-
4 Tissue Catagories
- Epithelial
- connective
- Nervous
- Muscular
-
Organ function derived from
the cells they contain as well as how the cells are organized into tissues
-
organ
structure with discrete boundarise composed of 2+ (often all 4) tissues
-
Histology
a.k.a microscopic anatomy--study of tissues and how they are arranged into organs
-
Tissue
group of similar cells anc cell products that arise formt he same region of hte embryo and work together to perform a specific structural or physiological role
-
Matrix (tissue)
extracellular material which surrounds the cells (within a tissue) composed of fibers and ground substance
-
Ground Substance
- clear gel often found within matrix (a.k.a. tissue fluid, extracellular fluid--ECF, or interstitial fluid) containing water, gases, minerals, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and other chemicals.
- clear gel often found within matrix (a.k.a. tissue fluid, extracellular fluid--ECF, or interstitial fluid)
-
Tissue Fluid
clear gel often found within matrix (a.k.a. ground substance, extracellular fluid--ECF, or interstitial fluid) containing water, gases, minerals, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and other chemicals.
-
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
clear gel often found within matrix (a.k.a. tissue fluid, ground substance, or interstitial fluid) containing water, gases, minerals, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and other chemicals.
-
Interstitial Fluid
clear gel often found within matrix (a.k.a. tissue fluid, extracellular fluid--ECF, or ground substance) containing water, gases, minerals, nutrients, wastes, hormones, and other chemicals.
-
Primary Germ Layers
Initial 3 strata formed in an embryo: extoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
-
Ectoderm
Outer layer of primary germ layers that gives rise to epidermis and nervous system
-
Endoderm
Innermost of primary germ layers giving rise to mucous membrandes of the digestive and respiratory tracts and to the digestive glands, among others
-
Mesoderm
Middle layer of primary germ layers containing moore loosely organized cells which eventually turns to a gelatinous tissue called mesenchyme
-
-
gelatinous tisse
- arrisinge from the mesoderm which containes fine, wispy collagen (protein
- fimers and branching mesenchymal cells
-
-
-
-
tissue
- preparations mounted on microscope slides generally artificially colored to
- bring out detail
-
-
chemical (e.g.
formalin) which preserves tissues to prevent decay
-
-
cutting of tissues
- into a 2D slice one or two cells thick to allow the light of a microscope to
- pass thorough--so that the image is not comfused by too many layers of
- overlapping cells
-
-
coloring elements
- which bind differently to different componenet of a tissue in order to
- differentiate between cell types
-
-
angle at which a
- slice is taken through tissue--important to consider when mentally
- reconstructing a 2D image (e.g. a meandering uterus gland--[pic])
-
longitudinal
section (l.s.)
-
a tissue cut in
the long direction (e.g. the length of the humerus
-
cross section (c.s.
or x.s.)
-
a.k.a transverse
section (t.s.); a cut perpendicular to the long axis
-
-
-
-
histological
- prepartion in which the tisse is rubbed or spread across a slide rather than
- sliced (e.g. liquid tissue--blood, soft tissuue--spinal cord)
-
-
histological
- preparation in which tissue is laid out on a slide (as if placing a small
- square of tisse paper or a tuft of lint) used for membranes and cobwebby
- tissue such as areolar tissue
-
-
seet of closeley
- adhereing cells, 1+ cells thick, with surface generally exposed to the
- environment or an internal space
-
-
seet of closeley
- adhereing cells, 1+ cells thick, with surface generally exposed to the
- environment or an internal space
-
location of
epithelia tissue
-
covers body
- surface, lines body cavities, forms external and internal linings of many
- organs, contitutes most gland tissue
-
function of
epithelial tissue
-
protection,
secretion, excretion, absorptin, filtration, sensation
-
epithelial
function--protection
-
guard deeper
- tissues form invation/injury/infection (e.g.--stomach lining protects from
- stomach acid and enzymes
-
epithelial
function--secretion
-
produce mucus,
seat, enzymes hormones, most other secretions
-
epithelial
function--excretion
-
void wastes from
- the tissues( e.g. CO2 across pulmonary epithelium and bile form liver
- epithelium)
-
epithelial
function--absorption
-
absorb chemicals
- from adjacent medium; (e.g. nearly all nutrients absorbed through epithelium
- of small intestine
-
epithelial
function--filtration
-
E.g. all
- substances leaving the blood are sleectively filtered thorugh the blood
- vessels' epithelium; all urinary waste is filtered through epithelia of
- kidneys
-
epithelial
function--sensation
-
epithelia are
- provided with nerve endings that sense stimulation( e.g. touch on skin,
- irritation of stomach)
-
-
avascular, but
- almost always lie on vessel-rich layer of loose connective tissue (gives
- nutrients and waste removal)
-
-
very highly
- cellular w/very thin extracellular material, cells closely packed (like
- bricks and mortar)
-
-
cells closest to
- the connective tissue typically show high mitosis rate which allows quick
- repair
-
-
layer b/w the
- epithelium and underlying connective tissue containing collagen,
- glycoproteins, other protein-carbohydrate complexes; it blends into the
- proteins of the underlying connective tissue
-
basement membrane
function
-
anchors epitheium
- to connective tissue, regulates exchange of materials, binds growth factors
- that regulate epithelial development
-
-
surface of an
epithelial cell that faces the basement membrane
-
-
cell curface
- facing a way from basement membrane toward internal cavity (lumen) of an
- organ
-
simple epithelium
- simple squamous
- simple cuboidal
- simple columnar
- pseudostratified coulmnar
-
-
found in simple columnar or pseudostratified
- columnar and produce protective mucous coatings over the mucous membranes;
- expanded apical end (giving it its wineglass shape) is filled w/secretory
- vesicles whose product absorbs/mixes w/water to create mucus
-
-
range from 2-20+
- cell layers with only the deepest attached to basement membrane; named
- according to surface/apical cell: stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal,
- stratified columnar, transistional
