Chapter 4 Tissues Flashcards
Four major types of tissue
Epithelial, connective, muscle & nervous
Major type of tissue that has tightly packed cells and a basement membrane
epithelial tissue
This layer of glycoproteins attaches epithelium to connective tissue
Basement membrane
Tissue with one layer of cubed shape epithelial cells
Simple cuboidal
Tissue with one layer of tall epithelial cells
Simple columnar tissue
Tissue with many layers of epithelial cells that are cube shaped at the free surface
Stratified cuboidal tissue
Tissue found lining abdominal cavity
Simple squamous (mesothelium)
Tissue found lining the mouth
Stratified squamous
Epithelial tissue that functions in absorption and secretion
Simple cuboidal and simple columnar epithelium
Cell junction that weld cells together
Desmosome
Communication junction between cells
Gap junction
Dead cells filled with the protein keratin at the surface of the epithelium
Keratinized epithelial cells
Single cell that makes mucus in the epithelium
Goblet cell
Epithelium containing cells that can change their shapes
Transitional epithelium
Epithelium looks like it is in layers but each cell touches the basement membrane
Pseudostratified epithelium
Tissue found lining the bladder and ureters
Transitional epithelium
Tissue found lining most of the respiratory system
Pseudostratified tissue
Tissue that lines the stomach and intestines
Simple columnar system
Major type of tissue that makes up an endocrine gland
epithelial tissue
exocrine gland where the tip of the cell breaks off together with its secretion
Apocrine gland
Exocrine gland where only the secretion leaves the cell
Merocrine gland
Exocrine Gland where the entire cell is secreted together with the excretory product
Holocrine gland
Type of gland that secretes into a duct
Exocrine gland
Major type of tissue that is characterized by scattered cell in a matrix
Connective tissue
Connective tissue that has no blood vessels
Cartilage
Two components of connective tissue matrix
Ground substance and fibers
Three types of fibers found in connective tissue
Reticular collagen and elastic
Connective tissue cell that produces histamine
Mast cell
Type of cell in connective tissue that makes fibers
fibroblast
