unit 3 - tissues (epithelial) Flashcards
covers body surfaces
e
main glandular tissue: secretion
e
tightly packed
e
attached by non living/cellular basement membrane
e
a vascular (no blood)
e
cells reproduce fast
e
protect, secrete, absorb, excrete, sensory perception
e
parenchyma: preforms function
e
supports function
stroma (e)
outside
lumen (e)
separates lining
basement membrane
most abundant tissue
c
found in every system
c
bunds structures together
c
support, protection, framework, fills space stores fat, produces blood cells, fights infection, tissue repair
c
scattered cells
c
intercellular and extracellular (matrix)
c
good blood supply
c
cell production depends (quick to almost never)
c
prevents blood clots, promotes inflammation
mast cells (connective)
phagocytes, scavengers, eat
macrophages (connective)
• most abundant
• produces protein fibers
• wound healing
• anti aging/ skin tightening
fibroblasts (connective)
• strong
• kind of flexible
• not very elastic
• hair
collagenous fibers (connective)
• not as strong
• flexible/elastic
• vocal/ear drum
• less blood = slow healing
elastic fiber (connective)
• flexible and strong
• support and protection
• nose
cartilage (connective)
• covers ends of bones, joints
• most common
• elastic
hyline cartilage (connective)
• • more flexible and elastic
• external ear and lyrany (vocal chords)
elastic cartilage (connective)
• dense
• large amounts of collagenous fibers
• lots of pressure
• location: intervertebral disc and meniscus
• least flexible
• toughest
fibrocartilage (connective)
