Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
Organization of the body
Cells –> tissues –> organ –> systems
Tissue Definition
a grouping of similar cell types with similar functions that eventually make up the structure of organs (groups of tissues)
Epithelial Tissue Definition
lines voids (cavities, organs, or a body); protection, selectively permeable barrier, sensory surfaces, secretion, regenerative, closely packed, polarity (one attached surface [basement membrane, which stains dark] where the cells grow outward from)
Epithelial Tissue Types
Simple Squamous
Simple Cuboidal
Simple Columnar
Pseudostratified Columnar
Stratified Squamous
Simple Squamous
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer, irregular, flattened shape
- Function: Secretion of lubricating substances
Location: Air sacs (alveoli) in lungs; more geometric shape & note capillaries
Simple Sqamous
EPITHELIUM
Simple Cuboidal
EPITHELIUM
- Single layer, cube like
- central nuclei looks like a baloon in a box
- job: secretion + absorption
- Location: kidney tubules, small gland ducts
Simple Cuboidal
EPITHELIUM
Simple Columnar
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer with round/oval nuclei; taller than they are wide
- Job: absorb, secrete mucus… can also have microvilli
- Location: digestive tract lining
Simple Columnar
EPITHELIUM
Pseudostratified Columnar
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer of cells that appears to be multiple layers due to height variance and location of nuclei
- May contain goblet cells and bear cilia
- Job: secrete mucus
- Location: trachea
Pseudostratified Columnar
EPITHELIUM
Stratified Squamous
EPITHELIUM
- Flat cells in more than 1 layer
- Job: protect underlying tissues
- Location: epidermis
Stratified Squamous
EPITHELIUM
Connective Tissue Definition
“cells embedded in a matrix;” protect (defense), structure, & bind together (connective tissue after epithelial to connect to muscle)
Connective Tissue Types
Loose Connective (LC)
LC, Adipose
Hyaline Cartilage
Bone
Monocyte (blood)
Neutrophil (blood)
Lymphycyte (blood)
RBC/ Erythrocytes (blood)
Platelets (blood)
Loose Connective Tissue
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- gel like matrix with a jumble of fibers
- job: wrap and cushion
- location: under skin
Loose Connective Tissue
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Adipose Tissue (LC)
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- Large, round vacuoles (adipose [fat] cells) that have nucleus pushed to the side by large fat droplet
- job: energy storage, support/protect organs
- Location: Aveolar connective tissue, subcutaneous tissues, bone marrow; fat
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Adipose
Hyaline Cartilage
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- Smooth, amorphous matrix (that will appear uniformly stained) with cells suspended in it (lacunae and chondrocytes)
- Job: structure and support
- Location: joints, trachea
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Hyaline Cartilage
Lacunae
Chambers in hyaline cartilage that contain chondrocytes
Chondrocytes
Located in the lacunae in cartilage
Secrete matrix
Lamellae
Concentric rings of bone
Contain Haversian Canals
Haversian Canals
Canal in the center of bone that allow nerves and blood vessels to reach osteocytes
Osteocytes
Sit in lacunae and secrete bone matrix
Canaliculi radiate out of them
