connective tissue

-support


-large amount of matrix; originates from mesenchyme; may possess fibers

epithelium tissue

-cover/lining


-avascular; associated with a basement membrane; apical and basal surfaces; great powers of regeneration; sparse extracellular matrix

muscle tissue

-movement


-well vascularized; elongated cells; possess actin and myosin filaments; can possess striations

nervous tissue

-communicating


-made in part of branching cells that respond to stimuli and transmit signals

simple squamous epithelium

single layer of flattened scalelike cells

pseudostratified columnar

single layer of cells that vary in height, with only the tall cells reaching he apical surface; nuclei at different levels; can contain goblet cells and cilia

transitional tissue

multiple layers of cells with apical cells possessing the ability to change shape

stratified squamous

multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened

simple columnar

single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide

keritanized stratified squamous location

skin

transitional location

lines the urinary bladder

simple squamous location

walls of the air sacs of the lungs and lining blood vessels

psuedostratefied ciliated columnar location

upper respiratory tract

simple cuboidal location

walls of smallest ducts of glands and kidney tubules

type of tissue in mammary glands

compound alveolar

type of tissue in salivary glands

compunt tubuloaveolar

type of tissue in intestinal glands

simple tubular

type of tissue in sebaceous glands

simple branched aleveolar

collagen fibers

the strongest and most abundant fibers; allow connective tissues to resist tension

reticular fibers

these short branching fibers cluster into delicate networks and have the ability to glide freely across one another whenever the network is pulled, allowing give

elastic fibers

these long, thin branching fibers form wide networks within the extracellular matrix and possess the ability to stretch and then return to their original length

mast cells

secrete histamin

chondroblasts

build cartilage; produces extracellular matrix of cartilage

fibroblast

produce collagen, elastic and reticular ribers


produces materials in connective issue proper

marcophages

phagocytic cells

adipocytes

store fat molecules

location of adipose tissue

hypodermis; in mesenteries; surrounding kidneys; posterior to eyeballs

location of elastic cartilage

supports external ear, epiglottis

location of dense regular connective tissue

ligamens; tendons; aponeruoses

location of fibrocartilage

intervertebral discs; pubis symphysis; menisci of knee joing

location of reticular tissue

bone marrow; spleen; lymph nodes

cutaneous membrane location

covers the outer surface of the body

mucous membrane location

lines inside of hollow organs that open to the body's exterior

serous membrane

lines the ventral body cavity walls and covers the ventral body cavity viscera

what tissue lines the walls of hollow organs

-smooth muscle tissue

what lines the walls of the heart

cardiac muscle tissue

what tissue is attached to bones

skeletal muscle tissue

skeletal muscle tissue

striated; multinucleated cells; long, large, cylindershaped cells

smooth muscle tissue

no striations; spindle shaped cells; uninucleated cells

cardiac muscle tissue

striated; branching cells; intercalated discs; generally uninucleated cells

dense regular connective tissue

primary tissue of ligaments and tendons

dense irregular connective tissue

primary tissue of the dermis

osteoblast

produces extracellular matrix of bone

Merkel cells

sensory receptor for touch

Langerhans cells

present antigens to the immune system

stratum basale

-single row of cells composed of keratinocyte stem cells, melanocytes, and Merkel cells


-bottom layer

stratum spinosum

-third level


-several cell layers thick, with intermediate filaments, keratinocytes and Langerhans cells

stratum granulosum

-second layer of skin


-3-5 layers of flattened keratinocytes possessing filaments and keratohyaline and lamellated granules

stratum lucidum

a thin, translucent band consisting of a few fows of flat, dead keratinocytes

stratum corneum

-top layer of the skin


-many cell layers of dead keratinocytes filled with keratin (outer most layer of skin)

primary tissue type in epidermis

keratinized stratefied squamous epithelium

primary tissue type in hypodermis

adipose connective tissue

primary tissue type in papillary layer of dermis

areolar connective tissue

primary tissue type in reticular layer of dermis

dense irregular connective tissue

sebaceous glands

-found all over the body except palms and soles


-secretes oil


-holocrine gland that secretes an oily substance called sebum to lubricate skin and hair

Eccrine Glands

-most abundant on the palms, soles and forehead


-produces sweat


-secrete hypotonic filtrate of blood (sweat)

apocrine sudoriferous sweat glands

-axillary, anal, genital regions


-components of sweat plus fatty substances and proteins

ceruminous glands

line the external ear canal


-components of earwax

mammary glands

pectoral region


-produces milk

basal cell carcinoma

least malignant form of skin cancer in which the stratum basale cells proliferate and invade the dermis and hypodermis, causing tissue destruction

squamous cell carcinoma

arises from the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum with lesions appearing as scaly, irregular, reddened small, rounded elevations that tend to grow rapidly and metastasize if not removed

melanoma

the "most dangerous form" or skin cancer because it is highly metastic; can originate wherever there is pigment, but often arises from existing moles, metastasizing rapidly into surrounded circulatory vessels

eczema

skin rashes resulting from allergic reactions

psoriasis

autoimmune condition resulting in an over proliferation of the epidermis, characterized by reddened epidermal papules covered with dry, silvery scales
