Integrating Cell Into Tissues And Organs Flashcards
Where do cells of body originate from?
Epiblast
Name 4 things that hold cells together
Cell-cell adhesion molecules
ECM proteins
Internal-external scaffolding
Close proximity/ pressure effects
4 categories of body tissue
Epithelial
Connective tissue
Muscle
Nerve
What stem cell is responsible for the production of connective tissue?
Mesenchymal stem cell
Name the Components of connective tissue
Cells - fibroblasts etc
Fibres
Ground substance - GAGs
Where is epithelial tissue found?
Line all cavities and free surfaces
Functions of epithelial tissue
Barrier- protective
What is the basal lamina?
Layer of connective tissue beneath the epithelial layer
What tissue originates from the ectoderm?
Epidermis
What tissue originates from the endoderm?
Mucosal membrane epithelial layers
Line cavities and free surfaces
What time originates from the mesoderm?
Serous membranes, the inner lining of body compartments
Name adherence systems found on the lateral surface.
Tight junctions Adhesion junctions Desmosomes Gap junctions Cell adhesion molecules
What is paracellular transport?
In gut the tight junctions transiently open to allow small molecules to cross the underlying tissue
Name adherence systems found on the basal surface.
Hemi desmosomes
Focal adhesions
Integrins
Where is mucosal membrane found?
Lines moist hollow internal organs of the body
continuous with skin at mouth, anus and vagina
What is a mucosal membrane made up of?
organ with all 4 tissues
epithelial layer
lamina propria ( connective tissue layer)
Smooth muscle layer
carries nerves. blood vessels and lymphatic system
What are the main functions of mucosal membranes
stop pathogens and dirt
prevent dehydration
lubrication
Name three examples of mucosal membranes in the body
urinary tract
respiratory tract
gastrointestinal tract
Name the 5 layers of the mucosal membrane in the GI tact.
- mucosa- epithelium and lamina propria
- muscular mucosae- discontinuous SM
- submucosa- connective tissue
- muscularis externa- sm
- Serosa- connective tissue
in the muscularis externa in the GI tract what are the outer and inner smooth muscles?
inner = circular outer= longitudinal
Name the main functions of the mucosal membrane in the GI tract.
- absorb substances from the lumen
- prevent ingress of pathogens
- move contents and expel waste
What is the urinary tract made up of?
kidneys
ureter
bladder
urethra
What is the functional unit of the kidney?
nephron
What structures does blood flow through in the kidney?
glomerulus primal tube loop of Henle distal use collecting duct
