Question | Answer |
---|---|
tissues | group of cells that are similar in structure and preform a common or related function |
histology | study of tissue structure and function` |
types of tissue | epithelial connective muscular nervous |
epithelial tissue | covers surface, lines passageways, forms glands, arranged in sheets, densely packed, many cell junctions, avascular but does have nerve supply, mitosis |
connective tissue | fills spaces, supports other tissues, transports materials, stores energy |
muscle tissue | contractions, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, walls of hollow organs |
neural tissue | carries electrical signals around body |
cell junctions | holds cells together to form tissues, points of contact between cells |
tissue characteristics | shape, size, arrangement, connection, ECM (extracellular matrix) |
epithelial functions | selective barrier, secretory surface, protective surface |
connective functions | support and protection, binds tissue, insulates internal organs, transports BLOOD, stores energy (fat!), immune responses |
young tissue | blast-cell division and secretion of matrix |
adult tissue | cute-monitor and maintain extracellular matrix |
three possible layers | simple, pseudostratified (false), stratified |
cell shapes | squamous (spread), cuboidal (cube), col |
