Tissue |
A group of one kind of cell |
|
|
Connective tissue, ex. Bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, adipose tissue, blood. |
Contains large amounts of non-living material |
|
|
Connective tissue ex. 1. Ligament 2. Tendon |
1. Attaches bone to bone 2. Attaches muscle to muscle, or muscle to bone. |
|
|
Adipose (fat) tissue (also connective tissue) |
Composed of adipose cells. Stores droplets of lipid (oil) |
|
|
Epithelial tissue. Forms skin, membrane linings, and glands. |
Covers surfaces, lines cavities, and secretes material. |
|
|
3 kinds of epithelial membrane (thin structures covered by epithelial tissue) |
1. Mucous membrane 2. Serous membrane 3. Cutaneous membrane |
|
|
Membrane |
Thin structure |
|
|
Mucous membranes |
Composed of epithelial cells, lines cavities that open to the outside, produces mucus which traps dirt. |
|
|
Serous membranes |
Composed of epithelial cells, lines cavities that don't open to the outside, produces serus (fluid) which lubricates double walled sack. |
|
|
3 kinds of serous membranes |
1. Pleura- around lungs 2. Pericardium- around heart 3. Peritoneum- lines abdomen |
|
|
2 layers of serous membrane |
1. Visceral- the inner layer, on the organ 2. Parietal- the outer layer, the space between these two layers is filled with serus fluid. |
|
|
Six layers of serous membranes |
1. Visceral pleura 2. Parietal pleura 3. Visceral pericardium 4. Parietal pericardium 5. Visceral peritoneum 6. Parietal peritoneum |
|
|
Two kinds of connective tissue membranes |
1. Fascia- bands or sheets that support organs 2. Skeletal membranes- covering for parts of the skeleton |
|
|
Two types of fascia |
1. Superficial fascia- under the organ called skin, contains most of our body's adipose tissue. 2. Deep fascia- covers internal organs, muscles, blood vessels, nerves. Does not contain fat. |
|
|
Meninges |
Deep fascia around the brain and spinal cord |
|
|
Muscle tissues- for movement (3 kinds) 1. Smooth 2. Cardiac 3. Skeletal |
1. Involuntary, visceral 2. Myocardium, heart 3. Voluntary, to bones |
|
|
Nerve tissue |
Composed of neurons which carry and process electrical messages |
|
|
Cells adaptive structures Two of these cell structures are motile (help the cells move) |
1. Cilia 2. Flagellum |
|
|
Cilia |
Short hair-like, motile projections |
|
|
Flagellum |
Long whip-like, motile structure |
|
|
Some neurons (PNS) have a thin covering. This covering is an adaptive structure that allows the neuron to heal |
Neurilemma |
|
|
Cancer (malignant tumor) 1. Grade 2. Stages |
1. Grade - aggressiveness, high- grade tumors spread more quickly 2. Stage - extent, size, lymph nodes involved secondary sites |
|
|
Carcinoma |
Cancer that starts in epithelial tissue Ex. Basal cell carcinoma |
|
|
Sarcoma |
Cancer that starts in connective tissue Ex. Myosarcoma |
