Lab notes Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Lines or covers internal and external body surfaces
- 3 Shapes-Cuboidal, Columnar and Squamous
- Stratified (more than one layer) and Simple (One layer)
Epithelial simple squamous
Delicate, thin-gas exhange
Epithelial stratified squamous
Tough, anti-abrasive coverings, rapid mitosis
Epithelial simple cuboidal
Absorb and secrete. Found in small tubules
Epithelial transitional
Change from cuboidal to squamous-line urinary passages
Epithelial simple columnar
Absorb and secrete. Found in large tubes
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
In larger respiratory tubes
Muscle-Contractile tissue-
Cylindrical cells with evident nuclei
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue
1) Skeletal
2) Cardiac
3) Smooth
Skeletal muscle
Large, striated cells with multiple peripheral nuclei
Cardiac muscle
Small, striated cells with branches and intercalated discs
Smooth muscle
Small, non striated cells with tapering ends
Nervous tissue
Conductive cells and supportive cells
- Neuron-conductive cell with dendrites, nerve cell body and axon
- Neuroglia-Supportive cells of neurons
Epidermis
Stratified squamous epithelium
Hypodermis
Marked by adipose tissue
Accessory structures derived from the epidermis
1) Hair
2) Nails
3) Glands
The hair has
1) Follicle
2) Sebaceous gland
3) Shaft
4) Root
5) Hair papilla
6) Arrector pili muscle
The nails have
1) Free edge
2) Nail body (plate)
3) Lunula
4) Nail root
5) Nail bed
6) Eponychium (cuticle)
7) Hyponychium (quick)
8) Nail groove
9) Nail fold
The glands have
1) Sweat glands
2) Sebaceous glands
Golgi body
Modifies, packages, and sorts newly synthesized proteins for secretion, inclusion in new plasma membranes, or lysosomal enzyme synthesis
Structure of the Golgi body
Stacked series of flattened smooth membrane sacs with associated transport vesicles (also called shuttle vesicles)
Endoplasmic Recticulum (ER)
An extensive intracellular membrane network throughout the cytoplasm. Composed of 2 distinct regions that differ in structure and function: Smooth endoplasmic recticulum (smooth ER or SER) and rough endoplasmic recticulum (rough ER or RER)
Smooth ER
Continuous with rough ER. Walls have a smooth appearance. Resembles multiple interconnected branches of tubules. The smooth ER
