Q

When we say that the body demonstrates homeostasis, do we mean that conditions in the body are unchanging?

A

Q

When we begin to become dehydrated, we usually get thirsty, which causes us to drink liquids. Is the thirst sensation part of a negative or a positive feedback control system?

A

Negative feedback loop. As soon as drinking occurs, thirst is quenched. If it were a positive feedback loop we would keep drinking water past the point of being thirsty.

37
Q

General characteristics of epithelial tissue

A

Widespread throughout the body, forms the covering of all body surfaces, lines cavities, hollow organs, and major glands.

38
Q

Most important functions of epithelial tissue?

A

Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.

39
Q

Where is ciliated epithelium found, and what role does it play?

A

Ciliated epithelium moves particles or fluid over epithelial surfaces inside the trachea, brachial tubes, and nasal cavities (always near goblet cells).

40
Q

Where in the body might you find stratified epithelium and why?

A

Anywhere with abrasion or needed for protection.

41
Q

Where in the body might you find simple epithelium and why?

A

Any plane that is needed for quick diffusion, secretion, or absorption.

42
Q

Since epithelial tissues are avascular, how do these tissues receive nourishment?

A

Simple diffusion: particles move from areas of high concentration to low concentration.

43
Q

How do connective tissues differ significantly from other tissues?

A

CT is found between other tissues. All CTs contain 3 components: fibers, ground substance, and cells.

44
Q

General characteristics of connective tissue

A
  • Contain an extracellular matrix
  • Cells scattered in matrix
  • Fibers (collagen, elastic, reticular)
45
Q

What are the functions of connective tissues? How are their functions (physiology) reflected in their structures (anatomy)?

A
  1. Bind/support
  2. Protect
  3. Insulate
  4. Fuel reserve
  5. Transport
46
Q

What is the function of muscle tissue?

A

Contract, mobility, stability, posture, organ protection, and temperature regulation.

47
Q

Characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue

A
  • Voluntarily controlled
  • Banded (striated) appearance
  • Multinucleate
  • Found attached to bones
  • Allows you to direct your eyeballs
  • Contains long, non-branching cylindrical cells
  • Concerned with locomotion of the body as a whole
48
Q

Characteristics of cardiac muscle tissue

A
  • Involuntarily controlled
  • Banded (striated) appearance
  • Single nucleus in each cell
  • Contains cylindrical cells with branching ends
  • Displays intercalated discs
  • Tissue of the circulatory pump
49
Q

Characteristics of smooth muscle tissue

A
  • Involuntarily controlled
  • Single nucleus in each cell
  • Found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, and arteries
  • Contains spindle-shaped cells
  • Changes the internal volume of an organ as it contracts
50
Q

Structurally, neurons are very different from other cells. How does their structure (anatomy) relate to their function (physiology)?

A

Neurons send and receive signals. Structurally, they have projections off of their cell bodies (dendrites and axons) to receive and send these messages.

51
Q

What is the difference between a nerve cell (neuron) and the support cells of the nervous system?

A

Nerve cells send and receive electrical signals or impulses. Glial cells do not; they insulate, protect, and nourish nerve cells.

52
Q

Where is simple squamous epithelium found and its function?

A

Lungs for diffusion

53
Q

Where is simple cuboidal epithelium found and its function?

A

Kidney tubules and ducts of small glands for secretion and absorption

54
Q

Where is simple columnar epithelium found and its function?

A

Q

Where is hyaline cartilage connective tissue found and its function?

65
Q

Where is bone (osseous) connective tissue found and its function?

A

66
Q

Where is blood connective tissue found and its function?

A

A

Elastin

73
Q

What are goblet cells and what kind of tissue are they typically found in?

A

Goblet cells secrete mucus found in epithelial tissue.

74
Q

What are the four main types of tissue?

A

Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

75
Q

What is histology?

A

The study of tissue

76
Q

What are the similarities and differences between the apical surface and basal surface (basement membrane)?

A

Apical surface = the free surface expanded to air or outside world or inside of a hollow tube. Basal surface = connected to connective tissue.

77
Q

Describe the matrix. What type of tissue is it found in?

A

The matrix is the non-living component of connective tissue. It is made of water, dissolved proteins, and fiber. The extracellular matrix is found in connective tissue.
