HISTOLOGY Flashcards
What are the four types of tissues?
Connective, epithelial, muscle, nervous
What are the seven classifications of epithelial tissue?
Simple squamus, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional
What are the functions of epithelial tissue?
Covers & protects surfaces Support and attachment Movement and locomotion Transport of materials (blood tissue) Secretion Absorption
single layer • Squamous • Cuboidal • Columnar
simple
multi layer • squamous • keratinized • cuboidal • Columnar
stratified
columnar(illusion)
Pseudostratified
cuboidal to clumnar
Transitional
This is a type of epithelium tissue that can mostly be found in the epidermis, lining/walls intestine, and respiratory tract
Simple
What is the description and function of simple squamous?
Flat/scale-like and its responsible for diffusion, osmosis, and gas exchange.
this is where the simple squamus is located
Alveolar walls, capillaries
What is the description and function of simple cuboidal?
cube-like. Secretion and absorption
this is where the simple cuboidal is located
Walls of respiratory system
What is the description and function of simple columnar?
It’s tall and thin. It is responsible for absorption and secretion
this is where the simple columnar is located
lining of digestive system
What is the description and function of stratified squamous?
It is several layers of flattened cells. it can be keratinized or non keratinized. Its function is protection deals with friction
this is where the stratified squamous is located
Epidermis, mouth throat, esophagus
What is the function of stratified cuboidal?
secretion, absorption
this is where the stratified cuboidal is located
Kidney, tubules, thyroid glands
What is the function of stratified columnar?
It it for protection
this is where the stratified columnar is located
epiglottis
What is the description and function of pseudostratified?
Tall, thin ciliated. Responsible for mucus secretion
this is where the pseudostratified is located
Nasal cavity, auditory tubes, pharynx, trachea, bronchi
What is the description and function of transitional?
The shape of the cell is stratified cuboidal. It is cuboidal if it’s not stretched. It is squamous when stretched. It controls volume of fluid
this is where the transitional is located
Urinary bladder, ureter, urethra`
Secretory organs
Epithelial in nature
Glands
type of gland that has ducts and can be found in lining of the stomach
Exocrine glands
type of gland that has no ducts and can be found in the endocrine system. Responsible for secretion of hormones
Endocrine glands
Producing and releasing secretions
Glandular Epithelium
3 Main Types of glandular epithelium
Merocrine (Ex. Salivary glands)
◦ Apocrine (mammary glands)
◦ Holocrine (Sebaceous glands
Give exocrine gland types (simple)
tubular, branched tubular, coiled tubular, branched alveolar
Give exocrine gland types (compound)
tubular and alveolar
give endocrine gland types
pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, testes
Give the function of connective tissue
= Enclosure and separation of structures
❖ support and movement
❖ Storage of compounds (fats)
❖ Cushion(shock absorber) and insulation (thermoregulation)
❖ Transport of materials
❖ Protecting (the immune system)
When did connective tissue begins?
It begins embryonic stage (3rd-4th week)
CONNECTIVE TISSUE CELLS
Fibroblasts (fibrin, rebind, renew) ❑ Fibrocytes ❑Osteoclasts, osteocytes, osteoblasts ❑Chondroblasts, chondrocytes ❑ macrophages (“large eaters”) ❑ Mast cells (secrete histamine, heparin) ❑ Lymphocytes (making antibodies) ❑ Adipocytes (adipose tissue) ❑ Melanocytes (skin pigmentation)
It is a cell of connective tissue that is responsible for bone development
osteoclasts
White blood cells is consideres as ___
macrophages
Primitive cells to develop cartilage
Chondrocytes (cartilage)
responsible for repairing damage or wound
fibrin
fat cells deposited to skin
adipocytes
A bundle of protein units that are slightly flexible , but very strong, typically arranged in one direction. ➢Ex. tendons
Collagen fibers
➢Bundle of protein units that are VERY FLEXIBLE ➢Still strong
➢Ex. Intervertebral disc, joints
multi-directional
Elastic Fibers
➢same subunits as collagen but not in one direction
➢Ex. liver
Reticular fibers
Give the four classification of connective tissue
=Loose
=Dense
=Supporting connective tissue
=Fluid connective tissue
Classification of connective tissue that has (fewer fibers more matrix)
Loose
Areolar ; ____
❑Adipose :____
❑Reticular : ____
Areolar – bone cells ❑Adipose – dermis of skin ❑Reticular – lymphatic tissue
Classification of connective tissue that has (more fibers, less matrix, ground substance)
Dense
these are under dense connective tissue
regular collagenous
❑ regular elastic
❑Irregular collagenous ❑Irregular elastic
It is a classification of connective tissue responsible for attachment and movement.
Supporting Connective Tissue
give types of cartilage
❑Hyaline ❑Fibrocartilage ❑Elastic
give types of bone
=Spongy
= Compact
Under this classification of connective is blood and has a hematopoietic function. It has more fibers, less ground substance
Fluid Connective Tissue
What is the fluid portion of blood?
plasma
