Provide specific functions for the body
tissue
four types of tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
covers organs, lines hollow organs, lacks blood vessels, easily divide.
Epithelial tissue
epithelial tissues are anchored to conective tissue by the?
basement membrane
thin, nonliving layer of cells
basement membrane
injuries heal quickly because cells easily divide.
epithelial tissue
singly layer of cube-shaped cells
simple cubiodal epithelium
centrally located nucleus
simple cubiodal epithelium
functions in secretion and absorption
simple cubiodal epithelium
cells surround the lumen
simple cubiodal epithelium
single layer of elongated cells
simple columnal epithelium
nucleus located near the basement membrane
simple columnal epithelium
ciliated or nonciliated
simple columnal epithelium
protects underlying tissues, secretes digestive fluids, and absorbs nutrients
simple columnal epithelium
helps absorb nutrients, small processes
microvilli
appears layered but it's not.
psuedostratified columnar epithelium
why does psuedostratified columnar epithelium appear layered?
because nuclei position varies within the rows of cells
cilia may be present, along with goblet cells that secret mucous
psuedostratified columnar epithelium
lines the respiratory system
psuedostratified columnar epithelium
layers of flattened cells that are pushed up from new cells on the basement membrane
stratified squamous epithelium
Forms the epidermis (outside skin layer)
stratified squamous epithelium
as skin cells age what is accumulated to form a protective layer?
keratin
prevents water and other substances from entering and escaping
keratin
two or three layers of cuboidal cells
stratified cuboidal epithelium
line the lumen (inside) of mammary, sweat, and salivary glands.
stratified cuboidal epithelium
superficial cells are elongated; cells farther in are cube-shaped
stratified columnar epithelium
designed to change in responce to increase tension
transitional epithelium
lines the bladder, ureters, and urethra
transitional epithelium
cells designed to produce and secrete substances into ducts or body fluids
glandular epithelium
one or more cells compose a...
gland
two types of glands
exocrine and endocrine
secrete glands into ducts
exocrine
secrete products into body fluids and blood
endocrine
T or F
glands are classified by how products are secreted
true
release fluid products by exocytosis
merocrine
secrete watery serous fluids
serous cells
secrete mucous
mucous cells
lose small parts of their cell bodies
apocrine
entire cell splits during secretion
holocrine
bind structures, support & protect, fill spaces, store fat, protect against infection
connective tissues
intercellular material
matrix
have abundant matrix
connective tissue
have varying densities
connective tissue
cells can either be fixed or wandering
connective tissue cells
most common cell type, star-shaped fixed cell, secretes fibers
fibroblast
(white blood cells), wandering cells, clears foreign materials, defends against infection
macrophages
large cells and are located near blood vessels
mast cells
release heparin (prevents blood clotting) and histamine (promotes inflammation
mast cells
thick threads of collagen
Collagenous fibers
flexible and strong, compose ligaments and tendons
collagenous fibers
bone to bone
ligaments
muscle to bone
filaments
contains lots of collagenous fibers, appears white
dense connective tissue
made of the protein elastin, easily stretched, adds flexibility to connective tissues, in vocal cords, appear yellow
elastic fibers
thin collagenous fibers, form support networks in tissue
reticular fibers
forms thin membranes throughout the body
Loose connective tissue
binds skin to underlying organs, fills space between muscles
loos connective tissue
loose connective tissue designed to store fat
adipose tissue
special cells store fat in droplets within the cytoplasm, becomes enlarged
adipose tissue
cushion joints and organs, insulates the body, stores energy
adipose tissue
densely packed, thick collagenous tissue
dense connective tissue
very strong-composes tendons and ligaments
dense connective tissue
blood supply is poor so wounds take longer to heal
dense connective tissue
rigid connective tissue, provides support framework for various structures, forms models for developing bones
cartilage
cartilage cells
chondrocytes
small chambers
lacunae
transports materials throughout the body
blood
composed of formed materials suspended in a fluid matrix
blood
formed elements (3)
red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
where do blood cells form?
in the marrow of bones
cancontract and shorten
muscle cells
3 major types of muscle tissue
cardiac, skeletal, and smooth
attached to bone, voluntary
skeletal muscle tissue
muscle fibers are long and cylindrical, alternating dark and light bands, are visible and many nuclei are present
skeletal muscle tissue
Lacks striations, cells are spindle shaped with a single nucleus, involuntary
smooth muscle tissue
found in walls of internal organs, the digestive tract, blood vessels, and bladder
smooth muscle tissue
Found only in the heart, muscle fibers are connected together by intercalcalated disks
cardiac muscle tissue
each cell has a single nucleus, involuntary
cardiac muscle tissue
holds muscle fibers together
intercalated disks
found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
nervous tissues
conduct impulses along cellular processes to other neurons
Neurons
support and nourish neurons
Neuroglial cells
Type:Skeletal Tissue
