Chapter 5 Tissues

anatomy & physiology

The common features of the epithelial tissue Cellularity, polarity, Attachment, Avascularity, and High Regeneration
Explain the four functions of the epithelial tissues Sensation Secretion Selective Permeability Protection
Name the classes of epithelia based on cell layers . Simple, Stratified, Pseudostratified and Transitional
Define glands Glands are organs or groups of cells specialized to produce and secrete substances like hormones, enzymes, mucus, or sweat
Distinguish between endocrine and exocrine glands. Ducts, secrete onto surface, and ductless secrete hormones into blood
List exocrine gland types based on anatomic form of secretion Unicellular (goblet), Multicellular (sweat salivary)
The three components of connective tissue. Cells, Protein fibers, and Ground substance
Give examples of resident cells in connective tissue proper Fibroblasts, Adipocytes, Fixed macrophages, and Mesenchymal cells
Name three types of protein fibers found in connective tissue Collagen fibers, Elastic fibers, and Reticular fibers
List three types of molecules that may be found in ground substance. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), Proteoglycans, and Glycoproteins
The structure of Areolar Connective Tissue has a loose, irregular arrangement of fibers and cells in a semi-fluid ground substance
Compare and contrast mesenchyme and mucous connective tissue. Embryonic, Stem CT and in umbilical cord supportive
Compare and contrast the general characteristics of connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue, and fluid connective tissue Proper: loose and dense Supporting: cartilage, bone Fluid: blood lymph
The structure of Areolar connective tissue Loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers in a gel-like ground substance Contains various cells like fibroblasts, macrophages, and mast cells
Compare and contrast the structure, function, and location of the three types of muscle tissue Skeletal: striated, voluntary, multinucleated, movement of skeleton. Cardiac: striated, involuntary, intercalated disc, pumps blood Smooth: non striated, involuntary, wall of hollow organs
The locations of nervous tissue. Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, and Sensory Organs
The structure of nervous tissue. Neurons (nerve cells) and Neuroglia (glial cells)
The function of nervous tissue. Receive stimuli, Process information, Transmit signals, and Control body functions
Identify types of connective tissue Areolar Connective Tissue, Adipose Tissue, and Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Give examples of wandering cells in connective tissue proper Mast cells, Plasma cells, Free macrophages, and Leukocytes
an organ. a structure in the body made up of two or more different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or group of functions.
Provide an example of the tissues that may compose an organ The Heart: Muscle tissue, Connective tissue, Epithelial tissue, and Nervous tissue
Identify and describe the structure of mucous membrane The top layer is made of epithelial tissue, which varies depending on the location (can be simple columnar, stratified squamous, etc.).
Identify and describe the structure of serous membrane Epithelial Layer: Made of a simple squamous epithelium called mesothelium. These flat cells secrete a thin, watery fluid.
Identify and describe the structure of synovial membranes. Made mostly of specialized connective tissue (not epithelial tissue like mucous or serous membranes). Contains synoviocytes, cells that produce synovial fluid
The three primary germ layers. Ectoderm, Mesoderm, and Endoderm
Describe how does Hypertrophy tissues may change in form, size, or number of cells increase in cell size
List some changes that occur in tissues with age slower repair, thinner epithelia, reduced elastically, less collagen, decreased blood supply, fragility.
Name the classes of epithelia based on cell shapes. Squamous, Cuboidal, and Columnar
Identify the location and describe the function of mucous membrane secret mucus, respiratory, digestive
Identify the location and describe the function of serous membrane produces serous fluid, pleura, pericardium
Identify and describe the function of synovial membranes Lines the inside of synovial joints (like knees and elbows), helping reduce friction between moving bones.
List exocrine gland types based on physiologic method of secretion Merocrine glands (exocytosis), Apocrine glands (portion pinched off), and Holocrine glands (whole cell disintegrates)
The function of Areolar Connective Tissue Provides support and cushioning around organs Holds tissues and organs in place Allows for nutrient and waste exchange between tissues
The function of Adipose Connective Tissue Stores energy as fat Provides insulation and protection for organs
The function of Dense Regular Connective Tissue Provides strong, flexible support in one direction Connects muscles to bones (tendons) and bones to bones (ligaments)
The structure of Adipose connective tissue Fat-storing cells (adipocytes) packed closely together Very little extracellular matrix
The structure of Dense Regular connective tissue Densely packed collagen fibers aligned in parallel Few cells, mostly fibroblasts
The function of connective tissues Support, binding, storage, transport, protection, immune defense.
Identify the three types of muscles tissue Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
The structure of Simple Squamous Epithelium Single layer of flat cells with central nuclei
The structure of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Single layer of cube-shaped cells with round, central nuclei
The structure of Simple Columnar Epithelium Appears stratified, but all cells contact the basement membrane, often ciliated with goblet cells
The structure of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Multiple layers: apical cells are flat; can be keratinized or non-keratinized
The structure of Stratified Squamous Epithelium Usually 2–3 layers of cube-shaped cells
The structure of Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Several layers with columnar cells at the top
The structure of Stratified Columnar Epithelium Several layers with columnar cells at the top
The structure of Transitional Epithelium Layers of cells that can change shape (rounded to flat) when stretched
The Function of Simple Squamous Epithelium Rapid diffusion and filtration
The Function of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Secretion and absorption
The Function of Simple Columnar Epithelium Absorption (with microvilli), secretion of mucus and enzymes
The Function of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Secretion and movement of mucus
The Function of Stratified Squamous Epithelium Protection against abrasion, pathogens, water loss
The Function of Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Protection, limited secretion
The Function of Stratified Columnar Epithelium Protection and secretion
The Function of Transitional Epithelium Allows distension and recoil
The location of Simple Squamous Epithelium Alveoli of lungs, lining of blood vessels (endothelium), serous membranes (mesothelium)
The location of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium Kidney tubules, glands and ducts
The location of Simple Columnar Epithelium lining of stomach and intestines (non-ciliated); uterine tubes (ciliated)
The location of Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Trachea, upper respiratory tract (ciliated); male reproductive ducts (non-ciliated)
The location of Stratified Squamous Epithelium Skin (keratinized); mouth, esophagus, vagina (non-keratinized)
The location of Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium Ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, salivary glands
The location of Stratified Columnar Epithelium Male urethra, conjunctiva of the eye, large ducts of some glands
The location of Transitional Epithelium Urinary bladder, ureters, part of urethra
Describe how does Hyperplasia tissues may change in form, size, or number of cells increase in cell number
