what are the four types of tisues |
epithelial, muscle, connective, nervous |
|
what type of tissue consists almost entirely of cells, covers body surfaces and forms glands, has a basement membrane, and undergoes mitosis |
epithelial tissue |
|
what type of tissue protects underlying structures, permits the passage and secretes substances, and absorbs substances? |
epithelial tissue |
|
one layer of cells that extends from basement membrane to free surface |
simple |
|
more than one layer of cells |
stratified |
|
tissue that appears to be stratified but all cells contact basement membrane so it is in fact simple |
pseudostratified |
|
flat scale like cells |
squamous |
|
about equal in height and weight |
cubiodal |
|
taller than wide |
columnar |
|
cells shape that allows diffusion of gases, filtration of blood, secretion, absoption |
simple |
|
protection, particularly against abrasion |
stratified |
|
cells that allow diffusion/ act as a filter |
squamous |
|
cells that secretion or absorption |
cuboidal and columnar |
|
glands that have no open contact with exterior; no ducts; produce hormones unto bloodstream |
endocrine |
|
glands that have open contact maintained with exterior; ducts |
exocrine |
|
ducts with few branches |
simple |
|
ducts with many branches |
compound |
|
produce and secrete mucus |
goblet cells |
|
tissue classification is based on |
structure, function, and composition of extracellular matrix |
|
inner layer that forms lining of digestive tract |
endoderm |
|
middle layer that forms tissue such as bone, muscle, blood vessels |
mesoderm |
|
outer layer that forms cells |
ectoderm |
|
tissue that is found in every organ, has many diverse types, and its cells are sepperated by large amounts of extracellular matrix |
connective |
|
nonliving chemical substance |
extracellular matrix |
|
functions are to enclose organs as a capsule and sepperate organs into layers; support and movement; storage; cushion and insulate; transport; protect; connect tissues to one another |
connective |
|
connect muscles to bone |
tendons |
|
connect bones to bones |
ligaments |
|
make the extracellular matrixq |
blasts |
|
cell maintains the matrix |
cytes |
|
breaks down the matrix for remodeling |
clasts |
|
respond to injury or infectioin |
white blood cells |
|
insulates and is an energy source |
adipose |
|
most common protein in the body: strong, flexible, not flexible |
collagen |
|
fills spaces between organs and tissues |
reticular |
|
contain molecules of protein that resemble coiled springs |
elastin |
|
loose connective tissue between skin and muscle; cushions joints |
adipose |
|
no blood flow |
avascular |
|
avascular and no nerve supply; firm, tough, slightly compressive |
cartliage |
|
rich blood supply |
vascular |
|
vascular; matrix gives strength and rigidity; hard connective tissue composed of living cells and mineralized matrix |
bone |
|
bone contains what kind of fiber |
collagen |
|
the 3 parts that are in blood plasma are |
red cells, white cells, platelets |
|
blood matrixq |
plasma |
|
what type of tissue is found in bone marrow and forms blood cells? |
hemopoietic cells |
|
red marrow produces |
red and white blood cells |
|
white marrow produces |
adipose |
|
tissue that contracts or shortens with force; moves entire body and pumps blood |
muscle |
|
muscle tissue that is attached to the skeleton; it is striated and voluntary |
skeltal |
|
muscle of the heart; striated and involuntary |
cardiac |
|
muscle associated with tubular structures and the skin; nonstriated and involuntary |
smooth |
|
neurons |
nerve cells |
|
3 parts of a neuron |
cell body, axon, dendrites; |
|
part of neuron that contains the nucleus |
cell body |
|
part of neuron that conducts impulses away from cell body; usually only one |
axon |
|
part of neuron that receives impulses from other neurons; may be multiple of them |
dendrites |
|
what lines cavities that opens to the outside of the body, is found in respiratory digestive urinary reproductive system, and produces mucus |
mucous |
|
line cavaties/ internal organs |
serous |
|
line freely moving joints |
synovial |
|
inflammation is a response to |
tissue damage or an immune response |
|
symptoms of inflammation |
redness, heat, swelling, pain, disturbance of function |
|
when the edges of a wound are close together |
primary union |
|
primary union steps |
wound fills with blood |
|
what are some of the things that happen to your tissue when you age |
rate of cell synthesis declines; tendons and ligaments become more fragile and less elastic; wrinkling of the skin; increased tendency for bones to break; injuries heal slower |
