Term
four types of tissue
Definition

epithelia

connective tissues

muscle tissues

nerve tissues

Term
epithelia
Definition

cover surfaces/cavities, glands

true, mesothelium, endothelium

avascular, opposite end polarity, minimal extracellular material, secrete basal lamina, mucous, serous fluid, absorb on surface

Term
connective tissues
Definition

proper and specialized

structural purpose

Term
muscle tissues
Definition

skeletal, cardiac, smooth

contractile function

Term
nerve tissues
Definition

transmit information

neurons, neuroglia, schwann cells, satellite cells

Term
structure of epithelia
Definition
sheets of densely packed, polarized cells joined by junctions 
Term
epithelia line ___
Definition

epidermis of skin (ectoderm)

cavities (mesoderm)

tubes w/in body (endoderm)

Term
basement membrane
Definition

tissue rests on it

fiber matrix and Ground Substane

has little matrix (intercellular)

basal+reticular lamina

Term
epithelial nutrients
Definition

avascular, so get nutrients from lumen/connective tissue

waste disposed by diffusion to lumen and c.t.

Term
glands
Definition
clustered epithelial cells, secrete stuff
Term
epithelial function
Definition
protection, flexibility, secretion, absorption, endocytosis, phagocytosis, forme exocrine + endocrine glands, exocytosis
Term
epithelia are classified by___
Definition

1. number of cell layers

2. shape of free cells

3. obvious specializations

Term
simple epithelium
Definition
one layer of cells on basement membrane
Term
stratified epithelium
Definition

multiple cell layers 

(also: pseudostratified columnar, appears to be stratified but isn't)

Term
squamous
Definition
flat cells/plate-like
Term
cuboidal
Definition
cube shaped cells
Term
columnar
Definition
column-shaped cells
Term
transitional epithelia
Definition
stretches and changes shape between squamous and columnar
Term
true epithelia
Definition
line body surface or communicate with it (skin, ducts, gut/respiratory, reproductive, etc)
Term
mesothelia
Definition
line ventral body cavities: pericardial, pleural, peritoneal serosa
Term
endothelia
Definition
line inner of heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, form mucus membrane with true epithelia
Term
simple squamous
Definition

passive diffusion and filtration, secrete lubricants

in renal corpuscles, alveoli, ining of heart, blood, lymph vessels, line ventral cavity

Term
simple cuboidal
Definition

secrete and absorb

in kidney, glands, ovary

Term
simple columnar
Definition

absorb, secrete mucus, enzyes, propel mucus by cilia

in digestive tract (no cilia)

ciliated in bronchi, uterus

Term
pseudostratified columnar
Definition

secrete and propel mucus

sperm/duct glands, ciliated: respiratory

Term
stratified squamous
Definition

surface: dead, keratin

base: active mitosis

protection from abrasion

nonkeratin: moist openings

keratin: skin

Term
stratified cuboidal
Definition

protection

in sweat, mammary, and salivary glans

Term
stratified columnar epithelium
Definition

base cuboidal

protect and secrete

male urethra, some large ducts

Term
transitional epithelium
Definition

easily stretches

ureter, bladder, urethra

Term
endocrine glands
Definition

ductless

secrete products into blood capillaries

Term
exocrine gland types
Definition
[image]
Term
connective tissue
Definition

from mesoderm

produce and maintain matrix, made of fibers and ground substance

Term
five types of connctive tissue
Definition
[image]proper, cartilage, bone, blood, lymphoid (reticular)
Term
types of connective tissue proper
Definition

loose (areolar, adipose, reticular)

dense (irregular, regular, elastic)

Term
6 connective tissue functions
Definition

binds tissues/encapsulates organs,

nourishes other tissues,

provides physical support,

combats infection,

stores nutrients,

insulation

Term
loose areolar connective tissue
Definition

under most epithelia (most abundant)

fibroblasts, macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells, blood cells


collagen type I (strong, repeating fibrils), reticular fibers (thin, collagen type III, carbs, reticular network)

elastic (long, thin, branched, stretchy)

ground substance (from fibroblasts, gel, traps tissue fluid, stops microorganism spread)

Term
loose adipose connective tissue
Definition

fat

clustered

hypodermis, meseneries, etc.

fuel, insulate

Term
dense regular connective tissue
Definition

collagen type I, fibroblasts, little ground substance

tendon, ligamen

Term
dense irregular connective tissue
Definition

random collagen arrangement (regular: parallel)

skin and organ capsules

Term
reticular tissue
Definition

reticular fibers, delicate network

bone marrow, lymphoid

from fibroblasts and reticular cells

Term
bone tissue
Definition

many collagen fibers from osteoblasts, osteocytes: mature cells

well vascularized

function: support, protect, attach muscles, store minerals and fat, blood cells made in marrow

Term
cutaneous membrane
Definition
skin, true epithelium (epidermis), dermis underneath
Term
mucous membrane
Definition
exposed to outside body, lined by skin
Term
serous membrane (serosa)
Definition

line body cavities 

lined by mesothelium

Term
synovial membrane
Definition
connective tissue that covers join cavities
Term
endothelium
Definition
internal lining: blood Tunica Intima, heart Endocardium
Term
body's fasica
Definition
skin(epidermis and dermis), superficial (hypodermis), deep (dense regular and irregular tissue)
Term
muscle tissues
Definition

skeletal (long cylinders, multinucleate, striated, voluntary movement),

cardiac (branched, striated, uninucleate, moves blood) 

smooth (spindle, sheets, propel stuff along passageway)

nervous (transmit electrical signals via n.t's)
