Final Exam - old material Flashcards
What is under epithelial tissue?
Connective tissue
Is epithelial tissue vascular? Innervated?
Avascular but innervated
What is the polarity of epithelial tissue?
It has distinct apical and basal surfaces
What are the cell junctions of epithelial tissue?
Tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions
What are the four properties of muscle tissue?
Excitability (nerve signal excited muscle)
Contractility (muscle contracts)
Extensibility (muscle can go back to resting length after contraction)
Elasticity (after being stretched, muscle resumes resting length)
What composes neural tissue?
Neurons and glia
What are the 4 functions of connective tissue?
Connects tissues and organs
Forms skeleton
Carries and stores nutrients
Supports blood vessels and nerves
What are the four classes of connective tissues?
Connective tissue proper
Cartilage
Bone
Blood
What are the 5 layers of the epidermis from superficial to deep?
Stratum corneum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum spinosum
Stratum basale
What are the characteristics of the stratum corneum?
Many layers thick
Dead keratinocytes
Glycolipids for waterproofing
What are the characteristics of the stratum lucidum?
Translucent band
only in thick skin
What are the characteristics of the stratum granulosum?
1-5 layers flattened keratinocytes
What are the characteristics of the stratum spinosum?
Several layers of cells
Spiny looking cells
Dendritic cells
What are the characteristics of the stratum basale?
1 layer
High mitotic activity
Mostly keratinocytes but some melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells
Desmosomes hold cells together
What are the layers of the dermis from superficial to deep?
Papillary
Reticular
(hypodermis - not technically a part of integument)
What kind of CT is in the papillary layer?
Loose areolar
What kind of CT is in the reticular layer?
Dense irregular
What is the cutaneous membrane?
Skin
What does the mucous membrane cover?
Lines organs and cavities that open to the outside of the body
Where are mucous membranes found?
Respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
What do serous membranes cover?
Line closed cavities and their organs
Where can you find serous membranes?
Surrounding lungs (pleura)
Surrounding heart (pericardium)
Surrounding internal organs (peritoneum)
What is an osteoblast?
Cells that form bone tissue
What is an osteoclast?
Cells that destroy bone tissue
What is an osteocyte?
Bone cell
What is an osteon?
Make up bone
Long and cylindrical
Run parallel to long axis of the bone
What are the concentric circles in an osteon celled?
Lamellae
What form between adjacent lamellae?
Lacune
