Chapter 4 Quiz Questions Flashcards
Define Tissue
A group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions.
List the four major types of tissues
ECMN
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
What does the first 2 types of tissue do?
Epithelial: Protects body and functions in absorption + transport + secretion.
Connective: Serves to hold in place, connect, protect, and integrate body’s organs and systems.
What do the other 2 types of tissue do?
Muscle: Capable of contracting and generating tension in response to stimulation. Produces movement.
Nervous: Capable of sending and receiving impulses through electrochem signals, between different regions of the body.
Where would you find epithelial tissue? (2)
- Lining of GI tract organs and other hollow organs.
- Skin surface (Epidermis).
Where would you find connective tissue?
- Fat and other soft padding tissue
- Bone
- Tendon
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue?
- Skeletal (Voluntary) muscle
- Smooth muscle
- Cardiac muscle
Where can nervous tissue be found?
- Brain
- Spinal Cord
- Nerves
What is a Tissue Membrane, and what does it cover? (4)
A thin layer or sheet of cells.
- Outside of the body
- Organs
- Internal passageways that lead to exterior of body
- Lining of the moveable joint cavities.
What are two types of Tissue membrane and what do they do?
Connective Tissue Membrane: encapsulates organs and lines movable joints.
Epithelial Membrane: Epithelium attached to a layer of connective tissue.
What does the mucous membrane do?
Line the body cavities and hollow passageways that open to external environment.
- Includes digestive + respiratory + excretory + reproductive tracts.
- Mucus covers the epithelial layer
What do serous membranes do?
Line the coelomic cavities of the body, (The cavities that do not open to the outside).
- Serous fluid lubricates the membrane and reduces abrasion and friction between organs.
What do the 4 serous membranes cover?
- Two (Pleura) cover the lungs
- 1 (Pericardium) covers the heart.
- 1 (Peritoneum) covers the abdominal organs.
What develops from the ectoderm? (3)
- Epithelia lining the skin
- Parts of the mouth and nose
- Anus
What develops from the endoderm? (2)
breathing + bathroom
- Cells lining the airways
- Cells lining most of the digestive system
What develops from the mesoderm?
L+C systems from Ch.1
The epithelium that lines vessels in the lymphatic and cardiovascular system.
What is a cell junction?
Point of cell-to-cell contact that connects one cell to another in a tissue.
What 3 basic types of connections allow varying degrees of interaction between epithelia cells?
TAG
- Tight junctions
- Anchoring junctions
- Gap junctions
describe the 3 types of connections between epithelia cells
Tight Junction: Forms an impermeable barrier between cells.
Anchoring Junction: Mechanically attaches adjacent cells to each other, or to the basement membrane.
Gap Junction: Allows cytoplasmic communications to occur between cells.
What are the simple epithelium?
- Simple Squamous
- Simple Cuboidal
- Simple Columnar
What are the functions of Simple Squamous epithelium? Where are they found?
Allow materials to pass through via diffusion and filtration.
Also secretes lubricating substance.
Found in Air sacs of lungs + Lining of the heart + blood vessels + lymphatic vessels.
