Anatomy

  1. What are the four types of tissues?
    Epithelial, Connective, Muscle and Nervous
  2. What are tissues?
    Tissues are a group of similar cells that usually have a common embryonic origin that function together to carry out specialized activities.
  3. What are Epithelial Tissues
    They from barriers to protect exposed surfaces. They line the insides of body cavities and organs like intestines and hear, also forms glands
  4. What are connective tisses?
    Not just muscles and tendons but basically all tissues that provide support (skeleton) and fill space (fat)

    In the lungs, allow for diffusion and filteration
  16. Where are simple cuboidal epithelium cells found? Function?
    Secretion and Absorption; Kidneys and Salvatory glands. Rarest kind.
  17. Where are Simple columnar epithelium found? Function?
    Absorbsion and secretion, intestine and stomach
  18. Where are pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells found? Function?
    Secretion- trachea, respiratory tract
  19. Where are stratified squamous epithelium cells found? Function?
    Protects and is found keratinized in the skin.
  20. Where are where are stratified cuboidal cells found? Function?
    They are the most rare. They are for protection and is are in sweat glands
  21. Where are stratifies columnar cells found? Function?
    Protection and secretion and found in the male urethra and pharynx
  22. Where are Transitional epithelium cells found? Function?
    Stretches, bladder, you can notice it cause the cell shapes change
  23. What are the two categories of glands?
    • Endocrine ( ductless glands)
    • Exocrine (secretes hormones)
  24. What are globlet cells?
    A single cell mucus gland
  25. How many different functional cassifications of exocrine glands? What are their names? Functions?
    • There are three.
    • Merocine secretion- product released by exocytosis ( most common type)
    • Apocrine secretion- top part of cell pinches of rest of cell repairs itself and repeates the process.
    • Holocrine secretion- cell explodes which causes pimples
  26. What are the most common connective tissues
    Bone, Fat, Blood
  27. What are the functions of connective tissues?
    Connective and support stuctures of body.
  28. What is ground substance?
    connective tissues are defined by specialied cells withen a matrix of extracellular protein fibers and filter fluid
  29. What does "blasts" mean?
    A baby cell
  30. What are chondroblasts?
    they secrete cartolages
  31. What are osteoblasts?
    They secrete bone matrix
  32. What are fibroblast?
    they make most other tissue
  33. Whats associated with ground substance (found in connective tissues)?
    • Glycosminoglycans= sugars
    • Proteoglycans= proteins
    • Hyaluronic acid
    • Together with protein fibers+ matrix = biological glue
  34. What are the functions of connective tissues?
    • Structual framework
    • Support, protection for organs (kidneys)
    • Energy reserves- lipids
    • Defense - immune system
  35. What are adipocytes?
    Fat cells (connective tissues)
  36. What are melanocytes
    They are the cells that give you colour/ pigment.
  37. What are fibroblasts. What are the three types
    • Cell types that secretes its matrix
    • Collagen-very ropy and strong
    • Reticular- forms stroma of organs (grape looking)
    • Elastin-Helps strech and recoil
  38. What are menchymal cells?
    undifferenciated precurser cells to fibroblasts, macrophange and other connective tissue cell.
  39. What are the carious cells of the immune system
    Macrophage, Microphages, lymphocytes, and mast cells
  40. What are macrophages
    A cell of the immunce system. They are Fixed or free. They eat foreign substances. 1st line of defense.
  41. What are Microphages
    A cell of the immunce system. Smaller phagocytic cells
  42. What are lymphocytes?
    Plamsa cells that produce antibodies. A cell of the immunce system.
  43. What are mast cells?
    A cell of the immunce system. they contain histamine and heparine- they cause inflammation.
  44. What are loose connective tissues? Which are they?
    • They are a connective tissue. they are a shock absober and also 3d structure for soft organs
    • 1- Stoma is composed of teticular tissue
    • 2- Areolar tissue which makes the layer between skin and underlying muscle
    • 3- Adipose tissue- for lipid storage and heat generation
  45. What are the dense connective tissues (2 types)
    • They are mainly collagen
    • Dense and Irregular.
  46. What is loose regular connective tissue?
    • Fibers arranged in parallel and have strength in primary in one direction.
    • ex. tendon (muscle to bone) Ligaments (bone-bone)
  47. What is irregular connective tissue?
    An interwoven net of give strengh in all direction
  48. What is connective tissue proper?
    Thoes types of cells which live and function in extracellular matrix.
  49. What fluid connective tissue?
    Distinct cell propulation in fluid matrix (blood, lymph) Aalso have suspended proteins - soluble, not fibrous (RBC's, WBC's and Platelets)
  50. What are RBC's
    Erythrocytes
  51. What is white blood cells
    Leukocytes
  52. What are platelets
    The thing in blood that isnt RBC or WBCs
  53. Which are the supporting connective tissues?
    Bone and Cartilage.
  54. What is cartilage?
    • Cartilage cells (chondrocytes) in think gel of proteoglycans
    • There are three types
  55. What are the three types of cartilages?
    • Elastic- nose ear epiglottis, lots elastin fibers (heals slowly)
    • Hyaline Cartilages (ends of long bones, nose larynx, trachea and fetal)
    • Fibrocartilage- little ground substance and lots of collagen
