4 types of tissue
Epithelial, muscular, connective, nervous.
Major functions of Epithelium
Physical protection, Controls Permeability, Provides sensation, Produce secretions, Absorption.
Characteristics of Epithelium
Cellularity, Polarity, Avascularity, Attachment, Arranged.
Characteristics of Connective tissue
Specialized cells, extracellular protection, fluid-ground substance.
Locations of Areolar loose connective tissue-
Found in the hypodermis; and covered by epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tract.
Functions of Areolar loose connective tissue-
Cushions organs; provides support but permits independent movement.
Locations of Reticular loose connective tissue-
Liver, kidney, spleen.
Functions of the Reticular loose connective tissue-
Forms the structural framework for the spleen.
Locations of Irregular Dense connective tissue
Capsules of visceral organs; nerve and muscle sheaths; dermis.
Fuctions of Irregular Dense connective tissue.
Provides strength; helps prevent overexpansion of organs such as the urinary bladder
Locations of Regular Dense connective tissue-
Between skeletal muscles and skeleton; between bones.
Functions of Regular Dense connective tissue-
Provides firm attachment; reduces friction between muscles; stabilizes portions of bones.
Locations of Elastic Dense connective tissue
Found in the walls of arteries, between vertebrae, and in the ligaments supporting the penis.
Locations of Hyaline cartilage
Between tips of ribs and bones of sternum; covering bones at synovial joints. Also suppots larynx.
Functions of Hyaline Cartilage
Provides flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces.
Locations of Elastic Cartilage
Auricle of ear; epiglottis.
Functions of Elastic Cartilage
Provides support, but tolerates distoration without damage.
Locations of Fibrous Cartilage
Pads within knee joint; between puboc bones; intervertibral discs.
Functions of Fibrous Cartilage
Resists compression; prevents bone to bone contact.
Locations of Osseous tissue
Bone
Locations of smooth muscle
Walls of blodd vessels and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs.
Functions of smooth muscle
Moves food, urine, and reporoductive tract secretions. Controls respiratory passageways; regulates blood vessels.
Locations of Simple Squamous epithelium
Lining of the heart, and blood vessels; kidney tubules, inner layer of cornea; lungs.
Functions of Simple Squamous Epithelium
Reduces friction; controls vessel permeability; performs absorption and secretion.
Locations of Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Surface of skin, lining of the mouth, throat, esophagus, anus, vagina.
Functions of Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Provides physical protection against abrasion, and pathogens.
Locations of Simple Columnar Epithelium
Lining of stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes.
Functions of Simple Colomnar Epithelium
Protection, secretion, absorption.
Locations of Stratified Colomnar Epithelium
Areas of pharynx, epiglottis, anus, urethra.
Functions of Stratified Columnar Epithelium
Protection of skin and structure.
Locations of Simple Cubodial Epithelium
Glands; ducts; kidney tubules, thyroid gland.
Functions of Simple Cubodial Epithelium
Limited protection, secretion, and absorption.
Locations of Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium
Lining of some ducts.
Functions of Stratified Cubodial Epithelium
Protection, secretion, absorption.
Locations of Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Nose, trachea, bronchi.
Functions of the Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Protection, secretion.
Locations of Transitional Epithelium
Bladder, ureters.
Functions of Transitional Epithelium
Allows expansion and recoils after stretching.
Cutaneous membrane is found within
an unerlying layer of areolar and dense connective tissue. Also found in keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
Epidermal layer- top:
Stratum corneum-multiple layers of flattened, dead interlocking keratinocytes. Dry, and water resistant.
Epidermal layer-2nd layer:
Stratum Lucidum-appears as a "glassy" layer in thick skin only.
Epidermal layer-3rd layer:
Stratum Granulusum-Keratin fibers develop cells and become thinner and flatter.
Epidermal layer-4th layer:
Stratum Spinosum- keratinocytes are bound together.
Epidermal layer-5th layer:
Stratum Germinativum-Innermost, basal layer.
Cutanous Membrane contains:
Epidermis; dermis.
Dermis contains:
Papillary layer-nourishes and supports epidermis.
Reticular layer-Restricts spread of pathogens penetrating through.
Accessory structures contain:
Hair follicles; Exocrine glands; nails.
Exocrine glands contain:
Sebaceuos glands-secrete oil lipid that coats hair; sweat glands.
In sweat glands-
Apocrine sweat glands-axilla, groin, nipples.
Merocrine sweat glands-Widespread in thermoregulation.
The packaging organelle of the cytoplasm is called:
Golgi Aparatus
In the cytoplasm, the site of lipid synthesis is in the:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
The plama membrane is made up of a:
Lipid bilayer with both integral and peripheral proteins.
Functional difference of Simple eplithelium, and stratified epithelium:
Simple-reduces friction, and performs absorption & secretion.
Stratified-provides physical protection agains pathogens.
