week 3 - tissues/ integumentary Flashcards
Tissues
made up of cells and other
components that have a similar function.
Different tissues will be combined to form
ORGANS
Histology
study of tissues
4 basic types of tissues in body
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Neural
Epithelial tissue
• Provide physical protection
• Control permeability (passage of
substances including absorption and
filtration)
• Produce specialized secretions
Epithelial cells
squamous, cubical, columnar/// simple stratified
Glands
produce secrentions//endocrine glands and exocrine glands
endocrine glands
(secrete hormones into interstitial
fluid so they can enter blood and travel to cells
exocrine glands
(secretions into ducts that open onto
epithelial surface)
Connective tissues
support and connect other tissues
• Many have blood vessels and sensory receptors
epithelial tissue is found
skin
three basic components to connective tissue
1-specialized cells
2-Extracellular proteine fibers
3-fluid
Matrix
forms complexes with proteins producing proteoglycans
types of connective tissues
cartilage and bone
Muscle tissue types
skeletal
smooth
cardiac
cardiac
Heart
move blood and maintain blood pressure
smooth
all throughout body(organs +blood vessels)
moves food, urine and reproductive secretions
control diameter of respiratory passageways
skeletal
found in skeleton
moves skeleton
guard and protect organs
nervous tissues cells
neurons
nueroglia
neuron
brain+spinal cord
Sends electrical signals
neuroglia
Brain+spinal cord
support protect and nourish neurons
fluid connective tissues
blood (rbc,wbc platelets) and lymph
muscle tissue functions
all revolve around movement
integumentary system
Body first line of defense against environment
maintain body temperature(sweat)
detection of sensory information
produces keratin and melanin
Layers of skin
Epidermis
Dermis
Accessory structure of integumentary system
Hair
Sweat gland
Sensory receprots
sebaceous gland
arrector pilli muscle
Layers of dermis
Stratum Corneum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum spinosum
Stratum basale
