chp 5 book Flashcards
What are the three things tissues are classified on?
structure of cells composition of extracellular matrix function of cells
What are the major tissue types
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
What are the characteristics of epithelium
mostly cells and not much matrix covers body surfaces and forms glands free lateral and basal surface basement membrane avascular capable of regeneration
What is the basement membrane
extracellular material formed by secretions from epithelial and connective tissue cells
What is the purpose of basement membrane
attach epithelial cells to underlying tissues
guide cell migration for cell repair
filter
What is the function of epithelial tissues
barrier, diffusion, filtration, secretion, absorption, protection.
What do microvilli do?
increase surface area for absorption or secretion.
What is purpose of cilia
move materials across cell surface.
what does pseudostratified mean?
appears to be stratified, but all cells attached to basement membrane.
Where are simple squamous epithelium found?
lining of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, alveoli of lungs
Where are simple cuboidal epithelium found?
some with microvilli in kidney tubules and some line terminal bronchoiles of lungs
Where are simple columnar epithelium found
GI tract, microvilli, lungs, cilia.
Where are stratified squamos epithelium found
mouth, throat, esophagus.
Where is stratifued cuboidal epithelium found
sweat gland ducts
Where is stratified columnar epithelium found
mamary gland duct, larynx, urethra
where is pseudostratified columnar found
nasal sinuses, bronchi of lungs, mucus
Where are transitional epithelium found
urinary bladder, ureters.
What are the functions of cell connections
bind cells together.
holds cells together and forms permeable layer
intercellular communication
What are two types of glands
endocrine- no ducts
exocrine - ducts
What are the four ways glands are classified by structure.
simple
compound
tubular
acinar
acinar
saclike structures
What are the three types of glands by method of secretion
merocrine
apocrine
holocrine
What is merocrine
secretion with no loss of cellular material
What is apocrine
fragments in secretions. cell pinches off
What is holocrine
whole cell is part of secretion.
What are the functions of connective tissue
enclose organs connect tissues support and movement storage insulation transport protect
Wat do blasts do?
create matrix
What do cytes do?
maintain matrix
What do clasts do?
break down from remodeling
What are types of connective tissue
adipose tissue mast cells white blood cells maceophages mesenchyme
what are two types of macrophages
wandering
fixed
What are 3 major components of extracellular matrix
protein fibers
ground substance
fluids
What are the three types of protein fibers
collagen
reticular
elastic
what do reticular fibers do
form branching network. fill spaces between tissues and organs.
what makes up extracellular matrix
protein fibers
ground substance
fliud
what is function of loose connective tissue
attaches skin to underlying cells
what are two types of adipose tissues
yellow
brown
what is purpose of reticular tissue
provide super structure for lymphatic and hemopoetic tissues
what are characteristics of cartilage
firmest structure in body except bone
avascular
perichondrium
chondrocytes
What is perichondrium
dense irregular connective tissues that surronds nearly all cartilage
Chondrocytes
cartilage cells surronded by matrix and located in spaces called lacunea.
what are three types of cartilage
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic
where is hyaline cartilage found
rib cage, trachea, bronchi
what is purpose of hyaline cartilage
growth in lenght of bones
wher eif fibrocartilage found
areas of pressure on joints
where is elastic cartilage found
ears
what are two types of bone
cancelous
compact
where is cancelous bone found
skull, vertebrea, sternum, ends of long bones
what is compact bone
concentric layers around a central canal
what does hemopoetic tissue do?
form blood cells.
what are types of bone marrow
red
yellow
what are characteristics of muscle tissue
contracts or shortens with force
moves the body, pumps blood
what are three types of muscle tissue
skeltal
cardiac
smooth
what do neurons do
produce actin potentials
what are three parts of nerves tissue
cell body
axons
dendrite
what is axons function
cell process conducts impulses away from cell body
what is dendrites function
cell process receive impulses from other nuerons
what are three types of nervous tissue
multipolar, bipolar,pseudo-unipolar
what is purpose of neuroglia
suport cells of brain, spinal cord and nerves
nourish, protect and insulate neurons
what are purpose of mucous membranes
line cavities that open to outside
secrete mucus
