tissues Flashcards
what are the four primary tissues
1 epithelial
2 connective
3 muscle
4 nervous
epithelial
covers body surfaces
lines organs, body cavities and ducts
forms glands
connective
protects and supports the body and organs
keeps organs together
stores energy (fat)
immune function
muscle
movement
nervous
detects and respond to environment changes
ECF
fluid that doesn’t encompass fluid in the cells
ICF- fluid that fills the space btw tissue and cells
plasma- liquid portion of blood
how cells are held together ?
via cell junctions which are intercellular connections btw adjacent cell membranes 1 tight junctions 2 adherent junctions 3 desmosomes junctions 4 hemidesmosomes 5 gap junctions
thigh junctions
adjacent plasma membrane
intercellular space (small)
strands of trans protein
adherent junctions( anchoring)
adjacent
microfilament actin- adhesion belt
como la ebilla de la correa- transmembrane glycoprotein cadherin
helps epithelial Tx resist separation during mechanical activity
desmosomes (anchoring)
2X anchoring plague - comprised of intermediate filaments
transmembrane glycoproteins: Cadherins
arranged like spot welds
contributes to mechanical stability of the tissue (outer layer of skin and cardiac tissue)
hemidesmosomes (anchoring)
. hemidesmosome
Only one anchoring plague*
transmembrane glycoproteins: integrin
fasten cells to each other or to extracellular proteins (basement membrane proteins)
gap junction
have connexons composed of connexin
channel proteins of adjacent cells connect
allow direct cell-cell transfer of small molecules (electrical and chemical signals)
*calcium ions in heart muscle
snail gene
activations of this gene suppresses cadherin production leading to dysplasia- tumor- metatarsi
epithelial tissue
covering and lining of epithelium(barrier membrane)
glandular epithelial- secretions and absorption.
epithelial 10 general features
1.) tightly packed
2.) form sheets single or multiples
3.) two surfaces apical or basal
4,) numerous cell junctions
5.) avascular
6.) basement membrane
7.) nerves supply usually present
8.) High capacity for mitosis
9.) diverse origin
10.) diverse functions
structure of epithelium
epical surface- top surface
lateral surfaces- sides- stick together
basal surface- bottom
structure under cell ?
basal laminar- attaches to basal surface of cell
reticular laminar- rough
connective tissue
in btw all of these layers you can find nerves and and blood vessels.
types of arrangements of layers
simples- one layer
pseudostratified- nucleus of cells don’t align
stratified- multiples layers
types of cell shape
squamous- flat
cuboidal- square
columnar- skinny
what are the two types of glandular cell
exocrine and endocrine
