REVIEW OF FUNDAMENTAL HISTOLOGY Flashcards
Study of normal tissues (“originates from
germ layers”)
Histology
changes when it comes to cell genes, shape and size
morphogenetic movements (
these cells become arranged in 3 germ
layers (“primary cellular layers that forms
during embryonic development”)
Small cells formed from fertilized eggs
(Internal layer) – give
rise to the lining of digestive, urinary,
and reproductive tract
Endoderm
(Middle layer) – give
rise to skeletal and muscular system
Mesoderm
(External layer) – give
rise to central and peripheral
nervous system
Ectoderm
Lung alveolar cells
Thyroid Cells
Digestive cells (pancreatic cells)
These cells are found in what germ layer?
Endoderm
Cardiac muscle cells
Skeletal muscle cells
tubular cells of kidney
RBC
Smooth muscle cells of gut
These cells are found in what germ layer?
Mesoderm
Skin cells of epidermis
Brain Neurons
Pigment Cells
Ectoderm
Group of cells of common origin and common function
Tissues
4 categories of tissues
- Epithelial tissues – Derived from all the 3 germ
layers - Connective tissues – from mesoderm
- Muscular tissues – from mesoderm
- Nervous tissues – from ectoderm
These describe?
- Blood vessels are absent
- Exposed to physical injuries and infections
- Some epithelia are specialized for the reception of
stimuli (ex: nerve endings)
Covering Epithelia
Types of Epithelial tissues
- Covering epithelia
- Glandular epithelia
Types of cellular arrangement
- Simple – One cell thick
- Pseudostratified – appear to be more than one cell thick but cells rest on common basement membrane
- Stratified – many layers of cells
Types of Cell shapes
- Squamous – flattened cells (like paving
stones or flattened) - Cuboidal – cube like (isodiametric cells)
- Columnar – Cells that are taller than they
are wide - Transitional – Cells that change their shape
when the epithelium is stretched
a. Bowman’s capsule
b. Endothelium of blood vessels
c. Loop of Henle
d. Alveoli of lungs
THESE ARE ALL WHAT KIND OF CELL SHAPE?
Squamous
a. gallbladder (NONCILIATED)
b. uterine tube (CILIATED)
THESE ARE ALL WHAT KIND OF CELL SHAPE?
Columnar
a. Epidermis of the skin (KERATINIZED)
b. Vagina (NON-KERATINIZED)
c. Cervix (NON-KERATINIZED)
THESE ARE ALL WHAT KIND OF CELL SHAPE?
Squamous
sweat gland ducts are made up of what cells?
Cuboidal
The male urethra is made up of what cells?
Columnar
The urinary tract is made up of what cells?
Transitional
- much of female reproductive tract (NONCILIATED)
- Trachea (CILIATED)
What kind of cells make these up?
Columnar
Glands with ducts
Exocrine glands
Ductless glands
Endocrine glands
stomach & Uterus EXOCRINE glands contain what shape of cells?
TUBULAR
Pancreas & salivary glands EXOCRINE glands contain what shape of cells?
ACINAR/ALVEOLAR
Prostate EXOCRINE glands contain what shape of cells?
TUBULO-ACINAR
Highly vascular glands and discharge their
secretions into blood vessels. DISCHARGES HORMONES
Endocrine Glands
What is the method of secretion here?
o No loss of cytoplasm
o Secretions accumulate below the free
surface of the cell through which it is
released
Merocrine
Goblet cells, sweat cells are APOCRINE CELLS
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE
They are MEROCRINE cells
What is the method of secretion here?
o With cytoplasmic loss
o Secretions accumulate below the free
surface but can only be released by breaking
away of the distal part of the epithelium
APOCRINE
Mammary glands in milk secretion are APOCRINE cells?
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
type of secretion wherein there is complete breakdown of the secretory cell
HOLOCRINE
Example of HOLOCRINE secretion
Sebaceous glands
Identidy the type of tissue
o Cells are usually widely separated by a large
amount of intercellular substance.
o Blood and blood-forming tissues, bone, and
cartilage are members of this group
Connective tissues
These are examples of?
o Loose connective tissues (LCT)
o Dense connective tissues (DCT)
General Connective Tissues
These are examples of?
o Cartilage
o Bone
o Blood
o Lymph
o Hematopoietic
Special Connective Tissues
These are examples of?
o Mucoid tissues – Wharton’s jelly
o Reticular - Bone marrow, lymph node
o Mesenchyme – embryo and fetus
o Adipose – hypodermis
Loose Connective Tissue
These are examples of?
o Dermis
o Capsules of organs
o Tendons
o Stroma of Cornea
Dense Connective Tissue
These are examples of?
o Hyaline – trachea
o Fibrous – intervertebral discs
o External ear, epiglottis
Cartillage
