Tissues

QuestionAnswer
All epithelial sheets are attached to underlying connective tissue via the basement membrane – a thin extracellular layer Attached via _______ Hemidesmosomes
2 parts of Basement membrane. 1- ______ is made of a thin layer of collagen fibers, laminin, glycoproteins and proteoglycans. Is secreted by epithelial tissue. 2. _____ - thin layer of collagen fibers, lies closer to and is secreted by connective tissue. 1. Basal lamina 2. Reticular lamina
Specialized contacts Epithelial cells uses to fit closer together to form continuous sheets (excluding glandular tissue). (A-E) A:Tight Junctions B: Adheren junctions C: Desmosomes D: Hemidesmosomes E: Gap Junctions
________ - Strands of transmembrane proteins that bind the outer membranes together preventing the passage of molecules between adjacent cells. Found in cells lining stomach, intestines and bladder to prevent contents from the blood or interstitum Tight Junctions
_______ - Fluid filled tunnels that connect adjacent cells through connexons – fluid filled tunnels Allows for communication and fast spreading of nerve and muscle impulses for fast travel between cells Gap Junctions
dense layer of proteins on the inside of the plasma membrane that attaches to both membrane proteins and to the cytoskeleton Plaques
transmembrane glycoproteins that insert into the plaque in the cell membrane and extend into the intercellular space to another cadherin from an adjacent cell Cadherins
Bind cells by using plaques and cadherins to form adhesive belts that completely encircle a cell Plaques are attached to microfilaments Aid in resisting separation during contractile activities Adherens
Similar to adherens; however, the plaques bind to intermediate cytoskeletal filaments which attach to a plaque on the opposite side of the cell Contributes to stability of cell and resists tension Desmosomes
Similar to desmosomes but uses integrins instead of cadherins Used to anchor the epithelium to the underlying connective tissue Hemidesmosomes
All _______ tissues are AVASCULAR They LACK a blood supply Depend on the underlying CT for nutrients Epithelial
_________ tissues are INNERVATED. They are supplied by nerve fibers. If not, you wouldn't be able to feel pain. Epithelial
REGENERATION: continue to regenerate throughout life under normal conditions; ie. Epithelial cells of the skin Labile cells
REGENERATION: stop regeneration after puberty unless injury or surgery ie. Kidney or liver cells Stabile cells
REGENERATION: cease to regenerate after birth; ie. Nerve cells and muscle cells Permanent cells
Shape: Flat; scale-like cells Squamous
Shape: cube-like cells Cuboidal
Shape: tall cylindrical cells Columnar
Shape: Transitional - change shape from cuboidal to squamous under stretching; ie. Urinary Bladder Transitional
Number of layers: 1 layer. Function in absorption, secretion and filtration Simple
Number of layers: 2 or more layers. Function in protection Stratified
Tissue Type: Found lining blood vessels, Air sacs Simple Squamous
Tissue Type: Superficial layer of skin; insides of mouth Stratified Squamous
Tissue Type: Lines the urinary tract: bladder, ureters and urethra Transitional
Tissue Type: Found lining ducts of glands Simple Cuboidal
Tissue Type: Found in ducts of sweat glands Stratified Cuboidal
Tissue Type: Found lining upper respiratory tract Psuedostratified
Tissue Type: found lining the GI tract Simple Columnar
Tissue type: Very rare, lines large ducts of some glands and parts of the urethra Stratified Columnar
Where is mesothelium located? Lining body cavities
_____: One or more cells that make and secrete/export a production (secretion) Gland
Classification of glands dependent on where the product is released Endocrine / Exocrine
Classification of glands dependent on number of cells making up the gland Unicellular / multicellular
________ Glands are ductless glands that produce and secrete hormones directly ionto the extracellular space and/or blood stream. (Internal Secretions) Endocrine Glands. EX - Pituitary gland , pancreas, ovaries/testes, thyroid, hypothalamus. Secrete: modified amino acids and steroids
______ glands secrete products directly into ducts: External Secretions. Secrete products directly onto skin or into body cavities or lumens of hollow organs. Can be unicellular or multicellular Exocrine glands
____ glands secrete mucous Mucous glands
_____ glands secrete oil Sebaceous glands
_____ glands secrete sweat Sweat glands
______ glands secrete saliva Salivary glands
______ secretes digestive enzymes Pancreas
_____ secretes bile Liver
Multicellular Exocrine glands are composed of two parts: Acinus (secretory portion) / duct
______ is supplied by supporting connective tissue that extends into the gland creating lobes. Acinus
Classification of Exocrine Glands by duct: Simple: un-branched duct, Compound: Branched duct
Classification of Exocrine Glands by acinus: Tubular: forms tubes, Alveolar/ acinar: small sacs, Tubuloalveaolar: both tubes and sacs
Mode of Secretion: _______ Glands - Secrete products via exocytosis as they are produced Merocrine glands. EX: sweat and salivary glands
Mode of Secretion: _____ Glands - Accumulate their products until they rupture. Holocrine Glands. EX: Sebaceous glands
Mode of Secretion: ____ Glands - Accumulate their products at apical cell which pinches off. Apocrine Glands. EX: Mammary glands
Most abundant and wide-spread tissues in teh body Connective tissue
Functions of Connective Tissue Binds, supports and stregthens other tissues. Protects and insulates organs. Compartmentalizes skeletal muscles. Stores energy. Major Transport System.
________ cells give rise to the cells of the Connective Tissue. Mesenchymal cells
__________ cells: immature cells taht can divide and also excrete extracellular matrix for that specific tissue Blast cells
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Fibroblasts loose and dense CT
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Chrondroblasts Cartilages
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Osteoblasts Bone
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Macrophages Immune cells that wander through the connective tissue to engulf foreign material
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Plasma Cells Immune cells that secrete antibodies and proteins
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Mast cells Produce histamine that dilates blood vessels during the inflammatory response
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Adipocytes Store fat
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Leukocytes (white blood cells) Found within blood and can gather around teh site of an infection
Types of cells found within connective tissue: Erythrocytes (red blood cells) Found within blood
Characteristics of Connective tissue: ____ Fibers add strength and support. Very strong and resist pulling forces. Often occur in parallel bunches, made up of collagen proteins, found in most types of connective tissue. Collagen Fibers
Characteristics of Connective Tissue: _____ Fibers - smaller branched fibers that form networks, made up of elastin protein and a glycoprotein fibrillin. Can be stretched 150% of its relaxed length. Found in skin, blood vessel walls, lung tissue. Elastic fibers
Characteristics of Connective Tissue: _____ fibers - smaller collagen fibers arranged in fine, branched bundles. Provide support in the walls of blood vessels and underlying organs. Recticular fibers
