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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
