Chapter 3: Tissues Flashcards
(38 cards)
Name the 3 germ layers
Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Ectoderm eventually becomes
Epithelial and nervous tissue
Mesoderm tissue eventually becomes
Connective and some epithelial tissue
Endoderm tissue eventually becomes
Epithelial tissue inside the body (liver and pancreas)
Layer of cells that cover exposed surfaces or line internal passageways
Epithelium
Secretory structure derived from epithelium
Gland
True or false, epithelial tissue is avascular
True
Transitional cells
Cells that are able to morph, found in organs that stretch (e.g. bladder)
Layer of the basal membrane that restricts movement of proteins and is produced by epithelial tissue
Basal lamina
Layer of the basal membrane that provides strength and support and is produced by underlying connective tissue
Reticular lamina
Where can simple columnar epithelium be found?
Lines stomach and gallbladder
Where can simple cubodial epithelium be found?
Kidneys
What are the functions of simple squamous epithelium?
Reduces friction, controls vessels permeability, absorption and secretion
What are the functions of stratified squamous epithelium?
Protects from abrasion, pathogens, and chemical attack
Where can transitional epithelium be found?
Lining the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and uterers
Where can stratified squamous epithelium be found?
Lining the vagina, mouth, anus, and skin
Where can simple squamous epithelium be found?
Lining the heart, controlling vessel permeability, absorption, and secretion
Where can ciliated pseudo-stratified epithelium be found?
Lining the nasal cavity and bronchi linings–serves for protection and secretion
The 3 basic jello components of connective tissue?
Grapes: cells, pineapple: protein fibers, and jello: matrix/ground substance
Main purpose of tendons
Attaching muscles to bones
Main purpose of ligaments
Attaching bone to bone
The 3 type of fibers are…
Elastic, reticular, and collagen
Fiber that provides strength and elasticity
Elastic
Fiber that tough, resilient, and flexible
Collagen (found in tendons and ligaments)
