Tissues Flashcards

simple squamous epithelium: mesothelium
- single layer of flat cells with disc shaped central nuclei and little cytoplasm
- resembles fried eggs
- form the kidney glomeruli/air sacs of lungs/lining of the <3/ blood vesels and lymphatic vessels/lining of the ventral body cavity

simple squamous epithelium:renal corpuscle
- single later of flat cells with disc shaped central nuclei and small amount of cytoplasm
- form in kidney glomervuli/ air sac of lungs/lining of <3/bloodvessels/lining of the ventral body cavity(serosae)
simply cuboidal epithelium:renal medulla
- single layer of cube shaped cells with large round central nuclei
- forms the kidney tubules and collecting ducts; the ducts and secretory portions of many glands, and the surface of the ovary

simple columnar epithelium:small intestine
- single layer of column shaped cells with either round or oval shaped nucleus. unicellular glands that secrete mucous, microvilli, extensions of the plasma membrane of the apical sruface
- small intestine, digestive tract from stomach to anal canal, gallbladder, portions of uterus and uterine tubes, and excretory ducts of some glands

simple columnar epithelium : oviduct
- single layer of column saped cells
- lines the small bronchi, the uterine tubes, and portions of the uterus

pseudostratified columnar epithelium:trachea
- single layer of cells of differeing heights, some not reaching rhte apical surface
- lines the sperm carrying ducts, lines the trachea and most of the upper repspiratory tract

stratified squamous epithelium: mucosa of the esophagus
- multiple layers of cells with nuclei distributed
- lines the esophagus, mouth vagina, and anus

stratified cuboidal epithelium :duct of sweat gland
- 2 layers of cells, identifiable by the two rows of round nuclei. apical layer composed of cube shaped cells
- location:mammory glands and salivary glands

stratified columnar epithelium: duct in parotid gland
- 2 or more layer of cells; teh apical layer is composed of columnar shaped cells, basal layer is usually cuboidal
- location:lines large ducts of some glands, and some portions of the male urehra

transitional epithelium: ureter
- tissue changes shape, composed of multiple layers of cells. when in realxed state, cells appear cuboidal but when stretched, they appear squamous
- location:forms lining of urinary bladder, ureter, and speior portion of urethra

areolar connective tissue
- matrix contains all 3 fibers types. fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages and other white blood cells found
- location:distributed throughout body loosely binding adjacent structions:forms lamina propria that underlies all epithelia in body; surrounds blood vessels, nerves, muscles

adipose tissue: external ear
- closely packed adipocytes(fat cells) within a sparse matrix. each adipocyte is filled with a large fat droplet causing the nucleus to be pushed to the edge of the cell
- found trhoughout body:hypodermis of skin; eyeballs, mammary glands, within abdomen, within fascial planes seperating muscle layers

reticular conective tissue: lymph node
- matrix composed of reticular fibers loosely distributed within a gel like gound substance. cellular components: fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and other blood cells
- location:forms internal framework of many lympoid organs: spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes

dense irregular connective tissue: submucosa of large intestine
- distinguished by irregular arrangement of fibers densely packed in multiple directions. composed primarily of collagen fibers with some elastic fibers.
- location: retifular layer of dermis of skkin, submucosa of digestive tract, fibrous capsules of organs and joints

dense regular connective tissue:tendon
- densely packed fibers,primarily collagen, arranged parallel to each other with nuclei of the fibroblasts also aligned parallel.
- location:tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses

elastic connective tissue: aorta
- connective tissue with densely packed elastic fibers. notice appearance of dark staining elastic fibers. Here these fibers are within the smooth muscle layer of the wall of the aorta.
- location:found within body wall of arteries; throughout trachea and bronchial tree; located within some ligaments in the neck region

hyaline cartilage connective tissue:trachea
- cartilage cells(chonodrocytes) located within spaces in the tissue matrix
- forms most of the embryonic skeleton, covers teh ends of long bones in joint cavities forms the costal cartilages, the cartilages of nose, trachea and bronchial tree and most laryngeal cartilages

elastic cartilage connective tissue:epiglottis and external ear
- as in hyaline cartilage, the chondrocytes sit in spaces(lacunae) within the tissue matrix
- dark purple strands

fibrocartilage connective tissue:tendon
- gelatinous matrix densely pacekd with thick collagen fibers
- form the intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, articular discs, tendons

compact bone connective tissue
- tissue composed of a hard, calcified matrix contianing many collagen fibers
- found in the shaft of long bones, the external portion of flat short and irregular shaped bones, and the externl portion of the epiphyses

spongy bone
- composed of the same material as compact bone
- arranged into small beams of bony tissue
- located in interal regions of epiphyses, as well in the internal potins of flat, short, and irregular shaped bones

blood smear
- erythrocytes(red blood cells), leukocytes(white blood cells), and plateleys in a fluid matrix
- contained within blood vessels

blood smear: basophil

blood smear:lymphocyte

blood smear: monocyte
- originae and stored in red bone marrow

skeletal muscle
- long cylindrical cells(fibers), multicleated, obvious striations runing perpendicular to fiber directions

skeletal muscle
- in skeletal muscles

neuromusclular junction
- within skeletal muscles

cardiac muscle
- striated muscle composed of branching cells with one centrally located nucleus, cells joined by specialized cell junctions, intercalated discs
- makes up teh myocardium of the heart

smooth muscle:uterus
- nonstriated muscle tissue, elongated tapering cells with single central nucleus closely packed together to form sheets
- composes the muscular layer in the wall of the digestive tract, circulatory vessels, urinary, and reporoductive organs, also located in respiratory tubes and inside the eye

neuronal cell body in central nervous system
- neuronal cell body containes the nucleus and cellular organelles
- found in the central nervous system in brain and spinal cord

peripheral nerve
- fond thorughout body carring sensory and motor innervation from/to the periphery
