Cards

Term
Primitive Streak
Definition

-gives rise to endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm

 

-starts from tail to head

 

-comes in through midline

Term

Gastrulation (3.5)

 

3 Germ Layers

Definition

-movement of cells out of primitive streak to form germ layers

 

-endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm

Term
Nerulation (3.7)
Definition
Gives rise to the nervous system
Term
Ectoderm
Definition

1.) Epidermis: skin

 

2.) Neural Tube: central nervous system

 

3.) Neural Crest (individual cells): sensory & autonomic neurons (PNS), melanocytes, muscle of face

Term
Mesoderm
Definition

1.) Notochord (below neural tube)

 

2.) Somites: break into 3 parts

 

3.) Intermediate mesoderm: kidneys and gonads

 

4.) Lateral plates: somatic and splanchinic layer

Term
Notochord
Definition
becomes the Nucleus Pulposus: disct between vertebrae
Term
3 parts of Somites (3.9)
Definition

1.) Dermatome: dermis of dorsal skin

 

2.) Myotome: muscle of body walls and limbs

 

3.) Sclerotome: bone of vertebrae and ribs

Term
Splanchnic lateral plates (mesoderm)
Definition

1.) Walls of digestive and respiratory tubes

 

2.) Visceral serosa layer: outer lining of organs, part of coelom

 

3.) Heart & Blood vessels

Term
Somatic lateral plates (mesoderm)
Definition

1.) Dermis of ventral skin

 

2.) Parietal serosa: other part of coelom lining

 

3.) Connective tissue of bones and limbs

Term
Lateral plates
Definition

-somatic and splanchnic layers

 

-becomes the coelom: peritoneal, pericardial, and pleural cavities

Term
Endoderm
Definition

-becomes the epithelial lining: of digestive tubes, respiratory tubes, urinary bladder, secretory cells of liver and pancreas

 

-innermost layer of cells of the digestive tract

Term
Four basic tissue types
Definition

1.) Epithelium

 

2.) Connective

 

3.) Muscle

 

4.) Nervous

Term
Characteristics of Epithelium (4.3)
Definition

1.)cellularity

2.)specialized junction between cells

3.)cell polarity

4.)supported by connective tissue

5.)avascular by innervated

6.)regenerates by cell division

7.)undergoes cell division (skin & digestive tract): to replace lost cells

Term

Simple epithelium

 

-4 types

Definition

-only 1 cell layer thick

1.) Simple squamous

2.) Simple cuboidal

3.) Simple columnar

4.) Pseudostratified columnar

Term
Simple squamous
Definition

-very flat cells

 

-functions in filtration and diffusion

Term
Simple cuboidal
Definition

-equally high and wide (like a cube)

 

-functions in secretion and absorption

Term
Simple columnar
Definition

-tall

 

-also functions in secretion and absorption

Term
Pseudostratified columnar
Definition

-tall but irregular shape so it appears to have multiple

 

Term
Stratified Epithelium
Definition

-has multiple layers

 

-main function is protection of underlying tissues

 

-also subdivided in squamous, cubodial, and columnar based on shape in apical layer (next to lumen)

Term
Transitional Epithelium
Definition

-has multiple layers

 

-apical layer cells flatten as tissue is stretched

 

-functions in protection as well as allowing stretching (urinary structure fill)

Term
Connective Tissue
Definition

-few cells, surrounded by ECM (ground substance and protein fibers)

 

-contains collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastic fibers

 

-water is held by complex carbohydrates (glycosaminoglycans) by themselves

 

-water can also be attached to proteins (proteoglycans) which are hydrophilic

Term
Collagen Fibers
Definition

-contained in connective tissue

 

-resist pulling

Term
4 Types of Connective Tissue
Definition

1.) Connective Tissue Proper

-resist tension (pulling) due to collagen fiber

 

2.) Cartilage

-resist compression (pushing)

 

3.) Bone

-resist both tension and compression

 

4.) Blood

Term
Ground substance
Definition

-contained in ECM along with protein fibers of connective tissue

 

-frequently holds fluid but usually not tighthly allowing for fluid movement and diffusion of disolved molecules

Term
Reticular fibers
Definition

-contained in connnective tissue

 

-forms a network that allows some stretching

Term
Elastic Fiber
Definition
-stretches then recoils back to original length
Term
Connective Tissue Proper
Definition

-resist tension (pulling) due to collagen fibers

 

-divided in to 2 subclass

1.) Loose: proteins fibers well seperated by ground substance

2.) Dense: fibers are closely packed

Term
Areolar Connective Tissue
Definition

-connective tissue proper

 

-basic tissue within organs

-3 types of protein fibers in gel-like ground substance that holds extracellular fluid (interstitial fluid)

 

-includes fibroblast (make the ECM), immune cells, adipose cells

Term
Adipose Tissue
Definition

-type of connective tissue

 

-like areolar tissue, but almost all cells are adipose cells (fat)

 

-contains all 3 fibesrs

Term
Reticular Tissue
Definition

-all fibers are reticular proteins to form network with spaces

 

-found in bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes

 

-no collagen or elastic

Term
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Definition

-lots of collagen fibers to really resist pulling

 

-fibers arranged irregularly

 

-located in dermis and fibrous capsules around joint

 

Term
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
Definition

-collagen fibers are arranged parallel

 

-located in ligaments, tendons, aponeuroses (flat tendon-like membrane)

 

-also called fibrous connective tissue

Term
Elastic Connective Tissue
Definition

-have a lot of elastic fibers to provide recoil

 

-located in arterial walls, bronchial tubes, and certain ligaments between vertebrae

 

-no collagen fibers

Term

Cartilage

 

3 different types

Definition

-cells are chondrocytes

 

-resist compression (pushing)

 

-type of connective tissue

 

1.) Hyaline

2.) Elastic

3.) Fibrocartilage

Term
Bone
Definition

-cells are osteocytes

 

-type of connective tissue

 

-resist pulling and pushing equally well

Term
Blood
Definition

-red blood cells involved in oxygen transport, white blood cells (immune system), and platelets (involved in blood clotting)

 

-its extracellular matrix is liquid plasma (no protein fibers)

Term
3 types of muscle
Definition

1.) Skeletal

 

2.) Cardiac

 

3.) Smooth
