chapter 3 part 2 (tissues) Flashcards
what are the 4 types of tissues?
1) epithelial
2) connective
3) nervous
4) muscular
what is epithelial tissues used for?
1) boundries and barriers
2) absorption and secretion
what is connective tissue used for?
1) binding and anchoring
2) support and protection
what is nervous tissue used for?
communicating over a distance
what is muscular tissue used for?
contracting to cause or prevent movement
where is epithelial tissue located?
1) lines body and organs
2) gland tissue
what are the 4 functions of epithelial tissue?
1) protection
2) absorption
3) filtration
4) secretion
what are the parts of epithelial tissue?
1) apical surface
2) basal surface
3) has a basement membrane
how is epithelial tissue classified?
1) number of cell layers
2) shape of cells
what are the 2 epithelial tissue layer classifications?
1) simple
2) stratified
what are the 3 epithelial tissue shape classifications?
1) squamous
2) cuboidal
3) columnar
what is simple epithelial tissue?
epithelial tissue with one layer of cells
what is stratified epithelial tissue?
epithelial tissue with more than 1 layer of cells
what are squamous epithelial cells?
epithelial tissue that is flattened
what is cuboidal epithelial tissue?
epithelial cells that are cube shaped
what are columnar epithelial cells?
epithelial cells shaped like columns
epithelial tissue is classified by what section of the tissue?
the cells closest to the apical surface
what is the function and locations stratified cuboidal and columnar cells?
function is protection
located in the ducts of large glands (rare)
whats the orientation stratified columnar epithelial cells?
the surface cells are columnar but the cells beneath vary in size and shape
what is the function and location of transitional epithelium?
made to stretch and return to normal shape
located in urinary system organs
whats the function of glandular epitheium
secretion
what is the delivery method of endocrine glands?
hormones diffuse into blood vessles(ductless)
what is the delivery method of exocrine glands?
secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface
what are 2 characteristics of connective tissue
1) large amount of cellular matrix
2) cells are small and scattered
how much blood is supplied to connective tissue?
varied
what does the extracellular matrix of connective tissue contain?
1) ground substance
2) fibers(sometimes hard to see)
what types of fibers are found in extracellular matrix of connective tissue and what color are they?
1) collagen(white)
2) elastic(yellow)
3) reticular fibers(type of colagen)
what are the 5 types of connective tissue?
1) bone
2) cartilage
3) dense connective tissue
4) loose connective tissue
5) blood(vascular tissue)
