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
Desmosomes are used in places where and why:
- Theres a lot of tension
- welding more efficient to hold cells together even with tension
6 components of desmosomes:
- adjacent plasma membranes
- intercellular space
- plaque
- transmembrane
- glycoproteins (cadherin)
- Intermediate filament (keratin)
hemidesmosome transmembrane glycoproteins called:
Integrin
Where are transmembrane glycoproteins (integrins) found in hemidesmosomes?
In extracellular space
Function of Integrins in hemidesmosomes?
Bind the cell to basement membrane
6 components of hemidesmosomes
- Intermediate filament (keratin)
- plaque
- transmembrane
- glypoprotein (integrin) in extracellular space
- plasma membrane
- basement membrane
What do gap junctions allow?
gap junctions allow things to pass from one over to the next
3 things gap junctions allow:
- allow ions to pass from one cell to the next
- allow nutrients to move through
- allow substances to move through
Gap junctions are a space for what?
Gap junctions are a space for communications between cells
3 Gap junction comonents:
- adjacent plasma membranes
- connexons
- gap between cells
Connexons in gap junctions are composed of:
Connexins
Differences in blood vessels between epithelial and connective tissue:
-epithelial tissue doesn’t have blood vessels running through; connective tissue does (epithelial is avascular)
How does avascular epithelial tissue get nutrients?
It gets it from the connective tissue deep to it
In epithelial tissue, cells are arranged
in sheets and are densely packed
in epithelial tissue, many ___ junctions are present
in epithelial tissue, many cell junctions are present
in epithelial tissue cells attach to:
cells attach to basement membrane
Epithelial tissue is avascular but…
…does have blood supply
