Final Exam Flashcards
(111 cards)
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
