Endo, Exo, CT, Cartilage & Bones Flashcards
Secretes hormones to the interstitial
fluid and diffuse directly to the blood stream without flowing to a duct
ENDOCRINE GLAND
Location of Endocrine gland
Pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid and parathryoid
Functions as hormones regulate metabolic and physiological process to maintain homeostasis
ENDOCRINE GLAND
Secretes products released into ducts that
lead to the surface or a covering or a lining
EXOCRINE GLANDS
Location of Exocrine glands
Sweat and sebaceous glands of the skin,
salivary glands
It produce sweat to help lower body
temperature, oil and earwax to protect and
keep moisture saliva to lubricate and digest
food
EXOCRINE GLANDS
Examples of multicellular glands
Sudoriferous (sweat) and Sebaceous glands
secretions synthesized from the Ribosomes, attached to rough ER and processed and sorted by Golgi complex and released via exocytosis
Merocrine Glands
accumulate in the apical surface before secretion, the portion of accumulation is pinched off by exocytosis then the cell repairs
Apocrine Glands
accumulate in the cytosol and then cell ruptures (secretions of lipid rich Sebaceous glands of skin)
Holocrine Glands
The most abundant tissue in the body
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
It is vascularized and supplied with nerves
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
It bind, support and strengthen the tissue, protect and insulate internal organs and compartmentalize structures, major transport system of the body, primary location of
stored energy (adipose/fat) main source of immune response
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
It originates from Mesenchymal cells
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
What are the two basic elements of connective tissues
Extracellular matrix and Cells
Extracellular matrix is composed of?
Protein fibers and ground substance
Is present in all CT, most numerous, secretes fibers and ground substance of ECM
Fibroblasts
Comes from monocytes, Phagocytes and scavenger cells
Macrophage
Comes from B cells and secretes antibodies that attack pathogens
Plasma cells
It is most abundant near blood vessels and produces histamine, can also kill bacteria
Mast cells
For fat cells or adipose cells, store triglycerides
Adipocytes
It is found deep to the skin and internal organs such as heart and kidneys
Adipocytes
small number and mainly : Neutrophils and Eosinophils
Leukocytes
It may be fluid, semi-fluid, gelatinous or calcified
Ground substance
It Support and bind cells, store water and organic molecules
Ground substance
The main adhesion protein that bind collagen fibers and cells to the ground
substance
Fibronectin
