Lecture 2 Flashcards
Tissues are a group of similar _____ that have what 2 things in common?
Cells;
1. embryonic origin
2. function
What are the 4 basic kinds of tissues?
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nerve Tissue
The body tissue that covers the surfaces of the body, inside and out
Epithelial Tissue
The body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts
Connective Tissue
The body tissue that contracts, making body parts move, and generates heat
Muscle Tissue
The body tissue that carries messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body
Nerve Tissue
Which body tissue is able to detect changes both inside and outisde the body?
Nerve Tissue
Which body tissue stores energy as fat?
Connective Tissue
Which body tissue provides immunity?
Connective Tissue
Describe the Cellularity of the Epithelial Tissue.
Many tighly packed cells and little amount of ECM.
Cells at the base of an epithelial layer are attached to this
Basement Membrane
What are the 2 layers that the basement membrane is composed of?
- Basal Lamina
- Reticular Lamina
The Basal Lamina is secreted by what kind of cells?
Epithelial Cells
The Basal Lamina consists mainly of what?
Glycoproteins
The Reticular Lamina is composed of what network?
A network of fine Collagen Fibres
The Reticular Lamina is secreted by what kind of cells?
Connective Tissue Cells
In kidneys, the Basement Membrane participates in what function?
Blood Filtration
What are the 3 main functions of The Basement Membrane?
- Attachment and Support Epi cells
- Forms surface for Epi Cells to use for migration
- Restricts passage of large mol b/w Conn Tissue and Epi
What are the 3 kinds of surfaces of an Epithelial Tissue?
- Apical Surface (free surface, face up)
- Basal Surface (lower, attach to Basement Memb)
- Lateral Surface (in between each cell, connected to eachother)
How do epithelial cells obtain nutrients?
Via diffusion, as they lack blood vessels
What are the 2 ways in which the Epithelium are classified?
- Arrangement
- Shape
What are the 3 types of Epithelial Arrangements?
- Simple
- Stratified
- Pseudostratified
What are the 4 types of Surface Epithelial Cell shapes?
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Column
- Transitional
What are the 2 kinds of Epitelium?
- Covering/Lining
- Glandular
