Closely grouped cells with little or no intercellular substance or tissue fluid
epithelial tissue
Are there blood vessels in epithelial tissue?
no
How does oxygen and nutrition get to epithelial tissue?
it comes from the connective tissue through diffusion
True or False. ephithelial cells have a very rapid turnover time. They reproduce by mitosis so they can grow back quickly.
true
name 3 classification types of epithelial tissue?
simple epithelium
stratified epithelium
pseudostratified epithelium
only one layers of cells above the basement membrane
simple epithelium
multiple layers of cells above the basement membrane
stratified epithelium
cells look like multiple layers because they are different heights, but each one contacts the basement membrane
psuedostratified epithelium
What are 3 different shapes that epithelial cells come in?
squamous
cuboidal
columnar
flattened plate-like cells. Cell height is less than the cell width
squamous
cube-shaped cells. Cell height is equal to cell width
cuboidal
rectangular or tall cells. cell height is greater than cell width
columnar
toughl, fibrous, waterproof protein that blocks bacteria and is resistant to friction, and starts small at the bottom of the layers and moves upward and completely fills up at the end
keratin
the tissue always produces keratin because it is in a place of heavy use
keratinized
the tissue doesn't produce keratin unless it is put under extra stress and needs the protection, then it becomes keratinized
non-keratinized
What is an example of a structure in the mouth that gets keratinized?
linea alba
locations of simple squamous epithelium?
lines blood vessels
lines lymph vessels
lines heart
locationof simple cuboidal epithelium?
lines salivary glands ducts
location of simple columnar epithelium
lines salivary glands ducts
inner enamel epithelium
location of psuedostratified epithelium
lines upper respiratory tract
location of stratified squamous epithelium?
superficial oral mucosa
stratified epithelium is classified by the_____________layer, which is almost always______________.
outermost
squamous
location of stratified squamous epithelium?
superficial skin - epidermis
the velcro between epithelim and connective tissue
basement membrane
produced by the epithelium and consists of 2 layers
basal lamina
What are the 2 layers of the basal lamina?
lamina lucida
lamina densa
loop in the lamina lucida
tonofilaments
clear layer of the basal lamina
lamina lucida
dense layer of the lamina lucida
lamina dense
layer of the basement membrane that is procuced by the connective tissue, andsists of anchoring collogen fibers that loop into the reticular lamina
reticular lamina
Order of tissue from superficial to deep including the basement membrane
the most common cells in connective tissue, they secrete intercellular substance and various kinds of fibers
fibroblasts
What are 3 types of fibers?
collagen
elastic
reticular
very strong, rope-like, strait fibers
collogen fibers
Where are collagen fibers found?
teeth
tendons
bone
squigly fibers that are able to stretch and then return to their original shape
elastic fibers
Where are elastic fibers found?
soft palate
very fine, hair-like fibers, look like net or mesh.
reticular fibers
Where are reticular fibers found?
in embryonic structures
the intercellular substance and fibers secreted by the fibroblasts.
matrix
the matrix can create what?
soft connective tissue
firm connective tissue
rigid connective tissue
fluid connective tissue
Soft tissue types?
connective tissue proper
loose connective tissue
dense connective tissue
Specialized connective tissue
adipose
elastic
just deep to the epithelium, it has 2 layers which are:
connective tissue proper
loose connective tissue
dense connective tissue
cells, fibers, and intercellular substances that are loosely packed with blood vessels and nerves
loose connective tissue
what is the function of connective tissue papillae? And what type of connective tissue is it made up of?
to increase the surface area between the epithelium and the connective tissue
made up of loose connective tissue
tightly packed with tissue that consists mainly of protein fibers which make it very strong
dense connective tissue
very little matrix, just a lot of fat cells packed together
adipose connective tissue
large number of elastic fibers for stretchy tissues
elastic connective tissue
What is a type of firm connective tissue?
cartilage
firm and non-calcified tissue, no blood vessels or nerve supply
cartilage
This type of connective tissue;
forms the template of the skeleton - to be later mineralized
cushions bones in joints
structural support for soft tissues (i.e. the ear)
cartilage
connective tissue that surrounds the cartilage, provides the blood and nerve supply for cartilage
perichondrium
Why does cartilage repair so slowly?
because it doesn't have it's own blood supply
produce cartilage matrix and get caught in the matrix (similar to cementocytes)
chondrocytes
The small space that surrounds each chondrocyte
lacuna
what is a type of rigid connective tissue?
bone
What 5 layers make up the macroscopic bone?
bone marrow
endosteum
cancellous bone
compact bone
periosteum
innermonst part of the bone where blood cells are produced
bone marrow
lines the bone marrow, similar to perichondrium
endosteum
surrounds the bone marrow, it is spongy and forms a lattice called trabeculae which you can see radiographically
cancellous bone
surrounds the cancellous bone, it is very dense
compact bone
double layered connective tissue sheath that surround the entire bone. The outer layer contains blood vessels and nerves, the inner most layer contains bone forming cells
periosteum
bone forming cells
osteoblasts
What structures make up the microscopic bone?
haversian canal
osteocyte
calcium hydroxyapatite
canal in the microscopic bone for the blood vessels and nerves
Haversian canal
surround the haversian canal and secrete a matrix called osteoid
osteocyte
the osteoid will calcify in sheets called what?
lamallae
After we lay_____ to_______ layers of lamellae, we have an osteon.
5
20
Why does bone repair quickly?
because each osteon has its own blood supply (the osteons group together to form bone)
inorganic substance in crystalline formation that mineralizes the bone
calcium hydroxyapatite
how much bone is mineralized? How much enamel is mineralized?
50%
98%
What is an example of a fluid connective tissue?
blood
3 substances that make up blood
plasma
red blood cells
white blood cells
fluid substance in the blood that carries everything
plasma
substance in the blood that carries the oxygen
red blood cells
substance in the blood that functions as an immune response
white blood cells
What type of tissue is capable of contraction?
muscle tissue
voluntary muscles controlled by the somatic nervous system. Striated muscle
skeletal muscle
involuntary muscles controlled by the autonomic nervous system. appears smooth
smooth muscle
involuntary muscle controlled by the autonomic nervous system and are inerconnected to cause synchronized contraction (heart beat) striated muscle with inercollated discs
cardiac muscle
the functional cellular component of the nervous system
neuron
a bundle of neurons
nerve
junction between two neurons where impulses are transmitted
synapse
sensory nerve that carries information the brain (from body to brain)
afferent
motor nerve that carries commands from the brain to the body
