ANIMAL TISSUE

SUMMARY

QuestionAnswer
are similar in structure group together to form tissues performing a particular function. CELLS
ANIMAL TISSUES ARE MADE UP OF - epithelial - connective - muscle - nerve tissue.
Epithelium is made up - flat squamous cells - cuboidal cells - columnar cells
involved in secretion of enzymes, protective substances such as mucus and they provide a supportive function. epithelial cells
Muscle tissue is made up of - cardiac muscle - skeletal muscle - smooth muscle.
are striated muscles Cardiac and skeletal muscle
are involuntary muscles Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle
is under voluntary control. skeletal muscle
Connective tissues are composed of - connective tissue proper - fluid connective tissue - supporting connective tissue
They provide strength and support, reduce friction and act as a shock absorbers. connective tissues
made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets blood
transport oxygen red blood cells
responsible for immune response white blood cells
important in blood clothing platelets
responsible for receiving stimuli from the environment, processing it and sending impulses to muscles or glands so that we can respond to the stimuli. Nerve tissue
sensory neurons stimuli
Cells that come from surfaces of your body, such as your skin, blood, vessels, urinary tract, or organs. Epithelial cells
serve as a barrier between the inside and outside of your body, and protect it from viruses. Epithelial cells
Grouped together to make our skin. Epithelial cells
Cannot formed if epithelial is absorbing. Bone tissue
covers by apical basal
CLASSIFICATION OF EPITHELIAL CELLS - Number of cell layers - The shape of the superficial cells
With its single layer of cells, covers surfaces. Simple epithelium
it facilitates the diffusion of gases lungs
filters blood kidney
secretes cellular products glands
it absorbs nutrients intestines
More than one layer and one on top of another. Stratified epithelium
Is found in areas of the body where abrasion can occur Stratified squamous epithelium
found in skin, mouth throat, esophagus, anus, and vagina. Stratified squamous epithelium
Looks like have on more than layer but does not. Pseudo stratified
CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE USED TO CLASSIFY TISSUE - The structure of the cells. - The composition of the noncellular substances surrounding the cells - The functions of the cells.
The composition of the noncellular substances surrounding the cells extracellular matrix
Covers and protects surface from outside and inside. Epithelial tissues
Binds and support the organs, provides protection, participates in immunity. Connective tissues
Enclose and separate muscles, arteries, veins, and nerves from one another. Connective tissues
Responsible for movement. muscle tissues
Reside stimuli, conducts nerves and pulses. nervous tissues
are most diverse in form base on number of cells layers. Epithelial and connective tissues
cell shape cell layer
FUNCTIONS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE - structural support - connection - protection - blood
Attach muscles to bone. tendons
Holds bone together. ligaments (bands)
Provide rigid support for the body. bones
Supports structures such as the nose, ears, and joint surfaces. cartilage
how many cartilage in adult 206
how many cartilage in human infants 270
Between bones allow one part of the body to move relative to other parts. joints
Stores high energy molecule. Adipose tissue
Loosely arrange collagens and fibers Adipose tissue
The specialized cells of the various connective tissues produce the extracellular matrix. CELLS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
create matrix blast
cytes cell
break it down Clasts
are cells that form fibrous connective tissue. fibroblast
form cartilage CHONDROBLASTS
chondro means cartilage
form bones OSTEOBLASTS
osteo means bones
Supports, protects, and hold bones, muscles, and other tissues and organs in place. dense connective tissue
Type of cell that contributes to the formation of connective tissue. fibroblast
Has protein fibers in the extracellular matrix that are oriented predominantly in one direction. Dense regular connective tissue
have collagen fiber Collagenous connective
It connects our bones to bones. ligaments
helping to hold our head upright Nutra ligaments
Protein fibers, arranged randomly, layers oriented right angle, many direction Dense irregular tissue
no blood vessels or nerves Cartilage
Transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, nutrients, waste products, and other substances. red blood cells
Protects the body from infections and is involved in temperature regulation white blood cells
Form cloths and stop or prevent bleeding. platelets
Is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves and is characterized by the ability to conduct electrical signals called action potentials. nervous tissue
are responsible for its conductive ability and support cells called neuroglia. neurons
Are the conducting cells of nervous tissue. Neurons or nerve cells
projection in cytoplasm, surrounded by membrane Axon
receive action potential (conducts electrical signals) Dendrites
