Chapter 4 Flashcards
Tissue
Group of cells that usually have a common origin and function together to carry out a specialized activities
4 types of tissue
Epithelial
Connective tissues
Muscular tissue
Nervous tissue
Cell junction
Points of contact between plasma membranes of tissue cells
5 types of cell junction
Tight junction
Adherens
Desmosomes
Hemidesmosomes
Gap junction
Two layers of Basement Membrane
Basal Lamina
Reticular Lamina
Two types of epithelium
Covering and lining epithelium or surface epithelium
Glandular epithelium
Three types of cell arrangements by layers in epithelium
Simple epithelium
Pseudostratified
Stratified
Cell shapes in epithelium
Squamous cells
Cuboidal cells
Columnar cells
Transitional cells
Two types of simple squamous cells
Endothelium
Mesothelium
Endocrine Gland
Secretes hormones into interstitial fluid where they diffuse into bloodstream (nu duct)
Exocrine Gland
Secretes product into duct that emptied onto surface of covering and lining epithelium or lumen of hollow organ
Structural classification of multicellular exocrine glands
1 Simple Glands
Simple tubular
Simple branched tubular
Simple coiled tubular
Simple acinar
Simple branched acinar
2 complex compounds
Compound tubular
Compound acinar
Compound tubuloacinar
Merocrine Glands
Gland secretion is synthesized in rough endoplasmic reticulum, processed and packaged in the Golgi apparatus and released by exocytosis
Apocrine Gland
Accumulation at apex of secreting cell, where portion of cell pinches off by exocytosis and releases secretion
Holocrine Gland
Accumulates in cytosol, as the cells mature they rupture and become secretory products
Connective tissue cells
Fibroblasts
Macrophages
Plasma cells(plasmocytes)
Mast cells
Adipocytes
Leukocyte
