|
groups of cells similiar
in structure and function |
|
tissue types
|
epithelium,connective,
nervous,muscle |
|
organ
|
structure of 2 or more tissues
that perform a cerain function for the body |
|
histology
|
the study of tissues
|
|
describe epithelial
tissue, epithelium |
covers surfaces
|
|
epithelial functions
|
protection, absorbtion, filtration,
excretion,secretion and sesory reception |
|
characteristics of
epithelial tissue |
cells sheetlike,polarity 1 free
surface,supported by connective tissue,no blood supply,regeneration |
|
kinds of epithlia
|
simple, statified,
squamous(scalelike), cubodial,columnar, pseudostratified, transitional |
|
epithelial tissue
that is vascular |
glandular epithelia
|
|
epithelial cells forming
glands specialize in |
remove materials from the
blood and manufacture into new materials |
|
2 types of glands
|
endocrine, and
exocrine glands |
|
endocrine gland
|
ductless gland
secretions all hormones are exturded directly into blood |
|
exocrine glands
|
retain ducts secretions empty
through ducts to epithelial glands include sweat,oil,liver pancreas both external and internal |
|
ground substance
|
interstitial fluid, cell adhesion
protein,proteoglycans may be liquid gel-like or hard |
|
connective tissue
function |
protect, support, and bind
together other tissues of body |
|
osseous tissue
|
protect and support other
body tissues connective |
|
dense connective tissue
|
ligaments and tendons
bind bones together skeletal muscles to bones connectivef` |
|
areolar connective tissue
|
soft packaging material
cushions and protects body organs connective |
|
adipose tissue
|
fat tissue provides insulation
and source of stored food connective |
|
hematopoietic tissue
|
blood forming replenishes
the body's supply of red blood cells connective |
|
charecteristics of
connective tissue |
cartiliages=avascular
tendons and ligaments poor vacularization other rich supply of blood vessels |
|
extracellular matrix
|
nonliving material
between cells seen in connective tissue |
|
fibers that provide
support to connective tissue |
collagen(white) elastic(yellow)
reticular(fine collagen) collagen most abundant |
|
mast cell
|
large darkly staining
granules in its cytoplasm |
|
muscle tissue
|
highly specialized to
contract and produces most types of body movement |
|
cardiac muscle
|
found in heart has
striations cardiac cells branching unincleate cells fit at intercalated discs involuntary control |
|
skeletal muscle
|
attached to skeleton
voluntary control cells are long,cylindrical and multinucleated |
|
smooth muscle
|
visceral found in walls
of hollow organs(digestive and urinary,uterus, blood vessels |
|
types of muscle
tissue |
smooth,cardiac,
skeletal |
|
types of connective
tissue |
(bone)osseous, dense,
areolar,adipose,hematopoietic |
|
nervous tissue
major cell populations |
neuroglia and neurons
|
|
neuroglia
|
protect, support,
and insulate more delicate neurons |
|
neurons
|
highly specialized to
receive stimuli and conduct waves of impulses to all parts of body |
