The main types of tissue |
Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous (neural) |
|
|
Acts as a covering or lining |
Epithelial |
|
|
Characteristics of epithelial tissue |
Cellularity (all cells) Polarity ( apical & basal surface) Attachment (basement membrane) Avascularity (no blood) Innervation (got nerves) High regen capacity. |
|
|
Functions of epithelial tissue |
Physical protection Selective permeability Secretions Sensations |
|
|
How we Classifiy of epithelial tissue |
Shape, and stratification (layered) |
|
|
Classifications of epi tissue based on layers |
Simple (one layer) stratified (multi layered) pseudostratified (looks like a lot, only one layer) |
|
|
Shape classifications |
Squamous (flat) cuboidal (cube shaped) columnar (Column shaped) transitional (changes shape) |
|
|
Unicellular glands occur within |
Goblet cells |
|
|
Function of stratified epithelium |
Protection |
|
|
Two types of stratified squamous |
Nonkeratinized (no keratin) Keratinized (contain keratin, dead at apical surface) |
|
|
Locations where each type of strat. Squamous Occur |
Nonkeratinized: Laning if oral cavity, lining of part of pharynx, lining of esophagus, vagina, and anus. Keratinized: epidermis |
|
|
Locations of pseudostratified columnar epithelium |
(Ciliated) basal cacity, part of pharynx, larynx, trachea & bronchi (Non ciliated) pert of male urethra, epididymis |
|
|
Function of pseudostratified columnar epithelium |
Protection, ciliated move mucus |
|
|
What type of epithelium can be stretched? |
Transitional epithelium |
|
|
Locations of transitional epithelium |
Lining of urinary bladder Inner layer of ureters Part of the urethra |
|
|
Tissue that supports the body both physically and physiological, protects and bonds to other tissues |
Connective tissue, (duct tape) |
|
|
Main functions of connective tissue |
Physical protection Support & structures work Binding of structures Storage Transport Immune protection |
|
|
Three classifications of connective tissue |
Connective tissue proper Supporting connective tissue Fluid connective tissue |
|
|
Loosely organized undifferented mesodermal cells that give rise to such structures as connective tissues, blood, lymphatics, bone, and cartilage. |
Mesenchyme |
|
|
Broad classifications of connective tissue proper |
Loose connective tissue Dense connective tissue |
|
|
Loose connective tissue that surrounds nerves, blood vessels, and individual muscle cells. |
Areolar connective tissue |
|
|
Shiny layers of binding tissue |
Fascia |
|
|
Loose connective tissue commonly known as fat |
Adipose connective tissue |
|
|
Connective tissue that forms a mesh work that acts as a structure framework for organs such as the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes |
Reticular connective tissue |
|
|
Three types of dense connective tissue |
Dense regular connective tissue Dense irregular connective tissue Elastic connective tissue |
|
|
Dense connective tissue is composed of densely packed, parallel collagen fibers. |
Dense regular connective tissue |
|
|
Locations of dense, regular connective tissue |
Tendons and ligaments |
|
|
Dense connective tissue composed of collagen fibers extending in all directions |
Dense irregular connective tissue |
|
|
Dense connective tissue contains elastic tissue |
Elastic connective tissue |
|
|
Two types of supporting connective tissue |
Cartilage Bone |
|
|
Most common type of cartilage |
Hyaline |
|
|
Where is hyaline found |
Fetal skeleton, articular cartilage, nose, trachea, larynx, costal cartilage |
|
|
Cartilage that contains course, readily visible fibers arranged in irregular bundles between large chondrocytes |
Fibrocartilage |
|
|
Where is fibrocartilage found |
Intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, menisci. |
|
|
Locations of elastic cartilage |
Epiglottis, external ear. |
|
|
Connective tissue composed of 1/3 organic components, and 2/3 calcium salts |
Bone |
|
|
Two types of bone |
Cortical (compact) and cancelous (spongy) |
|
|
The one type of fluid connective tissue. |
Blood (including RBC and WBC) |
|
|
Muscle tissue that has long fibers that are striated, multinucleated, and voluntary |
Skeletal muscle |
|
|
Muscle tissue with: Short branched fibers, One or two central nuclei, Striations Intercalated discs |
Cardiac muscle |
|
|
Muscle tissue with Short, fusiform, nonstriated fibers Involuntary |
Smooth muscle |
|
|
Specialized cells that can detect stimuli, process information, and rapidly transmit electrical impulses |
Neurons |
|
|
Three main parts of neuron cells |
Cell body Dendrites Axon |
|
|
Neural cells that specialize in supporting, protecting, and providing a framework for others |
Glial cells |
