Goodcare LPN Biology C 4 Tissues, Glands, and Membranes
Question | Answer |
---|---|
4 main types of tissues in the human body | Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous |
Has a “Free” (or Apical) Surface | Epithelial Tissue |
Epithelial Tissue categorized as | simple, stratified, or pseudostratified |
Connected Below to a Basement Layer | Epithelial Tissue |
May be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar | Epithelial Tissue |
Gets its name because it changes its shape | Transitional Epithelium |
Specialized to produce some sort of secretions and are usually associated with columnar or cuboidal epithelial tissue. | Glandular epithelial cells |
May be endocrine or exocrine. | Glands |
Some of these cells are referred to as mucous glands and goblet cells | Gland Cells |
These tissue mind, provide support and protection, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infections, and help repair tissue damage | Connective tissues |
These tissue have an abundant extracellular matrix and the fact that they are farther apart than cells of other tissue types | Connective tissues |
These tissue may be solid, semi-solid, or even liquid | Connective tissue |
The extracellular matrix is composed of protein fibers and ground substance | Connective tissue |
Cell types in connective tissue | Fibroblasts, macrophages, and mast cells |
Circulating Connective Tissue | Loose connective tissue Dense connective tissue Cartilage Bone Tissue |
Loose connective tissue | Areolar tissue Adipose tissue Reticular tissue |
Dense connective tissue | Tendons Ligaments |
Includes areolar tissue and Adipose tissue | Loose connective tissue |
Tissue may be irregular or regular | dense connective tissue |
Cartilage may be | Hyaline cartilage Elastic cartilage Fibrocartilage |
This tissue's main characteristic is its ability to contract and relax, enabling movement | Muscle tissue |
Skeletal, smooth and cardiac are the 3 main types of what tissue | Muscle tissue |
The most highly specialized type of tissue | Nervous Tissue |
Composed of special conducting cells called neurons | Nervous Tissue |
Neuroglia | Makes up most of the nerve tissue |
Provide help and support for the highly specialized but delicate neurons | Neuroglia |
Thin, sheet like structures composed of epithelium and underlying connective tissue | Epithelial membranes |
The major types of epithelial membranes | Serous Mucous Cutaneous |
A different type, composed entirely of connective tissues and associated with bones | Synovial membrane |
Pleural Serous Pericardium Peritoneum | Specific types of Serous Membranes |
Associated with the lungs and thoracic cavity. | Pleural Membrane |
Associated with the heart | Serous Pericardium |
Associated with the abdomen, especially digestive system | Peritoneum |
Frequently associated with openings to the body. Form linings to digestive, respiratory, etc systems. Rich in goblet cells to produce mucous | Mucous Membranes |
Types of Connective Tissue Membranes | Synovial, Fascia, Superficial fascia, Deep fascia, Fibrous pericardium |
Mostly associated with joints, but also form meninges. | Synovial membrane (tissue) |
Covers or separates | Fascia |
Associated with skin, also called subcutaneous fascia. | Superficial fascia |
Located in and around muscle and nerve fibers and blood vessels. | Deep fascia |
Helps protect the heart | Fibrous pericardium |
Form meninges | Synovial tissue |
