Exam 2 Flashcards
What are the four groups of tissues and their functions?
Nervous- internal communication (Brain spinal cord nerves)
Muscle tissue-contracts to cause movement (skeletal cardiac smooth)
Epithelial tissue- forms boundaries between different environments protect secretes absorbs and filters (skin surface and lining of G.I. tract organs)
Connective tissue supports protects binds other tissues together (bones tendons fat)
Name seven features of epithelial tissues
Cellularity – composed almost entirely of cells.
Special contacts – form continuous sheets held together by tight junctions and desmosomes.
Polarity – apical and basal surfaces.
Basement membrane connects basal surface to underlying tissues.
Supported by connective tissue – reticular and basal laminae.
Vascular but innervated – contains no blood vessels but supplied by nerve fibers.
Regenerative – rapidly replaces lost cells by cell division.
Function of epithelial simple squamous and location.
Defusion infiltration. Provided slick friction reducing the lining in lymphatic and cardiovascular systems.
Present and kidney Glomeruli, lining of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, Sarot say.
Function and location of simple cuboidal.
Secretion and absorption.
Present in kidney tubules, ducts and secretory portions of small glands, and ovary surface.
Where are goblet cells often found? (Tissue)
Simple columnar epithelium
Function and two types of simple columnar epithelium
Absorption and secretion.
Non ciliated and ciliated.
Function and location of pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Secretion and propulsion of mucus.
Present in male sperm carrying ducts, nasal passageways, trachea, respiratory tract.
Function and location of stratified squamous epithelium.
Protection of underlining areas subjected to abrasion.
External part of skins epidermis, linings of the esophagus, mouth, and vagina.
What is a gland? And how are they classified?
One or more cells that makes and secretes and aqueous fluid.
Site of product release (endocrine or exocrine)
And
Relative number of cells forming a gland (unicellular or multicellular)
Explain endocrine gland
Ductless glands that produce hormones.
Secretions include amino acid, proteins, glycoprotein, and steroids.
Do not leave the body.
Explain exocrine glands
Secrete their products antibody services or into body cavities through a duct.
Goblet cell
Leave the body.
What are the three modes of secretion?
Merocrine (happy) – products are secreted by exocytosis.
Apocrine- products are secreted by large scale exocytosis
Holocrine (death)- Products are secreted by the rupture of gland cells.
What does blast, cyte , clast mean?
Blast-immature/building (mototic)
Cyte-mature (maintains health)
Clast-break down
Functions of connective tissue? (4)
Binding and support, protection, insulation and transportation
What is the common embryonic origin of connective tissue?
Mesenchyme
What are the three structural elements of connective tissue?
Ground substance – unstructured material that fills space between cells (interstitial fluid).
Fibers – collagen, elastic, or reticular
Cells – fibroblast, chondroblast, osteoblast, hematopoietic stem cells
Explain the fibers: collagen elastin and reticular
Collagen-tough, provides high tensile strength
Elastin – long thin fibers that allow stretch
Reticular – branched collagenous fibers that form delicate networks
What cells provide the following: production, nutrient storage, defense, and response to injury?
Production – fibroblasts, connective tissue proper hematobium we attic stem cells (blood)
Nutrient storage – adipose cells
Defense – white blood cells, attack foreign bodies plasma cells produce antibodies
Response to injury – mast cells
What is mesenchyme?
Embryonic connective tissue that produces all connective tissues
What is areolar or connective tissue made of, its function, and where is it located?
All three fibers, interstitial fluid, fibroblast, micro phages, mast cells and some white blood cells.
Wraps and Cushions organs.
Widely distributed throughout the body.
Adipose tissue matrix function and location?
Matrix similar to areolar closely packed a adipocytes.
Reserves food stores, insulates against heat loss supports and protects. Found under the skin, around kidneys, with an abdomen, and brass. Local fat deposit serve nutrient needs of highly active organs.
Two types of fats?
White and brown fat.
Reticular connective tissue?
Loose ground substance with reticular fibers. Reticular cells lie in fiber network. Forms a soft internal skeleton that supports other cells. Found lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen.
Dense regular?
Parallel collagen fibers with a few elastic fibers. Fibroblast. Attaches muscles to bones or other mussels and bone to bone. Found in tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses.
Dense irregular connective tissue?
Irregularly arranged collagen fibers with elastin fibers. Fibroblast. Withstand tension from different directions. In the dermis, submucosa of the digestive tract, and fibrous organ capsules
Hyaline cartilage connective tissue?
Collagen fibers.
Chondrocytes in lacunae. Supports, reinforces, cushions, and resist compression. Forms the costal cartilage. In the embryonic skeleton, end of long bones, nose, trachea, Larynx.
Elastic cartilage connective tissue?
Similar to hyaline but with more elastic fibers. Maintain shape and structure while allowing flexibility. Sports external ear and epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage cartilage connective tissue?
Similar to hyaline cartilage but less firm with the collagen fibers. Provides tensile strength and absorbs compression shock. Found in intervertabral Discs, the pubic synthesis, and discs of the knee joint
Connective tissue: bone?
Hard calcified matrix with collagen fibers. Osteocytes in lacunae.
Supports protects and provides levers for muscular action. Stores calcium is minerals and fat. Marrow inside bones is the site of hematopoiesis.
Connective tissue: blood?
Red and white cells in matrix. Contained in blood vessels. Formed elements: erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes. Functions and transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, waste.
Name the five white blood cells and their functions.
Neutrophil – phagocytosis
Eosinophil- destroy parasitic worms
Basophil – histamine production
Monocyte – phagocytosis
Lymphocyte – antibodies/direct attack
~ T lymphocyte (thymus)-attacks infected cells
~ B lymphocyte (bone marrow) antibodies
~ NK lymphocyte (natural killer)-attacks infected cells
Nervous tissue?
Branch neurons with dendrites and axons and neuralgia (glia)
Transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors to the factors. Found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Muscle tissue: skeletal?
Long cylindrical multinucleate cells with striations. Initiate and controls voluntary movement. Found in skeletal muscles that attaches bones or skin.
Muscle tissue: cardiac?
Branch striated you multinucleate cells interlocking at intercalated disc. Propels blood into circulation. Found in the walls of the heart.
Muscle tissue: smooth
Sheets of spindle-shaped cells with central nuclei that have no striations. Propel substances along internal passageways. Found in the walls of hollow organs.
Epithelial membranes: cutaneous?
Cutaneous – skin
Epithelial membranes? Mucus:
Mucus – lines body cavities open to the exterior (digestive and respiratory tracts)
Serous – moist membranes found in close ventral body cavity
Explain tissue trauma
Causes inflammation characterized by: dilation of blood vessels,
Increase in blood vessel permeability,
Four cardinal signs: redness, heat, swelling, and pain
3 Steps in tissue repair?
Inflammation sets the stage.
Organization restores the blood supply.
Regeneration and fibrosis affect permanent repair.
Explain the step of tissue repair: inflammation.
Release of inflammatory chemicals,
dilation of blood vessels,
increase in blood vessel permeability,
clotting occurs
Explain step in tissue repair: organization and restored blood supply.
The blood clot is replaced with granulation tissue.
Epithelium begins to regenerate.
Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers to bridge the gap.
Debris is phagocytized.
Explain steps and tissue repair: regeneration and fibrosis.
The scab detaches.
Fibrous tissue matures, epithelium thickens and begins to resemble adjacent tissue.
Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with underlying scar tissue.
