HT LC U1 Flashcards
also called microscopic anatomy because of the small details that comprises that comprises the tissues
Histology
study of tissues of the body and how they are arranged to constitute organs
Histology
First to identify a tissue without the use of a microscope
Marie Bichat
when and where the first microscopes were constructed
1500s, Netherlands
actual inventor of microscope
Zacharias Janssen
who invented the first microscope with high magnification and good image quality
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek
membrane bound structures within cells
Organelles
How cells combine together with extracellular material and each other to form a tissue
Tissue structure
How a cell is shaped, and how the components inside cells are organized to support that cells specific function
Cellular structure
detailed analysis of organelles and inclusions
Sub-cellular structure
molecular analysis of cellular structure
Histochemical structure
special proteins called enzymes which enhances a chemical reaction
Catalysts
particular structures (usually proteins) that can be synthesized by certain cells like plasma cells so they can produce antibodies which will be utilized by the lymphatic system to fight foreign bodies
Antigency
credited with creating the first “histology” that was based on a detailed examination of tissues with the microscope
Friedrich Gustav Jacob Henle
4 basic types of tissue
Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
Characteristics of matrix
Rubber, stony or gelatinous
begins as a single cell that divides into many cells that form layers
Embryo
Difference of the Three Primary Germ Layers
- Ectoderem - outer; epidermis + nervous system
- Mesoderm - middle; forms mesenchyme, gives rise to muscle, bone and blood; connective tissues and muscle
- Endoderm - inner; mucous membranes and respiratory linings; GI tract and respiratory
reduces a 3-dimensional structure to a 2-dimensional slice
Sectioning
Difference of the 3 types of sections
- Longitudinal - along the longest direction of an organ
- Cross - perpendicular to the length of an organ
- Oblique - between cross and longitudinal
Characteristics of epithelial tissue
- one or more layers of closely adhering cells
- top : flat sheet with upper apical surface
- bottom : sits on top of basement membrane
Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- most abundant and variable tissue type
- consists of gelatinous (ground) and fibers with widely spaced cells
Functions of Connective Tissue
binding of organs, support, protection movement, storage and transport
Three types of muscle tissue
Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle
T/F Skeletal muscle completely depends on signaling from the nervous system to work properly.
TRUE
T/F Both cardiac and smooth muscle types can respond to other stimuli, such as hormones and local stimuli.
TRUE
Two types of cells which compose nervous tissue
Neurons and Glial Cells
Maintain the extracellular environment around neurons, improve signal conduction in neurons and protect them from pathogens
Glial Cells
T/F Staining patterns differ according to the histochemical properties which are brought about by the molecular structures that mainly make up a tissue
True
Small biologic entity capable of independent existence
Cell
Fertilized cell that undergoes a series of mitotic division and eventually differentiating to form a blastocyte to become a full human being
Zygote
Cell constructed by imagination to include parts which are found in the other cells
Hypothetical Cell
T/F A cell will not work well if it has only the essentials to support its functions and its existence
False
contains materials produced in the cell and formed by the Golgi apparatus
Organelles
site of ribosomes and messenger RNA synthesis and contains DNA
Nucleus
site of ribosomal RNA synthesis and ribosomal subunit assembly
Nucleolus
site of aerobic respiration and major site of ATP synthesis
Mitochondria
