Tissues

QuestionAnswer
What is tissue A group of similar cells performing a common function
What is histology Study of tissues
What is the intercellular material surrounding the cells of tissue Matrix
4 types of tissue Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
What covers and protects the body surface, lines body cavities, forms glands, moves substances in and out of body Epithelial Tissue
Supports the body, connects and holds things together, transports substances, protect from foreign invaders Connective Tissue
this tissue controls movement Muscle tissue
What tissue is the communicate between body parts Nervous tissue
A hollow sac after the zygote from fertilization undergoes cell division Blastula
3 primary germ layers Endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm
Movement of cells into 3 layers Gastrulation
Epithelial is in what gastula layer Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
2 basic types of Epithelial tissue Membranous and glandular
Function of epithelial tissue Protect, sensory, secretion, absorption, and excretion
Characteristics of Epithelial Limited amounts of matrix Lots of cells close together Avascular- no blood Reproduce themselves Sheets connect to connective tissue
Basement membrane of epithelial Basal lamina - epithelial cells Reticular lamina - connective cells
shapes of epithelial Squamous, cuboidal, columnar, psuedostratified
Squamous Flat, plate like
Cuboidal Cube shaped
Columnar Higher than wide
Psuedostratified 1 layer of columnar cells
3 layer classifications of epithelial Simple, stratified, and transitional
Simple epithelial One cell layer
Stratified epithelial 2 layers ( one layer on top of another)
Transitional epithelial Differing of cell shapes in a stratified layer
Simple squamous 1 layer of flat cells Can readily diffuse
Simple squamous locations Blood vessels
Simple cuboidal location Glands Ducts (kidneys)
Simple columnar has Cilia
Simple columnar location Stomach Uterus
Psuedostratified columnar location Male reproductive Air passages
Microvili Hairs that increases surface area
Stratified squamous characteristic (keratin) Protection
Stratified squamous location Skin
Keratin Protein that causes cells to die and harden
Stratified squamous (non keratinized) characteristic Moist
Location of stratified squamous non keratinized Mouth Esophagus vagina
Stratified Cuboidal characteristic protect Sweat glands
Stratified columnar is… Rare
Stratified columnar location Mucus layer
Stratified transitional characteristic Stretchy
Stratified transitional location bladder
When old are flatten but when younger are cuboidal Stratified squamous
Nuclei at different levels of the cell Psuedostratified
Located in air sacs of lungs Simple squamous
nuclei located near basement membrane Simple columnar
Reticular tissue is Mesh of fibers and fibroblasts Forms supportive stroma 3d web
Reticular location Lymph nodes
Dense regular fibers are in Wavy sheets
characteristics of dense regular Few blood vessels Slow to heal
Function of bone Provides support and framework Point of attachment for muscles Reserve minerals
Osteocytes Mature bone cells
Osteoblast Bone forming cells
Osteoclast Bone destroying cells
Haversian system is The structural unit of bone
Parts of Haversian system Lucunae, lamellar, canaliculi
Compact bone Surrounds Haversian systems
Cartilage characteristics Chondrocytes Avascular Perichondrium Slow to heal
Types of cartilage Hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic
Hyaline characteristics Most widespread
Hyaline locations Found at the ends of bones
Fibrocartilage characteristics Strongest Shock absorbers
Fibrocartilage location Between vertebrae and knee joints
Elastic characteristic External ear and voice box
Blood function Moves oxygen and carbon dioxide, waste, nutrients Maintains body temp Destroys harmful microorganisms
What is unique about blood tissue It is a liquid (fluid tissue)
Structural units of blood Plamsa Erythrocytes Thrombocytes Leukocytes
Erythrocytes Red blood cells
Leukocytes White blood cells
Thrombocytes Platelets
Muscle tissue has… Little matrix
Skeletal muscle characteristic Stratified voluntary Mutlinuclei
Muscle attaches to Bone
Smooth muscle characteristics Nonstratified and involuntary
Location of smooth muscle Lines internal organs
Cardiac muscles Striated and involuntary Branches and attached
Cardiac muscle has Intercalated discs for the heart to beat as one
Nerve has lots of Matrix
Function or nerve cells Regulate body activity
Nerve location Brain Spinal cord Nerves
Types of nerve cells/ what makes up nerves Neurons and nueroglia
Characteristics of nerve tissue Axon- impulses way Dendrites-impulses towards
