AIMC Anatomy and Physiology 1: Cells & Tissues

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Primary Tissues   Epithelial (Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, simple, stratified)Connective (Squamous, Cuboidal, columnar, simple, stratified)Muscle (cardiac, skeletal, smooth)Nerve (neurons, supporting cells)  
🗑
Cell Theory   Complex multicellular organisms, groups of cells have differentiated in special ways to form tissues, organs and systems.  
🗑
Tissue   Groups of similar cells w/ similar function-epithelial (covering), connective (support/transport), muscle, nervous (control)  
🗑
Tissues are generated by which embryonic tissues?   Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm  
🗑
Muscle types   smooth - involuntary, cardiac-uni/binucleate, branched, striated, involuntary, only in heartskeletal-multinucleate, unbranched, striated  
🗑
How are muscles different?   distribution in the body, striated, number of nuclei in the cell, whether cells are branched or unbranched, voluntary or involuntary  
🗑
Skeletal   striated, voluntary. multinucleate, unbranched,  
🗑
cardiac   striated, involuntary, only in heart. uni/binucleate, branched,  
🗑
Smooth Muscle   Viceral, non striated and involuntary . Can also occurs at body periphery in eyes and skin. Cells are uninucleate, unbranched, and smooth (not striated). Involuntary  
🗑
Connective Tissue (general)   Provides body with structural building blocks, defense/immune cells, spaced apart, embedded in a matrix  
🗑
Nerve Tissue (General)   Neurons transmit signals. supporting cells support neuronal function in a few ways: physical, chemical, nutritional support, some supporting cells increase the speed of nerve signal transmission, some act as immune cells defending the brain and spine ag.  
🗑
Functions of Connective Tissue   Bind and support, protect (defensive cells of the immune system), insulation, transport and store substances  
🗑
Characteristics of Connective tissue   all derived from mesenchime, varying degrees of vascularity, extracellular matrix (there may be a lot of space bet cells)  
🗑
Connective tissue composition   Ground Substance, Fibers, Cells. Cells=living portion. GS and fibers occur between cells = extracellular matrix  
🗑
Ground substance   Unstructured material that fills the space bet. the cells and contains the fibers. Contains GAGs  
🗑
GAGs   Contain many acid sugar molecules, get entangled in each other and trap water, varying fluidity, fx like sponges. Examples: Chondroitan sulfate, Keratan sulfate and HA  
🗑
Fibers   Provide support. Collagen (strong and provide consistency and support for the tissues - they bind cells together) and Elastic (resiliant and stretchable found where additional elasticity is required i.e. in skin, blood vessels and lungs)  
🗑
Cells   Living portion of Connective tissue. Immature = blast "bud/forming" & secretes extracellular matrix, Mature = cyte "cell", Destructive = clast "to break"  
🗑
Connective Tissue Proper   Includes Loose and Dense connective tissue  
🗑
Loose Connective Tissue   Areolar and Adipose  
🗑
Areolar Connective Tissue   Gel like structure with 3 fiber types, widely distributed under epithelia, packages organs/capilaries, GS is semi fluid/gelatinous (HA), fluid resovior  
🗑
Apipose Connective Tissue   Gel like matrix w/ 3 fiber types. Many closely packed adipocytes (fat cells). Focuses on storing energy for future use  
🗑
Adipocytes   fat cells  
🗑
Dense Connective tissue   contains closely packed bundles of collagen, have few cells other than fibroblasts, poorly vascularized  
🗑
Dense Regular Connective tissue   collagen fibers are arranged in dense, parallel ways, few elastin fibers are present, i.e. tendons and ligaments  
🗑
Dense Irregular Connective tissue   major fiber is collagen, fibers randomly arranged, some elastin is present (resiliency), i.e. dermis of the skin and fiberous capules of organs and joints  
🗑
Cartilage (General)   Avascular, GS = collagen fibers and sometimes elastin. Developed by chondroblasts > maintained by chondrocytes. GS contains proteoglycans (large protein carb molecules and GAGs  
🗑
Glycosaminoglycans = GAGs.   protiens containing sugar molecules - charged polysaccharides. stick out from the protein core like bristles on bottlebrush. They intertwine, - charges attract and hold water, forming a fluid matrix w/ varied consistency. Sponge. ie. HA  
🗑
Cartilage Qualities   contains up to 80% water (due to GAGs i.e. HA and chondroitin), enables cartilage to rebound, most structures are covered by perichondrium & matrix is heavily invested with collagen fibers for strength and sometimes elastic fibers of resiliency  
🗑
Perichondrium   a dense irrecular connective tissue capsule, that surrounds most cartilage structures (i.e. like the bone is surrounded by a periosteum). Nutrients diffuse via perichondrium  
🗑
Fibroblasts   the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > connective tissue proper  
🗑
Chrondoblasts   the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > cartilage  
🗑
Osteoblasts   the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > bone  
🗑
Hemocytoblasts   the immature form of a cell that is responsible for secreting the particular extracellular matrix > blood  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
