A

Arrangement of layers

Q

What are the two functional classifications of glands?

A

Merocrine secretion

-substance stored in vessicles and released into duct

Holocrine secretion

Q

What kind of tissue is Areolar Connective Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Loose Connective Tissue

  • Lots of open space between tissue
  • Fiber strands mostly aligned in one direction
  • Fibroblasts dotting the tissue
  • Open space allow macrophages in
26
Q

What kind of tissue is Adipose Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Loose Connective Tissue

  • Open, scale like
  • Acts like packing material for cushioning
27
Q

What kind of tissue is Reticular Connective Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Loose Connective Tissue

  • Tiny, stains purple in slides
  • For structure/framework of stroma
28
Q

What kind of tissue is Dense Regular Connective Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Dense Connective Tissue

  • Regularly organized fibers all in one direction
  • Tightly packed and close together
  • Resists stretch in longitudinal direction but not in perpendicular direction Found in
  • ligaments = bone to bone
  • tendons = muscle to bone
29
Q

What kind of tissue is Dense Irregular Connective Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Dense Connective Tissue

  • Closely packed but not organized in a single direction
  • Resists being pulled apart in ALL directions Found in places where you don’t want any stretch to occur
30
Q

What kind of tissue is Elastic Connective Tissue and what are its characteristics?

A

Dense Connective Tissue

-Closely pack in a single direction but the elastin fibers stain dark purple and stand out

Found in places where you need stretch/recoil to occur

-like the aorta or heart

31
Q

What kind of tissue is Hyaline Cartilage and what are its characteristics?

A

Cartilage

  • Stains purple
  • Contains alot of water so good at resisting compression

Found in between bones, trachea, nose, joints

32
Q

What kind of tissue is Fibrocartilage and what are its characteristics?

A

Cartilage -Collagen + Cartilage -Special blue stain Found i places where you need to resist pulling AND compression -eg. vertebral column

33
Q

What kind of tissue is Elastic Cartilage and what are its characteristics?

A

Cartilage -Stretch and Recoil -Continues to grow throughout life -Ears and epiglottis

34
Q

What kind of cell make the fibers in connective tissue?

A

Fibroblast

35
Q

What kind of cell makes cartilage?

A

Chondrocyte

36
Q

What is a membrane and what are the types?

A

Membrane is composed of epithelium and connective tissue Types

  1. Mucous Membrane (mucosa)
  2. Serous Membrane (serosa)
  3. Cutaneous Membrane (skin)
  4. Synovial Membrane (not really a membrane)
37
Q

What are the characteristics of Mucous Membrane (mucosa)?

A

Lining of any internal tract with opening to outside world -eg. digestive tract or respiratory tract

38
Q

What are the characteristics of Serous Membrane (serosa)?

A

Lines body cavity that doesn’t open to outside world -Lines cavity and organs, eg abdominal cavity -Parietal layer lines wall of cavity -Visceral layer lines surface of organs

39
Q

What are the characteristics of Cutaneous Membrane (skin)?

A

Three layers -Epidermis = no vasculature -Dermis = vasculature, nerve receptors, -Hypodermis (not truly part of skin) = adipose tissue for cushioining

40
Q

What are the characteristics of Synovial Membrane (not really a membrane)?

A

Encapsulates any freely moveable joint -filled with synovial fluid which is made by synoviocytes -doesn’t have epithelium so not true membrane

41
Q

What is Endothelium?

A

Epithelium inside blood vessels

42
Q

What is Mesothelium?

A

Epithelium inside serosa
