Term
hist
Definition
tissue
Term
in greek and french hist means?
Definition
web; to weave
Term
histology
Definition
the study of body tissues
Term
4 basic types of tissue
Definition
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Term
epithelial
Definition
cover
Term
connective tissue
Definition
connect
Term
nervous
Definition
control
Term
muscle
Definition
movement
Term
epithelial tissue innervated
Definition
nerve endings are found in epithelial tissue
Term
basal surface feature
Definition
basal lamina: thin, non-cellular sheet made up of proteins, acts as filter and serves as scaffolding for new cell generation
Term
basement membrane
Definition
basal lamina + reticular fibers
Term
microvilli
Definition
 Finger-like extensions of plasma membrane,
moist surfaces
 Maximize surface area for nutrient
transport/absorption
 Mucus
Term
cilia
Definition
 Tail-like extensions that bend and move in
coordinated waves
 Push mucus and other substances across
epithelial surface
 Flagellum = extremely long cilium (sperm is only
case)
Term
what does the nucleus look like in these cells?
Definition
shape of nucleus matches cell type
Term
vascular
Definition
-Atypical CT (no binding or support)
Term
vascular
why is it CT?
Definition
 Origin is fibroblasts (made in bone marrow),
function is nutrient delivery
 Develops from mesenchyme
 Has cells and matrix
Term
vascular
cells
Definition
blood cells (leukocytes-WBCs, erythrocytes-RBCs, thrombocytes-platelets)
Term
Vascular
Matrix
Definition
fluid(plasma)
Term
coverings and lining
general
Definition
membranes that cover areas in the body-made up of an epithelial sheet and underlying of CT proper
Term
coverings and linings
cutaneous
Definition
skin (dry membrane)
Term
coverings and linings
mucous
Definition
line sorgans that open to outside of body (moist)- many (but not all) secrete mucus
Term
covering and linings
lamina propria
Definition
loose CT (underlying layer)
Term
coverings and linings
serous
Definition
lines cavity
- simple squamous epithelial layer on top of areolar CT-serous fluid
Term
muscle tissue
cells
Definition
Myocytes (long, thin fibers) that contain myofilaments
Term
muscle tissue
sarcolemma
Definition
cytolemma of muscle cell
Term
muscle tissue
sarcoplasm
Definition
cytoplasm of muscle cell
Term
muscle tissue
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Definition
ER of muscle cell
Term
muscle tissue
Matrix
Definition
very little (densely packed cells)
Term
muscle tissue
vascularity
Definition
HIGH(due to how high metabolic rate needs to get)
Term
muscle tissue
function
Definition
contraction, movement
Term
skeletal muscle
protein amount
Definition
lots of fibrous proteins
Term
nerve tissue
composition
Definition
composed of nerve cells adn support tissue
Term
nervous tissue
location
Definition
brain, spinal cord, nerves
Term
nervous tissue
cells
Definition
neurons(aka nerve fibers)
Term
3 components of nueron
Definition
-axon, body, dendrites
Term
body (neuron)
Definition
aka perikaryon
Term
axon
Definition
long fiber, can be as long as muscle fibers, but only one nucleus-single transmission
Term
dendrites
Definition
sense signal(receive impulses)
Term
Neuroglia
Definition
- Support tissue for neurons – nourishment
- More abundant than neurons
- Insulate and protect neurons
Term
injury
inflammation
Definition
• Non-specific, local, acute
• Heat, redness, swelling, pain
Term
injury
immune response
Definition
• Highly specific, takes a while to develop
Term
repair
regeneration
Definition
replacement of tissue by same kind
Term
repair
fibrosis
Definition
creation of fibrous CT (scar tissue)
Term
stem cells
general
Definition
- Undifferentiated cells that continuously renew and produce
new cells when necessary
Term
stem cell
location
Definition
-Found mostly in rapidly replacing tissues (e.g., epidermis),
but are in other tissues too (e.g., brain)
Term
3 types of stem cells
Definition
embryonic, embryonic germ, adult
Term
embryonic
Definition
human embryo, 5 days
Term
embryonic germ
Definition
5-9 weeks-less research on these, but appear more limited
Term
adult (stem cell)
Definition
found in bone marrow, skin, blood, and brain
Term
other possible locations of stem cells
Definition
umbilical cord and placenta are also being explored
Term
use of stem cells
Definition
treatment of neurological disorders
Term
ethical issues
stem cell line:
Definition
mass of cells descending from original cell
