Term
Four Primary Classes of Tissue
Definition

1. epitheleal

2. connective

3. nervous

4. muscular

Term
Define: Epitheleal Tissue and Locations
Definition

- composed of layers of closely spaced cells that cover organ surfaces or form glands.

-protection, secretion and absorption

- epidermis, inner digestive track lining, liver and glands

 

Term
Define Connective Tissue and locations
Definition

- more matrix than cell voume

- for support binding, and protecting organs

- blood, lymph, cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments

Term
Muscular Tissue
Definition

elongated excitable cells specialized for contraction

 

Term
Example of psuedostratified epitheleum
Definition
in nueral tube
Term
Diffusion capability rated most to least
Definition
simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar
Term
Example of simple squamous epitheleum
Definition

external surface of small intestine.

 

Term
example of simple cuboidal epitheleum
Definition
kidney tubules
Term
where can you find goblet cells?
Definition

internal surface of small intestine- also simple columnar epitheleum

 

trachea- psuedostratified epithelum

Term
Where can you find pseudostratified epitheleum
Definition
in the trachea, also has goblet cells
Term
Types of connective tissue
Definition

1. fibrous

2. cartilage

3. bone

4. blood

5. adipose

Term
Types of Fibrous tissue
Definition

1. collagenous

2. elastic

3. reticular

Term
classification of fibrous connective tissue?
Definition

dense- more fibers, less fibroblasts, 

loose- areolar, reticular, adipose

- more ECM present

Term
cartilage components
Definition

- chondroblasts- secrete matrix , surrounded by lacunae

lacunae- little cavities surrounding chondroblasts

chondrocytes- mature chondroblasts, surrounded by lacunae

 

Term
hyaline cartilage
Definition
clear glassy appearance
Term
haversian canals
Definition

carry blood vessels and nerves in bone

-run along shaft

Term
lacunae of bone
Definition
where osteocytes are located
Term
lamellae
Definition
inorganic matrix
Term
canaliculi
Definition
join osteocytes with haversian canals
Term
skeletal muscle
Definition

voluntary

striated

made of fused myoblasts

Term
smooth muscle
Definition

digestive track lining

voluntary, no striations,

Term
cardiac muscle
Definition

involuntary, striated, 

intercalated disks allow ventricular contraction

Term
intercalated disks
Definition
allow ventricular contraction
Term
nervous tissue
Definition

nuerons, neuroglia/glial cells

dendrites 

axon

Term
glial cells
Definition
protect and assist the nuerons
Term
parts of pre-embryonic stage
Definition

zygote-sperm plus egg

cleavage- turns into blastomere

morula- spherical stage 16+ blastomeres

blastocyst- ball of cells filled with fluid

- outer ; trophoblast

inner- embryoblast cells

 

 

cleavage, implantation, embryogenisis
