Final Exam Flashcards
epithelium
covers body surfaces
lines body cavities
forms majority of glands
funktions of epithelium tissue
physical protection
seletive permeability
secretions
sensations
simple epithelium
cells in direct contact with basement membrane filteration absorption secretion lines alveoli and intestines
stratified epithelium
2+ layers of ET
areas where mechanical stress is present
lines esophagus and bladder
regenerate
pseudostratified epithelium
layered bc of nuclei
sqaumous
thin and flat
cuboidal
cube like with round nucleus
columnar
tall cells with oval nuclei
transitional cells
change shape when stretched
nonkeratinized stratified squamous ET
all cells alive
kept moist with secretions
keratinized stratified squamous ET
dead cells
cells lack nuclei
filled with keratin
only in epidermis
endocrine glands
ductless
secrete hormones into blood
exocrine glands
sweat, mammary, salivary
connective tissue
most diverse, abundant and widely found
supports, protets, and binds organs
cells, protein, fibers
funktions of connective tissue
protection support and framework binding structures storage transport immune protectioj
loose CT
protein fibers are sparse and irregular arranged
supports structures
dense CT
mostly protein fibers
cartilage
firm extracellular matrix
collagen and elastic fibers
flexible
avascular
hyaline cartilage
most common
barely visible collagen fibers
pairs of cells
nose, trachea, larynx
fibrocartilage
weight bearing
resist compression
invertebral discs, pubic symphysis, knee joint
elastic cartilage
flexible
densely packed elastic fibers
bone
solid than cartilage, less flexible
compact bone
repeasting osteons
location of blood vessels and nerves
canaliculi
blood
fluid CT with plasma
muscle tissue
cells contract when stimulated= movement
skeletal muscle tissue
striated and voluntary
moves skeleton
multinucleated
cardiac muscle tissue
heart only striations one or two nuclei intercalated discs involuntary
smooth muscle tissue
visceral and involuntary
lacks striations
intestins, stomach, airway, bladder, blood vessels
nervous tissue
brain, spinal cord, nerve
plasma membrane
forms barrier separating internal and external environment
lipids and proteins
regulates movements
cilia, flagellum, microvilli
plasma membran permeability
small and nonpolar substance can pass without aid
lipid soluble or lipids cannot pass
water soluble can pass
phospholipids
form chemical barriers of cell membranes
polar and hydrophilic head
nonpolar and hydrophobic tails
components of plasma membrane
phospholipids
cholesterol
glycolipids
plasma membrane transport
physical barrier
establishes and maintains gradient
cell communication
passive vs active
passive transport
does not require energy
substances move DOWN gradient
high to low concentration
diffusion and osmosis
active transport
requires energy
moved up the gradient (against)
vesicular transport
pumped
diffusion
substance move from high to low concentration constant motion from kinetic energy continues until equilibrium reached even distribution leak
rate of diffusion depends on
measure of difference in concentraion of areas
larger gradient = faster rate
simple diffusion
molecules dissolve in lipid bilayer or between phospholipids
small and nonpolar solutes
not regulated by plasma membrane
depends on concentration gradient
facilitated diffusion
transport of small charged or polar requires assisstance from plasma membrane proteins
channel mediated and carr mediated
channel mediated diffusion
move small ions through water filled protein channels
leak and gated channels
carrier mediated diffusion
small polar molecules move via carrier protein
binding changes carrier protein shape
move down gradient
osmosis
passive movement of water through seletively permeable membrane
differences in water concentration on either side
high water to low water
net movement of water via osmosis
depend on gradient between cytosol and solution
moves down gradient
moves until reach equilibrium
goal of water is always dilute out the stronger solution
