Lecture Exam 1 Review Flashcards
What are the functions of epithelial tissue
to protect, cover and line filters biochemical substances absorbs nutrients provides sensory input manufactures secretions manufactures excretions
What are gap junctions
they are formed by connexons that extend from one cell’s cytoplasm to another.
What is skeletal muscle tissue
long bundled cells
multiple nuclei
striated
voluntary
responsible for voluntary movement of the body. Attached to the bone
Define species
there are approximately 6 species in genus felis. This is the most specific unit of classification.
Describe regeneration stage in the process of tissue healing and repair
begins during organization.
new layer of skin forms over granulation tissue
fibrous scar tissue replaces lost tissue, closes wound, does not function like previous tissue.
What are prokaryotes
Cells that did not possess a nucelus.
What are the different types of cartilage connective tissue
Hyaline cartilage - structural rigidity and flexibility, cushions joints. Most abundant type in the body.(articulation surfaces, costal cartilages, nose, trachea, larynx)
Elastic cartilage - support increased flexibility (external ear, auditory tubes, epiglottis)
Fibrocartilage - withstands compressive force. (pubic symphysis, intervertebral disks, disks in knee joints)
What are the different types of epithelial tissue
simple squamous simple cuboidal simple columnar psuedostratified columnar stratified squamous stratified cuboidal stratified columnar transitional
Where do you find psuedostratified columnar tissue
respiratory tract
male reproductive tract
Describe organization stage in the process of tissue healing and repair
begins soon after injury and occurrence
granulation tissue forms underneath clot
Describe wound management stage in the process of tissue healing and repair
first intention - no granulation tissue or scarring. easily closed with sutures or staples
second intention - closed by granulation tissue and scar tissue
third intention - closed like second intention but larger.
What are the 3 parts of a cell
cell membrane aka plasma membrane
cytoplasm
nucleus
What are the types of loose connective tissue
areolar
adipose
reticular
Define Genus
there are 18 genera in family felidae. all the organisms within their genus may look very similar to each other.
(felis - small cats leopardus - spotted cats)
What are the different types of cellular attachments in epithelial tissues
tight junctions
desmosome
gap junctions
What are the two body cavities
Dorsal body cavity- contains brain and spinal cord
Ventral body cavity- contains thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity seperated by the diaphram.
What is the function of nervous tissue
to conduct electrical signals, store information
evaluate data
transmit sensory information
What are the 3 main components of connective tissue
Ground substance
extracellular fibers
cells
What are elastic fibers
composed of elastin in a branched network.
lacks tensile strength
microfibril bundles act like rubber bands
found in tissue subject to stretching - vocal cords, lungs, skin.
What are the 3 types of ways endocrine glands secrete
merocrine
apocrine
holocrine
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do
network of tubules and flattened sacs that are in contact with the nuclear envelope. Functions as the circulatory system of the cell. Protein and other substance can move within little canals within the ER to the Golgi Apparatus.
What are the two types of desmosome cellular attachments
Tonofilaments aka intermediate filaments extend to the cytoplasm
hemidesmosomes link to the basement membrane
What are the different types of dense connective tissue
regular
irregular
elastic
What are the differences between dense connective tissue
regular - resists pulling in the direction of fibers (tendons and ligaments)
irregular - resists pulling forces from all directions (dermis of skin, organ capsules, sub mucosa of digestive tract)
elastic - flexibility between body parts (intervertebral spaces, nuchal ligament in horses, walls of arteries stomach, bronchi)
What are exocrine glands
they have ducts that discharge secretions locally - musk, sweat and salivary glands
What is diffusion
the process of moving down the concentration gradient. Molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is speeded up by with heat.
Define cytosis and what are the two types
Cytosis is another mechanism for bringing nutrients into the cell and ejecting waste. Like active transport, cytosis requires ATP an is therefore considered an active process.
Endocytosis - means going into cell
Exocytosis - means going out of cell
How do endocrine glands that are merocine secrete
via exocytosis and remain intact - sweat and salivary glands
What is the difference between DNA and RNA
DNA contains the genetic code that determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins.
RNA transcribes genetic code and transports it to the cytosol from the nucleus where it builds protein via translation.
What are the types of connective tissue proper
loose and dense
What are tight junctions
fusion of adjacent cell’s plasma membranes, where leakage must be prevented.
Define order
eutheria is broken into orders based on mode of locomotion and method of obtaining food. (carnivora - meat eating)
What are collagenous fibers
strong, thick strands composed of collagen.
most common
organized in bundles
wavy when relaxed
found in tendons and ligaments, and loose connective tissue around organs
What is filtration
the forceful movement of fluid through a membrane. Hydrostatic pressure in animals is blood presure and is generated by the pumping heart.
What is osmosis
the passive movement of water through a semipermeable membrane into a more concentrated solution. The movement of water stops when the concentration of solute is equal on both sides of the membrane (state of equilibrium)
What are reticular fibers
thin and delicate, composed of collagen.
branched into complex networks
supports organs, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels
What does exocytosis do
cells may export substances from the intracellular environment into extracellular space by exocytosis.
Exocytosis of wast products is called excretion, and the exocytosis of manufactured molecules is known as secretion.
What is cytoskeleton
flexible three-dimensional frame that provides structure inside the cell.
three types of fibers compose the cytoskeleton:
microtubules, intermediate fibers, microfilaments
What are the two main types of connective tissue
Proper and specialized
Where do you find simple columnar tissue
line the GI tract
line excretory ducts
respiratory tract
