A&P Ch5&Lab Tissues

QuestionAnswer
Four primary tissue classes epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular
Which epithelial tissues provide the best protection? Stratified squamous epithelium would have excellent protection as it is several cells thick. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia would provide good movement of mucus and trapped particles away from the lungs.(lab manual p74)
Transitional epithelium Consists of several layers of cube-shaped, elongated, and irregular cells
Transitional epithelium Forms inner lining of urinary bladder
Ciliated Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Commonly possesses cilia that move dust and mucus out of the airways
Ciliated Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Nuclei located at different levels within cells
Ciliated Pseudostratified columnar epithelium Forms linings of trachea and bronchi
Simple squamous epithelium Single layer of flattened cells
Simple squamous epithelium Forms walls of capillaries and air sacs of lungs
Stratified squamous epithelium Younger cells cuboidal, older cells flattened
Stratified squamous epithelium Forms lining of oral cavity, anal canal, and vagina
Simple cuboidal epithelium Lines kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands
Simple columnar epithelium Forms lining of stomach and intestines
Simple columnar epithelium Nuclei located near basement membrane
Functions as heat insulator beneath skin Adipose
Binds skin to underlying organs Areolar connective
Contains large amounts of fluid and lacks fibers Blood
Cells arranged around central canal Bone (compact)
Main tissue of dermis Dense irregular connective
Main tissue of tendons and ligaments Dense regular connective
Forms framework of outer ear Elastic cartilage
Occurs in ligament attachments between vertebrae and artery walls Elastic connective
Pads between vertebrae that are shock absorbers Fibrocartilage
Forms the flexible part of the nasal septum Hyaline cartilage
Forms supporting tissue in walls of thymus and spleen Reticular connective
Explain the structural tissue characteristics that make the spleen so vulnerable to serious injury Spleen is composed of reticular connective tissue. This type of tissue contains only short, thin, collaginous fibers (reticular fibers) that are widely scattered. The result is a delicate distribution of fibers among cells and a fluid ground substance.
Contains intercalated discs Cardiac muscle
Striated and involuntary Cardiac muscle
Muscle that composes heart Cardiac muscle
Coordinates, regulates, and integrates body functions Nervous tissue
Contains neurons and neuroglia Nervous tissue
Transmits impulses along cellular processes Nervous tissue
Striated and voluntary Skeletal muscle
Muscle attached to bones Skeletal muscle
Muscle that lacks striations Smooth muscle
Moves food through the digestive tract Smooth muscle
Can tell difference between tissue classes types and functions of cells, characteristics of the matrix, and the space occupied by cells versus matrix
3 primary germ layers in an embryo ectoderm (outer), endoderm (inner), mesoderm (middle)
Ectoderm forms epidermis and nervous system (outer)
Endoderm forms mucous membrane forming the GI tract and respiratory system (inner)
Mesoderm forms becomes mesenchyme which becomes muscle, bone, blood (middle)
Epithelial tissues description 1)closely adhering cells, no blood vessels, basement membrane anchors it to connective tissue 2)line body surface and body cavities 3)look like fried eggs next to each other
Simple squamous epithelium Appears: Single row of flat cells Function: permits diffusion of substances, secretes serous fluid Locations: alveoli (lungs), glomeruli (kidneys), endothelium (inside layer), and serosa
Simple cuboidal epithelium Appears: Single row cube shaped with microvilli (increases surface area, looks like hairs) Function: absorption and secretion, mucus production Location: salivary glands, kidney tubules
Simple columnar epithelium Appears: Single row tall, narrow cells, has microvilli, has goblet cells Function: absorption and secretion, mucus secretion Locations: lining of GI tract (uterus)
Ciliated pseudostratified Columnar epithelium Appears: single row some not reaching free surface, has cilia, and goblet cells Function: secretes and propels respiratory mucus Locations: respiratory system
