Chapter 5 Module 1 Flashcards
4 tissue categories
Epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular
- differ in types of functions and cells, characteristics of the matrix (ecm) sand relative amount of spare occupied by cells vs matrix
Organ
Structure w discrete boundaries made of 2 or more tissues
Histology
The study of tissues and how they are arranged into organs
What is tissue
Group of similar cells and cell products that come from same region of the embryo and work together to s perform a peciric structural or physiological role in an organ
Matrix
Extracellular material made of fibrous proteins,
Embryonic tissues
1st tissues appear when cells made from the division of the fertilized egg Start to organize into layers
3 primary germ layers
Endoderm layer (outer): gives rise to epidermis and nervous system Endoderm (inner): gives rise to mucus membrane lining Digestive and respiratory tract. Mesoderm (middle): becomes gelatinous tissue called mesenchyme and gives rise to muscle, bone, blood,
Epithelial tissue
- consist of flat sheet of closely adherent cells one or more cells thick
- covers body surface and lines body cavities
- forms the external and internal winnings of many organs
- upper surface is exposed to the surroundings
- forms most glands
- minimal ecm
- Lie on layer of loose connective tissue to depend on its blood vessels for nourishment and waste removal
- avascular: no blood supply
- basement membrane: layer between epithelium andthe underlying connective tissue
- basal surface: Surface of epithelial cell facing basement membrane
- apical surface: Surface that faces away from basement membrane
Types of epithelia
Simple : single layer of epithelial cells
stratified: more than one layer
Simple epithelia types
- Simple squamous: thin, scaly cells
- simple cuboidal: square or round cells
- simple columnar: tall, narrow cells
- psuedostratified columnar: looks stratified, but is simple
Simple squamous epithelium
Single row of thin cells that permits rapid difusion or transport of sub.
Secretes serous fluid
Alveoli, glomeruli, endothelium, and serosa
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Single layer of square or round D cells that are involved in absorb and secrete s mucus production, and movement
Areas of secretion: liver, thyroid, mamary and Salvatore glands
Simple columnar epithelium
Single row of tall and narrow cells that have an oval nuclei in basal half of cell J a brush border of microvili, ciliates in some organs, and may posses goblet cells
Aid in absorption and secretion of mucus
Icing of gi tract, uterus, kidney, and uterine tubes
Psuedostratified columnar cells
Looks multilayered (all touch basement membrane) and have nuclei at several layers Have cilia and goblet cells and secretes and propel mucus
Respiratory tract and male uretha
Stratified epithelia
2-20 or more layers of cells where only the deepest layer connects to the basement membrane
