groups of cells with similar structure and function

tissues

what are the 4 primary tissues?

epithelial


connective


muscle


nervous

where is epithelial tissue located?

body coverings (skin)


body linings (stomach lining)


glandular tissue (sweat glands)

what are the functions of epithelial tissue?

protection


absorption


filtration


secretion

cells that fit closely together and often form sheets

epithelial tissue

The apical (top) surface is the __________ surface of the tissue.

free (not attached)

The lower surface of the epithelium rests on a ____________ membrane.

basement

what does avascular mean?

no blood supply

Epithelial tissue is ___________.

acascular

can regenerate easily if well nourished

epithelial tissues

basal

bottom

apical

top

one layer

simple

more than one layer

stratified

flattened

squamous

cube shapped

cubodial

column like

columner

single layer of flat cells


usually forms membranes


-lines body cavities


-lines lungs & capillaries

simple squamous

single layer of cube like cells


common in glands and their ducts


forms walls of kidney tubules


covers ovaries

simple cubodial

single layer of tall cells


often includes mucus- producing goblet cells


lines digestive tract

simple columner

single layer but some cells are shorter than others


often looks like double layer of cells


sometimes ciliated, such as respiratory tract


may function in absorption or secretion

pseudo-stratified columner

cells at the apical surface are flattened


found as a protective covering where friction is common


locations


-skin


-mouth


-esophagus

stratified squamous

two layers of cuboidal cells

stratified cubodial

surface cells are columnar, cells underneath vary in size and shape

stratified columner

________ are rare in the human body and are found mainly in ducts (glands)

both

shape of cells depends on the amount of stretching


lines organs of the urinary system

transitional epithelial

one or more cells responsible for secreting a particular product


found in two major glands

glandular epithelial

glandular epithelium is found in what two glands?

endocrine and exocrine

ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels

endocrine

secretions empty through ducts to the epithelial surface


include sweat and oil glands

exocrine glands

found everywhere in the body


includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues

connective tissues

bonds body tissues together


supports the body


provides protection

functions of connective tissue

variation in blood supply


extracellular matrix

connective tissue characteristics

non living material that surrounds living cells

extracellular matrix

made of ground substance, adhesion proteins, and polysaccharide molecules

extracellular matrix

made of adhesion proteins, and polysaccharide molecules

what are extracellular matrix’s made of?

ground substance and fibers

what are the 3 types of fibers

collagen, elastic, recticular fibers

composed of bone cells in luncunae (cavities)


hard matrix of calcium salts


large # of collagen fibers


used to protect and support the body

bone (osseous) tissue

most common type of cartilage


composed of abundant collagen fibers and a rubbery matrix

hyaline cartilage

where is hyaline cartilage found?

larynx


entire fetal skeleton prior to birth

provides elasticity


supports the external ear

elastic cartilage

highly compressible


forms cushion like discs between the vertebrae

fibrocartilage

main matrix element is collagen fibers


fibroblasts

dense connective (fibrous) tissue

cells that make fibers

fibroblasts

where is dense connective tissue located

tendons


ligament


dermis

attach skeletal muscle to bone

tendons

attach bone to bone at joints

ligaments

lower layer of the skin

dermis

most widely distributed connective tissue


soft, pliable tissue like cobwebs


functions as a packing tissue


contains all fiber types


can soak up all excess fluid (causes edema)

areolar tissue

matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate


many cells contain large lipid deposits

adipose tissue

what are the functions of adipose tissue?

insulates body


protects some organs


serves as a site for fuel storage

delicate network of interwoven fibers


forms stroma (internal supporting network) of lymphoid organs

reticular connective tissue

where is recticular connective tissue located?

lymph nodes


spleen


bone marrow

blood cells surrounded by fluid matrix called blood plasma


fibers are visible during clotting


functions as the transport vehicle for materials

blood (vascular tissue)

main function is to produce movement

muscle tissue

what are the 3 types of muscle tissues?

skeletal


cardiac


smooth

under voluntary control


contracts to pull on bones or skin


produce gross (big or overall) body movements the facial expressions

skeletal muscle

striated (striped)


multinucleate (more than 1 nucleus)


long, cylindrical

characteristics of skeletal muscle cells

under involuntary muscle


found in walls of hollow organs such as stomach, uterus, and blood vessels

smooth muscle

no visible striations (stripes)


one nucleus per cell


spindle shapes cells (taffy being pulled on a machine)

characteristics of smooth muscle cells

composed of neurons and nerve support cells


function is to send impulses to other areas of the body

nervous tissue

get it

irritability

transmit it

conductivity

replacement of destroyed tissue by the same kind of cells

regeneration

repair by dense (fibrous) connective tissue (scar tissue)

fibrosis

how is the determination of the method of tissue repair found?

type of tissue damaged
