Q

Functions of the plasma membrane?

A

Mechanical barrier: Separates two of the body’s fluid compartments.

  • Selective permeability: Determines manner in which substances enter or exit the cell.
  • Electrochemical gradient: Generates and helps to maintain the electrochemical gradient required for muscle and neuron function.
  • Communication: Allows cell-to-cell recognition (e.g., of egg by sperm) and interaction.
  • Cell signaling: Plasma membrane proteins interact with specific chemical messengers and relay messages to the cell interior.

Q

What is a hypotonic solution?

A

Hypotonic solutions are more dilute (contain a lower concen- tration of nonpenetrating solutes) than cells. Cells placed in a hypotonic solution plump up rapidly as water rushes into them (Figure 3.9c). Distilled water represents the most extreme example of hypotonicity. Because it contains no solutes, water continues to enter cells until they finally burst, or lyse.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis - Selective endocytosis and transcytosis. External substance binds to membrane receptors. Means of intake of some hormones, cholesterol, iron, and most macromolecules

Close connection to nervous system

Q

Muscle tissue classifications

A

Classification
smooth
Striated
Cardiac

122
Q

Skeletal muscle description, function and location

A

Skeletal muscle: long, cyndrical, multinucleate cells; obvious striations
Function: Voluntary movement; locomotion; manipulation of the environment; facial expression; voluntary control.
location:In skeletal muscles attached to bones or occasionally to skin.

123
Q

Cardiac muscle description, function and location

A

Branching, striated, generally uninucleate cells that interdigitate at specialized junctions (intercalated discs).
Function: As it contracts, it propels blood into the circulation; involuntary control.
Location: walls of the heart.
…
Each muscle cell has one nucleus.

124
Q

Smooth muscle description, function and location

A

Spindle-shaped (elongated) cells with central nuclei; no striations; cells arranged closely to form sheets.
Function: Propels substances or objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) along internal passageways; involuntary control.
Location:Mostly in the walls of hollow organs.

Cells much looser, involuntary

125
Q

Nervous tissue characteristics

A

responds to stimuli
Major regulator of homeostasis and body functions
Transmits electrical impulses

126
Q

Nervous tissue classifications

A 
nerve cells
Supporting cells (glia)
127
Q

Nervous tissue description

A

Neurons are branching cells; cell processes that may be quite long extend from the nucleus-containing cell body; also contributing to nervous tissue are nonexcitable supporting cells.

Neuron has…
Axon, Dendrites, Cell body

128
Q

Nervous tissue function and location

A

Function: Neurons transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors and to effectors (muscles and glands); supporting cells support and protect neurons.
Location: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

129
Q

What are the different tissue adaptations

A

Atrophy= decreased cell size,
Hypertrophy= increased cell size
Hyperplasia= increased cell number
Meta/ dysplasia= change cell type

130
Q

Tissue repair stages

A

First stage acute inflammation which forms basis of tissue repair
Then organisation restores the blood supply
Then maturation /regeneration and fibrosis effect permanent repair

131
Q

Where do the tissues develop from

A

Epithelial comes from all layers
Muscle and connective tissue mainly comes from mesoderm
Nervous comes from ectoderm
Inner lining of digestive endoderm

132
Q

_______are important and common unicellular exocrine glands.

A

Goblet cells

133
Q

Where do exocrine glands secrete substances

A

All exocrine glands secrete their products onto body surfaces (skin) or into body cavities.

134
Q

Where are simple squamous cells found a.

A

Simple squamous cells line walls of the air sacs of the lungs and blood vessels.

…kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, heart linings, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels: serosae…

135
Q

Where is stratified cubodial cell’s found?

A

Stratified cuboidal epithelium is quite rare in the body, mostly found in the ducts of some of the larger glands (sweat glands, mammary glands). It typically has two layers of cuboidal cells.

136
Q

What type of epithelial cells line digestive tract

A

Simple columnar

137
Q

Where is stratified cubodial tissue found?

A

Mostly found in the ducts of some larger glands ( sweat glands, mammary glands)

138
Q

Where is pseudo stratified columnar epithelial found?

A

Upper respiratory tract

139
Q

What epithelial tissue is in epidermis?

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

140
Q

Where does simple columnar epithelial line

A

Walls of small ducts of glands and kidney tubules

141
Q

Simple cubodial tissue function

A

Secretion and absorption as they are located at kidney tubules and secretory portions of small glands and also ovary surface
