Tissues Quiz 1 Flashcards
1
Q
epithelial
A
- closely packed cells
- covers internal and external surfaces
- forms most glands
- anchored by basement membrane to underlying connective tissue
- lack blood vessels- diffusion through basement membrane
- surface specialization- microvilli or cilia
- regeneration- epidermis replacement
2
Q
connective
A
- widely spaced cells with extracellular material/space
- support and bind together other tissues
- connected to epithelial tissue
- widely separated cells with extracellular matrix
- rich blood supply (except cartilage)
- function to provide support and connection
- four components: cells, fluid (water), fibers, “ground substance”
- 4 types of connective tissue
3
Q
muscle tissue
A
-elongated cells capable of contraction
4
Q
nervous tissue
A
- neurons capable conducting electrical impulses
- associated support cells
5
Q
epithelial tissue classification
A
- squamous- flat disc, apical
- cuboidal- cube (as tall as it is wide)
- columnar- tall
- simple- one layer
- stratified- multiple layers
6
Q
apical surface
A
surface
7
Q
pseudostratified columnar
A
- nuclei are on different levels
- appears stratified but its not
8
Q
goblet cells
A
-secrete mucus
9
Q
transitional epithelium
A
- goes from one shape to another
- stretches and bounces back
- ex. urinary bladder
10
Q
gland
A
- functional group of cells whose main function is secretion
- develop by invagination of epithelium into underlying tissue
- two basic types of epithelial gland:
- exocrine- presence of a duct
- endocrine- absence of a duct -> moves through the tissue without the need for a duct
11
Q
exocrine glands
A
- merocrine- salivary glands
- apocrine- mammary gland
- holocrine
12
Q
merocrine gland
A
- exocrine
- vesicle exocytosis
- cells produce the substance
- substance is collected within vesicles
- vesicles are exocytosed from the cell into the central duct of the gland
- ex. salivary glands
13
Q
apocrine
A
- all the substance pools within the cell proper at the apical surface
- apical surface is pinched off
- sent through the ducts
- does not destroy the cell (can keep going)
- ex. mammary gland
14
Q
holocrine
A
- cells reproduce
- disintegrating cells with contents becoming the secretion
- disintegrates and becomes the secretion
- ex. sebaceous glands
15
Q
eccrine glands
A
type of merocrine gland
16
Q
components of connective tissue
A
- elastic fibers
- collagen fibers
- reticular fibers
- you can swee adipocytes, mesenchymal cells
- ground substance is between the cells
17
Q
collagenous fibers
A
- major type composed of protein collagen
- like string (tough and flexible but inelastic)
- in connective tissue
18
Q
elastic fiber
A
- thinner than collagenous
- composed of protein elastin
- like rubber band (stretch and recoil)
- in connective tissue
19
Q
reticular fiber
A
- thin single strand of collagenous fibers
- forms a fine meshwork
- in connective tissue
20
Q
ground substance
A
- the nonliving material that cells and proteins are found within
- liquid- blood plasma
- semisolid- loose connective tissue
- solid- bone and cartilage
21
Q
4 types of connective tissue
A
- connective tissue proper
- cartilage
- bone
- blood
22
Q
connective tissue proper
A
- loose: areolar, adipose, reticular
- dense (collagenous): regular, irregular, elastic
23
Q
dense connective tissue proper
A
-more fiber than ground substance
