Tissues | Group of similar cells that functions together to carry out specialized activities(come from the same point) |
4 types of tissues | 1)Epithelial/2)Connective/3)Muscle/4)Nervous |
Epithelial tissue | Covers surfaces/Lines internal passageways(cavities)/Form glands |
Connective tissue | Fills internal spaces/Supports other tissues/Transports materials/Stores energy |
Muscle tissue | Specialized for contraction |
3 types of Muscle tissues | 1)Skeletal/2)Cardiac/3)Smooth (walls hollow organs; ex:uterus, bladder) |
Neural tissue | Carries electrical from 1 part of the body to another |
Characteristics of Epithelia | Arranged in sheets/Contain nerve supply/high rate of mitosis/avascular/regeneration |
Functions of Epithelia | Protection/Control permeability/Sensation/Produce specialized secretions/absorption |
Cell Junctions | Forms bond with other cells or extra cellular material |
Tight junctions | formed by the fusion of the outer layers of 2 cells |
Gap junctions | makes a channel between 2 cells |
Button desmosomes | ties adjacent cells together |
Classes of Epithelia | Based on shape and layers |
Based on Layers | simple(1 thick cell layered)& stratified(multiple layers stack together) |
Based on Shape | Squamous(flat)/Cuboidal(cube)(square)/Columnar(tall and slender/nucleus looks like is sinking to the bottom) |
Simple Squamous Epithelium | functions:Reduces friction,controls vessel permeability,performs absorption and secretion |
Stratified Squamous Epithelium | Protects/Keratin proteins add strength and water resisrtance |
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium | Kidney tubules(giant nucleus) |
Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium | Sweat glands ducts & Mammary ducts |
Transitional Epithelium | Urinary bladder-tolerates repeated cycles of stretching without damage |
Simple Columnar Epithelium | Intestinal lining-absorption & secretion |
Pseudostratifies Columnar Epithelium | (false layered)-Trachea=cilia on surface is the easiest way to identify it. |
Stratified Columnar Epithelium | Salicary gland duct(protection) |
Connective tissues | Most abundant tissue in the body/Connect epithelium to the rest of the body/Provide structure(bone)/Store energy(fat)/Transport materials(blood)/Have NO contact with environment. |
Epidermis | provides mechanical protection and helps keep microorganisms outside the body. |
Papillary layer | layer of the dermis is composed of areolar connective tissue, and provides a junction between the epidermis and dermis, as well as ridges for gripping that appear in fingerprints. |
Dermis | The connective tissue layer beneath the epidermis of the skin. |
Reticular layer | body of the dermis is composed of the reticular layer which is responsible for holding hairs, sebaceous and sweat glands. |
Subcutaneous layer(hypodermis) | Fat storage and blood supply to dermis are taken care of in the subcutaneous layer. |
Hair shaft | The hair serves as protection for the surface of the body, both insulating and cushioning the underlying skin. |
Pore of sweat gland ducts | an exocrine gland, with an opening to the surface of the skin for sweat secretions. |
Sebaceous gland | Oil production is carried out in the sebaceous glands in order to maintain flexibility of the epidermis and the hair. |
Hair follicle | An accessory structure of the integument; a tube lined by a stratified squamous epithelium that begins at the surface of the skin and ends at the hair papilla. |
Sweat gland duct | The conduit from a sweat gland to the outer surface of epithelium is the sweat gland duct. |
Nerve fibers | Sensory information concerning pain are simple nerve fibers located in the dermis. |
Sweat gland | The production of sweat is carried out in the sweat glands. |
Artery | A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart and toward a peripheral capillary. |
Vein | A blood vessel carrying blood from a capillary bed toward the heart. |
Fat | Adipose, or fat, has a purpose: it assists in protection, energy storage and heat retention. |
Keloid | Thickened areas covered by shiny smooth epithelial skin |
Dense Connective tissue(Dense Regular) | fibers look like they run in the same direction |
Dense Conn. Tissue(Elastic ligament) | found between the vertebrae |
Dense Conn. Tissue(Dense Irregular) | Fibers run everywhere |
Fluid Connective Tissues | Blood & Lymph-watery matrix of dissolved proteins/carry specific cell types/(watery part of the plasma) |
Supportive Connective Tissues | Support soft tissues and body weight: Cartilage & Bone |
Cartilage | shock absorption & protection/no blood vessels (avascular) |
Bone | Calcified (made rigid by calcium salts, minerals)/weight support |
Types of Cartilage | Hyaline: Most common/Provides stiff but somewhat flexible support; reduces friction between bony surfaces/trachea, between tips of ribs and bones of sternum |
Types of Cartilage | Elastic: Provides support, but tolerates distortion without damage and returns to original shape/external ear |
Fibrocartilage | Resist compression/prevent bone-to-bone contact;limits relative movement/between pubic bones & intervertebral discs |
Bone structure (livin' tissue) | Most supportive connective tissue/Strong/resist shattering (flexible collagen fiber) |
Osteocytes | maintains the bones (bone cells)/communicate with the blood vessels and with one another by means of slender cytoplasmic extensions |
Membranes | physical barrier/lines or covers portions of the body/Consist of:Epithelium & Supported by connective tissue |
Fascia | Layers & wrappings of connective tissue that support or surround organs |
Integumentary System | Includes:Cutaneous Membrane (skin):Epidermis & Dermis |
Integumentary System (continues) | Accessory Structures: Nails/Hair/Exocrine glands. |
Hypodermis | stores fat/also gives fluidity to allow skin to move around |
Functions of the Skin | Protection/Excretion & Absorption/Body temperature regulation/Synthesis of vitamin D3/Stores lipids/Detection of sensation/Blood reservoir |
