Module 7 Flashcards
Epithelial tissue
Forms coverings protecting the body from the outside world. Found wherever tissues meet the outside world. REMEMBER LUMEN OF THE GUT TUBE IS “OUTSIDE” Ex: Urinary, Respiratory, & reproductive. ( object 1)
Connective Tissue
holds structure of body. Ex: bone cartilage, tendons, blood (objective 1)
Muscular tissue
moves body parts. (objective 1)
Nervous tissue
Sensation, information processing, and control of body parts. EX: brain and spinal cord, ganglia and nerves. (objective 1)
(Epithelia cells have two surfaces)
Apical surface:
Basal surface:
Apical surface: that faces the outside world
Basal surface: (base like basement) that rests on, and is attached to, the basement membrane. (objective 2)
Basement Membrane:
has two thin layers each called a Lamina. the basal lamina and the reticular lamina (objective 2).
What are the two layers of the Lamina (basement membrane)?
basal lamina and the reticular lamina (objective 2)
Basal Lamina:
Reticular Lamina:
Basal Lamina: nearest the epithelial cells
Reticular Lamina: is a bit deeper. (objective 2)
Beneath the basement membrane is what?
A layer of Connective tissue. (objective 2)
What is also found in the Connective tissue?
blood vessels and nerves (objective 2)
Why is there limited intracellular space?
Different junctions in between to facilitate whatever tissue. (objective 2)
Intracellular Vs. Intercellular
intracellular: inside
Intercellular: space between cells (objective 2)
Arrangment of Epithelia tissue:
Simple:
Pseudostratified:
Stratified:
Simple: One layer. All cells come in contact with basement membrane
Pseudostratified:All cells in contact with basement membrane but appears to have layers
Stratified: Two or more layers. Only basal layer in contact with basement membrane. (objective 3)
Shapes Of Epithelia tissue:
Squamous:
Cuboidal:
Columnar:
Squamous: Flat, wide, “fried egg like,” “paving stone” cells
Cuboidal: Cells as tall as they are wide.
Columnar: Cells taller than they are wide (objective 3)
How many combinations of cell arrangements are there?
if different shapes present, always named by?
- named by: shapes of cells in apical layer. (out most layer)
(read paragraph on pg 319 objective 3)
Transitional Epithelia:
Contain cells that change shape, depending on whether the organ is enlarged or shrunken (objective 3)
Simple Squamous Epithelia:
single layer of flat cells.
LOCATIONS:
lining of heart, lining of blood and lymph vessels, air sacs of lungs, kidney filtration, eardrum, one layer of serous membranes
Diffusion/filtration/reduce friction. (objective 4)
Simple Cuboidal epithelium:
single layer of cube-shaped cells
LOCATIONS: surface of ovaries, eyes (anterior surface of lens, pigemented epithelium), kidney tubules, many glands.
KNOW: absorption/ secretion is associated with these cells. EX: lots of secretion from pancreas so needs more active cells (objective 5)
Simple Columnar Epithelia:
single layer of column like cells.
with or without cilia- promotes movement
with or without microvilli- increases surface area
with or without mucus (goblet cells)
DIGESTIVE AND RESPIRATORY 2 kinds.
Ciliated simple columnar:
this type of simple columnar epithelia moves mucus and substances trapped in mucos by the wave like motion cilia.
LOCATIONS: respiratory tract, uterine tubes/uterus, efferent ducts testes, some paranasal sinuses, canal of spinal cord & ventricles of brain (objective 6)
nonciliated simple columnar:
does not have cilia. is used for secretion or absorption.
LOCATIONS: GI tract, glandular ducts, gallbladder
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelia
Appears to have layers but it doesnt. all cells attached to basement membrane. LOCATIONS: Ciliated- upper respiratory airways, not ciliated- glands, epididymis and urethra.
Mucociliary Escalator:
mucus cells secrete mucus to trap dust and invaders, so they can be moved up to the throat by the mucociliary escalator.
