what is a tissue?
organization of similar cells that work together
what are the 4 primary tissue types?
muscle, nervous,connective and epithelial
where are epithelial tissue located?
they cover exposed surfaces, line internal cavities/tubes and form the glands of the body
what are epithelial tissue functions?
protection, absorption and secretion
what are the characteristics of epithelial tissue?
they are either simple(one layer thick) or stratified(more than one layer thick)
what are differing shapes of epithelial cells?
squamous,cubodial,or columnar
where can simple squamous epithelium be found?
lining ventral cavities, blood vessels and the heart
where can stratified squamous epithelium be found?
epidermis
simple cubodial epithelium is found where?
kidney tubules, pancreas, thyroid gland and salivary glands
where can stratified cubodial epithelium be found?
sweat glands and mammory glands
where can simple columnar epithelium be found?
lining the stomach, intestines and uterine tubes
psuedostratified columnar epithelium is known for what characteristics?
single layer of cells with differing heights of which all do not reach the free surface.
where can psuedostratified columnar epithelium be found?
lining the respiratory tract from nasal cavity to bronchi.
how do exocrine galnds secrete there secretions?
through ducts onto a surface
what secretion do endocrine glands release into the blood stream?
hormones
what is the most abundant and widespread sweat gland and through which process does it release its secretion?
the merocrine gland releases sweat through exocytosis
what are apocrine gland secretions?
lactiferous glands of breasts and axillary sweat glands
name a holocrine gland secretion.
oil from the sebacious glands of the scalp and certain eyelid glands
what are the membrane to membrane methods with which cells attach?
tight junctions, gap junctions and desmosomes
what are the three types of muscle tissue?
skeletal,smooth and cardiac
tissue that has the ability to contract is known as what?
muscle tissue
what tissue has the following characteristics: voluntary in there control, striated in appearance and multinucleated? ability to
skeletal muscle tissue
what muscle tissue has the following characteristics:forms the walls of hollow digestive organs, are involuntary in there control,non-striated in appearance and uninucleated?
smooth muscle tissue
involuntary in control,striated in appearance, single nucleated with intercalated connective discs?
cardiac muscle tissue
protein fibers and ground substance
matrix(space)
what are the names that connective tissue are classified under?
connective tissue proper, fluid connective tissue and supporting connective tissue
widely distributed under the epithelia of the body?
areolar connective tissue
gel-like matrix with all three fiber types, fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells and some wbc's
areolar connective tissue
network of reticular fibers in a loose ground sustance?
reticular connective tissue
fibers form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types including wbc's, mast cells and macrophages. found in lymph organs.
reticular connective tissue
primarily parallel collagen fibers with a few elastin fibers whose major cell type is fibroblast
dense regular connective tissue
attaches muscles to bone and bone to bone
dense regular connective tissue
primarily irregularly arranged collagen fibers whose major cell type is fibroblast. dermis of the skin
dense irregular connective tissue
chondroblasts produce the matrix and when mature(chondrocytes) lie in lacunea
hyaline cartilage connective tissue
covers the end of long bone in joint cavities, form the costal cartilage of the rib, cartilages of the nose, trachea and larynx.
hyaline
which supporting connective tissue maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility. supports the external ear, and is also found in the epiglottis.
elastic supporting connective tissue
supportive connective tissue that can be found in between intervertebral discs and absorbs compressive shock?
fibrocartilage
very well vascularized connective tissue type.Hard calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers and in which osteocytes lie in lacunea
osseous connective tissue
red and wbc's in fluid matrix(plasma)
blood connective tissue
specialized tissue that allows for the conduction of an impulse.
nueral(nervous)tissue
what are the types of membranes?
mucous, serous, cutaneous and synovial
what are the three serous membranes?
pericardium, peritoneum and pleurea
which membrane consists of a 1)an epithelium, 2)an areolar connective tissue layer called lamina propria and 3) sometimes a smooth muscle layer called muscularis mucosea
mucous membrane
cover joints of the skeletal system?
synovial membrane
functions include the following:protection,thermoregulation,excretion and vit. d synthesis
integumentary system
what are the major regions of the skin?
epidermis, dermis and hypodermis
what is the tissue composition of the hypodermis?
primarily loose connective with abundant adipose tissues
outermost or top epidermal layer consisting of 20-30 cell layers
stratum corneum
cells in this epidermal layer are dead flattened scalelike remnants and fully keratinized
stratum corneum
a very thin tranlucent band of flattened dead keratinocytes found only in thick skin
stratum lucidum
at the upper border of this epidermal layer cells are starting to die
stratum granulosum
in most places this is the thickest layer of the epidermis and is named because of cells spiny appearance
stratum spinosum
deepest layer of epidermis attached to the basement membrane
stratum basale or germinativum
stem cells(active mitosis), melanocytes, merkel (sensory) cells and dendritic(macrophages) are contained within which epidermal layer?
stratum germinativum(basale)
contains a variety of blood vessels, nerve endings,glandular epithelia,hair structures and nail roots
dermis
upper layer of dermis and for attachment of epidermis
papillary layer
