27
allows for communication between cells. | Made of 2 major cell types
Nervous tissue
28
2 types of major cell types
Neurons. | Neuroglia
29
where is muscle tissue (Smooth) located?
walls of organs and blood vessels
30
what does muscle tissue (smooth) look like?
1 nucleus, no striations
31
what does Muscle tissue (cardiac) look like?
single nucleus, striations with darker striations between cells called intercalated disks (Gap Junctions)
32
where is muscle tissue (Cardiac) located?
Heart
33
made of dendrites, a cell body and an axon. Dendrites. Axons
Nervous tissue (Neurons)
34
carry information toward cell body
Dendrites
35
Carry information away from cell body
Axons
36
cells that support Neurons and maintain homeostasis
Nervous tissue (Neuoglia)
37
Forms a tight, continuous network which lines body cavities, body surfaces, and glands. Cells are anchored by a basement membrane on one side
Epithelial Tissue
38
How do we name epithelial tissue?
The number of cell layers. | Shape of cells
39
Epithelial tissue with one layer of cells
Simple
40
Epithelial tissue with more than one layer of cells
Stratified
41
Epithelial tissue that appears to have layers but only has one layer.
Pseudostratified
42
Epithelial with cube-shaped cells
Cuboidal
43
Epithelial tissue with column-shaped cells
Columnar
44
Epithelial tissue with FLattened shaped cells
Squamous
45
Can easily be associated with epithelial tissue (the release mucus) Ex. Found in the gastrointestinal tract (GI)
Goblet cells
46
is often very convoluted
Epithelial tissue
47
how are cells connected within a tissue?
Tight junctions. Adhesion junctions Gap Junctions
48
proteins join adjacent plasma membranes- impermeable
Tight Junctions
49
Cytoskeletal fibers hold cells together- composed of proteins
Adhesion Junctions
50
A type of intercalated disc-fusion of adjacent plasma membranes with small channels between them to allow small molecules to diffuse- as seen in cardiac muscle
Gap Junctions
51
2 or more tissue types working together
Organ
52
is a combination of organs that work together
Organ system
53
What are the organ systems of the human body?
``` Integumentary system. Cardiovasculare system. Lymphatic and Immune Systems. Digestive system. Respiratory system. Urinary system. ```
54
Protects the body. Receives sensory input. It helps control temperature. Synthesizes Vitamin D.
Integumentary system
55
Transports blood nutrients, gases, and wastes. Defends against disease. Helps control temperature, fluid, and pH balance.
Cardiovasculare System
56
It helps control fluid balance. Absorbs fats. Defends against infectious disease
Lymphatic and Immune Systems
57
Ingests food. Digests food. absorbs nutrients. Eliminates waste.
Digestive system.
58
Maintains breathing. exchanges gases at lungs and tissues. Helps control pH balance
Respiratory System
59
Excretes metabolic wastes. It helps control fluid balance. Helps control pH balance.
Urinary System
60
What are the organ systems of the human body?
``` Skeletal. Muscular. Nervous. Endocrine. Reproductive. ```
61
``` Supports the body. Protects body parts. Helps move the body. Stores minerals. Produces blood cells. ```
Skeletal system
62
maintains posture. Moves body parts. and internal organs. Produces heat.
Muscular system
63
receives sensory input. integrates and stores input. initiates motor output. helps coordinate organ systems.
Nervous System
64
``` Produces hormones. It helps coordinate organ systems. Responds to stress. helps regulate fluid and pH balance. Helps regulates metabolism. ```
Endocrine System.
65
Produces gametes. Transports gametes. produces sex hormones. nurtures and gives birth to offspring in females.
Reproductive system
66
What is homeostasis?
the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal environment in the body. The nervous and endocrine systems are key to maintaining homeostasis. Failure to maintains homeostasis results in illness or even death.
