| Tissues | Group of similar cells that functions together to carry out specialized activities(come from the same point) |
| 4 types of tissues | 1)Epithelial/2)Connective/3)Muscle/4)Nervous |
| Epithelial tissue | Covers surfaces/Lines internal passageways(cavities)/Form glands |
| Connective tissue | Fills internal spaces/Supports other tissues/Transports materials/Stores energy |
| Muscle tissue | Specialized for contraction |
| 3 types of Muscle tissues | 1)Skeletal/2)Cardiac/3)Smooth (walls hollow organs; ex:uterus, bladder) |
| Neural tissue | Carries electrical from 1 part of the body to another |
| Characteristics of Epithelia | Arranged in sheets/Contain nerve supply/high rate of mitosis/avascular/regeneration |
| Functions of Epithelia | Protection/Control permeability/Sensation/Produce specialized secretions/absorption |
| Cell Junctions | Forms bond with other cells or extra cellular material |
| Tight junctions | formed by the fusion of the outer layers of 2 cells |
| Gap junctions | makes a channel between 2 cells |
| Button desmosomes | ties adjacent cells together |
| Classes of Epithelia | Based on shape and layers |
| Based on Layers | simple(1 thick cell layered)& stratified(multiple layers stack together) |
| Based on Shape | Squamous(flat)/Cuboidal(cube)(square)/Columnar(tall and slender/nucleus looks like is sinking to the bottom) |
| Simple Squamous Epithelium | functions:Reduces friction,controls vessel permeability,performs absorption and secretion |
| Stratified Squamous Epithelium | Protects/Keratin proteins add strength and water resisrtance |
| Simple Cuboidal Epithelium | Kidney tubules(giant nucleus) |
| Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium | Sweat glands ducts & Mammary ducts |
| Transitional Epithelium | Urinary bladder-tolerates repeated cycles of stretching without damage |
| Simple Columnar Epithelium | Intestinal lining-absorption & secretion |
| Pseudostratifies Columnar Epithelium | (false layered)-Trachea=cilia on surface is the easiest way to identify it. |
| Stratified Columnar Epithelium | Salicary gland duct(protection) |
| Connective tissues | Most abundant tissue in the body/Connect epithelium to the rest of the body/Provide structure(bone)/Store energy(fat)/Transport materials(blood)/Have NO contact with environment. |
| Epidermis | provides mechanical protection and helps keep microorganisms outside the body. |
| Papillary layer | layer of the dermis is composed of areolar connective tissue, and provides a junction between the epidermis and dermis, as well as ridges for gripping that appear in fingerprints. |
| Dermis | The connective tissue layer beneath the epidermis of the skin. |
| Reticular layer | body of the dermis is composed of the reticular layer which is responsible for holding hairs, sebaceous and sweat glands. |
| Subcutaneous layer(hypodermis) | Fat storage and blood supply to dermis are taken care of in the subcutaneous layer. |
| Hair shaft | The hair serves as protection for the surface of the body, both insulating and cushioning the underlying skin. |
| Pore of sweat gland ducts | an exocrine gland, with an opening to the surface of the skin for sweat secretions. |
| Sebaceous gland | Oil production is carried out in the sebaceous glands in order to maintain flexibility of the epidermis and the hair. |
| Hair follicle | An accessory structure of the integument; a tube lined by a stratified squamous epithelium that begins at the surface of the skin and ends at the hair papilla. |
| Sweat gland duct | The conduit from a sweat gland to the outer surface of epithelium is the sweat gland duct. |
| Nerve fibers | Sensory information concerning pain are simple nerve fibers located in the dermis. |
| Sweat gland | The production of sweat is carried out in the sweat glands. |
| Artery | A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart and toward a peripheral capillary. |
| Vein | A blood vessel carrying blood from a capillary bed toward the heart. |
| Fat | Adipose, or fat, has a purpose: it assists in protection, energy storage and heat retention. |
| Keloid | Thickened areas covered by shiny smooth epithelial skin |
| Dense Connective tissue(Dense Regular) | fibers look like they run in the same direction |
| Dense Conn. Tissue(Elastic ligament) | found between the vertebrae |
| Dense Conn. Tissue(Dense Irregular) | Fibers run everywhere |
| Fluid Connective Tissues | Blood & Lymph-watery matrix of dissolved proteins/carry specific cell types/(watery part of the plasma) |
| Supportive Connective Tissues | Support soft tissues and body weight: Cartilage & Bone |
| Cartilage | shock absorption & protection/no blood vessels (avascular) |
| Bone | Calcified (made rigid by calcium salts, minerals)/weight support |
| Types of Cartilage | Hyaline: Most common/Provides stiff but somewhat flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces/trachea, between tips of ribs and bones of sternum |
| Types of Cartilage | Elastic: Provides support, but tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape/external ear |
| Fibrocartilage | Resist compression/prevent bone-to-bone contact;limits relative movement/between pubic bones & intervertebral discs |
| Bone structure (livin' tissue) | Most supportive connective tissue/Strong/resist shattering (flexible collagen fiber) |
| Osteocytes | maintains the bones (bone cells)/communicate with the blood vessels and with one another by means of slender cytoplasmic extensions |
| Membranes | physical barrier/lines or covers portions of the body/Consist of:Epithelium & Supported by connective tissue |
| Fascia | Layers & wrappings of connective tissue that support or surround organs |
| Integumentary System | Includes:Cutaneous Membrane (skin):Epidermis & Dermis |
| Integumentary System (continues) | Accessory Structures: Nails/Hair/Exocrine glands. |
| Hypodermis | stores fat/also gives fluidity to allow skin to move around |
| Functions of the Skin | Protection/Excretion & Absorption/Body temperature regulation/Synthesis of vitamin D3/Stores lipids/Detection of sensation/Blood reservoir |
