Vertebrates Flashcards
What are the four types of primary tissues?
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
What are organs made up of?
2 or more types of tissues working together for a specific tissue
What are the 11 organ systems?
integumentary
skeletal
muscular
nervous
endocrine
cardiovascular
lymphatic
respiratory
digestive
urinary
reproductive
integumentary system role
separates and protects internal organs from the environment
skeletal system role (3)
supports and give structure,
provides protection
acts as a medium for muscles to work on
Muscular system role (2)
movement
object manipulation
digestive system role
breaks down food into nutriens and absorbs
respiratory system role
enables gas exchange
lymphatic system role (2)
immune response
fluid homeostasis
urogenital system
transfers sperm and urine
reproductive system
produces sperm and eggs
nervous system
sends information throughout the body
endocrine system (3)
growth and development
metabolism
maturation of sexual function
cardiovascular system
transports blood and nutrients
What is histology?
study of tissue
What is stained (3)
cell membrane
cellular content
nuclei
5 characteristics of epithelial tissue
show polarity
held together by tight junctions or desmosomes
sit on top of connective tissue
have connections to nerve cells, but not blood vessels
high capacity for regeneration
Polarity of tissues
apical side that is exposed
basal surface secreting an adhesive called basal lamina
What do connective tissue secrete, and what does it form?
fibrous reticular laminar under the epithelium to form a basement membrane
How do epithelial tissues get nutrients?
diffusion
How are cells and tissues distinguished?
staining using biological dyes that bind to particular chemical compounds
How do epithelial cells reproduce quickly>
access to sufficient nutrients
What are single and layered cells called?
single- simple
layered- stratified
What are the three shapes of apical cells?
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
3 characteristics of connective tissue
begin embryonically as mesenchyme
vary in amount of blood supply
have extracellular matrix
