Chapter Four and Five PPT Flashcards
What are tissues?
collections of cells and cell products that perform specific, limited functions
Name the four types of tissue.
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, Neural
What does Epithelial tissue…
a) cover?
b) line?
c) form?
a) exposed surfaces
b) internal passageways
c) glands
What does Connective tissue…
a) fill?
b) support?
c) transport?
d) store?
a) internal spaces
b) other tissues
c) materials
d) energy
What is the specialty of muscle tissue? Give examples of muscle tissue.
- Specialized for contraction
- skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and hollow organ walls
What is neural tissue’s purpose?
Carries electrical signals from one part of the body to another
What are epithelia?
layers of cells covering internal or external surfaces
What are glands?
structures that produce secretions
Name the characteristics of Epithelia.
1) Cellularity (cell junctions)
2) Polarity (apical and basal surfaces)
3) Attachment (basement membrane or basal lamina)
4) Avascularity
5) Regeneration
What are the functions of Epithelial tissue?
- Provide physical protection
- Control permeability
- Provide sensation
- Produce specialized secretions (glandular epithelium)
Name the three specializations of Epithelial Cells?
- Move fluids over epithelium
- Move fluids through epithelium
- Produce secretions
Talk about the apical surface.
- Microvilli increase absorption or secretion
- Cilia move fluid
What is polar about epithelial tissues?
Apical and Basolateral surfaces
What maintains the integrity of epithelia?
- Intercellular connections
- Attachment to the basement membrane
- Epithelial maintenances and repair
Describe the support and communication of intercellular connections.
- CAMs (transmembrane proteins)
- Intracellular cement (proteoglycans)
- Hyaluronan (glucosaminoglycans)
What are cell junctions and what are the three types?
- form bonds with other cells or extracellular material
- Tight, Gap, Desmosomes
Discuss tight junctions.
- between two plasma membranes
- adhesion belt attaches to terminal web
- prevents passage of water and solutes
- isolates wastes in the lumen
Discuss gap junctions.
- allow rapid communication
- held together by channel proteins
- allow ions to pass
- coordinate contractions in heart muscle
Discuss Desmosomes.
- CAMs, dense areas, and intercellular cement
- Spot Desmosomes (tie cells together and allow bending and twisting)
- Hemidesmosomes (attach cells to the basement membrane)
Name the two layers attached to the basement membrane
- Clear
- Dense
