Ch. 39 - Animal Structure and Function Flashcards
(59 cards)
Tissue
consists of specialized cells
cells
closely associated, similr structure and function
* characteristic sizes, shapees, and arrangemnt to each tissue
cells function:
specialized to perform specidic function or group of functions.
organs
closely associated tissue that carry out specfic functions
systems
closely associated organs that carry out specfic functions
humans= 11 organ system
Epitheal Tissue
**cell- **tightly packefd, continous sheet
surface- exposed to environemnt and attached to basement membrane
barrier- everything must cross it, reguyaltes exchange between body and environemnt
**Function- ** protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation
Epitheal Tissue cellular contacts
tight junction, desomosome, gap junction
Epitheal polarity
- Asymmeterical distribution of organelles
- electrical charge distribution
- difference in membrane(apical)
Epitheal Glands
exocrine and endocrine
Exocrine
ducts and releases secretion onto surface or into body cavity
Endocrine
ductless and releases hormones directly into blood or intestital fluid
Epitheal Membrane
Mucos and serous
Mucous
lines any cavity open to outside
goblet cells secrete the muscus on the surface
Serous
lines any interal cavity, and secretes fluid into body cavity it lines
Simple Cubiodal Epithelium
Single layer of short, eight-sided cuboid cell
Fucntion and location of simple cubiodal epithelium
- secretion and absorption
- ducts and tubes
Simples squamous Epithelium
single layer of thin, flat cells
Function and location of simple squamous epithelium
- rapid diffusion, process: absorption, filteration, and secretion
- blood vessels
Stratitfied squamosus epithelium
multiple layers of squamous shaped cells
function of stratifed squamous epithelium
wear and tear; protection
kertanized
dry surface(skin)
Nonkertanized
mosit surface such as mouth and esophagus
Simple columnar epithetial
tall columns
noncilliated
function: absorp and secret
location: stomach
