Tissues Flashcards
Epathelial Definition
- Covers exposed surfaces
- Lines internal passageways and chambers
- Forms secretory glands
Connective tissue defenition
- Fills internal spaces
- Provides structural support
- Stores energy
3 Types of connective tissue
- fluid
- proper
- supporting
CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER
DENSE:
- dense regular
- dense irregular
- dense elastic
LOOSE:
- areola tissue
- adipose tissue
- reticular
SUPPORTING CONNECTIVE TISSUES
BONE:
CARTILAGE:
- fibrocartilage
- hyaline cartilage
- elastic cartilage
FLUID CONNECTIVE TISSUES
BLOOD:
LYMPH:
FUNCTIONS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- establish a structural framework for the body
- transport fluids and dissolved materials
- protect delicate organs
- support surround and interconnect other types of tissue
- store energy (esp in form triglyceride)
- defend body from invading micro - organisms
Epithelial Tissue includes :
Includes:
- Epithelia
- Glands
- exocrine glands
- endocrine glands
Function of epithelial tissue
- provides physical protection
- control permeability
- provide sensation
- produce specialised secretions
3 kinds of muscle tissue
Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Nervous tissue parts
Dendrites: Receive information
Cell Body: Large nucleus - information processing - lack of ventriole
Neuralgia Functions
- Maintain physical structure of nervous tissue
- Repair nervous tissue frame work after injury
- Perform phagocytosis
- Provide nutrients to neurons
- Regulate the composition of the inertestorial fluid surrounding neurons
Studying anatomy in NZ
- Bodies form bequests
- Informed consent from people + families that can be withdrawn
- Plasternated prosections - process that removes h20 and replaces with silicone - no harm to you - lasts a long time
Human Tissue Act 2008
- Voluntary donations of bodies
- Requires dual consent by donor + imidiate family member
- Most held for 18 months, but some kept for longer periods for teaching + research
Sensory and motor pathways
Sensory receptors ——-> sensory output over cranial nerves ——-> reflex centres in brain ——-> motor output over cranial nerves ——-> EFFECTORS (muscle, adipose tissue, glands)
Sensory receptors ——-> sensory output of spinal nerves ——-> reflex centres in spinal cord ———> motor output over spinal nerves——-> EFFECTORS (muscles, adipose tissue, glands)
