Tissue Biology

Body Structure & Function

QuestionAnswer
Fibroblast Any cell from which connective tissue developes. It produces collegin, elastin & reticular protein.
Mast Cells Esential for inflammatory reactions: allergies & asthmas
Chondrocyte A cartilage cell
Adipocyte fat cell
Erythrocyte A mature red blood cell
Leukocyte (two parts) granulocytes & agranulocytes. With & Without Granules.
Reticulocyte The last immature stage of the red blood cell.
Carcinoma Malignant growth on Epithelial Tissue
Sarcoma A cancer arising from mesenchymal tissue such as muscle or bone.
Endocrine NO open contact w/ exterior, NO ducts. Produce hormones.
Exocrine Open contact with exterior. HAS ducts
Squamous flat-scale like
Cuboidal equal in height & width
Columnar taller than wide.
Simple one layer of cells
Stratisfied more than one layer of cells
Pseudostratisfied Appears stratisfied, but all layers contact basement membrane, si it is in fact simple.
Epithelial Tissue Act as protective linings and coverings.
Connective Tissue Connective & supportive tissues that bind and hold body strucctures together.
Muscle Tissue Tissues with a unique capability to contract or shorten
Nervous Tissue. Specialize in conduction. Complex telecomuunications network. Recieve, dissaminate & store info collected from receptors.
Hemopoitic Tissue forms blood cells, found in bone marrow
Types of cartilage hyalinc, fibrocartilage, elastic (ear)
Areolar "glue" that gives form to the internal organs. Attatches skin to underlying tissue
Adipose Stores lipids
fibrous Connective Tissue Thick bundles of strong white collegen fibers arranged in parallel rows. Composes tendons.
Histology Microscopic Study of Tissues
Blasts CREATE the matrix (ie: osteoblast)
Cytes MAINTAIN the matrix (ie: chondrocyte)
Clasts BREAK down the matrix for remodeling (:ie: osteoclasts
White blood cells do what? Respond to injury or infection
undifferientiated messenchyme Stem Cells-ability to become anything
