Tissues Flashcards
This is an ensemble of cells, not necessarily identical but from the same origin, that together carry our a specific function that is necessary to the survival of multicellular organisms.
Tissues
Study of Tissues.
Histology
Study of Tissues in connection with disease
Histopathology
What are the four types of animal tissues?
• Epithelial Tissue
• Nervous Tissue
• Muscle Tissue
• Connective Tissue
This is a protective, continuous sheet of compactly packed cells.
Epithelial Tissue
What are the characteristics of Epithelial Tissue?
• Cellularity
• Polarity
• Attachment
• Vascularity
• Innervation
• Regeneration
It is highly cellular, tissue as a whole is primarily composed of cells.
Cellularity
Epithelial Tissue is compact due to the?
it make use of the specialized junctions
What are the three specialized functions?
- Tight junctions
- Adherens junctions
- Gap Junctions
This is a type of specialized junction that has a strong bond between neighboring cells and prevents leakage across tissues.
Tight Junctions
A specialized junction that linked the cytoskeleton of the adjacent cells.
Adherens Junctions
A specialized junction used by epithelial cells to facilitate the movement of ions and molecules across the tissue.
Gap junctions
The cells have different appearance in their upper and lower parts.
Polarity
Lower surface of Epithelial Tissue
Basal Surface
Upper Surface of Epithelial Tissue
Apical Surface
All epithelium displays _____ which means that the basal surface are connected to the special membrane called the _______ ________.
Attachment, basement membrane
What are the two lamina that made up the basement membrane?
Basal Lamina and Reticular Lamina
This made up the basement membrane that is adjacent to the epithelium and has fibers and polysaccharides. The materials are also produced from epithelial cells.
Basal Lamina
This made up the basement membrane in which the layer is connected to the underlying tissue and consist of proteins and fibers. And the materials are produced from connective tissue.
Reticular Lamina
It does not have its own blood supply and the materials are diffused from neighboring cells
Vascularity
It is rich in nervous-endings and the epithelial tissue can perform sensory function.
Innervation
Can repair and regenerate itself
Regeneration
Steps Jn Wound Healing
Coagulation, Inflammatory Response, Epithelialization, Fibroplasia, and Maturation
Give the four functions of Epithelial Tissue.
Protection, control permeability, sensation, and secretion
What are the three classification of Epithelial Tissue?
Cell Shape
Layer
Types
What are the three cell shapes of epithelial tissue?
Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar
Flat and thin
Squamous
Box like
Cuboidal
Rectangular, taller than wide in shape
Columnar
Layers of Epithelial Tissue
Simple
Stratified
Pseudostratified
Transitional
one layer
two or more layers
Stratified
Appears to be layered but actually one layer only. It appears to be stratified due to position of nuclei.
Pseudostratified
It is made up of several layers of cells that become flattened when stretched.
Transitional
Types of Epithelial Tissue
Membranous
Glandular
Types of Epithelial Tissue that acts as a protection or covering.
Membranous
It facilitates the exchange of gas, nutrients, and waste product.
Selective Diffusion
It absorbs nutrients coming from digested foods.
Absorption/Secretion
It provides surface protection
Physical Protection
Provide barrier between the internal and external areas of the organ.
Containment
Roles of Membranous
Selective Diffusion
Absorption/Secretion
Physical Protection
Containment
Froms Glands
Glandular
Roles of Glandular
Exocrine and Endocrine
have ducts
Exocrine
ductless and just make use of blood circulation
Endocrine
Unicellular glands that are known to produce and secret mucus.
Goblet cells
It enhance the absorption of nutrients by increasing the surface area of the cell.
Microvilli
It contains a densely packed nerve cell, which are specialized for nerve impulse conduction.
Nervous Tissue
What are the two composition of Nervous Tissue?
Neurons and Glial Cells
It is a specialized type of cell that vary in shape and size.
Neurons
What are the three basic properties of neurons?
Cell Body
Dendrites
Axon
This is where the nucleus is found
Cell Body
Neurons receives inputs from other cells.
Dendrites
It carries information from the cell body to other cells. Or it is where information is sent to the effector.
Axon
Ending of the axon that will form synap with the effector and the synap are actually not a physical connection but rather a gap or space.
Terminal Endings
Messenger of neurons
Neurotransmitters
Special kind of cell membrane. It is also an insulating layer, or sheath that form around the nerves, including those in the brain and spinal chord.
Myelin Sheath
The gaps between the myelin insulation of the axon of neurons where impulses jump as they are transmitted.
Nodes of ranvier
Three types of neurons based on functions.
Motor neuron
Sensory neuron
Inter neuron
It is one of the functional neurons that involved in transmitting signals sending to the muscles and to the glands.
Motor Neuron
Sense organs
Sensory neurons
Connects the motor and sensory neurons
Inter Neurons
What are the four structures of Nervous Tissue?
Anaxonic Neuron
Unipolar Neuron
Bipolar Neuron
Multipolar Neuron
It is a type of neuron where there is no axon or it can not be differentiated from the dendrites. It is also has common touch and pain sensory neuron in peripheral tissue.
Anaxonic Neuron
- A type of neuron that conducts action potentials from the dendrites to the cell body, where they pass directly to the central process.
- One long continuous process.
Unipolar neuron
A type of neuron that has two extensions (one axon and one dendrites). It is also the middle cell body.
Bipolar neuron
The most common types of neurons in the central nervous system. They form the autonomic ganglia and possess a single axon with several symmetrical radiating dendrites. Some neurons have multiple axons of lack axons will together.
Multipolar neuron
Nerves that connects the cranial and spinal nerves.
Peripheral Nervous System
A non-conducting cell that protect and nurture as well as support cells of nervous tissue. It also does not transmit signals or impulse but rather provides support to main actions of neurons.
Glial cells
The glial cells that form myelin sheath around axons of neurons are the
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann Cells
It forms a myelin sheath and the location is in the central nervous system.
Oligodendrocytes
It forms a myelin sheath and the location is in the peripheral nervous system.
Schwann cells
The glial cells that help from the blood-brain barrier. It is also the biggest among the glial cells, and is involved in material exchange.
Astrocytes
Shapes of astrocytes
Star-like
The smallest among the glial cells and it helps for protection.
