UNIT 2cEXAM Flashcards
Histolgy
Study of tissues
Tissue
Group of cells
Types of cell connections
Tight Junction
Gap Junction
DESMISOME
HEMIDESMOSOME
Tight junction
Use interlocking membrane proteins
Gap Junction
Use interlocking membrane proteins are also channels
allow cells to communicate°
Desmisome
Use membrane proteins that are attached to the cytoskeleton
goes through cell membrane
welded together*
Hemidesmosome
Attach the cell to a foundation or base =BASEMENT Membrane
the cell is anchored in place {stationary)
Epithelial tissue
Line spaces in the body
covers the body and forms glands of the body
Epithelial tissue characteristics
Lots of cells tightly packed together
always has one side exposed
cells are highly mitotic
cells exhibit polarity
attached to basement membrane
cells form layers / sheets
all epithelial is avascular= no blood vessels
Criteria used to classify Epithelium
Shape of the cell
cell arrangement
Types of epithelium
Simple squamous
stratified squamous
simple cuboidal
stratified cuboidal
simple columnar
stratified columnar
transitional
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
simple squamous definition
Single layer of flat cells
simple squamous location
Blood vessels
kidneys
alveoli
covers organs and lines the ventral body cavity
simple squamous function
Permeability and secretion
stratified squamous definition
It’s nice to have some multiple layers of flat cells
stratified squamous location
Urethra
vagina
mouth
esophagus
anus
nose
epidermis
direct contact with outside
stratified squamous function
Protection
simple cuboidal definition
Single layer of square cells
simple cuboidal location
thyroid gland
kidneys
simple cuboidal function
Absorption
secretion
stratified cuboidal definition
Many layers of square cells
rare***
stratified cuboidal location
Ducts of glands
stratified cuboidal function
Protection
transitional defintion
Multiple layers of square cells that can change their shape
transitional location
Uterus
bladder
transitional function
Stretch and recoil
simple columnar locations
Fallopian tubes
stomach
small intestine
large intestine
simple columnar description
Single layer of tall cells
simple columnar function
Absorption
secretion
protection
stratified columnar function
Protection
stratified columnar definition
Multiple layers of tall cells
rare**
stratified columnar location
Ducts of some glands
psuedostratified cilated columnar (PSCC) definition
Single layer of tall cells that appear multi-layered with Cilia and usually goblet cells
psuedostratified cilated columnar (PSCC) location
Nasal cavity
trachea
bronchi
psuedostratified cilated columnar (PSCC) function
Secretion
protection
Glandular epithelium
description and function
Type of epithelium that forms the glands
secretes
Types of epithelial glands
Endocrine
exocrine
Endocrine gland
Doesn’t have a duct
releases secretions into the blood
Exocrine gland
Has a duct
releases secretion onto a epithelial surface
How are exocrine glands classified?
Type of secretion
mode of secretion
structure of the gland
Types of secretions:
Serous
mucus
mixed
Modes of secretion:
Merocrine
apocrine
holocrine
serous secretion
Watery secretion
ex. Saliva
mucous secretion
Viscous secretion
ex. Earwax
mixed- secretion
Watery and viscous
ex. Breast milk
merocrine secretion
Via exocytosis
ex.sweat glands
holocrine secretion
Cell fills with secretory vesicles and ruptures (lysis)
everything releases
apocrine secretion
1.Top half of the cells fills with secretory vesicles
2.top half breaks off and regenerates new top half
3.and repeats
Structures of exocrine glands
Unicellular
multicellular
unicellular
a single cell
multicellular
Multiple cells
types of multicellular
Simple- unbranched duct
Compound- branched duct
connective tissue
Supports, binds, and connects or separates
other tissues and or organs
characteristics of connective tissue
Not exposed
cells are spaced apart
area between the cells is filled with Matrix
variety of cells
Vascular (except cartilage)
matrix is composed of
Ground substance and protein fibers
ground substance
H2O- liquid
hyaluronic acid- slimy
chondroitin sulfate- rubbery
mineral salts- solid
protein fibers
Collagen -strong and flexible (thick)
elastic- stretch and recoil
reticular- provide physical support (thin)
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of chondroitin sulfate?
Rubbery ground substance
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of collagen fibers?
Strung and flexible
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of hyaluronic acid?
Slimey ground substance
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of reticular fibers?
Has good physical support
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of mineral salts?
solid ground substance
What do you know about connective tissue if it has a lot of elastic fibers?
Stretches and recoils
