Ch. 4 - Tissues
Tissues & Functions
| Tissue | Function |
|---|---|
| Covering and Lining Epithelial | Covers body and organ surfaces; lines internal spaces. |
| Glandular Epithelial | Produce products and release from cell. |
| Connective Tissue | Binds, supports, & strengthens organs. |
| Connective Tissue | Protects and insulates organs. |
| Connective Tissue | Main source of stored energy. |
| Connective Tissue | Main transport system. |
| Connective Tissue | Main site of your immune responses. |
| Connective Tissue | Never exposed to outside air & is regenerative. |
| Epithelial Tissue | Closely packed. |
| Epithelial Tissue | Attached by an underlying connective tissue by an uncellular basement membrane. |
| Epithelial Tissue | The surface opposite the basement membrane is not attached. |
| Epithelial Tissue | This tissue is avascular but inervated. |
| Epithelial Tissue | This tissue is highly regenerative. |
| Connective Tissue | Consists of relatively few, loosely arranged cells. |
| Connective Tissue Proper | "Average Joes", bind tissues and support organ structure. |
| Loose Connective Tissue | Most common tissue; Attaches skin to underlying muscles; site for many immune reactions. |
| Adipose Tissue | Found beneath skin and around internal organs. |
| Adipose Tissue | Fat storage; Serves as a protective cushion for internal organs. |
| Fibrous Connective Tissue | This tissue has a poor blood supply so it is slow in healing. |
| Fibrous Connective Tissue | This tissue is characterized by an abundance of tighty packed collagen cells. |
| Fibrous Connective Tissue | Tendons & Ligaments ; Deep layer of skin ; Elastic |
| Specialized Connective Tissues | Cartilage, Bone, Blood |
| Cartilage | Able to withstand more force then the tissues in the Connective Tissue Proper due to the collagen and elastic fibers. |
| Cartilage | Body's cushions between bones ; absorbs force so bones are not abused. |
| 3 types of cartilage | Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage |
| Hyaline Cartilage | Tip of nose, attaches ribs to breast bone; allows ribcage to expand while breathing. |
| Hyaline Cartilage | "Average" - strength, elasticity, and resiliance. |
| Elastic Cartilage | Not "average" - lots of elastic, very flexible. |
| Elastic Cartilage | Entire outer ear. |
| Fibrocartilage | Lots of collagen, excessively strong. |
| Fibrocartilage | Knee cartilage, between every bone in the vertebra. |
| Bone Tissue | Hardest and most rigid because of a solid matrix ; calcuim salts in matrix. |
| Blood Tissue | Red blood cells, White blood cells, & Platelets. |
| Muscle Tissue | Responsible for motion, posture, and heat generation. |
| Skeletal Muscle | Contract & move bones (Attached to bones) ; Voluntary |
| Cardiac Muscle | Makes heart muscle contract (Heart muscle) ; Involuntary |
| Smooth Muscle | Controls other internal organs (stomach, bladder, uterus) ; Involuntary |
| Nerve Tissue | Composed of 2 classes of cells ; Neurons and Neuroglia. |
