Chapter 4 Flashcards
neurons and glia
Nervous tissues
Pseudostratified columnar and simple squamous
Epithelial tissue
smooth muscle, cardiac, muscle, and skeletal muscle
muscle tissue
Adipose, dense regular, blood
connective tissue
are groups of specialized cells and the extracellular substances surround them.
tissues
the microscopic study of tissue structure
histology
can identify abnormalities including cancer, resulting from changes in a tissue
microscopic examination
the composition of the non cellular substances surrounding the cells
extracellular matrix
is the process of removing tissue samples from patients surgically or with a needle for diagnostic purposes
biopsy
is a postmortem examination of the organs to determine the cause of death or to study the changes caused by a disease including microscopic examination of tissues
autopsy
what is the inner layer that forms the lining of the digestive tract
endoderm
what is the middle layer that forms tissues such as muscle, bone, and blood vessels.
mesoderm
what is the outer layer that forms the skin
ectoderm
it is a portion of the ectoderm that becomes the nervous system
neoroectoderm
groups of cells that break away from the neuroectoderm during development
neural crest cells
blood vessel in the underlying connective tissue do not penetrate the basement membrane to reach the _____
epithelium
what are the 3 embryonic germ layers
- the endoderm
- the mesoderm
- the ectoderm
covers and protects surfaces, both outside and inside the body
epithelial tissue
consists almost entirely of cells, with very little extracellular matrix between them
epithelial tissue
covers body surfaces and forms glands that are derived developmentally from body surfaces: exterior surface, lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts, the heart and blood, and body cavities
epithelial tissue
one surface of their cells is in direct contact of our hollow organs
epithelial tissue
specialized cell contacts bind adjacent ______ together and to the extracellular matrix
epithelial tissue
has the ability to regenerate and replace damaged cells
epithelial tissue
