a ------ is a group of similiar cells joined together by their intercellular materials to perfrom a common function
|
tissue
|
|
tissues are the building blockes of
|
organs
|
|
the four primary tissues in the body are:
|
epithelial, muscle, connective, and nerve
|
|
epithelial tissue covers the body surface, ------- body cavaties and hollow organs and serves as the functional tissue of ------
|
line, and organs
|
|
epithelial is classified according to:
|
shape of individuial cell and arrangment of cells into layers
|
|
Shape of Epithelial cells:
|
squamous: scale like, pancake
cubodial: cubed shape columnar: taller than they are wide |
|
layers:
|
simple: one single layer
stratified: more than one layer pseudostratified: false layering, appears to have 2 layers but really only has 1 transitional epithelium: cells that undergo a change in shape depending on the tissue. |
|
modifications of Epithelium:
|
cilia: tiny hair like projections, lining respiratoy passage and fallopian tubes.
|
|
functions of Epithelium:
|
1) to protect body from damage
2) protects against water loss and bacteria 3) secrets products into blood stream 4) filters waste from the blood 5) absorption of digestive nutrients 6) specialazed sensory receptors |
|
a ------ is a single cell or cluster of specialazed epthelial cells grouped together to form a specific secretory function
|
gland
|
|
exocrine glands:
|
empty their product into a duct, which then carries the secretion to some other location
|
|
endocrine glands:
|
"duct less gland" that secrets their products directly into the blood stream
|
|
what is the most abundant tissue in the body?
|
connective tissue
|
|
what are the functions of a CT?
|
supporting, anchoring, and binding various parts of the body
|
|
In addition CT also...
|
forms the framework for organs, protects and serves as a storage for fats.
|
|
all CT has three things in common:
|
ground substance, fibers, and cells
|
|
Ground Substance: a homogenous, ------ material into which Ct fibers are embedded. It may be ----, fluid or a gel state. serves as an ------ matrix.
|
amphorus, solid, intercellular
|
|
3 types of fibers:
|
1) collagenous fibers
2) elastic fibers 3) reticular fibers |
|
most common fiber found in the CT is?
|
Collagenous
|
|
fibroblast-
|
"fiber forming cells" develop from fibrocytes and most common type of cell in the tissue
|
|
macrophages-
|
"large eating cells" remove dead cells
|
|
fat cells-
|
(adipocytes) looks like a signet ring
|
|
white blood cells-
|
leucocytes;destroy bacteria produce antibodies
they can leave the bloodstream |
|
pigment cells-
|
melanocytes; provide skin pigment
|
|
mast cells-
|
found near small blood vessels, release:
heporin, serotonin |
|
plasma cells-
|
formed during chronic inflammation. manufactures antibodies.
|
|
mesenchyme-
|
"mother of all connective tissue"
|
|
Mucous
|
(Whartons jelly) found in the unbilical cord, prevents kinking of the cord
|
|
cartilage CT are formed by cells called:
they are found in the matrix..... |
chondrocytes
lacuna |
|
the three types of cartilage are:
|
hyaline, elastic and fibrous
|
|
what is the most common type of cartilage:
|
hyaline
|
|
skin-integument is composed of what 2 layers:
|
epidermis and dermis
|
|
functions of skin:
|
1) protect from bacteria
2) sensation hot and cold 3) excretion removal of waste 4) regulate body temp. 5) vitamin d 6) provides a cosmetic appearance |
|
prophase:
|
first and longest phase
|
|
each half of the chromosome is called?
|
chromatid
|
|
each half is attached to a point called a....
|
centromere
|
|
during prophase the nucleus changes into the form of.....
|
chromosomes and the nucleus dissappears
|
|
the chromotads line themselves across the equator
|
metaphase
|
|
anaphase:
|
"the moving phase" forming a cleavage furrow
|
|
the chromatids reach the opposite sides of the cell
|
telopahse
|
|
not a stage of mitosis
|
interphase
|
|
the basic unit of structure and function in a living organism
|
the cell
|
|
prokaryotic cells lack what?
|
membrane-bound organelles
example: bacteria cells |
