Chapter 4 Part 1 Lecture Flashcards
This chapter is to learn about tissues and their
origins
This chapter is to discuss how cells of a tissue are ___ ____
Held together
This chapter will compare 4 tissue types including:
epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
This chapter will cover the structure and function of ____
membranes
We are to understand tissue repair
understand tissue repair
What is a tissue:
A tissue is a group of cells that have a common embryonic origin and function together to carry out specialized activities
How many types of basic tissues are there and how are they categorized?
- 4 types of tissues
- categorized according to structure and function
What are the 4 types of tissues?
- Epithelial tissue
- connective tissue
- muscular tissue
- nervous tissue
characteristics of epithelial tissue and 4 places epithelial it can be found?
- all over
- on our membranes
- mucus membrane; trachea gets external air
- skin; open to enviornment
places connective tissue can be found
- has no outer portion
- big role: protection and supplies tissue with blood
What are the 3 types of muscular tissue?
- skeletal
- cardiac
- smooth
What does nervous tissue consist of:
-everything from central and peripheral nervous system
2 facts about cell junctions:
- Cells can be held together in a number of ways
- points of contact are called cell junctions
Function of cell basement membranes:
-hold cells to a point; keep it anchored
3 components of Tight Junctions:
-Adjacent plasma membrane -Intercellular space -Strands of transmembrane proteins
Tight junction function:
-keep cells close together so nothing comes between them; no leakage
Example of a tight junciton location:
- Epidermis
- Stomach
- Small intestine
5 components of adheren junctions:
- Adjacent plasma membranes
- microfilament; actin
- plaque
- transmembrane proteins (cadherin)
- intercellular space
- adhesion belt
adheren junctions are seen in muscles that are _____
contracting; where a lot of movement occurs
Example of adheren junction location:
-small intestine; it contracts to move food through system
Transmembrane glycoproteins in adheren junctions are called:
Cadherins
What are desmosomes attached to?
Intermediate filaments
Intermediate filaments in desmosomes are called:
Keratin
Cadherins are present in what junctions?
- adheren junctions
- desmosomes
