Facts about sense irregular CT

A

arranged randomly and in sheets
Can stretch in multiple directions
Found around organs and joint cavities

28
Q

What are the 3 ways cells secret?

A
  1. Holocrine - cell self destructs (oil)
  2. Merocrine - expcytosis (goblet cell)
  3. Apocrine - pinches of (mammary gland)
29
Q

Function and location of exocrine glands?

A

Function - produce secretions

Location - sweat, oil, mammary

31

Function and location of endocrine glands?

A

Function - produce hormones

Locations - pituitary glands, thyroid glands, ovaries, testes

32
Q

What are the 3 types of epithelial membranes?

A
  1. Mucous membrane - lines body cavities that are open to the outside, layer of smooth muscle, thin epithelium secretes mucus
  2. Serous membrane - lines body cavities that don’t open to outside, 2 layers : parietal, visceral. Produces serous fluid
  3. Cutaneous membrane - skin
33
Q

Hyaline cartilage facts

A

Function - flexibility and motion in joints

Location - end of ribs, end of long bones

34
Q

Elastic cartilage facts

Location - pinna of ear, auditory tubes

35
Q

Fibrocartilage

A

Function - support and fusion

Location - discs knee, syntheses of pubis

36
Q

Fluid connective tissue facts

A

Blood and lymph

Blood= cells + plasma

37
Q

What are the 3 kinda of muscle tissue?

A
  1. Skeletal - striated, voluntary, attached to bone, more than one nucleus
  2. Cardiac - striated, involuntary, branched
  3. Smooth - non striated, involuntary, found in hollow organs
38
Q

Facts about nervous tissue

A

Regulate body activity
Neurons - don’t divide, info carriers
Neuroglia - can divide, support, protect neurons
