Tissues
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the definition of a tissue? | A collection of specialized cells that perform a specific function. |
| In what type of epithelium are goblet cells located? | Simple Columnar. |
| What structures are found on the apical surface of most digestive cell epithelial? | Microvilli and Cilia. |
| What happens to the epithelial cell shape as your bladder fills and stretches out? | The 6 layers stretch to 3 and elongate. |
| What type of epithelium gives the most protection and why? | Stratified Squamous because it has multiple, thick layers. |
| What type of epithelium has the most absorptive ability and why? | ? |
| Why does your skin peel off in sheets after a sunburn? | ? |
| What are the characteristics of all epithelial tissue? | Attachment – closely packed, cell junctions Avascular – no blood vessels within tissue Innervated – supplied by nerve fibers Regeneration – high capability, rapid |
| What is the function of epithelial tissue? | protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, sensory |
| What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? (Endocrine glands.) | -Secrete hormones – regulatory chemicals -Ductless -Secretions enter blood & travel to target organs |
| What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? (Exocrine glands.) | -Secrete fluids onto body surfaces or into body cavities -Ducts -Two kinds: Unicellular – Goblet cells produce & secrete mucus by exocytosis Multicellular – epithelium derived duct 3 types of secretions: -Merocrine -Apocrine -Holocrine |
| Explain how merocrine glands secrete their products. What part of the cell, if any, will the secretions have? | -Fluid held in secretory vesicles -Exocytosis pushes fluid out -Secretion only has the fluid itself |
| Explain how apocrine glands secrete their products. What part of the cell, if any, will the secretions have? | -Secretory vesicles in top half break off -Fluid will have membrane in it |
| Explain how holocrine glands secrete their products. What part of the cell, if any, will the secretions have? | -Secretions accumulate until cell ruptures -Fluid contains the whole cell including nucleus |
| Give an example of a merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine gland. | Merocrine- Sweat glands, salivary glands, pancreas. Apocrine- Mammary gland lipids. Holocrine- Sebaceous (oil) gland of skin. |
| What are the characteristics of all connective tissue? | ? |
| What are the functions of all connective tissue? | -Connects and hold organs in place -Fills up body spaces -Provides route for movement through body – blood vessels & nerves pass through -Keeps organs separated and organized -Protects and insulates organs |
| What is the ground substance, fiber, and cells in blood? | Ground substance: Plasma Fibers: proteins for clotting Cells: Red blood cells, lymphocytes (WBC), platelets |
| What type of connective tissue is the following: tendon, external ear, blood? | -Dense Connective Tissue – Dense Regular -Supporting Connective Tissue: Cartilage - ELASTIC -Fluid Connective Tissue |
| What is the difference between tendons and ligaments? | Tendons-connects bone to muscle Ligaments-connects bone to bone |
| Why is losing too much adipose tissue not good? Give a specific example of what can happen. | ? |
| Why does cartilage heal slowly compared to other types of connective tissue? | Because it does not have a direct blood supply (it does not have blood vessels.) |
| What connective tissue fiber has the greatest strength? | ? |
| What are the functions of areolar and adipose connective tissue? | Areolar-wraps and cushions organs; holds and conveys tissue fluid Adipose-insulates & cushions; supports organs; reserve energy supply |
| What are the characteristics of muscle tissue? | -Highly cellular -Well vascularized -Responsible for body movements -Contain MYOFILAMENTS (actin & myosin proteins) |
| Where would you find skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle tissues? | Skeletal- Bones Cardiac- Walls of heart Smooth Muscle- Walls of hollow organs – digestive, urinary, blood vessels, uterus |
| What type of neural control-voluntary or involuntary-do smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle have? | Smooth- involuntary Skeletal- voluntary Cardiac- involuntary |
| What are myofilaments and what are they composed of? | The ultramicroscopic threads of filamentous proteins making up myofibrils in striated muscle. They are composed of actin and myosin proteins. |
| What are the functios of neuroglial cells? | brings nutrients, protects & supports |
| What type of tissue is unable to replace itself after damage? | Skeletal muscle tissue & full nerves. |
| What is the first step in tissue repair? | Surface epithelium regenerates under scab. |
| What happens when inflammation occurs? | ? |
| Describe the 4 signs of inflammation in the correct order. | Redness: blood vessels dilate Swelling: tissues fill with WBC Heat: pyrogen proteins warm area Pain: nerve fibers are stretched out |
| What do mast cells produce? | Histamine and Heparin. |
