Q

Function of Organs

A

Group of tissues grouped together to make a structure with a special function
e.g Stomach is an organ which has an epithelial lining, gland tissue, muscle layer, blood vessels and nerves.

Q

When does differentation occur

A

When a specific gene (instruction) is ‘switched on’

  • Activation of genes is the result of chemical signals.
  • Cells can change structure and shape.
  • Specialised cells carry out specific functions

17
Q

What does connective tissue involve (parts in our body)

A 
Bone
Cartilage
Blood
Tendons
Ligaments
18
Q

Function of connective tissue

A

Supports, connects and separates tissue and organs.

19
Q

What does connective tissue consist of

A

Fibres (elastin and collagen), ground substances and cells.

20
Q

What is the intercellular matrix?

A

A large portion of connective tissue – a network of protein fibres. Can be liquid, semisolid or solid.

21
Q

Examples of intercellular matrix

A

Blood and lymph (they are non-fibrous forms of CT)

22
Q

What does connective tissue contain?

A
  • Collagenous fibres which are non-elastic and do not tear easily when pulled lengthwise.
  • Elastic fibres that can stretch and return to their original length, and reticular fibres which are thin and branched – forming a network.
23
Q

Muscle Tissue

A

Specialised to convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy for movement.

24
Q

Description of Smooth muscle

A

Walls of many internal cavities, e.g intestines

25
Q

Description of Striated muscle

A

Connected to bones to give voluntary motion.

26
Q

Description of Cardiac Muscle

A

Only found in the heart.

27
Q

What does nervous tissue consist of

A

Specialised cells called neurons (nerve cells) and glial cells.

28
Q

What are the different types of nuerons

A

Sensory neuron
Motor neuron
Interneuron

29
Q

Identify the different Epithelial tissue classifications

A

Look at Diagram in 11.0 PPT

30
Q

What is tissue transplantation

A

Moving a tissue from one body to another or from a donor site to another location on the patient’s own body.

31
Q

What is organ transplantation

A

Moving of an organ, or part of an organ, from one body to another.

32
Q

What is autograph

A

Transplanted tissue from the patient’s own body to another area of their body.

33
Q

What is allograft

A

Transplanted tissue or organs from the body of one person to the body of another person.

34
Q

What do immunosuppressive drugs do

A

Help stop the body from rejecting transplanted organs and tissues. They suppress the immune system.
