tissue Flashcards
define tissue
a group of cells acting together to perfoorm a specific function
where is epethelial tissue found
lining of organs and surfaces
the 3 types of epithelial tissue
squamous
columnar
endothelium
function and location of squamous tissue
lining organs
one cell thick for quick diffusion of oxygen into blood and co2 in lungs
flattened cells
functin and location of columnar tissue
line the trachea
protect lungs from infection by sweeping away pathogens
secret mucus to trap mucus
function and location of endothelial tissue
lines the heart and bloo vessels
short diffusion path
risk factors affeting endothelial tissue
carbon monoxide
high blood pressure damage lining
EBC repair damage with smooth tissue but that causes lipids to go under the lining instead of over (atherosclerosis)
define skeletal muscle
aattached to bones’
control its contractions and relaxations
define cardiac muscle
in the heart
contracts at steady rate to make heartbeat
not voluntary control
define smooth muscle
walls of hollow organs
not under voluntary control
what is sarcoplasm
long strands of cells sharing nuclei ad cytoplasm
define myofibril
made from myofilaments, that enablecontractions. appear as bands
a band
i band
