25
Q

Epithelial Tissue

A
  • diffusion and filtration
  • avascular & innervated
  • cells are quickly lost but quickly regenerated.
26
Q

Specialized contacts between epithelial cells

A

tight junctions
desmosomes
gap junctions - allow sharing of intracellular material.

27
Q

Classifications of epithelial cells

A

simple
stratified

squamous
cuboidal
columnar

28
Q

Simple squamous

A

diffusion and filtration
renal corpuscles
alveoli of lungs
lining of blood vessels and organs like the stomach, lungs, heart, etc.

29
Q

Simple Cuboidal

A

Secretion and Absorption
kidney tubules
ovary surface
secretory part of glands

30
Q

Simple Columnar

A

Secretion and Absorption
Nonciliated - digestive tract
Ciliated - Bronchi, uterine tubes & uterus.

31
Q

Pseudostratified Columnar

A

Nonciliated - ducts of male reprodutcive tubes

Ciliated - trachea and upper respiratory.

32
Q

Stratified

A

named based on structure of the most apical layer of tissue

33
Q

Stratified Squamous

A

keratinized - epidermis

Nonkeratinized - moist linings of body openings.

34
Q

Stratified Cuboidal

A

protective

mammary, salivary, and some sweat glands

35
Q

Stratified Columnar

A

protection and secretion
not common
male urethra

36
Q

Connective Tissue types

A

Connective tissue proper
cartilage
bone tissue
blood

37
Q

Structural Elements of Connective Tissue? & Made by what cells?

A
Fibres 
- collagen
- reticular fibers
- elastin 
Ground Substance 
Made by fibroblasts
38
Q

Loose Connective Tissue

A

areolar - in mucous membranes
adipose
reticular

Supported by all 3 fibers

39
Q

Dense Connective Tissue

A

Regular - collagen - in ligaments and tendons

Elastic - elastin - in arteries and bronchi.

40
Q

3 Types of Membranes

A
  • cutaneous
  • mucous - line body cavities exposed to the exterior
  • serous - line body cavities exposed to the interior
41
Q

3 types of muscle tissue

A

skeletal
cardiac
smooth

42
Q

skeletal muscle

A

multinucleated
looks striped/striated
weakly regenerative

43
Q

cardiac muscle

A
contracts voluntarily 
doesn't fatigue
cells split and join others
intercalating discs
no regeneration
44
Q

smooth muscle

A

no striation

involuntary control

45
Q

Nervous Tissue

A

no regeneration

46
Q

chondrocytes

A

cartilage cells located in lacunae

47
Q

lacunae

A

cavity in compact bones for chondorcytes

48
Q

perichondrium

A

surrounds cartilage

allowing for growth and repair

49
Q

Types of cartilage

A

hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage

50
Q

hyaline cartilage

A

translucent
fiber = collagen
on the top and bottom of bones.
Allows for bone growth

51
Q

elastic cartilage

A

fiber = elastin
bendy
found in the external ear

52
Q

fibrocartilage

A

resists compression and tension
found in the pubic symphysis
allows for slight movement
intermediate between hyaline and elastic cartilage

53
Q

Apposition Growth

A

growth from inside

chondroblasts in the perichondrium produce new cartilage

54
Q

Interstitial growth

A

growth from outside

chondrocytes within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix

55
Q

Bone composition

A

35% organic - collagen

65% inorganic - mineral salts

56
Q

osteogenic cells

A

stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts

57
Q

osteoblasts

A

produce bone matrix

58
Q

osteoid

A

bone matrix

59
Q

osteocytes

A

bone cells

60
Q

osteoclasts

A

derived from white blood cells
multinucleated
destroy and resorb bone cells.
secrete HCl and lysosomal enzymes

61
Q

Bone Types

A

Long
Short
Flat
Irregular

62
Q

Characteristics of Long Bones

A

well vascularized
compact bone and spongy bone
yellow and red marrow - marrow holds stem cells.
