Test Two Flashcards
What are the four types of tissues
Muscle, nervous, epithelial, connective
What is epithelial tissue
It covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways or form glands
What are cams
Transmembrane proteins thst proceed through the cell membrane and can combine to cams to form other cells or to the basil lamina
What are cell junctions
Specialized areas of bound or interlocking membranes
What are the three types of junctions
Tight, gap, desosomes
What are tight junctions
Band of tranmembraneous proteins that produce a waterproof barrier.
They don’t let polar substances pass btwn
Desosomes
Plaques reinforced by intermediate filaments. Found in areas subject to much mechanical stress (skin and heart tissue)
Attachments of ET
Hemidesosomes attach epithelia to basement membrane.
What makes up the basement layer
Lucinda and Densa. Holds cells to connective tissue
What are the main functions of ET
Physical protection, selective permeability, provide sensation, and specialized secretions
What are the two types of glandular tissues
endocrine glands: secrete hormones into the bloodstream
exocrine glands: cells that secrete sweat, wax, saliva, and digestive emzymes
Wha are the 3 modes of secretion?
merocrine (most glands): release products by exocytosis
apocrine: milk glands- pinches off and repairs itself
halocrine: oil glands- cells die and rupture to release their products
How is ET classified?
By the arrangement of cells into layers and by shape of surface cells.
Simple squamous
single layer of flat cells.
- lines blood vessels & body cavities
- thin and controls diffusion, osmosis, and filtration
simple cuboidal
single layer of cubes shaped cells
- lines tubules of kidney
- absorption or secretion
ciliated simple columnar
single layer of rectangular cells with cilia
-found in respiratory system and uterine tubes
pseudostratified columnar
single cell layer, all attached to basement layer
- nuclei and varying depths
- respiratory system, male urethra and epididymis
stratified squamous
layers of squamous cells
- typical of linings which are exposed to mechanical stress
- ectodermal origin
stratified cuboidal
multilayered
-only found in ducts of sweat and mammary glands
what is connective tissue
it is the structural framework for the body.
it protects, insulates and compartmentalizes body structures. derived from embryologic mesoderm
-vary is consistency
-have specialized cells and a martix
fribroblasts
present in all CT secretes glycosaminoglycans and collagen
macrophages
engulf and digest foreign bodies and damaged cells
adipocytes
store fat
mesenchymal cells
stem cells utilized for tissue repair
