Tissue and specialised cells Flashcards
a group of specialized cells which work together
Tissue
selective barrier that regulates the movement of material in and out the body
Epithelial Tissue
Secretory surface that releases products
Epithelial Tissue
Protective surface against environment
Epithelial Tissue (skin)
cover body surface, line hollow organs, body cavities, and ducts
Epithelial Tissue
most abundant/ widely distributed
Connective tissue
protecting and binding organs
Connective Tissue
storing energy (fat)
Connective Tissues
Strong attachment and immunity
Connective tissues
tendons and ligaments
Connective tissues
Cartilage
Connective tissues
bone, blood, adipose tissue (fat)
Connective tissues
consist of elongated cells (myocyte) called muscle fibers
Muscular tissue
use ATP to generate force or heat
Muscular Tissue
Contains lots of mitochondria
Muscular tissue
3 types of muscular tissue
Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth (Involuntary movement)
consist of 2 main type of cell called neurons and neuroglia
Nervous tissue
Nerve cell
Neurons
Supports
Neuroglia
conduct impulses
neurons
analyze information
Neurons
store memories
Neurons
detects and responds to changes in the body
neurons
conduct impulses from receptor yo the central nervous system
Sensory neurons
process and integrate info, store memories, dirext responses
Interneurons
only found in central nervous system
interneurons
conduct nerve impulses from the CNS to muscles and to glands
Motor Neurons
3 types of neurons
Sensory, Interneurons, Motor Neurons
specialized cells that do not have a nucleus
Erythrocytes
a cell that cannot divide and instead formed in the blood stem cell
Erythrocytes
