|
produce protective mucous coating over the mucous membranes.
|
|
|
The most widespred epithelium in the body is __________ _________ _______.
|
Stratified squamous epithelium
|
|
|
Stratified squamous epithelium, when the cells separate from the surface it is called__________ or ___________.
|
Exfoliation or desquamation.
|
|
|
Another word for Desquamation is ________.
|
Exfoliation
|
|
|
An examination of exfoliated cells from the cervix for signs of uterine cancer is a ___ ______.

|
|
|
Stratified squamous epithelium has 2 kinds :_________ &___ ___________
|
Keratinized & Non-Keratinized
|
|
|
________ epithelium is found on the skin surface (epidermis), covered with a layer of compact dead squmous cells.
|
Keratinized epithelium
|
|
|
These cells are packed with the durable protein keratin and coated w/ water repellent.
|
keratinized epithelium cells
|
|
|
This type of stratified squamous epithelium can be found in the toungue, esophagus, vagina etr.
|
Non keratinized
|
|
|
This type of stratified squamous epithelium lacks the surface layer of dead cells, but provides abrassion resistant, moist & slippery.
|
Non keratinized
|
|
|
Often serves to connect organs to ech other, the way a tendon connects muscle to bone, this tissue serves to support, bind and protect organs.
|
Connective Tissue
|
|
|
This tissue includes:
Fibrous tissue Adipose (fat) Cartilage Bone & Blood tissue |
Connective Tissue
|
|
|
Connectve tissue is the body's major energy reserve; bone is a reservoir for calcium and can be drawn upon when needed.
|
fat & bone storage
|
|
|
The most diverse type of connective tissue. And have ground substance.
|
Fibrous connective tissue
|
|
|
Fibroblasts
Macrophages Leukocytes Plasma cells Mast cells Adipocytes (fat cells) |
Components of fibrous connective tissue
|
|
|
3 three types of Protein fibers found in Fibrous connective tissue.
|
-Collagenous fibers
-Reticular fibers -Elastic fibers |
|
|
Fibrous Connective tissue cells that produce the fibers & ground substance that form the matrix of the tissue.
|
Fibroblasts
|
|
|
Fibrous Connective tissue cells; large phagocytic cells that wander through the tissue engulf & destroy bacteria, foreign particles, & dead or dying cells.
|
Macrophages
|
|
|
Leukocytes or _____ ____ ____.
|
WBC's (white blood cells)
|
|
|
Fibrous Connective tissue cells that travel briefly in bloodstream crwal out of capillay walls spend most of thier time in connective tissue. Most are netrophils which wander around for bacteria.
|
WBC's (white blood cells)
|
|
|
Certain lymphocytes turn into _____ _____ when they detect foreign agents, they synthesize disease fighting proteins called antibodies.
|
Plasma cells
|
|
|
Fibrous Connective tissue cells found especially along side blood vessels, secrete a chemical called heparin & histamine.
|
Mast Cells
|
|
|
Mast cell that inhibits blood clotting.
|
Heparin
|
|
|
Mast cell that increases blood flow by dialating blood vessels.
|
Histamine
|
|
|
Adipocytes or ____ ____.
|
Fat Cells
|
|
|
The most aboundant type of protein contains ___ collagen. Has glistening white appearence, seen in tendons.
|
25 %
|
|
|
White fibers
|
Collagen fibers
|
|
|
Thin collagen fibers coated w/ glycoprotein, spongelike framework for organs like the spleen & lymph nodes.
|
Reticular Fibers
|
|
|
Tinner than collangenous fibers, branch out & rejoin, Made of protein called elastin, account for abilities of skin, lungs, & arteris to bounce back.
|
Elastic fibers
|
|
|
Tendency to recoil when tension is released
|
Elasticity
|
|
|
glycosaminoglycans
|
Ground substance
|
|
|
Proteoglycan

|
Chondroitin sulfate
|
|
|
Adhesive glycoproteins
|
Ground substance
|
|
|
Appears to be empty space in tissue sections but absorbs compressive forces and protects delicate cells from mechanical injury.
|
Ground substance
|
|
|
-Loose connective tissue
-Dense connective tissue -Aerolar tissue |
