Lab-Tissues Flashcards
Two or more cells with a common function
Tissues
Study of tissues
Histology
Forms large continuous sheets
Avascular
Helps form skin
Helps protect, with absorption, filtration, and secretion
Able to regenerate or repair itself quickly if injured
Epithelial tissue
Epithelium tissue that consists of flat cells with 6 sides
Squamous epithelium
Epithelial tissue whose cells are cube shaped with nucleus in the center
Cuboidal epithelium
Epithelial tissue that consists of tall cells
Columnar epithelium
Number of layers in simple epithelium
single layer
Number of layers in stratified epithelium
Two or more layers of cells
Single layer of flat cells that allows gasses to diffuse from blood to lungs and lungs to blood
Simple squamous epithelium
Single layer of cells that look like boxes
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Tall cells that are found in the digestive tract
Simple columnar epithelium
Type of cells that secrete mucus for lubrication
Goblet cells
Extensions from the cell membrane
microvilli
Fingerlike extensions from the cell membrane, looks like hair
Cilia
Found in tissue exposed to everyday wear and tear-mouth, esophagus, and skin; consists of multiple layers of cells
Stratified squamous epithelium
Found in the urinary bladder, cells have a dome shape to them
Transitional epithelium
Found in blood, under the skin, bone, around many organs; usually has a large blood supply
Connective tissue
Contains fibers that are loosely arranged around cells
Loose connective tissue
Has collagen and elastin fibers in a gel-like intercellular matrix
Areolar tissue
Stores fat; prevents the loss of heat from the body
Adipose tissue
Wavy appearance, contains many collagen and elastin fibers, collagen is the main type of fiber that are parallel to each other
Dense regular connective
Connect muscle to bone
Tendons
Connect bone to bone
Ligaments
General term for connective tissue
Fascia
Swirly appearance, collagen fibers are not parallel to each other
Dense irregular connective tissue
Not as hard as bone, consists of 80% water and doesnt have a blood supply
Cartilage
Produces cartilage
Chondrocytes
Membrane that surrounds the cartilage, has a great blood supply
Perichondrium
Name the three types of cartilage
Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibrocartilage
Type of cartilage that is most abundant and found in the larynx, end of nose, trachea, and end of long bones
Hyaline Cartilage
Type of cartilage that is found in the outer ear
Elastic cartilage
Strongest type of cartilage found in our body
Fibrocartilage
Osseous tissue, storage site for calcium
bone
Bone cell
Osteocyte
