Exercise 4: Tissues (Lab) Flashcards
Exhibit cellularity and perform protection, absorption, filtration and secretion functions
Epithelial Tissue
Fit closely together to form compact cells arranged in continuos sheets
Epithelial cells
Avascular and are nourished by diffusion from the capillaries of underlying connective tissues
Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissues classification ( type of cells present)
Squamous
Cuboidal
Columnar
Transitional
Epithelial tissues - the number of cell layers
Simple
Stratified
Simple epithelial tissue
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple columnar epithelium
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Consists of only one layer of squamous cells
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium can be found in
Air sacs of the lungs
Walls of capillaries ( endothelium)
Serous membrane or serosae
Composed of one layer of cuboidal resting on a basement membrane
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Simple cuboidal epithelium can be found in
Walls of kidney tubules
Glands and their ducts
Surface of ovaries
Made up of one layer of cells that are taller than they are wide
Simple columnar epithelium
Lines the entire length of digestive tract from the stomach to the anus
Simple columnar epithelium
Secrete mucus for lubrication
Goblet cells
Appears to be stratified but is actually a single layer of cells, all of which touch the basement membrane although not all reach the apex
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Give the false impression of bing stratified
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Found in the respiratory tract
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Most common of the stratified epithelia and consists of several layers
Stratified squamous epithelium
Found in areas that are often subjected to friction or abuse
Stratified epithelium
Lines mouth, esophagus, and vagina
Non- keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Found in the epidermis of the skin
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Rare types of epithelia and are only found in the ducts of large glands
Stratified cuboidal and stratified columnar
Two cell layers and the apical layer of cells are cuboidal in shape
Stratified cuboidal tissue
Consist of basal cells that vary in size and shape and apical cells that are columnar
Stratified columnar epithelial tissue
Highly modified, stratified type of epithelium where cells change in shape depending on whether the organ is distended or contracted
Transitional epithelium
Forms lining or the urinary bladder, ureters,, and part o the urethra
Transitional epithelium
Most abundant primary tissue in the body
Connective tissue
Functions of connective tissue
Connecting and binding body parts together
Protecting the organs
Provide framework for movement of muscles
Loose and dense connective tissue, cartilage, bone and blood
Mature connective tissues
From the extracellular matrix of loose connective tissues
Fibroblasts
Formed by the chrondroblasts and maintained by chrondrocytes
Extracellular matrix
Enables connective tissues to form packaging materials around organs, bear weight, withstand abrasion and other abuses, and absorb large amounts of water to serve as reservoir in the body
Extracellular matrix
Loose connective tissue
Areolar connective tissue
Reticular
Adipose
Universal packing material that binds together and keeps them in their proper position
Areolar connective tissue
Most abundant type of connective tissue
Areolar connective tissue
Predominantly composed of reticular fibers which are synthesized by reticular cells
Reticular connective tissue
Fibroblasts that synthesize more reticular fibers than collage out fibers
Reticular cells
Forms the stroma in lymphoid organs like the spleen and Lymph nodes
Reticular connective tissue
Forms the hypodermics or subcutaneous tissue beneath the skin where it serves as an insulator, protecting the body from extreme heat and cold
Adipose connective tissue
Contains Fibroblasts, ground substance and adipose cells
Adipose connective tissue
Dense connective tissue
Dense regular connective tissue
Dense irregular
Made up of extracellular matrix that is packed with collagenous fibers that are compactly arranged in an orderly manner with fibroblasts cells squeezed in between the collagenous bundles
Dense regular connective tissue
Attach muscles to bones
Tendons
Connect one bone to another
Ligaments
Consists of densely packed collagenous fibers that are arranged in a disorderly or irregular manner
Dense irregular connective tissue
Dense irregular connective tissue found in
Dermis of the skin
Perichondrium of cartilage
Periosteum of bones
Dense, firm but liable, Avascular type of connective tissue with an extracellular matrix consisting of collagenous and elastic fibers
Cartilage
Responsible for its tensile strength and gelatinous ground substance provides for its resiliency
Collagenous fibers
Nourished through diffusion from underlying vascular tissues
Chondrocytes
Predominant cartilage in the body and precursor of most bones
Hyaline cartilage
