5 types of epithelial tissues |
Simple (1 layer, allow for molecules exchange) Stratified (2+ layers, protection) Pseudostratified (looks stratified but is simple) Transitional (cells size varies with stretching) Glandular (for secretion) |
|
Subtypes of stratified and simple cells |
Squamous (flat cells) Cuboidal (cubed shape) Columnar (tall thin) |
|
Types of glandular epithelial |
Exocrine glands (secret products onto body surface or cavity) muti (secretory and duct cells) uni cellular (mucus)
Endocrine glands (secret into blood) no ducts |
|
Trophoblast |
Outside of early blastocyst Forms chorion |
|
Amnion sack |
The sack around the embryo |
|
Epiblast |
On top of hypoblast Forms amnion |
|
Hypoblast |
Forms yolks sack |
|
Blastocyst embryonic disk |
Epiblast Hypoblast |
|
4 types of connective tissues |
CT proper Cartilage BONE Blood |
|
CT Proper subdivision |
Loose CT (highly vascular) Dense CT (poor vascular) |
|
Areolar CT (matrix) |
Proper CT Loosely arranged collagen and elastin fibers surrounded by ground substance |
|
Adipose CT |
Loose CT Very little matrix |
|
Dense regular CT |
Collagen fibers run in the same direction |
|
Dense irregular CT |
Collagen fibers arranged irregularly |
|
Bone matrix |
Ground substance - hydroxyapatite and peoteoglycans Collagen |
|
Cartilage matrix |
Fibers -collagen- elastin Ground substance made of chondroitin sulphate & hyaluronic acid |
|
Blood matrix |
Fluid = plasma Fiber = proteins |
|
3 types of cell junctions |
Tight junctions (partial fusion of specific proteins, form tight seal between cells) Desmosomes (anchoring junctions) Proteins that fasten cell to each other and/or extracellular material) Gap junctions (open channel, interconnecting cytosols) Allows for synchronization, important in heart!) |
|
Epithelial tissues characteristics |
Has one free surface Little space between cells Avascular |
|
Connective Tissues characteristics |
Mainly supports and connects tissues Cells far apart, separated by extracellular matrix |
|
CT cell Types name ending |
BLAST - creates mateix CYTE - maintain matrix CLAST - break down matrix |
|
Pre embryonic period |
First 2 weeks Zygote - blastocyst with bilayer embryonic disc |
|
Embryonic period |
3-8 weeks 3 germ layers Embryonic membrane Major organs mostly form Limb buds differentiate Heart begins to beat |
|
Fetal period |
9th -40 week Growth and maturation of organs |
|
Matrix composition |
Fibres (proteins) Ground substance Water |
|
Types of Fibres in matrix |
Collagen (for strength) Elastic fibres (containing the protein elastin, allow for stretch and recoil) Reticular fibers (form network, part of CT basement membrane) |
|
Ectoderm |
Formed from epiblast Part of the 3 germ layers Will form nervous system and epidermis of skin |
|
Mesoderm |
Part of 3 germ layers Will form muscles, cardiovascular system, dermis, and most bones (anything not on the inside or outside) |
|
Endoderm |
Form epithelial linings of systems and their associated glands |
|
Allantois |
Forms umbilical cord and urinary bladder |
|
Lumen |

|
Lamina propria (subtypes) |
Only in mucous membranes Subtypes -Areolar CT -CT proper |
|
4 membrane types |
Mucous membranes Serous membranes (serosa) Synovial membrane cutaneous membrane |
|

|
Mucous membrane 2 layers |
Epithelial layer CT layer |
|
