LESSON 2 Flashcards
Animal tissues are divided into main four types:
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle tissue
- Nervous Tissue
This type of tissue is commonly seen outside as coverings or as linings of organs and cavities. It is characterized by closely-joined cells with tight junctions. Being tightly packed, tight junctions serve as barriers for pathogens, mechanical injuries and fluid loss.
Epithelial Tissue
Cells that make up epithelial tissues have distinct arrangements:
- Cuboidal
- Simple Columnar
- Simple Squamous
- Stratified Squamous
- Pseudo- Stratified Columnar
for secretion
Cuboidal
brick-shaped cells; for secretion and active absorption
Simple columnar-
- plate-like cells; for exchange of material through diffusion
Simple squamous
multilayered and regenerates quickly for protection
Stratified squamous-
single layer of cells; may just look stacked because of varying height; for lining of respiratory tract; usually lined with cilia (i.e., a type of cell modification that sweeps the mucus)
Pseudo-stratified columnar
These tissues are composed of the following: Blood, Connective Tissue Proper(CTP), Cartilage, and Bone
Connective Tissue
made up of plasma (i.e., liquid extracellular matrix): contains water, salts and dissolve proteins, erythrocytes that carry oxygen (RBC), leukocytes for defense (WBC), and platelets for blood clotting
BLOOD-
made up of loose connective tissue that is found in the skin and fibrous connective tissue that is made up of collagenous fibers found in tendons and ligaments. Adipose tissues are also examples of loose connective tissues that store fats which functions to insulate the body and store energy.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER (CTP)-
characterized by collagenous fibers embedded in chondroitin sulfate. Chondrocytes are the cells that secrete collagen and chondroitin sulfate. ________ functions are cushion between bones.
CARTILAGE-
mineralized connective tissue made by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts which deposits collagen. Blood vessels and nerves are found at a central canal surrounded by concentric circles of osteon.
BONE
bone-forming cells called _________ which deposits collagen
osteoblasts
These tissues are composed of long cells called muscle fibers that allow the body to move voluntary or involuntary. It gives rise to muscles’ ability to contract. This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium. It is formed during embryonic development through a process known as myogenesis.
Muscle Tissue
consists of elongated cells also called as muscle fibers. This tissue is responsible for movements in our body. Movement of muscles is a response to signals coming from nerve cells.
Muscle Tissue
Muscle tissue in vertebrates can be categorized in to the following:
- Skeletal- striated
- Cardiac
- Smooth
These tissues are composed of nerve cells called neuron and glial cells that function as support cells. These neurons sense stimuli and transmit electrical signals throughout the animal body. Neurons connect to other neuron that receives impulses from other neurons, while the axon is the part where the impulse is transmitted to other neurons.
Nervous Tissue
Plant tissues are divided into two main types:
- Meristematic tissue
- Permanent Tissue
is actively dividing to produce new cells.
___________ consists of undifferentiated small cell, with dense cytoplasm and large nuclei. The cells differentiate into new tissue of the plant. __________ is found at the meristems of plants:
Meristematic tissue
