Four main categories of tissues:
|
1. Epithelial tissue
2. Connective tissue 3. Nervous Tissue 4. Muscle Tissue |
|
What are Epithelial Tissue?
|
sheets of tightly packed cells covers the outside of your body (skin) and lines the organs and cavities w/in the body
|
|
What is the function of Epithelial Tissue?
|
*barrier protecting against injury, invasive microorganisms, and fluid loss.
*controls secretion/absorption of molecules |
|
most cancers cells are derived from _____
|
epithelial cells
|
|
[Epithelial tissue] What is the Barrier function?
|
important for cell-cell interactions.
**cells form a barriers and allow only certain cells through |
|
the Barrier is composed of two components: ___ and ___
|
1. Tight junction = form seal
2. Adherance Junction = give adhension |
|
These two junctions are made of _____
|
multiple proteins complexes
**need both for barriers to work |
|
Dysfunction of tight junctions can causes serveral diseases in the intestinal tract. Give some examples:
|
**Crohn's disease (intestinal tract)
**Multiple Organ Dysfunction **glaucoma |
|
free surface epithelia tissue exposed to the environment are attached to a _____
|
basement membrane
|
|
shape of epithelial tissue plays an important role in ____ and ____
|
secretion and absorption
|
|
name 3 cell shape of epithelia tissue
|
1. Cuboidal (round dishes)
2. Columnar (large cytoplasm) 3. Squamous (flat tile) |
|
these cell shapes come together by layer what are these layer called?
|
*simple-- one cell layer
*stratified-- greater than one cell layer *pseudostratified-- one cell layer, but looks like more |
|
[give the function of these epithelial shpae]
Simple squamous epithelia do they form tight or adherence junction |
thin and leaky, molecule exchange such as blood vessel
*do not form tight junction or adherence junction example: capillaries |
|
stratified squamous epithelia
|
many layers that regenerate at basement membrane and sloughed (shed) off at free end- skin
example: skin **want to be a little bit leaky, but still want some strength **made of stratified squamous cell for abrasion |
|
Columnar epithelia
Do they form TJ or AJ |
large cytoplasmic volumes--- secretes and/or absorption
**form tight junction and adherence junction |
|
Simple columnar epithelia (give an example)
|
intestines
|
|
Pseudo-stratified columnar (give an example)
|
line nasal passages
|
|
stratified columnar epithelia (give example)
|
line inner surface of urinary bladder
|
|
Cuboidal epithelia (what is the function)
|
specialized for secretion--- mammary gland, kidney, and hormone producing glands
|
|
[CONNECTIVE TISSUE]
what is the the function of CT? |
binds and supports other tissues
*cell produce Etracellular matrix (ECM) |
|
[CT] Bone
Give: 1. ECM 2. Cell types |
1. Matrix-- solid
2. bone is made by cells called osteoblasts (secretes CA phosphate) note: cartilage is made of cells called chrontrocyte |
|
[CT] Fat droplet
Give: 1. ECM 2. Cell types |
1. matrix: jelly like
2. made of adipose (adipocyte) cells (responsible for the production and storage of fat) |
|
[CT] Plasma of blood
Give: 1. ECM 2. Cell types |
1. matrix: liquid
2. made of blood cell |
|
Another catagory of connective tissue is called _____
|
loose connective tissue (which is made of fibers)
|
|
what is fibroblasts
|
make fibers
|
|
what are the 3 connective tissues fibers
|
1. Collagen fibers, Elastic fibers, and Reticular fibers
|
|
collagen fibers
|
**important strength
**nonelastic **does not easily tear |
|
Elastic fibers
|
**long threads
**provides a rubbery quality *provide flexibility |
|
Reticular fibers
|
**collagen
**thin and branched **connect to collagenous fibers **x-link |
|
what are the purpose of these three fibers?
|
keeps organ in place and connect tissue
|
|
what are fibrous connective tissue
|
a form of connective tissue made of collgen fibers
**ligaments = attach bones at joints **tendon = attach muscles to bone |
|
[NERVOUS TISSUE] what is the function of nervous tissue?
|
senses stimul and transmits signals throughout the organism
|
|
Neroun-nerve cell contains three parts:
|
a cell body, dendrites, and axon
|
|
cell body
|
where the nucleus and cellular organelles are located
|
|
dendrites which are processes extending rom the cell body that receive ______
|
stimuli from the environment or other neurons
|
|
axon
|
transmission of nerve impulses to other cells
|
|
the interaction of the end bulb (part of the axon) w/ the adjacent cell forms a structure called a _____
|
snapse<BR><BR>**junction b/w neuron and effector/target cell
|
|
synapses are specialized to _____ and convert it into an _______
|
**specialized to recieve a signal
**electrical potential |
|
Signal comes through ____ and out going is through an ____. this signal is called ____
|
dendrites
axon Action Potential |
|
what is Action Potential?
|
a temporily ion flux
Na+ ---> in K ---> out *Na+ and K gets transfer along plasma membran that allow nerve cells to emit a signal when its stimulated |
|
[MUSSCLE TISSUE] name the three types of muscle tissue in vertebrates:
|
1. Skeletal muscle
2. cardiac muscle 3. smooth muscle |
|
[MUSSCLE TISSUE] name the three types of muscle tissue in vertebrates:
|
1. Skeletal muscle
