Chap 4 Tissues Flashcards
4 primary tissue types are:
epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissues.
tissue layer that gives rise to all body’s mature tissues are:
germ layers
noncellular substances sorrounding the cells are:
extracellular matrix
Tissue that contracts, shortens, with a force and responsible for movement
muscle tissue
macrophages are:
monocytes, type of white blood cell. either fixed (don’t move) or wandering, found in connective tissue. phagocytize foreign/injured cells, activate immune.
blasts / cytes
blasts =create matrix
cytes =maintain it
fibroblasts / fibrocytes
cells form fibrous connective tissue / maintain it.
chondroblasts / chondrocytes
form cartilage / maintain it.
osteoblasts / osteocytes / osteoclasts
form bone / maintain it = mature bone / break down bone
adipocytes
store lipids
mast cell
release chemicals in response to injury
3 loose connective tissue
areolar, adipose, and reticular
adipose tissue =
is found:
yellow adipose tissue =most abundant.
brown adipose tissue =axillae, neck, near kidneys.
adipose tissue is found within the orbits, breasts, deep to the dermis of the skin
vasodilation:
increase in blood vessel diameter from smooth muscle relaxation. increase speed of delivery of white blood cells to damaged tissue.
tissue that consists of elongated fibers that are specialized to contract in response to stimulation is:
muscular tissue
*epithelial tissue
- composed of closely packed cells
- covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, lines organs
- distinct cell surfaces:
- free (=apical), surface, lateral, basement membrane - cell and matrix connection
- nonvascular: diffusion must occur across cells to carry gases and nutrients.
- capable of regeneration: ability to mitosis, replace damaged cells with new epithelial cells.
*epithelial tissue functions:
- protecting underlying structures
- acting as a barrier
- permitting the passage of substances: acts as a filter (kidney)
- secreting substances: mucous glands, sweat glands, pancreas
- absorbing substances; carrier proteins regulate the absorption of materials
*classification of epithelial tissues
- simple epithelium (single layer of cells)
- stratified epithelium (more than one layer of cells, only basal layer attaches the deepest layer to the basement membrane)
- pseudostratified columnar epithelium (appears to be stratified but is not)
*3 shape of epithelium
- squamous (flat, scalelike)
- cuboidal (cube shaped)
- columnar (tall and thin)
connective tissue functions:
P.113-114
Loose connective tissue type:
connective tissue type:
- enclosing and separating other tissues; (separate muscles, arteries, veins, nerves from one another)
- attachment of one tissue to another; (tendons attach muscles to bone; ligaments hold bones together)
- supporting and moving parts; (bones and cartilage support, joints allow a part of body move)
- storing compounds; adipose tissue stores high energy molecules, bone stores minerals (calcium, phosphate)
- cushioning and insulating; adipose tissue cushions and protects, provides insulating layer beneath the skin
- transporting; blood transports the gases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, and cells of the immune system throughout the body. blood= fluid connective tissue
- protecting; cells of immune system and blood protect against toxins and injury, against microorganisms
- widely-spaced cells
consists of an open lacy network of relatively few protein fibers with widely scattered cells.
- Areolar
- Adipose
- Reticular
- Dense collagenous
- Dense elastic
Tissue repair
P.132
- clot forms.
- a scab is present 1 week later, epithelium (new epidermis) is growing into the wound.
- epithelium has grown completely 2 weeks later, and fibroblasts have formed granulation tissue.
- the wound has completely closed 1 month later, granulation tissue is replaced by new connective tissue.
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
all the cell attached to the basement membrane.
some cells are tall, some are short, appear stratified but single layer. Almost always ciliated and with goblet cells that secrete mucus onto the free surface.
= nasal cavity, sinuses, auditory tubes, pharynx, trachea, bronchi
mucous membrane
consists of epithelial cells. =respiratory, digestive: open to the outside of body
serous membrane
do not contain glands, but secrete a small amount of fluid: serous fluid =pleural, peritoneal: do not open to outside
synovial membrane
made up of only connective tissue. produce synovial fluid = rich in hyaluronic acid. line freely movable joints, help smooth movement.
areolar tissue
P.117
loose connective tissue.
“loose packing” material of most organs, and attaches epithelial tissue to deeper tissue.
tendons and ligaments
dense regular tissue
areolar connective tissue;
cells within a network of collagen fibers (mostly), elastic fibers.
- loose packing
- support
- nourishment for associated structures
- provide an area of immune defense
- packing between glands, muscles, nerves, attaches the skin (epithelial) to underline (deeper) tissues
exocrine gland that consists of an individual secretary cell is:
unicellular gland (goblet cells are unicellular glands)
conducting cells of nervous tissues are called:
neurons
viscous secretion produced by goblet cells is called:
mucus
inflammatory response:
- chemical mediators are released
- dilation of capillaries and increased capillary permeability
- fluid and white blood cells leave the blood
- swelling occurs and white blood cells phagocytize bacteria and debris
