TISSUES Flashcards
study of structure and arrangement of tissues in organs
HISTOLOGY
group of cells with the same function
tissues
cover the body; line body surfaces or form glands
epithelial
attach & support organs
connective
contractile
muscular
conduct impulses
nervous
closely connected cells with little intercellular materials in between
epithelial
cover other tissues
epithelial
functions of epithelial
- protection (e.g. skin)
- absorption of nutrients (e.g. intestine)
- sensation (e.g. neuroepithelium)
epithelial tissues can be classified into:
- number of layers
- shape of cells
- covering and lining epithelial membranes
- secretion
types of epithelial tissue according to number of layers
simple and stratified
types of epithelial tissues according to shape of cells
- squamous
- cuboid
- columnar
thin flat cells
(like tiles on floor)
squamous
cube-shaped
cuboid
cells taller than wide
columnar
types of epithelial tissues according to covering and lining epithelial membrane
- squamous epithelium
- ciliated epithelium
- cuboidal epithelium
- columnar epithelium
thin flat cells; inner lining of mouth
squamous epithelium
tall column-shaped; w cilia
e.g. stomach and intestine lining; upper
respiratory track, roof of mouth of frog
ciliated epithelium
cube-shaped; with almost the same as height
e.g. liver
cuboidal epithelium
no cilia; for absorption
e.g. lining stomach and intestine
columnar epithelium
one or more cells which secrete products
(secretion)
glandular epithelia
◦ empty through ducts
◦ sweat, oil
exocrine gland
◦ ductless
◦ hormones
endocrine gland
goblet cells in intestine
glandular epithelia
supporting tissues
connective
◦ fills spaces
◦ connects body parts
◦ large amounts of intercellular materials
connective
types of connective tissues
fibrous, cartilage, bone
scattered cells, with intercellular spaces occupied by fiber
fibrous
cell type; produce fibers
fiborblasts
what does the cartilage tissue consists of
◦ Chondrocytes (cell type)
◦ Lacuna (space where chondrocytes are)
◦ Intercellular substance
types of cartilage tissues
hyaline, fibrous, elastic
composed of type II collagen
◦ cartilage in nose, and where ribs join the sternum
hyaline
high content of type I collagen fibers
◦ where tendons attach to bones, the intervertebral discs
fibrous
abundant elastic fibers and is quite cellular
◦ auricle of the ear and the epiglottis
elastic
type of cartilage tissues where dense organic matrix (chiefly collagen) with mineral deposits
bone
parts of bone tissues
osteocytes, lacuna, lamella, canaliculi, harversian canal
