Tissue Flashcards
CNS regeneration
microglia - stem cells of the brain
Muscle satellite cells
myosatellite cells (stem cells)
Primary stem cell in connective tissue
Myosatellite cells pg.293
Autophagy
Cell activity regulation
Adipose tissue
Fatty tissues (areolar tissue can transform into adipose)
Epithelial tissue
Epithelia - cells that cover external or line internal surfaces
glands -structures that produce fluid
Edema
Swelling
Three kinda of epithelia
Squamous, Cuboidal, Columnar (from appearance) pg.120
Collagen
Flexible as rope, strong as steel pg130 (connective tissue fiber)
Tissue repair
Division of stem cells
What release causes inflammation
Mast cells pg.172
Skin response to injury (what causes bleeding)
Mast cells release histamine,heparin, and prostaglandin, causing inflammation, (increased blood flow, pain), inflammation subsides, regeneration occurs
Function of fibrocartilage callus
Matrix of dense fibers;
Absorbs shock, resists compression, prevents damage (bone to bone) limits movement
Steps of tissue reconstruction
Inflammation
Migration
Proliferation
Scarring
Malignancies from skin layers
Most cancers found in epithelial cells. Mutations in the nucleus can prevent recognition of cancer cells for apoptosis.
