QuestionAnswer
define ectoderm the tissue that develops into nervous tissue
define mesoderm the tissue which gives rise to all connective tissues and most muscle tissues
define endoderm the primal germ layer theat gives rise to the gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, urethra, and respirtory tract
3 functions of cell junctions for seals between cells, anchor cells to one another or to extracellular material, or to provide channels that allow ions and molecules to pass from cell to cell
desmosomes use the plaque and transmembrane glycoproteins that are in them to extend into the intracellular space between adjacent cell membranes and attatch cells to one another.
gap junctions allow communication
apical surface of an epithelial cell the body surface, a body cavity, the luman of an internal organ, or a tubular duct that recieves secretions
avascular no blood supply
epithelial tissue endures stress: becayse a high rate of cell division allows epithelial tissue to renew and repair itself
covering and linign epithelial tissues are classified by: the arrangment of cells into layers and the shapes of the cells
a pap smear examines: the nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium in the cervix and vagina
merocrine glands function: the secretion is synthesized on ribosomes attatched to rouigh and are processed, sorted, and packaged byt he golgi complex and released front the cell in the secretory vesicles via exocytosis.
holocrine glands function: accumulating a secretory product in their cytosol. as the secretory cell matures, it becomes the secretory product. the sloughed off cell is replaced by a new cell.
function of transitional epithelium: lines urinary bladder and allows you to hold various amounts of liquid without rupturing.
function of stratified columnar epithelium: protection
function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium: secretion and movement of mucus by ciliary action
function of stratified cuboidal epithelium: protection and found in adult sweat glands
function of stratified squamous epithelium: protection(several layers)
keratinized epidermis/ lets no fluids out
nonkeratinized mouth, esophagus, vagina, tongue/ lines wet surfaces
function of ciliated simple columnar epithelium: cilia beat in unison and move mucus and foreign objects toward the throat to be coughed out
function of nonciliated simple columnar epithelium: secretion and absorption/lines gi tract
goblet cells secrete mucus that lubricates the linings of the degestive, respirtory, reproductive, and urinary tract
function of simple cuboidal epithelium: secretion and absorption/found covering ovaries, in kidneys and eyes, and makes up secretion portion of some glands
function of simple squamous epithelium: filtration
histology study of tissues
pathologist physician who studies cells and tissues to hlep make accurate diagnoses; examine tissues for changes that might indicate disease
vascular connective tissue-blood supply except tendons
new ending names of mature connective tissue cells cytes
loose connective loose fibers(more cells)
dense connective dense fibers(less cells)
post surgical complications of liposuction: fat clots, infection, fluid depletion, injury to internal structures, severe pain
dense regular connective tissue provides great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers;found in tendons
adipose connective tissue acts as a storage depot for fat
dense irregular connective tissue composes the dermis of the skin
osseous tissue forms the bony skeleton
areolar connective tissue composes the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cells types
hyaline cartilage forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea
adipose connective tissue provides insulation for the body
hyaline cartilage structurally amorphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibers; appears glassy and smooth
osseous tissue contains cells arranged concentrically around a nutrient canal; matrix is hard due to calcium salts
reticular connective tissue forms the stroma or internal skeleton of lymph nodes, the spleen, and other lymphoid organs
cartilage provides smooth surfaces for movement at joints, as well as flexibility and support
compact bone support, protection, storage
blood red blood cells transport O2 and CO2 to the body
function of skeletal muscle tissue motion, posture, heat production
function of cardiac muscle tissue pumps blood to all parts of the body
function of smooth muscle tissue motion
function of nervous tissue(neurons) exhibits sensitivity to various types of stimuli
epithelium tissue forms mucous, serous, and epidermal membranes
muscle tissue allows for organ movements within the body
nervous tissue transmits electrochemical impulses
connective tissue supports body organs
epithelium tissue cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances
nervous tissue basis of the major controlling system of the body
muscle tissue the cells of this tissue shorten to exert force
epithelium tissue forms hormones
connective tissue packages and protects body organs
connective tissue characterized by having large amounts of nonliving matrix
muscle tissue allows you to smile, swim, ski, and shoot an arrow
connective tissue most widely distributed tissue type in the body
nervous tissue forms the brain and spinal cord
voluntarily controlled skeletal muscle tissue
involuntarily controlled cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
banded appearance skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue
single nucleus in each cell cardiac an dsmooth muscle tissue
multinucleate skeletal muscle tissue
found attached to bones skeletal muscle tissue
allows you to direct your eyeballs skeletal muscle tissue
found in the walls of the stomach, uterus, and arteries smooth muscle tissue
contains spindle shaped cells smooth muscle tissue
contains cylindrical cells with branching ends cardiac muscle tissue
contains long, non-branching cylindrical cells skeletal muscle tissue
displays intercalated disks cardiac muscle tissue
concerned with locomotion of the body as a whole skeletal muscle tissue
changes the internal volume of an organ as it contracts cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
tissue of the circulatory pump cardiac muscle tissue
2 types of tissue that make up the mucous membrane epithelium and connective
viscera that are covered by the peritoneum abdominal cavity
axon simple, thin, cylindrical process that may be very long. the output portion of a neuron, conducting nerve impulses toward another neuron or to some other tisssue
dendrite tapering, highly branched, and usually short processes. the recieving or input portion of the neuron
cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles
atrophy decrease in size of cells
