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
melanocytes
synthesize and secrete melanin
mast cell
found near blood vessels and release histamine ti promote inflammatory process
lympocytes
destroy substances and some become plasma cells and produce antibodies
microphags
WBC’s that leave the blood stream to enter damaged tissue
What is a ground substance?
fills space between cells can be liquid, gel, or solid
what are Proteogycans
complex carbs
what is fibronectin
connects the ground substance to protein fibers
what are the three types of protein fibers
collagen, reticular, elastic
what are collagen fibers
(most common) unbranched fibers wound together to provide tensile strength
what are recticular fibers
single branched fiber forms stroma (spider web)
what are elastic fibers
unbranched wavy fibers of elastin- stretch and recoil
what is embryonic ct
contains mesenchymal cells with fine reticular fibers- forms into adult ct
what is ct proper
found throughout the body with variable amount of cell
- can be loose or dense
what is loose connective tissue
functions as packing material to cushion and stabilize organs
what are the three type of connective tissue
areolar, adipose, and reticular
what is areolar ct
separated skin from deeper layers and has extensive blood and nerve supply
what is adapose
used as cushioning and heat-loss barrier. white fat in adults
what is reticular ct
network of fibers that produce framework known as stroma
-holds organs together
what is dense ct
it contains more fibers but less cells. packed with collagen
what are the 3 types of dense ct
dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic ct
dense regular `
fibers are aligned in one direction
- tendons: attach muscle to bone
- ligaments: attach bone to bone
- aponeurosis: broad flat tendinous sheath
dense irregular
interwoven fiber in diff directions tough tissue(whites of eyeballs, dermis of skin)
elastic ct
dense array of fibers but majority are elastic. can stretch and return to original shape
lung tissue, vocal cord
fluid ct: blood
connective tissue with a liquid matrix(plasma)
-RBCs
-WBCs
platelets
Fluid CT lymph
contains less protein than plasma.
- Alerts immune system to infections
- move cells from one part of the body to another
Supportive CT
strong matrix with numerous fibers designed to support and protect. Can handle physical loads with permanent deformation
what are the 2 types of supportive ct
cartilage and bone
what is the main cell of cartilage
chondrocytes
