Q

Why are the ECTODERM, MESODERM and ENDODERM called germ layers?

A

Because the beginning (germination) of all adult structures can be traced back to one of them and they give rise to all the tissues of the body.

A

Multicellular glands.

25
Q

Glands with a single duct are classified as?

A

Simple

26
Q

Glands with ducts that branch are called?

A

Compound

27
Q

Glands with secretory regions shaped as tubules are called?

A

Tubular

Can be straight or coiled.

28
Q

Glands with secretory regions shaped like sacs are called?

A

ACINAR (or alveolar)

If there’s a combined form with tubular, it is called tubuloacinar or tubuloalveolar.

29
Q

If multiple acinar or tubular secretory regions (not ducts) are branched off a single duct, the gland is called?

A

Branched.

30
Q

Functions of CONNECTIVE tissue:

A
  1. Enclosing and separating other tissues.
  2. Connecting tissues to one another
  3. Supporting and moving parts of the body
  4. Storing compounds
  5. Cushioning and insulating
  6. Transporting
  7. Protecting
31
Q

Areolar tissue is what type of connective tissue?

A

Loose connective tissue

32
Q

What are the 3 types of adult connective tissue?

A
  1. Connective tissue proper (loose and dense)
  2. Supporting connective tissue (cartilage and bone)
  3. Fluid connective tissue (blood)
33
Q

Tendons and ligaments are comprised of what type of connective tissue?

A

Dense regular connective tissue

34
Q

Fibroblasts

A

Cells that form fibrous connective tissue.

35
Q

Fibrocytes

A

Maintain the fibrous connective tissue.

36
Q

Chondroblasts

A

Form cartilage.

chondro-, “cartilage”

37
Q

Osteoblasts

A

Form bone.

osteo-, “bone”

38
Q

Osteocytes

A

Maintain bone.

39
Q

A

Adipose cells.

They contain large amounts of lipid. They are rare in some types of connective tissue, such as cartilage, and abundant in others, such as loos connective tissue.

40
Q

A

Maintain cartilage.

41
Q

Osteoclasts

A

Break down bone.

42
Q

-blasts:

A

Create matrix

43
Q

-cytes:

A

Maintain the matrix

44
Q

-clasts:

A

Break down the matrix for recycling.

-clast, “break down”

45
Q

What type of tissue is comprised of widely spaced cells and abundant extracellular matrix?

A

Connective tissue.

46
Q

What are the functions of macrophages?

A
  1. Alert immune system when they encounter antigens
  2. Engulf foreign particles
  3. Destroy dead or dying self cells
47
Q

What membrane consists of these 3 components: a layer of simple squamous epithelium (MESOTHELIUM), its basement membrane, and a delicate layer of loose connective tissue?

A

SEROUS MEMBRANE

These membranes line cavities, such as the pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities, that do not open to the exterior.

48
Q

What membrane is made up of only connective tissue?

A

SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE

They consist of modified connective tissue cells, either intermixed with part of the dense connective tissue of the joint capsule or separated from the capsule by areolar or adipose tissue.

They line freely movable joints and produce synovial fluid.

49
Q

What membrane consists of epithelial cells, their basement membrane, a thick layer of loose connective tissue (LAMINA PROPRIA), and sometimes a layer of smooth muscle cells?

A

MUCOUS MEMBRANES

They line cavities and canals that open to the outside of body, such as the digestive, respiratory, excretory, and reproductive passages.

50
Q

What are the functions of the AREOLAR tissue?

A
  1. Allow passage of nerves and blood vessels through other tissues
  2. Provide and arena for immune defense
  3. Binding of epithelia to deeper tissues
51
Q

A

ELASTIN

54
Q

What are the 3 components of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX?

A
  1. Protein fibers
  2. Ground substance: consisting of nonfibrous protein and other molecules
  3. Fluid
55
Q

Within nervous tissue, a variety of cell types that, as a group, protect and assist the neurons are called?

A

NEUROGLIA

They are the support cells of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

They nourish, protect, and insulate neurons.

56
Q

These cells continue to divide throughout life:

A

LABILE cells

They include adult stem cells and other cells of the skin, mucous membranes, and hemopoietic and lymphatic tissues.

Damage to these cells can be repaired completely by regeneration.

57
Q

These cells do not divide after growth ceases, but they retain the ability to divide and are capable of regeneration in response to injury:

A

STABLE cells

Such as those of connective tissues and glands, including the liver, pancreas, and endocrine glands.

58
Q

These cells have a very limited ability to replicate and, if killed, are usually replaced by a different type of cell:

A

PERMANENT cells

Some P.C.’s, such as neurons, are postmitotic. If damaged, neurons may recover if the cell body is not destroyed; however, if the neuron cell body is destroyed, the remainder of the neuron dies.
