  • single cell glands
  • scattered throughout the tissue
28
Q

A

• lined by pseudostratified epithelium (type of simple epithelium)

  • “pseudostratified” because it appears to be composed of multiple cell layers
  • however, each cell is actually in contact with the basement membrane.
  • the cells are of varying heights and so the location of the cell nuclei impart a stratified appearance
29

  • outer layer of skin

- compose of stratified squamous epithelium

30
Q

Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue

A
  • composed of cells and fibers embedded in an extra cellular matrix
31
Q

The most common cell type of

Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue

A

Fibroblast

32
Q

Fibroblast

A

Secretes the connective tissue fibers:

  • collagen (great tensile strength)
  • elastic (elastic)
  • reticular (a type of collagen)
  • oriented in different planes
  • this tissue is characterized by cells and fibers loosely arranged in the matrix
33
Q

Dense Connective Tissue

A
  • contains thick bundles of collagen fibers oriented in different planes (dense irregular connective tissue) or in parallel bundles (dense regular connective tissue)
  • the densely packed collagen bundles impart great tensile strength to the tissue
34
Q

Tendons

A

• Composed of dense regular collagenous connective tissue

- fibroblasts are located between the densely packed collagen fiber bundles

35
Q

Adipose Tissue (fat)

A
  • Composed of aggregates of adipocytes • functions in the storage of:
    • triglycerides
    • insulates / protects organs
    • contributes to the contour of body
36
Q

White Fat (unilocular adipose tissue)

A
  • adipocytes store fat in a single large droplet and the nucleus is pushed out toward the periphery of the cell
37
Q

Blood

A
  • fluid connective tissue
38
Q

Functions of blood

A

transport of

  • gases
  • nutrients
  • hormones
  • metabolic waste
  • protection from disease causing agents
39
Q

Plasma

A

Fluid matrix in which erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets are suspended

40
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Transport oxygen gas in the blood

41
Q

Leukocytes

A

Provide protection from pathogenic microorganisms

42
Q

Platelets

A

Fragments of large bone marrow stem cells, function in hemostasis (blood clotting)

43
Q

Hyaline Cartilage

A
  • may be found capping the articulation surfaces of long bones
    • functions as a great shock absorber
44
Q

Tracheal cartilages / some Larynx cartilages

A

Also composed of hyaline cartilage

45
Q

Matrix

A
  • Secreted by chondrocytes which are located in spaces called LACUNAE
46
Q

Bone

A
  • calcified connective tissue

- hardness and rigidity of the tissue is imparted by the deposited minerals, primarily calcium and phosphorus salts

47
Q

Compact bone

A

Organized into units called osteons

48
Q

Osteon

A
  • In an osteon, bone matrix is deposited in concentric lamellae (rings) of osteoblasts (bone forming cells)
  • eventually osteoblasts become trapped in the matrix that they are secreting
  • at this point the cells are referred to as osteocytes
49
Q

Osteocytes

A
  • located in spaces between the lamellar called the lacunae
  • collagen fibers are adjacent lamellae are oriented in different planes which greatly increases the strength of the tissue
  • in the center of the lamellae is an osteon if canal through which blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels pass
50
Q

Canaliculi

A

When nutrients, gases, and waste products move from the osteonic canal to the osteocytes via microscopic channels (called canaliculi)

51
Q

Skeletal muscle

A
  • contraction of skeletal muscle allows for the movement of the bones of the skelton
  • skeletal muscle is classified as Voluntary because it’s contraction is consciously controlled
  • the skeletal muscle fibers (cells) are long and unbranched
  • different muscle fibers also contain multiple nuclei
  • the nuclei are pushed out toward the periphery of the cell due to the large number of myofibrils it contains
  • skeletal muscle fibers are striated, meaning alternating light and dark bands are visible in viewing the cells with a microscope
  • the pattern is due to the arrangement of the actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fiber
52
Q

Cardiac Muscle

A
  • located in the myocardium of the heart
  • Involuntary (because the contraction is not under our conscious control
  • striated
  • branch and have 1 to 2 centrally located nuclei
53
Q

Intercalated Disks

A

• specialized junctional complexes that are found between adjacent cardiac muscle fibers
- contain numerous gap junctions and tight junctions

54
Q

Smooth Muscle

A
  • located in the walls of glands and organs
  • involuntary
  • lack striations
  • have a single centrally located nucleus
  • muscle fibers are spindle shaped, and have a smooth, homogeneous appearance
55
Q
