  • Front
  • Back
Cells have ______ and _____ surfaces
apical/basal
The apical cell surface may have
microvilli
Epithelial tissue are composed of tight junctions called
desmosomes
Epithelial tissue is supported by connective tissue called the
reticular lamina
Epithelial tissue is avascular but
innervated
"simple" is concerned with
secretion and filtration
'stratified"
concerned with protection
Simple squamous cells
allow passage of materials by diffusion and filtration
Simple cuboidal cells assist with
secretion and absorption
what is the effect of isoprenaline of blood pressure?
It increases systolic pressure due to its inotropic and chronotropic effects.

It decreases diastolic pressure due to its vasodilatory effects on the skeletal muscle vasculature
Simple columnar cells the nucleus is often where
closer to the basal membrane
pseudostratified columnar tissue assist with
secretion, particularly of mucus, propulsion by cillia
Stratified squamous epithelium
protects underlying tissues in areas subject to abrasion.
Keratinized stratified squamous
forms the epidermis of the skin
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous
forms the moist linings of the esophogus, mouth and vagina
Stratified cuboidal are found
in some sweat and mammary glands
Transitional epithelium
stretches readily and permits distension of urinary organ
Glandular Epithelia
one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid
Endocrine
ductless glands that produce hormones
Exocrine
secretes their products onto body surfaces or into body cavities via ducts
Goblet cells
only unicellular gland
Multicellular Exocrine Glands are classified according to
Duct type, structure of their secretory units
2 types of multicellular exocrine glands
merocrine
holocrine
Merocrine
products are secreted by exocytosis
Holocrine
products are secreted by the rupture of gland cells
4 classes of connective tissue
connectivie tissue proper
cartilage
bone tissue
blood
4 major functions of connective tissue
binding and support
protection
insulation
transportation
Connective tissue have cells separated by
nonliving extracellular matrix
Blasts are
mitotically active and secretory cells (baby cells)
Cytes
mature cells
Collagen fibers
strongest, most abundant type, high tensile strength
Elastic fibers
made of elastin
Reticular fibers
structure for something else to do it's job
4 Connective Tissue Classes
Connective Tissue Proper
Cartilage
Bone Tissue
Blood
2 subgroups of connective tissue proper
loose connective tissue
dense connective tissue
Loose connective tissue
areolar
adipose
reticular
Dense Connective Tissue
dense regular
dense irregular
elastic
Areolar tissue
wraps and cusions organs
Adipose Tissue
provides insulation, reserve food fuel, supports and protects organs
Reticular tissue
forms a soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types
Dense Connective Tissue Regular
attaches muscles to bones or to muscles, attaches bones to bones
withstands great tensile stress when pulling in one direction
aponeuroses
like a tendon but flat and thin
dense irregular connective tissue
able to withstand tension exerted in many directions
dense connective tissue elastic
allows recoil of tissue following stretching, maintains blood flow through arteries
Hyaline Cartilage
maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility
chondrocyte
cell
lacuna/ae
hole in cartilage
chond-
cartilage
fibrocartilage
tensile strength with ability to absorb compressive shock
bone
supports and protects provides levers for muscles to act on, stores calcium and other minerals
Blood
transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances
Nervous Tissue
Regulates and controls body functions
Neurons
highly specialized cells, with long cytoplasm extencions
Neuroglia
cells that protect support and insulate neurons
Everything has what kind of tissue connecting to it somehow
nervous
Skeletal Muscle
has to move quickly
voluntary
multinucleated
Cardiac Muscle
has to contract uniformly
involuntary
Smooth Muscle
propels substances
involuntary
gentle contractions
Myofiber
muscle cells
3 types of Epithelial Membranes
Cutaneous
Mucous
Serous
Mucous membrane
lines body cavities open to the exterior, keeps membranes moist
Serous Membrane
found in closed ventral body cavity
made up of parietal (internal walls) and Visceral (covers internal organs)
Regeneration
replacement of destroyed tissue with the same kind of tissue
Fibrosis
replacement of destroyed tissue with scar tissue
What type of tissue has no regeneration capacity
cardiac muscle, nervous tissue
What type of tissue has almost no regeneration capacity
skeletal muscle, cartilage
1st step for tissue repair
1) Inflammation: prepares the area for repair, releases inflammatory chemicals, dilates blood vessels, increases vessel permeability, clotting occurs
2cd step for tissue repair
Organization-blood clot is replaced with granulation tissue, fibroblasts produce collagen fibers to bridge the gap, debris is phagocytized, epithelium begins to regenerate
3rd step for tissue repair
Regeneration/fibrosis- scab detaches, fibrous tissue matures, epithelium thickens
3 Major regions of the skin
Epidermis
Dermis
Hypodermis
Epidermis 4 cell types
Keratinocytes
Melanocytes
Epidermal Dendritic Cell
Tactile/Merkel Cells
5 layers of epidermis
Stratum Basale
Stratum Spinosum

Which layer of the epidermis is found only in the soles and palms of feet and hands
Stratum Lucidum
