Ch 5: Tissues Flashcards
Ectoderm (where is?) (what does it become?)
-outer layer
-epidermis, nervous tissue
Mesoderm (where is?) (what does it become?)
-middle layer
-connective and muscle tissue.
-bone
-blood
-cardiac, smooth, skeletal muscles
Endoderm (where is?) (what does it become?)
-inner layer
-mucous membranes of respiratory tract, thyroid, pancreas
(Cell shape) Squamous
Flat, plate-like cells
(Cell shape) cuboidal
Cube-shaped, contain more cytoplasm than squamous
(Cell shape) columnar
Higher than wide. Tall and cylindrical
(Cell layers) simple
Every cell touches basement membrane
(Cell layers) stratified
Stacked on top of each other. Upper layer doesn’t touch basement membrane
Exocrine gland
Secretes into ducts, then empty onto surface or into body cavity (sweat glands)
Endocrine glands
Secrete directly into blood (adrenal glands)
Pseudostratified columnar tissue
Secretes mucous, has cilia
-is tall, found in nasal passages and respiratory
Transitional epithelium tissue
Can stretch without breaking. Cuboidal, THEN squamous when stretched (bladder)
Collagenous fibers
Strong and flexible but resist stretching ; most abundant fibers
Reticular fibers
Occur in networks and support small structures such as capillaries and nerve fibers
Elastic fibers
Made of elastin, these fibers can stretch and recoil like a rubber band
