midterms Flashcards
are highly organized units But in multicultural organisms, they do not function in isolation
cells
cellls work
together in-group of similar cells called
tissue
is a group of similar cell and their intercellular substance
that have a similar embryological origin and function together to perform a specialized activity.
tissue
A science that
deals with the study of a tissue is
histology
covers body surface, lines body cavity & ducts and form glands.
epithelial tissue
it forms the outer covering of external body surface and outer covering of some
internal organs. It lines body cavity, interior of respiratory & gastro intestinal tracts, blood vessels & ducts and
make up along with the nervous tissue
Covering and lining epithelium:
It is a
tissue from which gametes (egg & sperm) develops.
Covering and lining epithelium:
it is specialized for absorption, and
filtration with minimal wear & tear. It is a single layered
Simple epithelium
cube shaped
Cuboidal:
Those glands that empties their secretion in to ducts/tubes that empty at the surface of covering.
Exocrine
They ultimately secret their products into the blood system.
Endocrine
is found primarily in the fetus and located in the umbilical cord of the fetus where it supports the cord.
Mucous (Wharton’s Jelly) connective tissue
It is differentiated from mesenchyme and does not change after birth. composes
connective tissue proper, cartilage, osseous (bone) & vascular (blood) tissue
Adult connective tissue
has a more or less fluid intercellular martial and fibroblast.
connective tissue proper
Posses freely branching elastic fibers. They stretch and snap back in to original
shape. They are components of wall of arteries, trachea, bronchial tubes & lungs. It also forms vocal cord.
Elastic connective tissue allows stretching, and provides support & suspension.
Elastic connective tissue:
have no blood vessels and nerves. It consists of a dense network of
collagenous fibers and elastic fibers firmly embedded in chondriotin sulfate.
cartilages
called gristle, most abundant, blue white in color & able to bear weight.
Hyaline cartilage
they are found at the symphysis pubis, in the inter-vertebral discs and knee. It provides support
and protection.
Fibro cartilage
the chondrocyte are located in thread like network of elastic fibers. provides strength and elasticity and maintains the shape of certain organs like epiglottis, larynx, external
part of the ear and Eustachian tube.
Elastic cartilage
are nerve
cells, sensitive to various stimuli.
neurons
are thin pliable layers of epithelial and/or connective tissue.
membranes
contains loose connective tissue covered by a layer of mesothelium.
Serous membrane (serosa)
Serosa is composed of 2 layers
visceral layer
parietal layer
are serous
membrane that line thoracic and heart cavity respectively.
Pleura and pericardium
Unlike to other membranes this membrane does not contain epithelium
Synovial membrane
consist the skin and its derivatives. These include hair, nails, and several types of
glands.
The Integumentary system
s the largest organ in the body occupying almost 2m2 of surface area thickens of 2mm.
skin
is the outer layer of the skin that is made of stratified squamous epithelium
epidermis
a strong, flexible, connective tissue mesh work of collagen, reticular and elastic fibers. Most
part of the skin is composed of this
dermis/ true skin
is next to stratum basale of the epidermis. It
contains loose connective tissue with in the bundles of collagenous fibers.
papillary layer
