structural organisation in animals Flashcards
epithelial tissue
free surface
compactly packed with little intercellular matrix
simple epithelium
single layer of cells
lining for body cavities, ducts and tubes
compound epithelium
two or more layers of cell layers
has protective function
squamous epithelium
flattened cells with irregular boundaries
formation of diffusion boundaries
squamous found in
walls of blood vessels
air sacs of lungs
cuboidal epithelium
cube like cells
secretion and absorption
cuboidal found in
ducts of glands
tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys
proximal convulated tubule
cuboidal epithelium has microvilli
columnar epithelium
tall and slender cells
nuclei located at base
free surface may have microvilli
secretion and absorption
columnar found in
lining of stomach and small intestine
ciliated epithelium
cuboidal or columnar epithelium bearing cilia on free surface
move particles and mucus in a specific direction
ciliated found in
inner surface of hollow organs like
bronchioles
fallopian tubes
glandular epithelium
unicellular - goblet cells of alimentary canal
multicellular - salivary gland
exocrine glands
secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, milk, digestive enzymes, etc
through ducts and tubes
endocrine glands
secrete hormones
directly into the fluid bathing the organ
compound epithelium
multi layered
limited role in secretion and absorption
provide protection against chemical and mechanical stresses
compound found in
dry surface of the skin
moist surface of buccal cavity
pharynx
inner lining of ducts of salivary glands
and in pancreatic ducts
tight junctions
help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue
adhering junctions
cementing to keep neighboring cells together
gap junctions
facilitate cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules, and sometimes big molecules
connective tissue
except blood, the cells secrete fibres of structural proteins called collagen or elastin
fibres provide elasticity and flexibility
cells also secrete modified polysaccharides which accumulate between cells and fibres and act as matrix (ground substance)
loose connective tissue
arranged in semi fluid ground substance
areolar tissue
adipose tissue
areolar
support framework for epithelium
fibroblasts (cells that produce and secretes fibres)
macrophages
mast cells
adipose
specialized to store fat
dense connective tissue
fibres and fibroblasts densely packed
dense regular
tendons (skeletal muscles to bones)
ligaments (bones to bones)
dense irregular
present in skin
specialized connective tissue
cartilage
bones
blood
cartilage
intercellular material is sold and pliable and resists compression
chondrocytes
cartilage present in
tip of nose
outer ear joints
between adjacent bones of the vertebral column, limbs and hands
bones
hard and non pliable ground substance
rich in calcium salts and collagen fibres which giev it strength
structural frame to body
osteocytes in lacunae
mammal bone
presence of haversian canal
site of production of blood cells
bone marrow
