Chapter 4 (Tissue, Cell Types and Adhesions & Glands Flashcards
what are the three types of embryonic tissues
- ectoderm
- mesoderm
- endoderm
there are three types of embryonic tissues
name them in order and list fxn
- ectoderm - nervous system lining special senses oral and anal mucosa
- mesoderm - cardiovascular, muscle, bone, adipose
- endoderm - GI track mucosa, urogenital tract and respiratory
what are the four primary tissue classes
- epithelial
- connective tissue
- muscular tissue
- nervous tissue
what characterizes an organ
composed of 2 or more tissue types
tissue is what
similar cells and cell products
what are the three differences between tissue types
- types and functions of cells
- characteristics of extracellular material/matrix
- space occupied by cells versus matrix
what are the types of tissue sections - 3
- longitudinal - cut along longest direction of organ
- cross section - tissue cut perpendicular to length of organ
- oblique section - cut at an angle between cross and longitudinal section
what are three ways of preparation of histological specimens
- fixation prevents decay
- sliced into thin sections one or two cells thick
- mounted on slides and colored with histological stain
what are two types of hollow sectioning types
- cross section
- longitudinal
what are the 9 types of cell shapes
- squamous
- polygonal
- cuboidal
- columnar
- spheroid
- discoid
- stellate
- fusiform spindle shape
- fibrous
what is a tight junction
encircle the cell joining to surrounding cells
what’s an example of a tight junction
prevents passage between the GI cells and the urinary tract cells
what’s a gap junction
ring of transmembrane proteins a water filled channel
whats an example of a gap junction
embryos
what is desmosomes
patches between cells holding them together
whats an example of where desmosomes can be found
in the uterus
what are the words to describe types of tissue (2 words)
simple, stratified
what are two characteristics of stratified epithelial
- contains one layer of cells
- named by shape of cells
what are two characteristics of stratified epithelium
- contains more than one layer
- named by shape of apical cells
what are four characteristics of simple squamous epithelium
- single row of flat cells
- permits diffusion of substances
- secretes serous fluid
- Aveoli, glomeruli, endothelium, and serosa
what are three two characteristics of simple cuboidal and where it can be found
- single row cube-shaped cells with microvilli
- absorption and secretion, mucus production
Liver, thyroid, mammary, and salivary glands
