Chapter 4 Flashcards
- secretory organ
- releases secretions into blood, cavity, or surface
Gland
Non-living chemical substances located between connective tissue cells
Extracellular Matrix
Fine network of cells or collagen fibers
Reticular
Outermost layer of embryo
Ectoderm
Cell shaped like a column
Columnar
Scale like, flat shaped cell
Squamous
Epithelium consisting of more than one layer of cells
Stratified epithelium
Firm, smooth, resilient, nonvascular, connective tissue
Cartilage
Mature cell of fibrous connective tissue
Fibrocyte
Produced by and lubricates serous membrane
Serous fluid
- occurring in severe form
- resistant to treatment
- fatal
- invasive and destructive growth
Malignant
Study of neoplasms
Oncology
Ropelike protein of Extracellular matrix
Collagen
Entire cells are shed by the gland and become apart of secretion
(Sebaceous gland)
Holocrine gland
Glossy cartilage tissue consisting of cartilage cells and their matrix
Hyaline cartilage
Consists of a neuron cell body, axon & 2 or more dendrites
Multipolar neuron
Epithelium consisting of single layer of cells
Simple epethilium
Stratified epithelium. Either cuboidal or squamouslike depending on presence or absence of fluid in organ
Transitional epithelium
Thin plate
Lamina
Any swelling or growth
Tumor
Nerve cell body with single axon
pseudounipolar neuron
Unipolar neuron
Substitution of viable cells for damaged or dead cells by regeneration or replacement
Tissue repair
Disk-shaped regions of cell membrane found in stress areas.
- adhesion between cells
- cementing Extracellular material between cells
Desmosome
Embryo giving rise to the brain and spinal cord
Neuroectoderm