Cilia little hairs that propel substances one place to another or away (ex: mucus of trachea produced by goblet cells then on top of cilia and propelled or swept up and away)
Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium Appears: multi-layered epithelium covered with dead squamous cells packed with keratin, dry layer Function: retards water loss and a protection/immunity function Location: epidermis of skin
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium Appears: multi-layered surface epithelium forming a moist, slippery layer Locations: tongue, vagina
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Appears: layered surface square surface cells Function: secretes sweat Locations: sweat glands
Transitional Epithelium Appears: multilayered epithelium surface cells that change from round to flat when stretched (Function: stretches, fills urinary tract) Location: bladder
Connective tissue functions connects organs, gives support and protection (physical & immune), stores energy and produces heat, movement and transport of materials (know to recognize, not list)
Cells of connective tissue fibroblasts (produce fibers), immune cells, adipocytes (store fat)
Connective tissue fibers (know to recognize/understand) 1)collagen: white, tough, stretch resistant yet flexible, tendons, ligaments, deep layer of skin 2)reticular: thin, framework, mesh, in spleen & lymph nodes 3)elastic: yellow, thin, branching, for stretch & recoil, skin, lungs, arteries
Four Connective Tissue types fibrous, cartilage, bone, blood
Fibrous connective tissue types 1)Loose – areolar, reticular, adipose 2) Dense – regular, irregular
Areolar tissue Appears: roadmap with cities and highways Function/Location: underlies all epithelia, between muscles, passageways for nerves and blood vessels (Connective – Fibrous – Loose -)
Reticular tissue Appears: cherry blossom tree Function: forms supportive stroma (framework) for lymphatic organs Location: lymph nodes, bone marrow (Connective – Fibrous – Loose - )
Adipose tissue Appears: empty, thin margins, nucleus up against membrane Function: energy storage, insulation, cushioning Locations: hypodermis (& around organs) (Connective – Fibrous – Loose - )
Dense regular tissue Appears: waves, parallel collagen fibers, fibroblasts Function: hold bones together and attach muscles to bones Location: tendons, ligaments (Connective – Fibrous – Dense - )
Dense irregular tissue Appears: Monet sky, randomly arranged collagen fibers Function: Withstands stresses applied in different directions Location: deeper layer of skin, capsules around organs (Connective – Fibrous – Dense - )
Two primary tissue types without blood vessels stratified squamous epithelium (epidermis) and cartilage
Three types of cartilage hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
Cartilage description supportive connective tissue with rubbery matrix, no blood vessels, chondroblasts form cartilage and become chondrocytes when surrounded
Hyaline cartilage Appears: eyeballs in water (chrondrocytes in lacunae-openings) Function: Supports airway, eases joint movement Location: ends of bones, sternal ends of ribs, fetal skeleton (Connective – Cartilage - )
Elastic cartilage Appears: like hyaline’s eyeballs in water but darker, denser elastic fibers Function: flexible, elastic support Location: external ear, epiglottis (covers larynx) (Connective – Cartilage - )
Fibrocartilage Appears: candy-cane beef jerky with pepper (chondrocyte in lacuna) Function: resists compression and absorbs shock Location: pubic symphysis (pad of cartilage at pubic bone base), meniscus (knee), intervertebral discs
Two types bone tissue Spongy (covered by compact bone, found in heads of long bones) and Compact (solid in appearance, osteon, central canal, osteocytes in lacunae)
Function of bone tissue skeletal support, leverage for muscles, mineral storage
Blood description and location liquid connective tissue Location: heart and blood vessels
Nerve tissue Function: internal communication between cells Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia
Three tissue types of muscle skeletal, cardiac, smooth
Skeletal muscle striations, multiple nuclei, voluntary movement
Cardiac muscle striations, one nucleus, involuntary movement, intercalated discs
Smooth muscle nonstriated, one nucleus, involuntary movement
Fibroblasts produce the fibers and ground substance of the matrix in fibrous connective tissues
