Tissue Flashcards
Squamous epithelial cell
- scaly, flat,thin cells that don’t offer much protection
- they fit together closely ( like crazy paving)
- allow materials pass through by osmosis and diffusion
Found in- lung ( alveoli), blood capillaries, bowman’s capsules of neuprons ( kidneys )
Cubodial epithelial cells
Cube shaped with spherical nuclei
- lines ducts and tubes to allow materials
Found in - kidneys ( tubules), sweat ducts, thyroid glands , breast tissue
Columnar epithermal cells
Tall with slightly oval shaped nuclei
Secretes mucous and removed unwanted particles using cilla : found in
- trachea
- bronchi
- small intestine
Found in goblet cells which secrete mucus’s in the respiratory and alimentary tract
Coumpound epithelial tissue
Varied structure
- in multiple layers
Protect deeper parts of body
Mouth
Tongue
Oesgogus
Vagina
where is the connective tissue lie
Under the epithelial tissue
Function Blood tissue
Transports materials different materials and substances around the body such as dissolved gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide and nutrients like glucose, amino acids, salts, enzymes and hormones
What is the function of compact bone tissue
Bone
- strengths
- protects
Cartilage
- protects ends of the bones
- liberates joints
What is the function of adipose tissue
- stores fat
- insulates
- makes 20%-25% of body weight
Arelor tissue
Holds organ in place
- add layers to other epithermal tissues
What is the definition of diffusion
- the passage of molecules from high concentration to low concentration
What is the definition of osmosis
The passage of water molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration through a permeable membrane
What is the definition of epithelial tissue
The lining of internal and external surfaces and body cavities
Where does arterial blood flow come from
Arterial blood flow comes from from tyr heart and is bright red ( oxygenated blood)
Where does venous blood flow come from
Venous blood flows to the heart and is dark red- deoxygenated blood
What does collogen do for ur skin/tissue
- structural protein in the form of fibers for strength
What parts of the Central nervous system (CNS) include
Brain and spinal cord
Automatic nervous system(ANS)
Part of nervous system , controlling the internal organs
ANTAGONISTS muscles
- one muscle or one sheet of muscle’s
- contracts while opposing muscle or sheet relaxes
- when the biceps contract, the tricepts relax
Homeostasis in tissue/ muscles
Mantaining a constant internal environment despite changing circumstances
- water content surrounding cells
-PH and chemical concentration
Temperature
What is myelin
Insulated sheeth around many nerve fibers
- formed proteins and phospholipids - increasing the speed of nerve conduction
What is inside plasma
What is the colour of plasma
Oxygen
CO2
Nutrient
Glucose
Salt
Hormones
Animo acids
Protein( for blood clotting)
Usally yellow sometimes orange- bc of hempglobin
What are red blood cells called / what do they carry
What are the shape of red blood cells/ Why they are that shape
Red blood cells are called erythrocytes
And they carry oxygen haemoglobin
- the shape of a RBC is a biconcave disc
- RBC HAVE a biconcave disc to increase there surface area for the diffusion of oxygen across their surfaces
What are large white cells called
-Granuloctyes
- defence mechasim again infection
Can change shape to engulf foreign bacteria/cells- this process is called phagocytes, polymorphs and neutrophils.
-granules in cytoplasm
- lobed nuclei
If ur white celll count is raised it could mean you have an infection or inflammation in ur body
What are small white blood cells called
What does a neutralised microbe called
Lymphocytes
- body defence mechanisms
- help body produce antibodies
Lymphocytes can identify antigen as diseases causing microbes or pathogens have antigens on there surface which act as an identity maker
- antibodies, specific to the antigen, attach and neutralise the antigen, prevring it from multiplying
- a neutralised microbe is called phagocyted
