in the joints

33
Q

change in type of cell

A

Metaplasia

34
Q

What is happening when smoking changes trachea from pseudostratified columnar epithelium to nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

A

metaplasia

35
Q

increase in size of cells of existing tissue

A

Hypertrophy

36
Q

increase in the number of cells of a tissue

A

Hyperplasia

37
Q

tumor or abnormal growth of cells in tissue

38
Q

decrease in size or number of existing cells

39
Q

term for tissue death

40
Q

Five Changes to aging tissues

A 
Cells get smaller
 Cells get fewer
 Cells don’t work as well
 Cells don’t repair/replace as well
 Cells die
41
Q

3 characteristics of epithelial tissues

A

Cellularity, Polarity, Attachment to a basement membrane

42
Q

epithelial tissue is composed almost entirely of tightly packed cells

A

Cellularity

43
Q

epithelium has an apical surface exposed to the external environment or internal body space

44
Q

epithelial layer is bound at its basal layer to a basement membrane as a molecular barrier and to strengthen the bond to underlying connective tissue

A

Attachment to a basement membrane

45
Q

A thin layer of connective tissue underlying the epithelium that is a molecular barrier and strengthens the attachment to underlying connective tissue

A

basement membrane

46
Q

3 layers associated with the basement membrane

A

Lamina lucida, lamina desa, and reticular lamina

47
Q

a glycoprotein constituent of mucus

48
Q

Substances that dissolve in water and readily conduct electrical current

A

electrolytes

49
Q

Clusters of cells that produce a secretion and one or more ducts

50
Q

Unicellular glands that secrete mucin

A

goblet cell

51
Q

glands that have a single unbranched duct

A

simple glands

52
Q

glands that have branched ducts

A

compounds glands

53
Q

tissue that lacks an apical surface; it is the most diverse, abundant, and widely distributed form of tissue

A

Connective tissue

54
Q

3 classifications of connective tissue

A

Connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue, fluid connective tissue

55
Q

6 functions of connective tissue

A

Physical protection, Support and structural framework, binding of structures, storage, transport, immune protection

56
Q

bones of the skull and thoracic cage protect delicate organs, adipose tissue cushions organs

A

Physical protection

57
Q

bones serve as the framework for the body, keep airways open, and provide supportive capsules around kidney and spleen

A

Support and structural framework

58
Q

Ligaments bind bone to bone; tendons muscle to bone; connective tissue skin to underlying muscle and bone

A

Binding of structures

59
Q

adipose tissue stores energy, bones store calcium and phosphorus

60
Q

blood carries gasses, nutrients, and wastes

61
Q

contains leukocytes and other immune cells

A

Immune protection

62
Q

Necrosis of soft tissue due to restricted arterial blood flow

63
Q

necrosis of the intestine due to an obstruction that restricts blood flow to the intestines

A

Intestinal gangrene

64
Q

usually occurs when a body part is desiccated, and blood supply is constricted, eg complication of frostbite

A

Dry gangrene

65
Q

caused by bacterial infection of tissues that have lost their blood supply

A

Wet gangrene

66
Q

usually in muscle tissue, gas is caused by bacteria clostridium, which invade necrotic tissue and produce gas

A

Gas gangrene

67
Q

Support, maintenance, and replacement of cells and extracellular matrix becomes less efficient. Epithelia becomes thinner; tissue repair takes longer; bones become brittle; muscle and nervous tissue atrophies

A

changes that occur to tissues as we age
