The Tissues and integumentary System Flashcards
Gives rise to epidermis and nervous system
Ectoderm
Produces mucous membrane of respiratory
tract, thyroid gland, secretory parts of pancreas
Endoderm
Gives rise to connective and muscle tissue
Mesoderm
Cells are specialized for particular functions
Body Tissues
group of cells with similar structure and function
Tissues
FOUR PRIMARY TYPES
- Epithelium
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous Tissue
TO FOUND IN
o body coverings
o body linings
o Glandular tissues
Epithelial Tissue
TO FUNCTION AS Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion
Epithelial Tissue
Epithelial cells may assume one of the three
basic shapes:
squamous, cuboidal, or columnar
it appear as single or multiple
layers.
Epithelia
Consists of a single layer of flat, scale-like cells
SIMPLE SQUAMOUS
Consists of a single layer of cube-like cells
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL
Consists of a single layer of tall cells
SIMPLE COLUMNAR
Consists of a single layer of irregularly
shaped columnar cells
PSEUDOSTATIFIED
protection as it forms a thick
layer of epithelium
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS
two layers of cuboidal cells
STATIFIED CUBOIDAL
surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape
STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
found mainly in ducts of
large glands
STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL AND COLUMNAR
Multiple cell layers
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
GRANDULAR EPITHELIUM
-ENDOCRINE
GLAND
-EXOCRINE GLANDS
o ductless
o secrete hormones
ENDOCRINE
GLAND
o ducts to surface
o oil and sweat
EXOCRINE GLANDS
TO FOUND IN
o Everywhere
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
TO FUNCTION AS
- Binds tissue together
- Supports the body
- Provides protection
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
made up of non-living
EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
TWO MAIN ELEMENTS OF EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
GROUND SUBSTANCE
FIBERS
mostly water along with adhesion and polysaccharide molecules
GROUND SUBSTANCE
produces by cells
FIBERS
THREE TYPES OF FIBERS
o Collagen fibers
o Elastic fibers
o Reticular fibers
Loose packing, support, and
nourishment for the structures
with which it is associated
AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Packing material, thermal
insulator, energy storage, and protection of organs against injury from being bumped or jarred
ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
consists of adipocytes, or fat cells. They reduces heat loss and provide great amount of energy reserve, support and protection.
Adipose tissue
Provides a superstructure for lymphatic and hemopoietic tissues
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Withstand great pulling
forces exerted in the direction of fiber orientation due to great tensile strength and stretch resistance
DENSE REGULAR COLLAGENOUS
more fibers, less ground substance
Dense
fewer fibers, more ground substance
Loose
Capable of stretching and
recoiling like a rubber band with strength in the direction of fiber orientation
DENSE REGULAR ELASTIC
semisolid matrix
Cartilage
