Chapter 4 Part 1 Flashcards
Examine tissue for disease
Pathologists
Covers body surface lines system and forms glands
Epithelial tissue
Protects supports and binds organs vascular has nerve supply except
Cartilage
Connective tissue
Generates forces moving body structures
Muscle tissue
Produces nerve impulses
Nervous tissue
Contact points between cells
Cell junctions
Fuse cells,sealing off passage between cells
Tight junction
Permit rapid communication between cells
Gap junction
Consists of packed cells arranged single or multiple layers
Epithelial tissue
Lack own blood vessels
Avoscular (epithelial tissue)
Receives nutrients from deep connective tissue-high rate of cell division for renewal and repair- apical(top) basal(bottom) surfaces of cells
Epithelial tissue
Attaches epithelium to connective tissue layer
Basement membrane (epithelial tissue)
Forms glands that release products
Glandular epithelium
Named by number of cell layers and cell shape
Covering and lining epithelium
Single layer of cells usually with same height
Simple epithelium
Single layer of tall and short cells
Pseudostratified epithelium
Multiple layers of cells that protect tissues from wear and tear
Stratified epithelium
Study of tissues
Histology
