Tissues Chapter 4 Flashcards
tissues
various grouping of cells
tissues differ..
from each other in the size and shape of their cells
what are the four major different types of tissues
Epithelial tissue,Connective tissue,Muscle tissue,Nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue
Forms sheets that cover or line the body
connective tissue
Provides structural and functional support
Muscle tissue
Contracts to produce movement
Nervous tissue
Senses, conducts, and processes information
Homeostasis
The relative constancy of the internal fluid environment.
what is matrix
is like jelly, made up of mostly water with various interlocking fibers.
matrix is also called
the extracellular matrix (ECM)
Squamous:
Flat and scalelike
Cuboidal:
cubed-shaped
Columnar:
Higher than they are wide
Transitional:
Varying shapes that can stretch
how do you classify Epithelial Tissue as a shape
Squamous, Cuboidal ,Columnar, Transitional
how do you classify Epithelial Tissue as cell arragement
simple and Stratified
Simple epithelial tissue
is a single layer of cells with the same shape.
Stratified epithelial tissue
are many layers of cells.
Simple squamous epithelium consists of
a single layer of very thin and irregularly shaped cells.
Simple cuboidal epithelium is a
single layers of cells that are, on average, about as high as they are wide.
Stratified squamous epithelium consists of
several layers of closely packed cells.
stratified squamous epithelial tissue protects
the body against invasion by microorganisms.
Pseudostratified epithelium is
made up of cells that reach the basement membrane and appear to be stratified because their nuclei are at different levels.
Transitional Epithelium
lines the organs of the urinary system and is known here as urothelium.
