Question
Answer
Four Types of Tissue   1. Connective tissue (connect) 2. Muscle tissue (contract) 3. Epithelial tissue (cover) 4. Nervous tissue (conduct) (CMEN)  
🗑
Functions of Epithelial Tissue   Forms a barrier between 2 compartments. Functions: physical protection, selective permeability, secretion, sensation. Covers & Lines stuff. Ex: Outermost layer of skin.  
🗑
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue   Cellularity: minimal ECF. Polarity: apical and basal layers. Attachment: Basal bound to basement membrane. Avascular: nutrients from underlying CT. Innervation: Has nerve endings. Regeneration: High rate via mitosis.  
🗑
Epithelial Tight Junctions   Continuous sealed plasma membranes near apical surface.  
🗑
Epithelial Adhering Junctions   Typically located deep to tight junctions.  
🗑
Epithelial Desmosomes   Provides resistance at a single stress point. Scattered. (Looks like a bad sewing job).  
🗑
Epithelial Gap Junctions   Direct passageway for small molecules to travel between cells.  
🗑
Epithelial first name   Number of cell layers: Simple, Stratified, or pseudostratified.  
🗑
Epithelial second name   Shape of cells: Squamous (flat), Cuboidal (cubed/square), Columnar (tall, skinny).  
🗑
Simple Squamous Epithelium   Functions: Diffusion, Filtration. Locations: Lung air sacs (alveoli), lining of blood vessels, serous membranes. Gas exchange; weak.  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium   Functions: Absorption, Secretion.  
🗑
Simple Columnar Epithelium   Functions: Absorption, Secretion, Movement-created by cillia on apical surface. Cillia move whatever is around the cell. Some are ciliated and some aren't.  
🗑
Stratified Squamous Epithelium   Function: Protection. Location: Lining of the oral cavity, Pharynx, Esophagus, Vagina, Anus, Epidermis of skin (keratinized).  
🗑
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium   Functions: Protection, Movement.  
🗑
Transitional Epithelium   Functions: Distention and relaxation of urinary structures. Locations: Ureters, bladder, urethra.  
🗑
Glands   Made up of epithelial tissue. Exocrine: ducts secrete material onto an epithelial surface. Endocrine: ductless. Cells secrete products into interstitial fluid and bloodstream.  
🗑
Types of Exocrine glands.   Merocrine, Holocrine, Apocrine (Know pictures).  
🗑
Merocrine Glands   Secrete via vesicles. Lacrimal, salivary, gastric, pancreatic, and ECCRINE SWEAT GLANDS-almost all water.  
🗑
Holocrine Glands   Entire cell disintegrates. Sebaceous glands (oil glands ex: skin, hair).  
🗑
Apocrine glands   Secrete by cell decapitation. Mammary and apocrine sweat glands. breasts, armpits & anogenital region. Thicker sweat w/ protein and fat-food for bacteria.  
🗑
Types of Connective Tissue   Common embryonic origin: mesenchyme. 1. Connective tissue proper 2. Cartilage 3. Bone 4. Blood  
🗑
Functions of Connective Tissue   Physical protection, support and structural framework, Binding of structures, Storage of calcium and fat, Transport of nutrients, hormones, and gasses, Immune protection.  
🗑
Characteristics of Connective Tissue   Cells: not in direct contact with each other. Float in ECM. Extracellular Matrix: Ground substance consists of proteins, carbohydrates, and water. Protein fibers offer strength and support. Collagen, elastic, and reticular.  
🗑
Collagen   Long, skinny, strong. Can tear.  
🗑
Elastic   Rubberband like. Not very strong. Give flexibility to a tissue.  
🗑
Reticular   Branched protein. In between.  
🗑
Connective Tissue Proper (2 subsections)   1. Loose CT 2. Dense CT  
🗑
Loose Connective Tissue   Areolar: Surrounding vessels, nerves, etc. Sponge like. Adipose: subcutaneous layer, surrounding organs. fat. Reticular: inside lymphatic organs. Branched support, holds organs together.  
🗑
Dense Connective Tissue   Regular: Tendons, ligaments. Strong in 1 direction, weak in another. parallel lines. Irregular: dermis of skin. Strong in every direction. Elastic: Walls of large arteries. support, flexibility.  
🗑
Scurvy   Caused by vitamin C deficiency. Normal collagen fibers can't form. Weakens gums, teeth, bones, & internal mucosa. Wounds and fractures don't heal well. Prevalent among sailors.  
🗑
Marfan Syndrome   Genetic. Abnormal gene on chromosome 15. Abnormalities in fibrillin, collagen, & elastin. Causes skeletal, vision, cardio, and connective tissue abnormalities. Tall & thin w/ long legs, arms, fingers & toes. Die by age 50 due to heart weakness. Elastic.  
🗑
Gangrene   Caused by lack of blood flow, mechanical injury, bacterial infection, or diabetes. Dry, wet: covered in bodily fluids, gas: deep in muscle, creates bubbles.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
