Tissues

QuestionAnswer
The study of tissues Histology
Groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common or related function Tissues
cover, line, and protect the body and its internal organs Epithelial tissue
Function in protection, filtration Epithelial tissue
Function in absorption, excretion Epithelial tissue
Function in secretion (glandular epithelial) Epithelial tissue
Function sensory reception Epithelial tissue
Tightly packed Epithelial tissue
Avascular(no blood vessels) Epithelial tissue
Free surface Epithelial tissue
Basement membrane Epithelial tissue
Classified cell shaped, squamous, cuboidal, columbarium Epithelial tissue
Cell layering simple, stratified Epithelial tissue
Sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity Epithelial tissue
Consist of single cell layer, found absorption, secretion, filtration, thin barrier Simple epithelial
Two or more layers stacked on top of each other, high abrasion areas, lining of the mouth Stratified epithelial
Flattened and scale like Squamous
Boxlike, tall and wide Cuboidal
Tall and column shaped Columnar
Fills internal spaces Connective
Provides structural support for other tissues Connective
Transport material tissue Connectivr
Stores energy Connective
Insulates Connective
Few cells Connective
extracellar matrix Connective
Vascularized Connective
Most are mitotic Connective
Contracts to provide movement Muscle
Protein filaments Muscle
High energy demand Muscle
Skeletal Voluntary, muscle(strict nerve control)
Cardiac Involuntarily, muscle
Smooth Involuntarily, muscle
Conducts nervous impulses Nervous
Skin, stratified squamous epethilium firmly attached to thick layer of connective tissues Body membrane, cutaneous
Lines body cavities that are open to the exterior, digestive, respiratory, wet Body membrane, mucous
Lines body cavity closed to the exterior, simple squamous epithelium resting on thin layer of loose connective tissue Body membrane, serous
Synovial and meninges are types of Body membranes
Defensive response to tissue damage intented to recruit immune system Inflammation
Symptoms of inflammation Temp, redness, swelling and pain
Acute response of inflammation Bacteria invade tissues, damage releases histamine, causes vasodilation and chemo taxis
Blood clots and scabs form Inflammation
Phagocytes enter area and engulf bacteria Inflammation
Cells proliferate to repair damage Inflammation
Epithelial get thinner Effects of aging
Connective tissue becomes fragile Effects of aging
Bone brittle Effects of agining
Cumulative damage to cardiac and neural tissues Effects of agining
Carcinoma type of cancer Epithelial
Sarcoma cancer Connective
Leukemia Blood
Glioma Nervous
All organisms are composed of one or more cells Cell theory
Cells are the smallest living units of all living organisms Cell theory
Cells arise only by division of a previous existing cell Cell theory
Theodor Schwann 1839, proposed the cell theory Cell theory
Before nucleus, p or e Prokaryotes
True nucleus, p or e Eukaryotes
Bacteria and archaea p or e Prokaryotes
Protests, fungi, plants, animals Eukaroytes
Structurally more complex p or e Eukaryotes
Structurally simple Prokaryotes
Kidney glo, airsac of the lungs Simple squamous epithelial
Kidney tubules, ovary Simple cuboidal epithelium
Digestive tract, uterus Simple columnar epithelial
Esophagus, mouth, vagina epidermis skin Stratified squamous epithelial
Uterers, bladder, part of urethane Transitional epithelium
Male sperm Pseudo stratified columnar
Highly specialized nerve cells that generate and conduct nerve impulses Neurons, neuroglia
Function to cover Body membrane
Function to protect Body membrane
Function to reduce friction Body membrane
Body membrane is a collection of Epithelial and connective tissues
are most concerned with absorption, secretion, and filtration, very thin, protection is not their specialties simple epithelia
fashions the glands of the body glandular epithelium
forms the outer layer of the skin, dips into the open cavities of the urogenital, digestive, and respiratory systems; convers the walls and organs of the closed ventral body cavity covering and lining epithelium
the simplest of the epithelia simple squamous
allows material to pass by diffusion and filtration, located in kidneys glomuri, air sacs of lungs, line ventral body cavity simple squamous epithelium
function to secrete and absorb, simple, kidney tubules, ducts and secretory simple cuboidal epithelium
function absorption, secretion of mucous, enzymes, ciliary function, digestive tract gallbladders, bronchi, uterine tubes, uterus simple columnar epithelium
single layer of cells with different heights, mucus cilia, secretes substances particularly mucous by ciliary action, male sperm ducts, trachea pseudostratified columnar epithelium
thick membrane composed of several layers, keratin, protect underlying tissues abrasion, keratin epidermis of the skin stratified squamous
looks like stratified and squamous cuboidal, stretches, urine, ureters, bladder, part of uretha transitional epithelial
a sticky, thick fluid secreted by mucous glands and mucous membranes, keeps the free surface of membranes moist mucous
is the skin,, organ system that consist of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis) attached to thick layer of connective tissue (dermis) cutaneous membrane
membrane exposed to the air and dry temperature cutaneous membrane
membrane lines all body cavities that open to the outside of the body such as hollow organs of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, mucous membrane
lines joints cavities and consist of connective tissue only, articulating bones are separated by fluid containing joint cavity synovial
moist membranes found in closed ventral body, consist of simple squamous epithelium on a thin layer of loose connective tissue serous membrane
the most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues, but its amount in particular varies connective tissue
four main classes of connective tissue blood, bone, cartiliage, and connective tissue proper
binding and support connective
protection and insulates, connective
storing reserve fuel and transport substances connective
womb, nonliving separates living cells extracellular matrix
areolar, apidose, and reticular loose connective tissue
dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic dense connective tissue
areolar connective tissue modified to store nutrients, a connective tissue consisting of fat cells adipose tissue
types of bone tissues compact and spongy
highly cellular, well-vascularized tissues that are responsible for most types of body movement. muscle tissues
found in only the walls of the heart, contractions help propel through the blood vessels to all parts of the body cardiac muscle
long, cylindrical, multinucleate, cells skeletal
move by locomotion manipulation of the environment, facial expression skeletal
attached to bones or occasionally to skin skeletal
contract to pull on bones of skin call movement skeletal
branching, striated, uninucleate cells, (intercalated discs) cardiac
as it contracts it propels blood into the circulation cardiac
spindle-shaped cells with central nuclei, no striations, cells arranged closely to form sheets smooth muscle
propels substances or objects along internal passageways smooth muscle
mostly in the walls of hollow organs smooth muscle
highly specialized that generate and conduct nerve impulses nervous tissue
respond to stimuli nervous tissue
transmit electrical impulses over substantial distances within the body(via axons) nervous tissue
supporting cells are non conducting cells that support, insulate, and protect delicate neurons nervous tissue
brain, spinal cord, nerves nervous tissue
modified apocrine glands found in lining of ear canals.secretion mixes with sebum to produce and form sticky earwax that deter insects and block entry ceruminous gland
are simple branched aveolar glands that are found all over the body except in the thick skin of the palms and soles. sebaceous glands(oil)
distributed all over the skin except the nipples and parts of the external genitalia. sudoriferous glands
are far numerous found on the palms, soles of feet, and forehead.(secreting), cold sweat, little control eccrine sweat glands
puberty male sex hormones, nerve fiber stress, sexual foreplay approcrine glands
the less numerous type of sweat gland, produces a secretion containing water, salts, proteins, fatty acids apocrine gland
