Chapter 2 and 3 Flashcards
What are the functions of epithelium?
Protection, entry and exit, sensation, secretion
What are the 4 types of tissues?
Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What are the cell shapes?
- cuboidal : cube shaped
- columnar : tall, rectangles
- squamous : flat, scale like
- transitional : can stretch, variety of shapes
What are the epithelial cell layer arrangements?
- simple : single layer
- stratified : multiple layers
- pseudostratified : single layer but looks like multiple layers
Function and location of simple squamous epithelium?
Function- diffusion, osmosis, secretion, reduces friction
Location- air sacs in lungs, kidney, lines heart and blood vessels
What are the special names for simple squamous epithelium?
- endothelium : line circulatory system
- mesothelium : serous membrane
What is the function and location of simple cuboidal epithelium?
Function - secretion and absorption
Location - surface of ovaries, kidneys, and some glands
What is the function and location of simple columnar epithelium?
2 kinds
1- ciliated, function - movement, locations - uterine tubes, para nasal sinuses
2- unciliated, function - produce mucus, location - digestive tract
What is the function and location of Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
Function - secretion and movement
Location - respiratory tract
Function and location of Stratified squamous epithelium?
Function - protection
Location - 2 kinds
- keratinized (waterproof) : outer layer of skin
- non keratinized : mouth, vagina, esophagus, pharynx
Function and location of stratified cuboidal epithelium?
Function - protection
Locations - ducts of sweat glands and salivary glands
Function and location of stratified columnar epithelium?
Function - protection and secretion
Location - male urethra, some ducts of glands
Function and location of transitional epithelium ?
Function - change shape
Location - bladder, urethra, ureter
Epithelial membrane =
Epithelial layer + connective tissue underneath
What are the functions of connective tissue? (CT)
- structure of body
- protection
- support and connection between tissues
- energy storage
- defense
- transport
What are the classifications of CT?
- Connective tissue proper - cells and fibers
- Fluid connective tissue - watery matrix, blood and lymph
- Supporting CT - bone and cartilage
CT proper - types of fixed cells?
Fibroblast, fibrocytes, fixed microphages, adiphocytes, melanocytes, mesebchymal cells
CT proper - types of wandering cells?
- free macrophages
- mast cells
- lymphocytes
- microphages
Types of CT proper?
Embryonic, loose or areolar, reticular, dense regular, dense irregular
Facts about loose or areolar CT
Most abundant in body From subcutaneous layer Supports and binds Defense against infection Holds water
Facts about adipose CT
Contain fats All over body White fat-in adults Brown fat-in infants Provides energy, protection, and energy
Facts about reticular CT
Supports organs
Binds tissues
Contains macrophages
Facts about dense regular CT
Fibers run parallel to each other
Doesn’t stretch in one direction
In tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses
Facts about sense irregular CT
arranged randomly and in sheets
Can stretch in multiple directions
Found around organs and joint cavities
