25
Main functions of areolar tissue
Acts as universal packing tissue and "glue" to hold organs in place 1. Supports internal organs by supporting and packing tissue 2. Binds various structures with one another -> no dislocation 3. Provides protective framework -> keeps major structures in place
26
Adipose tissue functions
1. Insulates body 2. Protects some organs 3. Site if fuel storage (fat storage)
27
Adipose tissue location
1. Subcut tissue beneath skin 2. Around internal organs (protects organs like kidneys) 3. Fat "depots" include hips, buttocks, breasts, belly
28
Tendons/ligaments tissue
Made of collagen, play key role in body mvmt and stability
29
Tendons
Connects muscles to bone or other structures (eyeballs) to allow mvmt, they transmit force generated by muscle contractions
30
Ligaments
Connect bone to bone, usually to hold structures together, keep them stable. Limit excessive mvmt in joints
31
Bone tissue /osseous tissue is
Skeleton
32
Bone tissue main function
Protect and support
33
Bone tissue composed of
Osteocytes (bone cells) sitting in lacunae (cavities) Hard calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers
34
Hyaline cartilage characteristic
Less hard and more flexible than bone Most widespread type of cartilage os hyaline cartilage
35
Hyaline cartilage locations
Nose, trachea, attaches ribs to breastbone, covers ends of long bones Entire fetal skeleton prior to birth
36
Blood tissue
Contains specialized cells (RBC, WBC) Cells are in fluid prot matrix called plasma
37
Blood tissue functions
Transport vehicle for cardiovascular system, carries nutrients, wastes, respiratory gases, hormones
38
Characteristics of muscle tissues
-Specialized for contraction - contracts or shortens to produce mvmt - able to respond to stimuli
39
Three types of muscle tissues
1. Skeletal 2. Cardiac 3. Smooth
40
Which muscle tissue is voluntarily controlled
Skeletal
41
Skeletal tissue found in/ produces
Skeletal muscles attached to bone/body mvmt or facial expressions
42
Skeletal muscle cells
Striations (stripes) Multinucleate (more than one nucleus)
43
Cardiac muscle tissue
Involuntarily controlled, found only in heart, pumps blood through cardiac muscle cells
44
Cardiac muscle cells
Striations, one nucleus per cell, short branching cells , intercalated discs connects cells together
45
Smooth (visceral) muscle tissue
Involuntarily controlled Peristalsis (wave like motion) is typical activity
46
Smooth muscle tissue location
Walls of hollow organs such as stomach, uterus, blood vessels
47
Smooth muscle tissue cells
No visible striations, one nucleus per cell, spindle-shaped cell
48
Characteristics of nervous tissues
- specialized for propagation of electrical impulses from one region to another - 98% nervous tissue is in brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) - two basic cell types
49
Two basic nervous tissue cell types
1. Neurons 2. Neuroglia
50
Neurons functionality
1. Receive stimuli, 2. convert them into nerve impulses, 3. transmit impulses rapidly to various parts if body
51
Neuroglia functionality
Do not conduct impulses, help protect nervous tissues and form insulating layer around nerve fibres to help conduct electrical signals faster
52
The word membrane has
More than one meaning in biology
53
Types of membranes in biology
Plasma/cell membranes Tissues membrane
54
Tissue membranes are
Layers of connective/epithelial tissues that cover outside of body, organs, internal passageways (lead to exterior), lining of moveable joint cavities
55
4 types of body membranes
1. Cutaneous 2. Mucous 3. Serous 4. Synovial
56
Cutaneous membranes refer to
Skin
57
What is cutaneous membrane made of
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis) firmly attached to thick layer of connective tissue (dermis)
58
Cutaneous membrane characteristic
Dry membrane exposed to air
59
Five major functions of integumentary system
1. Protection 2. Temperature maintenance 3. Synthesis and storage of nutrients 4. Sensory receptors 5. Excretion and secretion
60
Integ sys protection:
Protects underlying tissues and organs from impacts/chemicals/infection, prevents loss of body fluids
61
Integ syst temperature maintenance
Skin maintains normal body temperature by regulating heat exchange with enviro
62
Integ syst synthesis and nutrients storage
Epidermis synthesizes vit D3 and stores lipids in adipose tissues
63
Integ syst sensory reception
Receptors detect touch, pressure, pain, temperature stimuli and relay that info to nervous syst
64
Integ syst excretion and secretion
Glands excrete salt water and organic wastes. Specialized glands of breasts secrete milk
65
Dermis composition
Mostly dense (fibrous) connective tissue and accessory structures (hair, nails, sweat glands)
66
Serous membranes (serosae) location
Line compartments in ventral body cavity that are closed to exterior and have two layers: visceral and parietal
67
Visceral layer (serous membrane)
Covers organs
68
Parietal layer (serous membrane)
Lines body cavity walls, creates fluid that lubricate/cushion cavities to protect organs/prevent friction during mvmt
69
Specific serous membranes
1. Peritoneum 2. Pleurae 3. Pericardia
70
Peritoneum membrane
Covers organs in abdominal cavity
71
Pleurae membrane
Surrounds lungs
72
Pericardia membrane
Surrounds heart
73
Mucous membrane functions
1. Absorption/secretion 2. Secretion -> mucus -> thick protective fluid 3. Prevents pathogens/contaminants from entering 4. Prevents bodily tissue from dehydration
74
Synovial membranes
Layer of connective tissue that lines cavities of joints and tendons. Makes synovial fluid -> has lubricating function
75
Mucous membrane
-moist membrane -some secrete protective lubricating mucous -line all body cavities that open to exterior body surface
76
Sinple squamous function
When thin barrier required, for diffusion to occur better
77
Simple squamous location
Air sacs of lungs (gas exchange between air and blood), capillaries (nutrients and waste exchange between tissues and blood)
78
Stratified squamous function
Protect from abrasion, continuously shed/replaced from cells dividing and moving from underlying layer
79
Stratified squamous location
Outer layer of skin, moist lining of mouth, esophagus, vagina
80
Simple columnar function
Areas that secrete mucus and absorb substances (mucus is protective lubricating layer)
81
Simple columnar location
Lines gastrointestinal tract (stomach to anus), ciliated one lines uterine tubes (helps propel egg towards uterus)
82
Pseudostratified columnar function
Protection, secretion and mvmt of mucus if ciliated
83
Pseudostratified columnar location
Ciliated: lines most upper respiratory tract ex nasal cavity/trachea
84
Simple cuboidal function
Absorbe, filtration, secretion
85
Simple cuboidal location
glands/kidney tubules
