Cards

Term
Endoderm
Definition
Forms aprox. 13 to 14 days after fertilization, gives rise to the linning of the digestive tract and its dderivatives.
Term
Ectoderm
Definition
Forms aprox. 13 to 14 days after fertilization, gives rise to the outer most layer of the skin. Neuroectoderm becomes the nervous system.
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
Cells of the ectoderm migrate between the two layers, forms muscle, bones and blood vessels
Term
Types of tissues
Definition
-Epithelial
Term
Types of Epithelial Tissue
Definition
-Epithelia: Layers of cells covering internal or internal surfaces.
Term
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissues
Definition
-Cellularity : Almost entierly composed of cells.
Term
Functions of Epithelia
Definition
-Protects underlying structures
Term
Simple Epithelium
Definition
Found where movement of material is principal (Blood vessels)
Term
Stratisfied Epithelium
Definition
Well adapted for protection
Term
Junction: Macula adherens
Definition
Desmosomes, CAM, dense area and intercellular cement. Spot Desmosomes: ties cells toghether, allows bending and twisting. Hemidesmosomes: attaches cell to the basal lamina.
Term
Cuboidal/Columnar
Definition
Present where secretion is the primary function
Term
Glandular Epithelia
Definition
Endocrine glands: releases hormones into the interstinal fluid, no ducts
Term
Merocrine Secretion
Definition
Is produced in the golgi apparatus, is released by vessicles (exocytocis) EX: Sweat glands
Term
Holocrine Secretion
Definition
Is released by cells bursting, killing gland cells, Gland cell is replaced by stem cell, EX: Sebaceous gland.
Term
Connective tissue
Definition
Makes up part of every organ, consist of cells separated from each other by an abundant of extracellular matrix
Term
Functions of connective tissue
Definition
-Encloses and separates
Term
The Matrix
Definition
Is the majority of tissue volume, determines specialized funtions
Term
Function and Category of connective tissue proper
Definition
Connects and protects.
Term
Nine types of connective tissue proper cells
Definition
-Fibroblast
Term
Fibroblast
Definition
The most abundant cell type, found in all connective tissue proper, secretes proteins and hyaluronan (cellular cement)
Term
Fibrocytes
Definition
the second most abundant cell type, found in all connective tissue proper, maitain the fibers of the connective tissue proper.
Term
Macrophanges
Definition
Large amoeba like cells of the immune system capable of movement, eats pathogens and damaged cells, fixed macrophages stay in tissue, Free macrophanges migrate.
Term
Adipocytes
Definition
fat cells: each cell stores one large fat dropplet
Term
Mesenchymal Cell
Definition
Stem cells that respond to injury or infection. Differentiate into diffrent types of connective tissue cell
Term
Melanocytes
Definition
Sinthesize and store brown pigment melanin
Term
Mast Cells
Definition
Stimulates inflamation after injury or infection. Releases histamine and heparin
Term
Lymphocytes
Definition
Specialized immune cells in lymphadic system. Lymphocytes may develope into plasmacytes that produces antibodies
Term
Microphanges
Definition
Phagocytic blood cells, respond to signals from macrophanges and mast cells
Term
Collagen fibers
Definition
-Most common fiber in connective tissue proper
Term
Reticullar Fibers
Definition
-Metwork of interwoven fibers (stoma)
Term
Elastic Fibers
Definition
-Contains elastin
Term
Ground Substance
Definition
-Is clear, colorless and viscous
Term
Embryotic connective tissue
Definition
-Are not found in adults
Term
Defenition of Muscle tissue
Definition
Muscle tissue is specialied for contractions, produces all bodies movement. 3 types: Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth Muscles
Term
Skeletal Muscle tissue
Definition
Has long cylindrical cells that are striated, multinuclei. located in large skeletal muscles responsible for movement under voluntary control.
Term
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Definition
Are found only in the heart used for contraction under involuntary movement. Has striated branched cells that are multnuclei and connect to one another at intercalated disks which contain gap junctions that allows for coordinated contractions.
Term
Smooth Muscles tissue
Definition
Are long and tapered at the end uninuclear and not striated, found in the walls of hollow organs, function under involuntary control
Term
Characteristics of Nervous Tissue
Definition
Specialiezed for conduncting electrical impulses, rapidly senses internal or external enviroment, processes information and coordinate response
Term
Where are neural tissues concentrated at?
Definition
they are concentrated in the central nervous system(brain and spinal cord)
Term
what are Neurons?
Definition
are nerve cells, peform electrical communication
Term
Waht are Neuroglia cells?
Definition
are supporting cells, they repair and supply nutrients to the neurons
Term
Inflamatory response
Definition
The tissues 1st response to injury, S/S include; swelling, redness, heat and pain.
Term
Process of inflamatory response
Definition
-Damage happens, medistors are released or activated in the injured tissue.
