Chapter 4 Tissues Flashcards
types of germ layers
mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
Which type of cell junction prevents the contents of organs from leaking into surrounding tissues?
Tight junction
Which types of cell junctions are found in epithelial tissue?
Tight junction, adherens junctions, desmosomes, hemidesmosomes, and gap junctions
protects body against dehydration, injury, bacteria,etc
external epithelia
goblet cells
produce mucus to protect the lining of tracts in the body
located near the epithelium and secreted by the epithelium, composed of collagen, laminin, glycoproteins and proteoglycans
basal lamina (basement membrane of epithelium)
closest to the connective tissue, composed mostly of fibrous proteins (collagen and reticular fibers)
reticular lamina (basement membrane of epithelium)
flat cells, forms part of the respiratory membrane and lines interior of blood vessels, contain mesothelium
squamous epithelium- for filtration and diffusion
cube shaped cells, thick enough to accomodate mitochondria to make ATP for active procceses
cuboidal epithelium - for secretion or absorption
columns with basally located nuclei, lines GI tract, contains goblet cells
columnar epithelium - for ciliary transport, secretion and absorption, and mucus production
mesothelium
simple squamous epithelium that lines the organs’ outer surfaces such as the small intestine
Why are epithelial and connective tissues found adjacent to each other?
because since epithelial tissues are avascular, connective tissues provide the blood supply to the epithelium
cells in single layer which funtions in diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion or absorption
simple epithelium
appears to have multiple layers of cells because the cell nuclei lie at different levels, for respiratory system and function in mucociliary clearance
pseudostratified epithelium
consists of two or more layers of cells that protect underlying tissues in locations where there is considerable wear and tear, can be keratized or not
stratified epithelium
lining most of urinary tract and can go from stratified cuboidal to stratified squamous
transitional epithelium
exocrine pancreas
digestive enzymes for GI tract that are compound tuboloacinar
exocrine glands
secrete products into ducts
endocrine glands
secrete directly into blood
the 3 types of multicellular exocrine glands
holocrine- secretion released from sloughed dead cells
merocrine- secrete via exocytosis
apocrine- secretions released as special part of cell pinches off (ex. milk from alveolar cells of mamary glands)
apocrine sweat glands do not secrete via ________
apocrine mechanism
which type of connective tissues does not contain nerves
cartilage
mature cells reduced capacity to divide and make extracellular matrix
fribrocyte, chondrocyte (except osteocyte)
“cyte” = mature cells
fibroblasts
large flat cells that secrete protein fibers and ground substance, and syntheiszes extracellular matrix, present in all connective tissues
macrophages
phagocytes from monocytes, destroy microbes
adipocytes
store fat (triglycerides)
secrete adipocytes
found in heart and kidneys
eosinophils
froom blood and phagocytize antigen-antibody complexes that can lead to tissue damage
To what class of glands do sebaceous (oil) glands belong? Salivary glands?
exocrine glands
Where are endothelium and mesothelium located?
mesothelium- pericardium, pleura, reproductive system
endothelium- lymph vessels, blood vessels and the heart
neutrophils
first phagocytes to arrive at wound sites, are microphages
what is the extracellular mostly composed of?
protein fibers and ground substance
3 types of collagen fibers and its functions and location
1) collagen fibers-strength and flexibility
- bone, dermis, etc
2) elastic fibers- elastin and fibrilin
- skin, bloos vessels, lungs, etc
3) reticular fibers- fine buncles of collagen fibers anf glycoprotein coating for support in some organs
- basement membranes, stroma of lymph nodes and areolar connective tissue
packing material between connective tissue, gelatinous or calcified, made by connective tissue cells
ground substance
what is the ground substance composed of
1) glycosaminoglycans
which then binds with peptide backbones to form
2) proteolycans- holds ECF
