25
gap junctions
allow intercellular communication
26
glands
organs that secrete
27
exocrine glands
secrete through ducts
28
endocrine glands
release hormones that are absorbed directly into blood
29
Glands are classified as...
-multicellular or unicellular -mode of secretion
30
Goblet cells
unicellular glands
31
multicellular exocrine glands
-have ducts, simple or compound -ducts are tubular or end in small sacs (acini/alveoli). -Tubular - straight or coiled
32
Meocrine glands
-pancreas -secrete substances as they are produced
33
apocrine glands
-mammary glands accumulate secretions that are released when a portion of the cell pinches off
34
holocrine glands
-sebaceous glands accumulate secretions that are released when the cell ruptures and dies
35
connective tissue
distinguished by extracellular matrix - enclose/separate organs and tissues -connect tissues to one another -help support/move body parts -store compounds -cushion/insulate body -transport substances -protect against toxins and injury
36
extracellular matrix
Protein fibers, ground substance, fluid
37
connective tissue contains
adipocytes, mast cells, white blood cells, macrophages, and mesenchymal cells (stem cells)
38
-blast cells
form matrix
39
-cyte cells
maintain matrix
40
-clast cells
break matrix down
41
Collagen fibrils
join to form collagen fibers. resemble ropes. strong/flexible but resist stretching
42
reticular fibers
fine collagen fibers that form branching network that supports other cells and tissues
43
elastic fibers
structure like spring. after stretched, return to original shape
44
elastic fibers
structure like spring. after stretched, return to original shape
45
hyaluronic acid
ground substance major components - makes fluids slippery
46
Proteoglycan
-ground substance major component -aggregates trap water -allows tissues to return to original shape
47
adhesive molecules
-ground substance major component -hold proteoglycans together and to plasma membrane
48
connective tissue is classified according to..
type/proportions of cells, extracellular matrix fibers, ground substance and fluid
49
mesenchyme
Embryonic connective tissue -consists of irregularly shaped cells and abundant matrix -gives rise to adult connective tissue -forms 3/4 week of development
50
Areolar connective tissue
-loose connective tissue -different cell types, random arrangement of protein fibers with space b/w fibers. tissue fills space around organs and attaches the skin to underlying tissues
51
adipose tissue
adipocytes filled with lipid and little extracellular matrix (few reticular fibers) -energy storage, insulation and protection. -Yellow or brown (generate heat)
52
reticular tissue
network of reticular fibers. framework of lymphatic tissue, bone marrow and liver
53
Dense regular connective tissue
-one direction fibers (strength with parallel). -Collagenous (tendons/ligaments) -elastic (ligaments of vertebrae)
54
dense irregular connective tissue
-fibers in all directions, strength in diff directions. -collagenous(capsules of organs and dermis of skin) -elastic (large arteries)
55
cartilage
-rigid matrix (protein fibers/proteoglycan aggregates) -chondrocyte (located within lacunae)
56
hyaline cartilage
evenly dispersed collagen fibers (rigidity with some flexibility). -ends of bones in joints, growing portion of long bones, embryonic skeleton.
57
fibrocartilage
collagen fibers in thick bundles -withstand great pressure -b/w vertebrae, jaw and knee
58
elastic cartilage
contains elastin, similar to hyaline. more flexible than hyaline. -external ear
59
bone cells
osteocytes. located in lacunae surrounded by mineralized matrix (makes bone hard) -spongey bone has spaces between trabeculae. compact bone is solid.
60
blood cells
suspended in fluid matrix
61
hemopoietic tissue
forms blood cells
62
muscle tissue
ability to contract
63
skeletal muscle
-striated voluntary -muscle attaches to bone (responsible for body movement) -long/cylindrical with many peripheral nuclei
64
cardiac muscle
-striated involuntary -cylindrical, branching cells with single central nucleus -found in heart, responsible for pumping blood through circulatory system
65
smooth muscle
-nonstriated involuntary -forms walls of hollow organs, iris of eye -spindle shape cell with single central nucleus
66
nervous tissue
conducts electrical impulses and composed of neurons (conductive cells) and glia (support cells)
67
dendrites
receive electrical impulses
68
axons
conduct electrical impulses
69
multipolar neuron
several dendrites and an axon
70
bipolar neuron
one dendrite and one axon
71
pseudo-unipolar neuron
one axon
72
Tissue membrane details
-1 external (skin) -3 internal (mucous, serous, synovial)
73
mucus membrane
-epithelial cells, basement membrane, lamina propria. Sometimes smooth muscle cells. -line cavities that open up to the outside and often contain mucous glands - secrete mucous.
74
serous membrane
line cavities that do not open to the exterior and do not contain glands but do secrete serous fluid
75
synovial membrane
formed by connective tissue, line joint cavities and secrete a lubricating fluid
76
inflammation response symptoms
redness, heat, swelling, pain and disturbed function - isolates injurious agents from rest of body and destroys agents
77
tissue repair occurs by
regeneration or replacement -substitution of viable cells for dead ones
78
labile cells
divide throughout life and regenerate
79
stable cells
do not ordinarily divide after growth is complete but can regenerate if necessary
80
permanent cells
cannot replicate. if killed, permanent tissue is repaired by replacement
81
primary union tissue repair
edges of would close together
82
secondary union tissue repair
edges of wound are far apart
83
age-related tissue changes
reduced rates of cell division and changes in extracellular fibers
84
collagen fibers with age
less flexible and have less strength
85
elastic fibers with age
become fragmented and less elastic
