Quiz 1 Flashcards
function of epithelial tissues
sheets of cells, cover, line, and form glandular tissue
nonexcitable
avascular
adherant to basement membrane
regenerative
simple epitheleal cells
1 layer
stratefied epithealeal cells
multiple layers
squamous
flat, allow for rapid diffusion
cuboidal
cube shaped
simple squamous examples
endothelium: lining of blood vessels
mesothelium: lining of thoracic and abdominal cavities
simple cuboidal
primarily secratory
pseudostratefied
often secretory, often modified
simple columnar
primarily secratory, gut, intestine, goblet cells
transitional
urinary bladder, ureter, and urethral linings
stratified squamous
mult layers, primarily for protection, upper and lower GI tract, skin
4 classes of conective tissue
- fibroblasts–> connective tissue proper
- chondroblasts –>cartilage
- osteoblasts –> bone
- hemocytoblasts –> blood
connective tissue is..
the most abundant in the body highly vascularized lots of extracellular stuff
connective tissue matrix
fluid fibers proteoglycans
collagen
triple chain structure glycine, proline, hydroxyproline
clinical collagen problems
scurvy: vitamin C deficiency, needed to make hydroproline to form proline
osteogensis imperfecta: severe bony deformities
GAGs
give bone shock absorbing properties
loose connective tissues
mesenchyme: embryonic connective tissue areolar: under epithelia, packages organs, mast cells migrate thru it adipose: fat, small spaces between cells reticular:liver, lymph noders, bone marrow, spleen. compartmentalizes cells within organs
dense connective tissue
regular: tendons, ligs, apaneuroses. -neatly aligned collagen fibers, strong irregular: dermis, organ capsules, fascia. -oriented in different directions, forces can be resisted in mult directions elastic: BV walls, trachea, bronchi, vocal cords, ligamentum flavum
hyaline cartilage
ends of long bones, costal cart of nose, trach, larynx shock absorption
fibrocartilage
IV discs, pubic symphysis, menisci
elastic cartilage
ext ear, epiglottis
bone
oesteocytes in lacuna, not much fluid in matrix