Stratified Squamous Epithelia:
Apical surface is made of squamous (flat) cells. LOCATION: skin and mucous membranes. Is the most common type of epithelium in the human body. This Epithelia protects from abrasion EX: VAGINA (objective 8)
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium:
two or more layers made up of cube-shaped cells. LOCATION: sweat gland ducts, esophageal gland ducts, part of the male urethra. It has a secretory functions . SQUARE cuboidal cells involved in secretion) (objective 9)
Stratified Columnar Epithelia
Apical surface is made of tall cells two or more layers. LOCATIONS: part of urethra, execretory ducts of some glands, part of anal mucous membranes, part of conjunctiva in eye. (objective 10)
Conjunctiva:
Lines inside of eyes, covers sclera- white of eye. goblet cells: mucous/tear/immune system. VASCULAR. (objective 10)
Transitional Epithelia:
Shape of cells changes depending on state of stretch. LOCATION: bladder and nearby urethra and ureters. Full bladder:squamous cells. Empty bladder: cuboidal cells (objective 11)
Endocrine glands:
Endocrine glands: secrete substances into extracellular fluid then blood. Hormones ex: Human growth hormone. (objective 12) EX: hormones
Exocrine glands:
glands secrete substances outside of body. bothe generally lined with (simple or stratified) cuboidal epithelium. (objective 12)
EX: digestive enzymes, & sweat
Secretion:
the production of substances that are released outside the body. GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM is responsible for this. (objective12)
Glands are named based on the branching pattern of the duct and the shape of the secretory portion.
Ducts:
Secretory portion:
conducts the secretory product to where it is supposed to end up.
Secretory portion: where the cells that make the glandular secretion are located. (objective 13)
unbranched duct:
Branched duct:
unbranched duct: simple
branched duct: compound
(objective 13)
Tube like secretory portion:
grape like secretory portion:
both:
tube like: tubular
grape like: acinar
both: tubloacinar
(objective 13)
acinar or alveolar are shaped like?
Grape like (objective 13)
Classification of exocrine glands is based on what?
how the cell secretes its product to the outside environment * MEROCRINE *APOCRINE *HOLOCRINE (objective 14)
Merocrine Secretion:
1.DNA instructions transcribed to mRNA in nucleus 2. synthesized in rough ER 3. packaged into Golgi complex 4. formed into secretory vesicle 5. released. EX: saliva and pancreatic enzymes are secreted this way. (objective 14)
Apocrine Secretion:
1.DNA instructions transcribed to mRNA in nucleus 2. synthesized in rough ER 3. packaged into Golgi complex 4. formed into vesicle 5. end of cell breaks off and dissolves. (pinches off) EX: male prostate and female mammary. (breast milk) (objective 14)
Holocrine Secretion:
1.DNA instructions transcribed to mRNA in nucleus 2. synthesized in rough ER 3. packaged into Golgi complex 4a. cell dies releasing product 4b. lost cell replaced by division of stem cells. EX: sebaceous glands of skin which are over-active in teenagers use this mode of secretion. EX: glands of the hair follicles, glands of eyelids (objective 14)
Ground substance (extracellular matrix):
cells of the CONNECTIVE TISSUE secrete a ground substance which can vary from liquid as in blood, all the way to rock0hard, as in bone. It is composed of several proteins: FIBRONECTIN, LAMININ and proteoglycans.
What are the names of proteins that ground substances are composed of?
fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycans. (proteoglycans are not a specific protein buth rather a class of proteins which contain propotionately more sugar than protein.)
fibronectin:
laminin:
Proteoglycan:
Fibronectin- adhesion
Laminin: cell differentiation
proteoglycans: class of proteins that contain lots of sugar.( EX mucus is mostly proteoglycan) (objective 15)
(connective tissue has fibers called)
Collagen Fibers:
Elastic fibers:
Reticular fibers:
collagen fibers: made up of collagen. (collagen has different types that vary between tissues. this structure gives it strength along the fiber.)
Elastic fibers: made of elastin: abundant in tissues that need to stretch and then snap back into their previous shape. EX: blood vessels.
Reticular Fibers: made of type III collagen. (have silver staining properties… structures that stain silver are called argyrophilic) (objective 15)
Fibroblasts
fibroblasts: making fibers. most numerous cell of connective tissue. secrete fibrous components and ground substance.
Adipocytes:
Fat cells. Store triglycerides (objective 15)
Mast Cells:
Near blood vessels. Important in inflammation; produce HISTAMINE.
