TEST 2 Flashcards
A group of closely associated Cells that work together to carry out a specific Function or group of Functions
Tissue
A tissue is classified by
size, shape and arrangement
Nonliving material that lies Between the cells and is produced by the cells
-Give body its strength to maintain shape
Intercellular Materials
Close space between cells by fusing cell membranes
Among cells that form linings, sheet-like layers such as found in the Blood-Brain Barrier
Tight Junctions
Form “spot welds” between cells; similar to Velcro & provides structural reinforcement
Desmosomes
Form tubular channels between cells and allows molecules to move between cells
Gap Junctions
Tissue that functions: Protection, Secretion, Absorption, Excretion
Epithelial
Tissues functions: Movement
Muscle
Covers all free body surfaces, inside and out
Epithelial Tissue
Location:
Air Sacs (alveoli) of the lungs where O2 and CO2 are exchanged
Walls of Capillaries, lines the insides of blood and lymph vessels
Covers the membranes that line body cavities
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Location:
Covers the Ovaries
Lines the Kidneys Tubules and Ducts of various Glands
Simple Cubodial Epithelium
Location: Lines the Uterus, Stomach and Intestines
Simple Columnar Epithelium
Location: Lines the passages of the Respiratory System
Psudedostratified Columnar Epithelium
Reticular Fibers are also produced by
Fibroblast
Release fluid products by Exocytosis: Release secretions without losing Cytoplasm
Meocrine Glands
Lose some of their Cytoplasm during secretion of their products
Apocrine Glands
Release entire Cells in their secretions
Holocrine Glands
Lines Ducts of Mammary, Sweat, and Salivary Glands, and the Pancreas
Stratified Cubodial Epithelium
Lipids are stored in
Adipoctyes
Adipoctyes are located in the _____
Dermis
Correct sequence of the strata in order.
- Stratum Corneum
- Stratum Lucidum
- Stratum Granulosum
- Stratum Spinosum
- Stratum Basale
Where are meloncytes located?
Stratum Basale
is a complex disk-shaped structure that is located on the surface of one cell that is matched to an identical structure on the surface of the adjacent cell________?
Desmosome
Layer of Dead cells and is only found in thick skin (Palms of hands & feet, lips)___?
Cells appear clear
Stratum Lucidum
Plays a Role in Temperature Regulation and is the outermost layer
Stratum Corneum
Ridges allow us to grip surfaces and walk upright and grasp objects are called ______
Dermal Papillae
Carry Impulses to Dermal Muscles and Glands causing them to react
Motor Fibers
Carry impulses away from specialized sensory Receptors of Skin
Sensory Fibers
Located deep in the Dermis
Stimulated by heavy Pressure
Pacinian (Lamellated) Corpuscles
Detect Light Touch
Meissner’s (Tactile) Corpuscles
Anchors the Skin to the underlying tissue and storage site for Nutrients (Lipids are stored in Adipocytes)
Hypodermis
What produces Goose Bumps _______?
Arrector Pili Muscle
Sebum is produced by ____
Sebaceous Glands
Type of Merocrine Gland that releases fluid products by Exocytosis (Respond to elevated body temperature)
Glands produce a thin, watery liquid (Sweat / Perspiration)
Eccrine Glands
Found all over the body, but are especially numerous on the Forehead, Upper Lip, Neck, Back, Palms and Soles
Eccrine (Sweat) Glands
Glands that lose some Cytoplasm during secretion
Apocrine Glands
Embedded in the Subcutaneous Tissue and their ducts open into Hair Follicles
Begin to function at Puberty under the influence of the Androgens
Apocrine (Sweat) Glands
Apocrine glands are found?
Axillary region (Armpits)
