Ch.4 Tissues Flashcards
What are tissues made of and what kind of cells are they made up of?
Cells. Made up by the same cells with the same structure and function.
The 4 types of adult tissues
Epithelial
Connective
Nervous
Muscular
How many germ layers do tissues have?
3
What are the three germ layers?
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
What kind of tissue does ectoderm become?
Epithelial and nervous tissue
What tissues does Mesoderm become?
Epithelial, muscular (cardiac,smooth, and skeletal), and adult connective tissues
What tissue does the endoderm become?
Epithelial tissue
What germ tissue does bone come from?
Mesoderm
What germ tissue does Epithelial tissue come from?
Ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm
What germ layer does nervous tissue come from?
Ectoderm
Define differentiate
Un specialized cells coming together to form specialized cells
What are cell junctions?
Holds cells together and helps them
Communicate
This type of cell junction seals the cells making sure fluids can’t seep out. Like the lining of your stomach.
Tight junction
What kind of protein does tight junctions have?
Transmembrane proteins
What type of cell junction gives strength to the tissues when pulled or stretched?
Desmosome
What kind of tissues are desmosome?
Cardiac and epithelial (skin)
How do desmosomes give strength to their tissues?
Interlocking transmembrane glycoproteins that anchor the cell.
What is the name for a desmosome transmembrane glycoprotein?
Cadherin
What kind of cell junction locks the bottom of the cell into the basement membrane?
Hemideosome
What kind of tissues are hemidesmosome?
Epithelial
What is a hemidesmosome transmembrane glycoprotein called?
Integrin
What kind of cell junction allows communication between cells, allowing ions, signals and fluids to travel between them?
Gap junctions
What tissues to gap junctions service?
Epithelial, muscular and nervous tissue
How do gap junctions work?
They use connexons that are made up of hollow tubes called connexins that let things travel between the cells
What are the two types of glands in the human body?
Endocrine and exocrine
How do endocrine glads work?
They secrete material into the blood. I.e hormones
How do exocrine glands work?
They secrete material to the surface
Name the parts of a simple tubular gland.
The secretory portion where the material is, then the duct is where it releases.
What parts of the body use Merocrine glands?
Sweat glands and salivary glands
How does Merocrine excrete?
Through Exocytosis
How does apocrine exocrine glands differ from Merocrine glands and what parts of the body are apocrine?
It’s thicker,
Mammary glands and some sweat glands
What type of exocrine functional classification does mammary glands and some sweat glands use?
Apocrine
What kind of exocrine functional classification does sweat glands and salivary glands use?
Merocrine
How is Holocrine excocrine cells different from Merocrine and apocrine?
The whole cell gets secreted.
If a runner starts sweating, what type of gland is at work and what functional classification is it?
Exocrine, Merocrine
What gland does mammary glands use and what classification?
Exocrine, apocrine
What are the 3 types of Epithelial membranes?
Mucous
Serous
Cutaneous
Where is mucous membranes used?
Lines membranes that are open to the outside of the body.
What kind of membranes surround the heart, lungs and abdominopelic regions, how many layers and where are the layers?
How does this membrane aid the body?
Serous membranes
Two layers
Outside layer is the parietal layer
Interior layer is the visceral layer
Helps reduce friction between organs
What is another name for the skin membrane?
Cutaneous
What are the layers of a cutaneous membrane?
Top layer is the epidermis
Lower layer is the dermis
What kind of tissue is connective tissue?
Synovial
What is synovial tissue make up from?
Areolar tissue and adipose tissue (fat tissue)
Where can you find symovial tissue?
I’m freely moving joints
What epithelial mucous membrane tissue is in the mouth, esophagus, nose and mouth?
Stratified squamous
What epithelial mucous membrane tissue is in the small and large intestine?
Simple columnar
How many types of muscous membrane tissues are there?
4
What type of mucous tissues are found in the anus, urethra and vagina?
Stratified squamous
