4 types of tissue |
Epithelial Tissue Connective Tissue Muscle Tissue Nervous Tissue |
|
Epithelial Tissue |
Is a sheet of 1/more layers of closely packed cells |
|
4 functions of epithelial tissue |
Protection Selective permeability Secretion Sensory Reception |
|
Classification of Epithelial Tissue |
Given 2 names - 1st for the # of cell Layers - 2nd for the shape of the cells |
|
Simple Epithelial |
One cell layer to the basement membrane |
|
Stratified Epithelium |
2/more layers of epithelial |
|
Pseudostratified |
Columnar epithelium: looks layered; all cells contact basement membrane |
|
Exocrine glands |
secrete their products onto body surfaces or into body cavities |
|
Endocrine glands |
internally secreting; secrete hormones (ductless glands) |
|
Which of the following are characteristics of Epithelial Tissue? a) cells closely bound by specialized contact b) supported by connective tissue c) Apical d) secretion, protection, absorption, filtration |
D) secretion, protection, absorption, filtration |
|
Merocrine glands |
package secretion into vesicles, release by oxocytosis |
|
Apocrine glands |
apical membrane pinches off, contains secreation |
|
What tissue lines the majority of the digestive tract? |
simple columnar |
|
one of these is not like the other Columnar Areolar Cuboidal Squamous |
Areolar |
|
What tissue supports, protects and binds organs? |
Connective |
|
Contracts when stimulated by nervous system; moves the skeleton |
Muscle Tissue |
|
Receive and transmits and process electrical signals from sensory receptors |
Nervous tissue |
|
The strongest and most abundant fibers, they allow connective tissues to resist tension. |
Collagen fibers |
|
These long, thin, branching fibers form wide networks within the extracellular matrix and posses the ability to stretch and then return to their original length. |
Elastic fibers |
|
These short branching fibers cluster into delicate networks and have the ability to glide freely across one another whenever the network is pulled, allowing give |
Reticular fibers |
|
Primary tissue of ligaments and tendons |
Dense regular connective tissue |
|
Forms embryonic skeleton and covers the ends of long bones |
Hyaline Cartilage |
|
Connective tissue of the skeletal system |
Bone |
|
Primary tissue of the dermis |
Dense irregular connective tissue |
|
Liquid connective tissue found within the cardiovascular system |
BLOOD |
|
produces extracellular matrix of cartilage |
Chondrblast |
|
Embryonic origin: Nervous Tissue |
Ectoderm |
|
Embryonic Origin: Connective tissue and muscle tissue |
Mesoderm |
|
Embryonic Origin: Epithelial tissue |
Endoderm |
|
Muscle tissue Highly cellular, well vascularized tisssues responsible for most of the body movement. Voluntary movement |
Skeletal muscle tissue |
|
Muscle tissue Propels blood into the circulation. Branching cells that appear striated involuntary movement |
Cardiac Muscle Tissue |
|
Muscle tissue Propels substances along internal passageways Location: stomach, intestines, airways, urinary bladder, uterus and blood vessels |
Smooth Muscle tissue |
|
