Chapter 6 - Tissues & Membranes Flashcards
Histology
Study of tissues
4 kinds of tissue
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscular
- Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
Protects and transport
Continues sheets
Avascar ( no blood supply)
1 unattached surface and 1 attached
surface (to a basement membrane in order to get nutrients)
Lines cavities or organs
Easy regenerates and repairs
Layers
•simple; stratified; squamous; cuboidal; columnar; transitional; pseudo stratified
Stratified
Multiple layers
Simple
1 layer
Squamous
Rapid diffusion, blood vessels
Cuboidal
Transport & secrete (kidneys)
Columnar
Absorption & digestion
Transitional
Bladder
Psendostatified
Look like multiple layers
Connective (CT)
More than cells
Vascular varies
Fibers in matrix
Types of fibers
•collagen; elastic; reticular
Vascularity
• loose, dense, cartilage, osseous, Hemo
Collagen
Made of strong proteins
Electric
Can stretch and return back to normal
Reticular
Tiny collagen fibers that makes spider webs
Examples
• hollow organs
liver, spleen, lymph nodes
Vascularity
Where there is more concentrated matrix
There is less room for blood vessels
Loose
Very vascular
Heals quickly
Examples
• areolar
• adipose
Dense
Less vascular
Heals slower
Example
• regular
• irregular
• elastic : bladder, stomach, lungs
Cartilage
Non vascular
Fed diffusion
Examples
• Hyaline
• fibrocartilage
•elastic : ear, epiglottis, larynx
Osseous
Bone
Very vascular
Small canals for blood vessels and nerves
