How many different cell types are there?
200
there are 4 primary tissue classes. what are they?
epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous
what is the study of histology?
microscopic anatomy
what is an organ?
a structure of discrete boundaries composed of 2 or more tissue types
what tissue cells are widely separated?
connective
this tissue has little matrix between it and muscle cells:
epithelial
this tissue covers body surface, lines body cavities, external and internal linings of many organs, & constitutes most gland tissue:
epithelial
this tissue consists mostly of fibers & ground substance with widely separated cells:
connective
this tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed:
connective
this tissue serves to connect organs or serves to support, bind, or protect organs
connective
this tissue is used for energy storage and heat protection:
connective
this tissue consists of elongated cells that are specialized to contract in response to stimulation:
muscle
this tissue's primary job is to exert physical force on other tissues and organs:
muscle
digestion, waste elimination, speech, breathing, and blood circulation depend on this tissue:
muscle
this tissue consists of neurons and many neuroglia cells. the neurons are specialized to detect stimuli, respond quickly, & transmit coded information rapidly to other cells:
nervous
this tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, nerves and ganglia
nervous
there are 3 primary germ layers:
ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm
ecto means?
outer
endo means?
inner
meso means?
middle
what does an embryo begin as?
a single cell
what does an embryo divide into?
many cells and layers. 3 primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm
what germ layer forms the epidermis and nervous system?
ectoderm
what germ layer forms mucous membrane lining GI tract, & respiratory system, & digestive glands?
endoderm
what germ layer has wispy collagen fibers & fibroblasts in gel matrix and gives rise to muscle, bone, & blood?
mesoderm
is epithelial tissue vascular or non vascular?
non vascular
what does pseudo mean?
fake
what does stratified mean?
many layers
what are the fibers of connective tissue?
collagen, reticular, and elastic
what tissue produces heat and stores energy?
adipose
what cartilage is found in the ear?
elastic
what are the 3 types of cartilage?
elastic, hyaline, and fibrocartilage
this cartilage has clustered chondrocytes in lacuna, supports airway, eases joint movements, found at end of bones:
hyaline
this cartilage is the supportive material in larynx trachea, bronchi, & fetal skeleton:
hyaline
this cartilage resists compression and absorbs shock. found in meniscus and in intervertebral discs
fibrocartilage
what cells have no nucleus?
rbc
there are 3 types of muscle tissue:
skeletal, smooth, & cardiac
what types of muscle tissue have an uncontrolled diaphram?
smooth and cardiac
what types of muscle tissue have a controlled diaphram?
skeletal
what types of muscle tissue have striations?
skeletal and cardiac
what types of muscle tissue are non striated?
smooth
the connections between one cell and another are called?
intercellular junctions
what junction is found in embryos, cardiac, and smooth muscle?
gap junctions
what junctions are found in urinary tracts?
tight junctions
what does hyper mean?
more or bigger
what is tissue growth through cell multiplication called?
hyperplasia
what is the enlargement of preexisting cells called?
hypertrophy
what is growth of a tumor through growth of abnormal tissue called?
neoplasia
what is metaplasia?
changing of one tissue type to another
healing phase or remodeling phase may last how long?
2 years
what is a decrease in size of a tissue or organ called?
atrophy
the epithelium that lines the stomach and intestines is?
simple columnar
what 2 muscle types form sphincters?
skeletal and smooth
the glands most responsible for cooling the skin are?
merocrine glands
a childs body hair is called?
vellus
in cold weather, this may result from reduced blood circulation through the skin:
cyanosis
what is the function of the goblet cells?
to secrete mucus
what moves the mucus along the cell surface to the goblet cells?
the beating of cilia
primitive connective tissue is termed?
mesenchyme
In compact bone, the delicate canals that extend between one lacunae to another are called?
canaliculi
what gland uses ducts for secretion?
exocrine
Across which type of epithelium are substances most rapidly transported?
simple squamous epithelium
In mature bone, osteocytes can be found in tiny cavities called?
lacuna
what muscle lacks striations and is involuntary?
smooth
Cells that are undifferentiated and have not yet begun to perform specialized functions are known as:
stem cells
If the secretory cells of an exocrine gland form a dilated sac, the gland is called a(n) ________ gland.
acinar
This tissue type is excitable and forms layers in the digestive organs:
smooth muscle
This excitable tissue is characterized by having intercalated discs and striations:
cardiac muscle
This type of epithelium is often keratinized and has tight intercellular junctions:
stratified squamous
This type of epithelium is found in the alveoli of the lungs:
simple squamous
Where is transitional epithelium found in humans?
urinary bladder
Tendons and ligaments are composed mostly of what type of cartilage?
fibrocartilage
How are skeletal and cardiac muscle the same?
they both have striations
