Tissues And Cell Modification Flashcards
It bind structure together, form a framework and support for the organs and the body as a whole.
Connective Tissue
A fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
Tendons
Flexible fibrous connective tissue that connects 2 bones.
Ligaments
Lining of tract organs and other hollow organs. Structure through which the tissue is found.
Epithelial Tissue
Air sacs of the lungs; blood vessels; heart
Simple Squamos Epithelial Tissue
Skin; vagina; esophagus; mouth
Stratified Squamos Epithelial Tissue
Kidney tubules; glands; surface of ovary
Coboidal Epithelial Tissue
Digestive tract; gall bladder; excretory ducts of some glands.
Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue
Bronchi; trachea; some portions of the uterus
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial Tissue
Linkage of muscles and bones
Fibrous Connective Tissue
Composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts.
Muscle Tissue
Fibers: striated, tubular and multi-nucleated. Usually attached to skeleton.
Skeletal Muscle
Fibers: non-striated, spindle-shaped and uninucleated. Usually covering wall of internal organs.
Smooth Muscle
Fibers: striated, branched and uninucleated. Only covering wall of the heart.
Cardiac Muscle
Found in the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities.
Nervous Tissue
Responsible for communication through electrical cignals.
Neurons
Supporting cells, maintaining the environment around neurons.
Glial
Specialized or modifications re-acquited by the cell after the cell division the helps the cell in different beneficial ways.
Cell Modification
Cell modification found in the apical surface of the cell.
Apical Modification
Hairy-like structures that more in waves.
Cilia
Long whiplike structures, formed from microtubules.
Flagella
Finger-like projections that arise drom the cell’s surface that also increase some organs.
Villi
Temporary, irregular lobes formed by amoebas and some other eukaryotes cells.
Pseudopods
Cell modification found on the basal surface of the cell.
Basal Modification
Stack of thylakoid
Granum
Disc-like structure
Thylakoid
NADPH
Nicotinamide Adenosine Dinucleotide Phosphate
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
ADP
Adenosine Diphosphate
Acts as the barriers that regulate the movement of water and solutes between epithelial layers.
Tight Junction
Anchoring junction on the lateral surface of the cell. Fasten cells to one another.
Adhering Junction
Also known as communicating junctions. Closable channels that connects the cytoplasm of adjoining animal cell.
Gap Junction
