Chapter Four Flashcards
Group of similar cells specialized to perform a specific function
Tissues
Covers surfaces , lines , spaces , passageways , form glands
Many subtypes , classified by shape of cells and layering of cells
Epithelial Tissues
Fill internal spaces support other tissues transport materials , store lipids
Connective Tissues
How many types of tissues are there and what are they
Epithelial , connective , muscle and nervous
Where is epithelial tissues
Covers surface of body
Line hollow organs
line body cavities
line tubes of various types ( blood , vessels , ducts )
Used to make glands around the body
What are the 3 primary germ layers tissues are formed form
ectoderm , mesoderm , endoderm
What is the extracellular matrix composed of
Water , protein fibers, dissolved molecules
Composed of one or more layers of closet packed cells between two compartments having different components
EPITHELIUM
True or False there is little to no extracelluar matrix between epithelia cells
True
Some epithelial cells , exocrine glands , are specialized to produce secretion
Secretion
Epithelial cells are stongly bound together by specialized connections in the plasma membranes of their lateral surfaces called
Intracellular junctions
How many junctions are their and what are the names
Tight junctions , adhering junctions , desmosomes and gap junctions
Encircle cells near their apical surface and completely attach each cell to its neighbors
Tight junctions
Form completely around the cells
Adhering junctions
Like a button or snap between adjacent epithelial cells
Desmosome
