chapter 4 book Flashcards
(163 cards)
what are tissues
collection of specialized cells and the extracellular substances surrounding them.
how are body tissues classified into groups
structure of cells, composition of non-cellular substances, function of cells.
what are the four primary tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous.
how are epithelial and connective tissues classified
structure, cell shape, relationship of cell to another, composition of extracellular matrix.
how is muscle and nervous tissue classified
structure and functioning characteristics and location.
what is histology
microscopic study of tissues
what is biopsy
process of removing tissue samples from patients surgically or with a needle for diagnostic purposes.
what is an autopsy
examination of organs to determine the cause of death or to study the changes caused by disease.
what are the two layers of the embryonic stem cells
epiblast and hypoblast
what are the three embryonic germ layers
endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
what is the endoderm
inner layer, forms lining of digestive tract and derivaties.
what is the mesoderm
middle layer, forms tissies such as muscle, bone, and blood vessels
What is the ectoderm
outer layer, forms the skin
what is the neuroectoderm
portion of ectoderm that becomes nervous system.
what is neural crest cells
groups of cells that break away from neuroectoderm during development, give rise to parts of periphal nerves, skin pigment, the medulla o adrenal gland and many tissues of face.
what is epithelial tissue
covers and protects surfaces, both outside and inside body
What are some common characteristics of epithelial tissue
composed of cells covers body surfaces tissue surfaces cell and matrix connections nonvascular-diffusing across basement membrane regeneration
what body surfaces does epithelial tissues cover
exterior, lining digestive and respitory tracts, heart and blood vessels, body cavities.
what tissue surfaces does epithelial tissue cover
apicol surface, lateral, basal
what is the apicol surface
cells are exposed and not attached to other cells
what is the lateral surface
cells attached to other epithelial cells
what is the basal surface
base of tissue, attached to basement membrane
what is the basement membrane
specialized type of extracellular material secreted by epithelial and connective tissue cells.
what is basement membranes important role
supporting and guiding cell migration during tissue repair.
