Chapter 4 Part 1 Flashcards
Tissues
what is histology
study of tissues
what is a group of cells with the same structure and functioin
tissue
what does tissue mean
woven
what is blood/csf
check for sickle cell, bacteria/ viral infection
what is a biopsy
removal of tissue via surgery or needle for diagnosis
what is an autopsy
postmortem exam to determine cause of death
what are the 3 primary germ layers
endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm
what is the inner layer in the GI tract , often seen in digestive and respiratory tract
endoderm
what is the middle layer often seen in muscular and skeletal system and is the dermis of the skin
mesodern
what is the outer layer in skin and gives rise to all nervous tissue
ectoderm
what are four tissue types
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
what tissue plays a role in protection and has no blood supply
epithelial
what tissue connections to the epithelial and allows filtration
connective
what tissue allows contraction and movement
muscle
what tissue is the master controller of the body and is responsible for communication
nervous
what tissue is predominately cells and covers body surfaces
epithelial tissue
what is tissue is capable of regeneration (mitosis)
epithelial
what is the role of cell connections
anchor cells to one another and to the basement membrane
what are the 3 functions of cell connections
mechanically bind cells together, form a permeability barrier, and are a mechanism for intercellular communication
what cell connection bind epithelial cells together and are found in areas of mechanical stress
desmosomes
what cell connection binds cells to basement membrane and anchors to prevent movement of tissue
hemidesmosomes
what cell connection anchor cells to one another and form barriers to molecule movement between epithelial cells
tight junctions
what cell connection is found just below tight junctions and help tight junctions anchor epithelial cells to each other
adhesion belts
what connection allows intercellular communication. contact region with protein channels that allows small molecules to go between cells
gap junctions
