that takes an impulse away from the cell body
axon
junction between two nerve cells where impulse has to travel across
synaptic junction
bind and supports other tissues
connective tissue
extracellular matrix
liquid, solid, jelly-like substance
major types of connective tissue
fibrous, cartilage, bone, blood
