Cards

Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
-protect and support
-store E as fat, bind organs
-immunity
Term
Muscular Tissue
Definition
-contraction/generation of force
-heat
Term
Epithelial Tissue
Definition
-body surfaces
-hollow organs, cavities, ducts
-glands
-internal/ external env
Term
Nervous Tissue
Definition
-changes in condition
-action potentials
-activate musc. contractions and -glandular secretions
Term
Cell Junction
Definition
-contact points b/w the P.M. of tissue cells
Term
Tight Junction
Definition
-web-like transmembrane proteins sew outer adjacent plasma membrane
-line stomach, intestines, urinary bladder
-prevent leakage
Term
Adherens Junction
Definition
-plaque
-Cadherins: glycoproteins
-Cadherins insert into plaque from oppo. side of P.M. across intracellular space to cadherins of adj. cell
- adhesion bells: extensive zones
-help resist separation
Term
Plaque
Definition
dense layer of protein on the inside of P.M. that attaches both to membrane proteins and to microfilaments of cytoskeleton
Term
Desmosomes
Definition
-contain plaque, cadherins that extend -> intercellular space.
-plaque does not attach to microfilaments, but to intermediate filaments (keratin)
-filaments extend from desmosome on one side thru cytosol to desmosome on oppo. side; spot-weld like junctions
-Epidermis, cardiac muscles
Term
Hemidesmosomes
Definition
-half desmosome; don't like adj. cells
-integrins attach to intermediate filaments (keratin) and protein Laminin in basement membrane.
-anchor cells
Term
Gap Junctions
Definition
-Mem. Proteins Connexins form tiny fluid-filled tunnels -> Connexons
-Connexons connect adj. cells
-P.M. not fused together but narrow intercellular space.
-Ions/ small molecules diffuse
-transfer of wastes/ nutrients, communication, quick spread of nerve/ muscle impulses
Term
Differences b/w epithelial and conn. tissue
Definition
1. # of cells in extracellular matrix
2. Epithelial tissue blood supply vs. Conn tissue blood supply
3. Epithelial forms surface layers
-> found together
Term
3 major funcs. of epithelium
Definition
1. selective barriers
2. secretory surfaces
3. protective surfaces
Term
Apical Surface
Definition
-faces body surface, a body cavity, the lumen of organ, a tubular duct
- may contain cilia/ microvilli
Term
Lateral Surface
Definition
-face adj. cells
-may contain tight juncs., adherens juncs., desmosomes, gap junctions
Term
Basal Surface
Definition
-deepest layer
-adhere to basement mem.
Term
Basement membrane
Definition
1. Basal Lamina
2. Reticular Lamina
-form surface along which epithelium migrates during cell growth and wound healing
Term
Basal Lamina
Definition
-closer to/ secreted by epi. cells -Laminin, Collagen, Glygoproteins, Proteoglycans
-Laminin adheres to integrins in hemidesmosomes, therefore attach epi. cells to basement mem.
Term
Reticular Lamina
Definition
-closer to underlying conn. tissue
-contains collagen produced by Conn. tissue cells fibroblasts
Term
Avascular
Definition
w/o blood vessels
Term
Covering & Lining Epithelium
Definition
-outer coverings of skin & internal organs
-inner lining of blood vessels, ducts, body cavities
-interior of respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems
Term
Glandular Epithelium
Definition
-secreting portion of glands
-thyroid glands, adrenal glands, sweat glands
Term
Simple Epithelium
Definition
-diffusion, osmosis, filtration, secretion, absorption
-Secretions vs. Absorption
Term
Pseudo-stratified Epithelium
Definition
-cell nuclei @ diff. levels
-all cells rest on basement mem.
-cells extend to apical surface may contain cilia
-other secrete mucous
Term
Stratified Epithelium
Definition
2 or more layers in locations of wear & tear
Term
Squamous cells
Definition
-thin, allow rapid passage
Term
Cuboidal Cells
Definition
-cubes
-microvilli maybe
-secretion/ absorption
Term
Columnar Cells
Definition
-taller, protect underlying tissue
-cilia, microvilli maybe
-absorption/ secretion
Term
Transitional Cells
Definition
-change shape; squamous -> cuboidal -> squamous
-urinary bladder
Term
Simple Squamous
Definition
-lines cardio and lymph system -> endothelium
-lining of serious mem. -> mesothelium
-not found where wear & tear
Term
Simple cuboidal
Definition
-ovaires, capsule of lens of eye, secreting portion of thyroid, duct of pancreas
-secretion/ absorption
Term
Non Ciliated Simple Columnar
Definition
-microvilli & goblet cells
-lines GI tract, gallbladder
Term
Ciliated Simple Columnar
Definition
-bronchioles, fallopian tubes, ventricles of brain
-Cilia beat in unison
Term
Pseudostratified Columnar
Definition
ciliated- upper respiratory tract
non ciliated- larger ducts of glands, male urethra
Term
Stratified Squamous
Definition
-1st line of defense
-keratinized vs. non keratinized
Term
Endocrine glands
Definition
-hormones diffuse directly into blood stream
-pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid, adrenal, etc
Term
Exocrine glands
Definition
-hormones into ducts that empty onto surface
-sweat, oil, earwax glands, salivary glands
-simple vs. compound
-tubular vs. acinar
Term
Simple glands
Definition
-simple tubular
-simple branched tubular
-simple coiled tubular
-simple acinar
-simple branched acinar
Term
Compound Glands
Definition
-Compound tubular
-compound acinar

Term
Merocrine Glands
Definition
-secretions are synthesized on ribosomes of ER; processed by Golgi complex; released in vesicle via exocytosis
-Salivary and pancreas
Term
Apocrine Glands
Definition
-accumulate their secretory product at apical surface; portion of cell pinches off by exocytosis to release secretion.
-mammary glands
Term
Holocrine Glands
Definition
-accumulate secretions in cytosol and ruptures
-sebaceous gland of skin
