QuestionAnswer
Epithelial Tissue large sheets of cells covering all body surfaces and lining the outside of organs
Epithelial Tissue Covering & lining epithelia and Glandular epithelia
Covering & Lining epithelia on external and internal surfaces (ex: skin)
Glandular epithelia secretory tissue in glands (ex: salivary glands)
Cell Junctions' goal to glue cell tg to prevent shedding
Tight Junctions extremely strong; don't allow exchange
Gap Junctions has a door for passage for exchange of materials; extremely weak
Desmosome strong; allow certain materials exchanged
Desmosome connect epithelial cells on skin; ex: GI tract
Loose CT types Areolar, Adipose, Reticular
Reticular Loose CT structural framework; ex: liver & spleen
Dense CT types Regular & Irregular
Regular DCT movements in one direction
Irregular tissue allow stretching in multiple directions
Loose CT spaces between components & CT
Dense limited/ no space
CT cells Mesenchymal, Fibroblasts, Adipocytes, & Macrophages
Mesenchymal Cell main type; mother cell; responsible for making CT
Fibroblasts produce fibers
Adipocytes fat cells
Macrophages kill bacteria, clean debris; immune cells
Matrix medium where cell and fibers live w/in
Matrix make up of protein & sugars
Collagen Fibers thick and provide tensile strength; overtime they will become loose
Elastic Fibers allow stretching; allow tissue to return its original stretch; ex: aorta
Reticular Fibers structural support; framework
Muscle Tissue excitable & contractile
Excitable respond to a stimulus
Contractile can shorted & generate a pulling force
Skeletal muscle appearance Cylinder & elongated; straited
Skeletal muscle # of nucleus multinucleated
Skeletal muscle control voluntary
Skeletal muscle location around bones
Skeletal muscle functions body movement
Cardiac muscle appearance rectangular and straited; branched
Cardiac muscle control voluntary
Cardiac muscle location heart
Cardiac muscle functions blood movement
Cardiac muscle intercalated disc strong attachment between cells
Smooth muscle appearance spindle shape and non-straited
Smooth muscle control involuntary
Smooth muscle location walls of hollow organs (stomach, blood, vessels, intestines, etc.)
serous membrane pleura cover lungs
mucous membrane line the inner body cavities; immune function; anything that comes from outside of body
apical surface usually opens in a space
basal surface usually touches the connective tissue
polarity certain organelles are always down & certain organelles are always up.
simple squamous epithelium flattened & thin; gas exchange
stratified (multiple layers) squamous epithelium epidermis; protection; ex: skin & tongue
Simple cuboidal epithelium box-like; active in secretion and absorption of molecules; found in glands & kidney; help in secretion
Simple columnar epithelium found in intestines, tall; absorption & secretion of molecules; forms the lining of some sections of the GI system; located in the basal end of cells
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium false stratified; diff positions at all times; found in trachea, reproductive tracts, & ureters
Transitional epithelial tissue cell changes shapes; ex: bladder
Glandular Epithelia exocrine & endocrine
Cartilage chondrocyte
Lacunae space cartilages occupy
Hyaline a type of cartilage; glass-like strong & flexible CTs; in rib cages & bone ends
Hyaline strong under pressure; most common; short & dispersed collagen fibers
Elastic Cartilage rigid support & elasticity, weaker under pressure; in nose & ear
Fibrocartilage strongest under pressure; run in bundles; in knee joints & intervertebral discs
Tissue types epithelial, connective, muscle, & nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, & sensory reception
Epithelium cells gatekeepers of body; allowing selective transfer of materials across a physical barrier
Basal lamina a mix of glycoproteins & collage; attached to basement membrane provided by CT
Epithelial Tissue avascular, generation
Endocrine gland secrete in the area around that will diffuse through the blood; ex: thymus, adrenal cortex, & gonads
Exocrine gland secrete into a duct "sewer system"
Matrix # amounts of ground substance
CT cells, matrix, & protein fibers
Fibroblasts most abundant cell in CT proper; responsible for the extra-cellular matrix
Mesenchymal cell can differentiate into any type of CT needed for repair and healing of damaged tissue
Cartilage avascular Ct that contain polysaccharides called chondroitin sulfates
Bone (Osseous) hardest CT; provides protection to internal organs & body support
Blood & Lymph fluid CT; transport nutrients, salts, & wasted throughout the body
Intercalated discs specialized cell junctions
Contraction responsible for involuntary movements in the internal organs
Nervous Tissue Neuron & Neuroglia
Cutaneous Membrane Epithelia membrane; ex: skin
Cutaneous Membrane stratified squamous epithelial membrane resting on top of CT
Mucous Membrane made of CT & epithelia tissue; line the body cavities & hollow passageways that open to the external environment.
Serous Membrane Epithelial membrane that is supported by CT; line the cavities that don't open to the outside
Stratified squamous ET found in areas of high friction and causes areas to become thicker to protect from damage
Pseudo-stratified columnar lining the small & large intestine & designed to absorb nutrients into the blood steam & create mucous to lubricate the digestive tract.
Skeletal tissue location attached to bones/skin
Stratified squamous ET location mouth/vagina, epidermis
Adipose loose CTP location breasts abdomen, eyes, & kidneys
Areolar loose CTP function wrap/cushions organs, inflame
Elastic cartilage location External Ear, Epiglottis
simple squamous ET function secretes lubrication in serosae
simple squamous ET location serosae, air sacs, heart lining
simple cuboidal ET location kidney tubules, ovary surface
irregular dense CTP location skin dermis, joints, d-tract
reticular loose CTP location lymphoid orangs (spleen, marrow)
regular dense CTP location tendons, ex: ligaments
