Lec 02 Flashcards
By what means cells are grouped?
Physically and functionally
By what materials cell are grouped?
-Extracellular matrix
-Special cell adhesion proteins
ECM has variable —————?
Consistency
ECM different consistency
1- Bone
2- Blood
Cell junction types
1- Gap junction — heart contract as a whole
2- Tight junction — lumen, making a barrier
3- Anchoring junction — anchor cells to ECM or to each others
Gap junction example
Connexin proteins
Tight junction example
Claudin and Occludin proteins
Anchor junction example
Desmosome: cell-to-cell anchoring Ex:
Cadherin proteins
Hemidesmosomes: cell-to-ECM anchoring
Four major tissue types of body
1- Epithelial
2- Connective tissue cells
3- Muscle
4- Neural
Epithelial tissue
-Found at surfaces
-Protect internal environment of the body AND regulate exchange of materials
Epithelial cell types
Exchange, protective, ciliated, transporting, secretory
Connective tissue
MADE:
Cells and collagen
FUNCTION:
Structural support AND physical barriers
Connective cell types
Blood cell, bone cell, fibroblast
Muscle tissue function
Generate contractile force
Muscle cell type
Smooth, skeletal, cardiac
Neural tissue function
NEURONS:
Info transfer (chemical/electrical)
GLIAL CELLS:
Support for neurons
Epithelial tissue types
1– exchange: lungs gas transport
2- protective: epidermis
3- ciliated: protection upper airways
4- secretory: secret oil/sweat
5- transporting: small instestine
Apical
Faces out of body
Basolateral
Faces ECM and ECF membrane
Connective tissue types
1- loose — beneath the skin — fibroblasts
2- dense — strength and flexibility — smooth muscles
3- adipose tissue
4- blood — rbc/wbc
5- cartilage — fat cells
6- bone
Only excitable cells
Muscle and neural tissue
