Tissues Flashcards
4 primary tissue types
Their functions
Nervous: control & communication
Muscle: movement
Epithelial: cover and protect
Connective: Provide Support
Study of tissues is called:
Histology
2 types of nervous tissue cells
List the the parts & function of these cells
Neuron & Galia
Dendrite (Receives Info)
Cell body ( Contains Nucleus)
Axon ( Sends Info)
3 types of muscle cells
Which contains multiple nuclei?
Which contains intercalated disc?
Which is shirt and tapered?
Which are striated?
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Skeletal & Cardiac
Two types of epithelial cells
Where are they located on the body?
Proper Epithelium: Covers & Lines your inner and outer body.
Glandular: Forms your glands (No suprise) 🤣🤣
3 shapes of epithelial cells
Function and where are they found
Squamous: Surface of skin, lining of hollow organs, lining respiratory / digestive tracts
(Filtration & Diffusion)
Cubodial: Ovaries, Nephrons, Renal Tubes, Eye / Thyroid and Salivary Glands (Secretion & Absorption)
Columinar: Digestive Tract ( Secretion, Absorption, Protection)
How can epithelial cells be layered?
Simple ( 1)
Stratified (Multiple)
Pseudo-Stratified Appeared Layered but only 1 layer
What are the two polar ends of the epithelial cell called?
Apical towards outside or lumen
Basal towards the basement membrane
Endocrine glands secret hormones where?
Bloodstream or nearby cells
Exocrine glands secrete where?
Outside the body
Connective tissues function is determined by?
Extracellular Matrix and fibers
Connective tissue can be divided into 4 categories
Proper
Cartilage
Bone (Osseous)
Blood
Connective tissue proper can be divided in to 2 categories
Loose & Dense
Connective tissue proper Loose can be divided into 3 categories
Give basic function of each
Why is it called loose
Areola: Most common hold epithelial tissues in place
Reticular: Holds blood in place
Adipose: Storage place for lipids
It’s loose because there is less fibers present
Connective tissue proper, Dense had 3 types:
What is the distinction of these tissue types
Regular ( Tendons & Ligaments)
Irregular ( Dermis)
Elastic ( Connect Vertebrate)
Difference between tendon and a ligament?
Tendon: Muscle to Muscle or Bone
Ligament: Bone to Bone
What is the extra cellular matrix composed of?
Ground Substances & Fibers
An amorphous gelatinous material, fills the spaces between fibers & cells
Ground Substances
3 types of fibers
Collagen: Most abundant & Strongest
Elastic: Allows for stretching and recoil
Reticular: Forms a meshwork to provide structural support to lymphoma organs
The suffix “blast” mean…
What is the function of osteoblast and chondrablasts.
An immature cell
lay down new bone during skeletal development and remodelling
Development of cartilage. By producing extracellular matrix
What is bone tissue aka
Osseous tissue
2 types of Osseous Tissue & their location
Spongy- Heads of long bones & inner layer of flat bones
Compact- Outer layer of bones.
