Q

Induced pluripotent stem cells

A

Adult stem cells that were induced (programmed) to become pluripotent, capable of becoming any type of cell. Basically a embryonic but programmed to be like that

Q

Epithelial tissue function?

A

Prevents damage, heat loss, dehydration, infection. Protects body cavaties and organs. Eg, skin, air sacs in lungs, lining of digestive system

Q

Nervous tissue

A

Structure: long thin cells w branches, conduct electrical impulses btw brain, spinal nerves, body

Function: coordinates body’s movements, communicates messages within body to aid in survival

Eg: hand touching hot stove, msg to brain, brain interprets danger, brain sends msg to hand, hand leaves stove

15
Q

Connective tissues?

A

Structure: various types of cells and fibres, cells are held together by a liquid, solid, or gel matrix.

Function: joins tissues together, supports and protects structures. Provides insulation as it fills empty space between tissues.

Eg, bone, tendon, blood, cartilage

16
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Structure: bundles of long cells called muscle fibres. Capable of shortening and contracting

Function:movement of the human body, posture, movement of substances inside the body, and generation of body heat.

3 types of muscle tissues: skeletal, cardiac, smooth

17
Q

Types of connective tissue

A

Blood, bone, tendon, cartilage

18
Q

Bone

A

Made up of living cells and hard non-living material

19
Q

What is osteoporosis?

A

A disease, means you babe low bone mass, determination of bone tissue, and your bones can break easily. In bones, common in elder people.

20
Q

What’s the difference btw ligament and tendon

A

Ligaments are similar to string elastic bands, they connect BONES TO BONES

Tendons are tough, non elastic tissues that connect MUSCLES TO BONES

21
Q

cartilage

A

Strong, flexible tissue that cushions the surrounding joints

Eg, nose, ear, knees, rib cage

22
Q

What causes arthritis?

A

Loss of cartilage tissue

23
Blood
Fluid tissue made up of 4 main components 1. Red blood cells: carry oxygen to body parts 2. White blood cells: fight infections 3. Platelets: clots blood if we get injured 4. Plasma: carries nutrients to body parts
24
Skeletal
Striated muscle tissue (long, fine, fibers), attacked to skeleton, makes bones move, voluntary
25
Cardiac
A muscle tissue Striated muscle tissue (long fine fibers) Lines the walls of the heart, involuntary
26
Smooth
Muscle tissue Not striated, muscle tissue is small and long, found in walls of tubes such as blood vessels, glandular ducts and digestive system. Involuntary.
