Chapter 4 Review Flashcards
1) What are groups of similar cells and extracellular products that carry out a common function.
1) Tissue.
2) What is the study of tissue and their relationship to organs
2) Histology.
3) What is the non-cellular material outside of cells produced by living cells (ex; bone material)
3) Extracellular matrix.
4) What are the 4 Types of Tissues
4) Connective tissue, muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, and nervous tissue.
5) Epithelial tissue lines every body surface and all body cavities; True (A) or False (B)
5) True.
6) What is composed of one or more layers of closely packed cells that form a barrier between two compartments having different components.
6) Epithelial tissue.
7) How much extracellular matrix is found in epithelial tissue?
7) Little to no extracellular matrix.
8) Many blood vessels penetrate an epithelium; True (A) or False (B)
8) False. No blood vessels penetrate.
9) What are the 6 characteristics of Epithelial Tissue?
9) Cellularity, polarity, attachment, vascularity, innervation, and regeneration capacity.
10) What epithelial surface (free, or top, surface) is exposed to the body surface?
10) Apical surface.
11) The basal surface (fixed, or bottom, surface) of epithelial tissue is attached to what?
11) Underlying tissue.
12) What term means that epithelia lack blood vessels?
12) Avascularity.
13) How are nutrients obtained in an epithelial tissue?
13) Directly cross the apical surface or by diffusion across the basal surface.
14) Some epithelia are richly innervated to detect changes in the environment at that body or organ surface; True (A) or False (B)
14) True.
15) Frequently damaged or lost by abrasion and is replaced via what capacity?
15) High regeneration capacity.
16) Continual replacement occurs through the divisions of the which epithelial cells?
16) The deepest epithelial cells called stem cells.
17) What are the basic functions of Epithelial Tissue?
17) Protection of underlying tissues, regulation of materials into and out of the organ or tissue, produce secretions or excretions.
18) What structures in epithelial tissue continuously supply information to the nervous system concerning touch, pressure, temperature, and pain?
18) Nerve endings.
19) What are the four types of cell junctions in epithelial tissue?
19) Tight junctions, adhering junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes.
20) What are the two ways that Epithelial Tissue is classified?
20) Number of layers and shape.
21) In an epithelial tissue, what do the terms, Simple, Stratified, and Pseudostratified mean?
21) Simple= One cell layer only
Stratified= Many layers (Like skin)
Pseudostratified= Looks like many layers due to uneven nuclei (one layer)
22) What are the 3 basic cell shapes found in epithelial tissue?
22) Squamous = Flat
Cuboidal= Square or round.
Columnar= Rectangular
23) What are individual cells or multicellular organs that produce substances needed in or on the body?
23) Glands.
24) What do the terms endocrine and exocrine mean?
24) Endocrine for use inside of body.
Exocrine for use outside of body or waste just to get rid of.
25) What glands lack ducts and secrete their products directly into the interstitial fluid and/or bloodstream?
25) Endocrine glands.
26) Most endocrine glands produce what chemicals that act as chemical messengers to influence cell activities elsewhere in the body?
26) Produce hormones
27) Exocrine glands usually maintain their contact with the epithelial surface by means of;
27) A duct.
28) What glands are also called eccrine glands, package their secretions in structures called secretory vesicles which travel to the apical surface of the glandular cell and release their secretion by exocytosis?
28) Merocrine glands.
29) In what type of gland is the secretion produced through the destruction of the secretory cell?
29) Holocrine gland.
