53 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Epithelial tissue
Avascular (no blood suppy)
covers the surface, lines cavities, and form glands
has nerves
Connective Tissue
Supports and form framework of body
consist of ligament, bones, cartilage, and blood
Muscle Tissue
Contracts and allows movements.
consist of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
Nervous Tissue
Transmit impluse for coordination, regulate, intergration, and sensory reception
Simple Epthelium Tissue
one cell thinkness (single layer)
maximize transport (absorbtion/transfer) of substance across the membrane
Pseudostratified Epthelium Tissue
gives the apparence of stratified.
protects, secretion, and movement of mucus and substance

found in respiratory passage (trachea)
Simple squamous epthelium
(flat, rough edge) easy diffusion of gases from one area to another.

located: air sac of lungs, walls of capillaries, lining of blood and lymph vessels.
Simple Cuboidal epthelium
(cube-shaped) secretion and absorbtion

located on the surface of ovaries, lining of kidney tubules, and lining od ducts of certain galnds
Simples Columnary epthelium
(stacked in columns - cytoplasm)
protects, absorbtion, and secretion

located: lining of uterus, stomach, and intestines
Stratified Squmous Epthelium
(flattens as they get closer to the surface)

Located: outter layer of skin, lining of oral cavity, vigina, and anal canal.
(flatten because they are dehydrated)
Stratified Cuboidal epthelium
Protection.

Found in mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas
Stratified Columnar
Protection and secretion

located: male urethra and parts of the pharynx
Transitional epthelium
(dome shaped)
Distensibility and protects

located: lining of urinary bladder

they stretch out to hold urine (expand)
Glandular Epthelium
Secretion

located: salivary gland, sweat gland, and endocrine glands
Exocrine glands
Glands that secrete their protucts so they can exit the cell
Endocrine glands
glands that secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood (hormones -> blood stream)
types of glandular secretion
Merocrine, Apocrine, and Holocrine
Merocrine
A fluid product released through the cell membrance by exocytosis
Apocrine
Glands that lose small portion of their glandular cell bodies during secretion
Holocrine
Glands that release entire cells
Connective Tissue
Blood supplied
fibroblast
Cells that eject fiber (proteins) into extra cellular tissue
Macrophages
(big eaters) eats up whatever that does not look like it belongs
Mass cells
release heparin (a compound that prevents blood clotting)

thin the blood
Heparin
a compound that prevents blood clotting
Connective tissue fibers
collagenous, elastic, and reticular
Collagenous Fibers
Thick threads of protein collagen.

apart of ligaments(connect bones to bones) and tendons (muscles to bones)
collagen
the major structral protein of the body
Elastic Fibers
composed of springlike proteins (elastin)

allows maximum movement
Reticular Fibers
thin collagenous fibers

forms supportive networks within tissues
Connective Tissue proper
loose connective tissue (areolar, adipose, reticular) and Dense connective tissue (dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic)
Specialized Connective Tissue
Cartilage, Bones, and Blood
Areolar Tissue
Form delicate, thin membranes throughout the body (fibroblast)

binds the skin to the underlying organs and fill space between muscle
Adipose Tissue
(fats) developes when certain cell (adipocytes) store fats in droplets in their cytoplasm
Reticular Connective Tissue
Thin, collagenous fibers in a 3-dimensional network

provides framework for internal parts( liver, spleen, etc.)
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Thick, collagenous fibers.

found in the tendons and ligaments (flexablilty and strength)
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Thicker, interwoven, and more randomly organized (dermis, inner skin layer)
Elastic Connective Tissue
Consist of yellow, elastic fibebrs
(found in attachments between bones of the spinal column and layers within the walls of certain hollow internal organs)
Cartilage
A ridge connective tissue

provides support, framework, and attachment
Chondrocytes
occupy small chambers called lacunae and lie completely within the extracellular matrix
Hyaline Cartilage
dense matrix;

located at the ends of the bones and joints, and soft parts of the nose
Elastic Cartilage
Flexible than hyaline.

provides framework for the external ears and parts of the larynx
Fibrocartilage
tough tissue; gives little movement.

cushion the bones in the knee and pelvic girdle.

shock absorbor
Bones
(osseous tissue) more ridge connective tissue
osteon
tree trunk (bones)
Haversian (central) Canal
Provides a pathway to and from solid tissue

allows nutrients to go from one end to the other end of the bone.
Lamellae
Layer on the osteon,

forms concentric patterns
Lacunae
Spaces occupied by bone cells.

one the osteoblast are in the lacunea, they become osteocytes, osteocytes form concentric circles
Canaliculi
channels; pathways for blood

supply nutrient communication from one to another.
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Striation: ability to move (vouluntary muscle tissue)
Voluntary Muscle Tissue
conscious effort (controlled): skeletal muscle
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Striated and Branched; are joined end-to-end

intercalated disc (where one cell touched another cell)

y-shaped helps with holding it together

involuntarily
Smooth
Not striation, involuntarily

found in the digestive (helps food to move)
