CH. 4 Tissues Flashcards
What are the 4 types of basic tissues?
- Epithelium
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle
- Nervous
Epithelium
Basic Tissue -
Forms lining of surfaces and is derived from any of the 3 germ layers
covers surfaces
lines insides of organs and body cavities
and sacs
ex: epidermous - lining of skin
lining of subes, sacs, and glands
Connective Tissue
Extensive extra cellular matrix
Muscle
Neuron & support cells
Sensory, motor, integration - putting it together to “function”
Epithelium - Lining (list)
Sheets
Tubes
Sacs
Epithelium - Lining Sheets
Surface of skin (epidermis) and Ventral Body cavities (mesothelium = serous membranes)
Epithelium - Lining Tubes
Inner lining of tubular structures.
Blood vessels, gut, ducks
Epithelium - lining Sacs
Alveoli in lungs
Glandular alveoli - secretory units (bladder)
Epithelium - Features (List)
- polarity
- apical surfaces
- junctions
- secretion
Epithelium - Features Polarity
2 ends doing different things.
apical region
basal region
Apical region
near lumen
TOP OF TISSUE
basal region
BOTTOM
like felt. fibouras material.
near basal lamina (basement membrane)
Epithelium - Features Apical surfaces (list)
- Cilia
- microvilli
- ridges or folds
- secretory features
Cilia
Epithelium - Features Apical surfaces
9+2 arrangement of microtubules
Microvilli
Epithelium - Features Apical surfaces
- Finger like projections
- Non moveable (just adding surface area)
- Absorbing functions
ridges or folds
Epithelium - Features Apical surfaces
Folds on surface
secretory features
Epithelium - Features Apical surfaces
exocytosis
Secretion occurs
Epithelium - Features - Junctions (&list)
Specialized contacts on lateral surfaces; where epithelial cells are joined together.
- Desmosomes
- Tight junctions
- Gap junctions
Desmosomes
Like a button between adjacent epithelial cells
Adhesion
Tight Junctions
Encircles epithelial cells near their apical surfaces and completely attaches each cell to its neighbor; cells almost fust together
Gap junctions
Formed across the intercellular gap between neighboring cells
provide a direct passageway for small molecules travelling between neighboring cells
Epithelium - Features - Secretion (list)
- Apocrine
- Merocrine
- Holocrine
Apocrine
Accumulate secretory products within the apical region of their cytoplasm
Mammary glands
Merocrine
Package secretions in structures called secretory vesicles
Salvary and sweat glands
Exocytosis
Holocrine
Accumulate a product and then the entire cell disintegrates; Cell fragments and then break apart; sebaceous glands (oil)
Epithelium - Features - Types (2 ways to differentiate)
- Shapes
2. Layers
Epithelium - Features - Shapes
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Epithelium - Features - Layers
- Simple
- Stratified
- Pseudostratified
- Transitional
Epithelium - Features - Layers - SIMPLE
One layer of cells
Epithelium - Features - Layers - STRATIFIED
2 or more layers
Epithelium - Features - Layers Pseudostratifiied
All layers touch the basal lamina
Lumen
hallow cavity by the apical region
