Module 4 - Tissues Flashcards
Tissue
Tissue – Group of cells with similar embryological origin – same specialized function
3 developmental layers
Outer – ectoderms
Middle – mesoderm
Deep – endoderm
Ectoderms - developmental
Outer – ectoderms
Skin cells
Neurons
Pigment cells
Mesoderm - developmental
Middle – mesoderm
Cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle
Red blood cells
Connective tissue
Bone
Endoderm - developmental
Deep – endoderm
Lining air ways
Digestive system – not mouth or rectum
glands
Tissue Classifications
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial Tissue – protection for underlying tissue
Covers surfaces
Lines hollow organs
Cavities and ducts
Avascular
Arranged in sheets – single or multi layer
Packer cells
Epithelial Tissue Functions
Protect
Filter
Lubricate
Secretion and excretion
Digestion
Absorption
Transport
Sensory reception
Reproduction
Cell junctions
Cell junctions – secure attachments b/w
Tight – strands of proteins hold them tightly together – knitted
Anchoring – held by actin or intermediate filament
Gap – signal-conducting
Basement membrane
Basement membrane – extracellular layer holds epithelial tissue on top of connective tissue
Made of collagen and glycoproteins – basal lamina
Reticular lamina – underlayer – reticular fibers
Epithelial cell layout
Shapes: squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-like), columnar (rectangular), and transitional (variable)
Layers: simple (one layer), stratified (several) – more durable, pseudostratified (one appearing as #)
Epithelial Cell types
Cell types
Simple squamous
Simple Cuboidal
Simple Columnar
Pseudostratified columnar
Stratified Squamous
Stratified Cuboidal
Stratified Columnar
Transitional
Simple squamous
allows diffusion, filtration, and secretes – air sacs lung, lining heart, blood and lymph vessels
Simple Columnar
Simple Columnar – moves fluids – absorbs and secrets mucous and enzymes – ciliated tissues – bronchi, uterine tubes, and uterus – nonciliated tissues in GI tract and bladder
Pseudostratified columnar
Pseudostratified columnar – secrets and moves mucous – upper trachea – cilia moves and traps particles
Simple Cuboidal
Simple Cuboidal – secrets and absorbs – wear and tear – ducts of small glands and kidney tubules
Stratified Squamous
Stratified Squamous – protects abrasion – esophagus, mouth, and vagina
Stratified Cuboidal
Stratified Cuboidal – protective – sweat glands, salivary glands, and mammary
Stratified Columnar
Stratified Columnar – secrets and protects – male urethra and some ducts
Transitional
Transitional – expand and stretch – bladder, urethra, and ureters
Glands
Glands – adapted for secretion
Endocrine
Exocrine
