TISSUES Flashcards
What are the basic unit of tissue?
Group of cells
What are the 4 types of tissues?
Epithelial tissue
Connective tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
It is the study of tissues
Histology
It is the tissue where cells fit closely together and often form sheets the apical surface is the free surface of the tissue.
Epithelial tissue
Epithelial tissue regenerate easily if well-nourished. True or False?
True
This tissue protects the underlying tissue, act as barrier, permit passage of substances, secretes substances and absorb substances.
Epithelial tissue
What are the major types of epithelium based on layers of cells
Simple
Stratified
Pseudostratified
Transitional
It is a type of epithelium which has one layer of cells.
Simple
It is a type of epithelium which has more than one layer.
Stratified
It is a special type of simple epithelium which tissue appears to be stratified, but all cells contact basement membrane.
Pseudostratified
It is a special type of stratified epithelium.
Transitional
Based on the shape of cells, flattened means?
Squamous
What do you call to a cube shape of cells?
Cuboidal
It is a column like shape of cells.
Columnar
Is a single layer of flat cells,
Simple squamous
It is a single layer of cube like cells
Simple cuboidal
It is a single layer of tall cells often includes mucus producing goblet cells
Simple columnar
Single layer but some cells are shorter than others often looks like a double layer of cells but all cells rest on the basement membrane.
Pseudostratified columnar
Cells of the apical surface are flattened and functions as a protective covering where friction is common.
Stratified squamous
It is a multiple layers of cuboidal cells; functions in protection
Stratified cuboidal
Surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape; functions in protection
Stratified columnar
It is a kind of stratified epithelia which is rare in human body, found mainly in ducts of large glands
Stratified cuboidal and columnar
It is composed of modified stratified squamous epithelium.
Transitional epithelium
One or more cells responsible for separating a particular product.
Gland
What are the two major gland types?
Endocrine gland
Exocrine gland
What are the two types of exocrine gland?
Simple exocrine glands
Compound exocrine glands
It is a type of gland which is ductless since aggressions diffuse into blood vessels; all secretions are hormones.
Endocrine gland
It is a type of gland in which secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface. It includes sweat and oil glands.
Exocrine gland
Sweat glands, glands of the digestive tract, and sebaceous glands are specifically what type of gland?
Simple exocrine gland
Mammary glands and salivary glands are what specifically type of gland?
Compound exocrine gland
It is a tissue which is found everywhere in the body and includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues.
Connective tissue
What are the three major components of extracellular matrix?
Fibers
Ground substance
Fluid
What are the three types of fibers?
Collagen (white) fibers
Elastic (yellow) fibers
Reticular fibers
It is one of the major component of extracellular matrix which is mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules.
Ground substance
It is the most widely distributed connective tissue; it is soft, pliable tissue like “cobwebs”.
Areolar tissue
It is a type of loose connective tissue in which matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate.
Adipose tissue
It is a type of loose connective tissue which delicate network of interwoven fibers.
Reticular connective tissue
This tissue contains a main matrix element which is collagen fiber.
Dense connective tissue
These are cells that make fibers.
Fibroblast
It attached skeletal muscle to bone
Tendons
It attached bone to bone at joints
Ligaments
It is the lower layers of the skin
Dermis
It is the most common type of cartilage and composed of abundant collagen fibers and rubbery matrix
Hyaline cartilage
Where is hyaline cartilage located?
Larynx
Entire fetal a skeleton prior to birth
It is a type of supporting connective tissue which is highly compressible and forms cushion-like disks between vertebrae.
Fibrocartilage
It is a type of supporting connective tissue which provides elasticity and supports the external ear.
Elastic cartilage
It is a type of supporting connective tissue and also called as osseous tissue.
Bone
It is a type of fluid connective tissue which is also called vascular tissue.
Blood
Blood cells are surrounded by fluid matrix called what?
Blood plasma
It functions as the transport vehicle for materials
Blood
What are the three types of muscle tissue?
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle
Cardiac muscle
A type of muscle tissue that contracts to pull on bone or skin hon produces gross body movements and facial expressions.
Skeletal muscle
Striated, multinucleate, long, cylindrical cells are characteristics pf what muscle cell?
Skeletal muscle
A muscle tissue which is under involuntary control and found only in the heart.
Cardiac muscle
Striated, one nucleus per cell, branch and connected to one another by intercalated discs are characteristics of what muscle cells?
Cardiac muscle cells
It is an under involuntary muscle and found in walls of hollow organs such as stomach, uterus, and blood vessels.
Smooth muscle
No visible striations, one nucleus per cell, and spindle-shaped cells are characteristics of what muscle cells?
Smooth muscle cells
It is composed of neurons and nerve support cells and function is to send impulses to other areas of the body.
Nervous tissue
It supports cells called neuroglia insulate, protect, and support neurons.
Nerve tissue
It is the ability of the nerve tissue to respond to environmental changes.
Irritability
It is the ability to carry a nerve impulse or a message.
Conductivity
Replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells
Regeneration
Repair by dense (fibrous) connective tissue (scar tissue)
Fibrosis
It is when capillaries become very permeable; clotting proteins migrate into the area from the bloodstream
Inflammation
What are the tissues that regenerate easily?
Epithelial tissue (skin and mucous membrane) Fibrous connective tissues and bone
What are the tissues that regenerate poorly?
Skeletal muscle
What are the tissues that regenerate poorly?
Skeletal muscle
What are the tissues that are is placed largely with scar tissue?
Cardiac muscle
Nerve tissue within the brain and spinal cord
