Multi-layered tissue. Cells along Basement membrane are active and dividing. Basal cells are cubodial/comlumnar as they mature and are pushed to the surface they become squamous cells. What Epi tissue?
|
Stratified Squamous
|
|
Name the Location and Function of Stratified Squamous Epithelium?
|
L/ Lining of mouth, esophagus, vagina.
F/ Protects underlying tissue is areas prone to abrasion. |
|
Many layers
basal-cubodial Superficial/ columnar L/ Large mammary ducts F/ Secretion/ protection |
Stratified cubodial Epi.
|
|
1.Appears stratified
2.Nuclei are found at different levels 3.Vary in Shape & Height 4.Each cell forms an attachment w/ basement membrane |
Pseudostratified Epithelium
|
|
pseudostratified cells are generally ciliated often assoc. w/ goblet cells.
Name the location and Function of this type of tissue? |
L/ Respiratory Tract
F/ Surface Layer of mucosa traps particles from the lungs. |
|
Tell about the cells, location, and function of Transitional Epi.
|
C/ Stratified layers w/ basal layer cubodial/columnar. Superficial Layer composed of cubodial or squamous.
F/ Form leakproof barrier to prevent diffusion of scalding urine into delicate enviro. of abdominal cavity. L/ Urinary Tract. |
|
Cell or group of cells that have the ability to maufacture and discharge a secretion and are derived from epi.
|
Gland
|
|
Name Ways Glands are Classified?
|
Prescence or abscence of ducts.
# of cells that compose them. Type of secretion Shape of ducts Complexity of gland |
|
No ducts
secretions distributed throughout body Produce & Secrete regulartory chem. hormones into the blood stream or lymph system carried to other regions of the body. |
Endocrine Glands
|
|
Have Ducts.
Most common. Discharge secretions via their ducts directly into local areas. Secretions are local and normally do not enter bloodstream. |
Exocrine glands
|
|
Name 3 Components of Connetive Tissue?
|
Fibers
Ground Substance Cells |
|
Name functions of Connective Tissue
|
Forms structural connections between tissues
Reserve for Energy Medium for trasport immune protection Frame that supports the body Heat Production |
|
What is the material that is the medium in which cells exchange nutrients & waste w/ the bloodstream.
Shock absorber protects delicate cells that surround it |
Ground Substance
|
|
Name the 3 type of connective tissue fibers?
|
Collagenous
Elastic Reticular |
|
Fiber that is found in Ligaments and tendons?
|
Collagenous Fiber
|
|
Thick strong strands.
composed of bundled microfibrils Great tensile strength. Sometimes called "white Fiber" In tissues that are constantly being pulled and stretched. |
Collagenous Fibers
|
|
Composed of Collagen
Not thick Thin delicate Branch into complicated networks Forms a net for support of highly cellular organs Such as endocrine glands, & lymph nodes |
Reticular Fibers
|
|
Brached to form complex networks
Composed of bundles of microfibrils Can be stretched & contract. Occur in tissues that are exposed to stretching. Such as: Vocal cords, lungs, skin, Sometimes called yellow fibers |
Elastic Fibers
|
|
What are the 2 major types of cells in Connective tissue?
|
Fixed
Free (transient) |
|
Name the Fixed Cells
|
Fibroblast
Adipocytes Reticular |
|
What are adipocyte cells?
|
They are fat cells. When they cluster into groups they form adipose tissue.
|
|
Large irregulary shaped cells.
manufacture & secrete fibers & gound substance to form their paticular matrix. Each connective tissue has their own? |
Fibroblast
|
|
Flat star shaped cells
Long outreaching arms that touch other cells. Form netlike connections throughout the tissue they compose. |
Reticular Cells
|
|
What is the function and Location of Reticular cells?
|
F/ involved in the immune respone.
L/ found in tissues that are part of the immune system. Lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow. |
|
What are free cells?
|
cells that pass in and out of the connective tissue. Generally repair & protect tissues.
|
|
Name the Free Cells of Connective Tissue?
|
Mast cells
Leuckocytes Macrophages (can be fixed or free) |
|
Oval, dark staining cells that contain heparin & histamine when released into tissues initiate an inflammatory response.
|
Mast Cells
|
|
Move into connective tissue in large #'s during times of infection.
Manufactures Antibodies White Blood Cells |
Leukocytes
|
|
Increases blood flow to the area by making cappillaries leaky.
|
Histamine
|
|
Prevents blood from clotting and ensures the pathways for increased blood flow remains open.
|
Heparin
|
|
Found near blood vessels to release their contents directly into the bloodstream and guard against proteins or microbes.
|
mast cells
|
|
Massive irregular shaped cells that have phagocytizing capabilities.
|
macrophages
|
|
Name the broad categories of Connective Tissue.
|
Connective Tissue Proper
Spec. Connetive tissue |
|
Largest Classification
contains all except blood, cartilage, and bone. |
Connective Tissue Proper
|
|
Name the 4 common types of membranes
|
Mucous
Serous Cutaneous Synovial fluid |
