Exam #1 Chapter 4 (Epithelial tissue and connective tissue) Flashcards
(148 cards)
collections of specialized cells and the extracellular substances surrounding them.
tissues
four primary types of tissue
1) epithelial
2) connective
3) muscle
4) nervous
which tissues are the most diverse in form?
epithelial and connective
what are epithelial and connective tissue classified by?
structure
what type of structure is looked at for epithelial and connective tissue? 3 (CRC)
1) cell shape
2) relationship of cells to one another
3) composition of the extracellular matrix
what are muscle and nervous tissue classified by? (3) (SFL)
1) structure
2) functional characteristics
3) location
what is an example of the tissues being interdependent on one another?
muscle tissue cannot produce movement unless it receives oxygen carried by red blood cells and bone can’t form unless epithelial tissue absorbs calcium and other nutrients from the digestive tract.
what does epithelial tissue form?
surfaces and glands
what does connective tissue do? (4) (PBSP)
1) protect and support the body
2) bind organs together
3) store energy reserves
4) provide immunity
what does muscle tissue do?
contract
what does nervous tissue do?
conduct nerve impulses
which nerve tissues are more specialized?
nervous and muscle
how do organs do what they do?
because of tissue composition
what do different tissues have?
different characteristics or properties
how can a great deal of information be obtained about a person?
by examining their tissues
what are 3 ways to examine tissues?
1) blood
2) biopsy
3) pap smear
4) autopsy
the process of removing tissue samples from patients surgically or with a needle for diagnostic purposes to examine various disorders
biopsy
examination of organs of a dead body to determine the cause of death or to study changes caused by a disease
autopsy
what is often part of an autopsy?
microscopic examination
what two layers form approximately 13 or 14 days after fertilization?
1) epiblast
2) hypoblast
after the cells of the epiblast migrate between the two layers what forms?
3 embryonic germ layers
what are the 3 embryonic germ layers?
1) endoderm
2) mesoderm
3) ectoderm
what do the germ layers give rise to?
all the tissues of the body
what layer is the endoderm and what does it form?
the inner layer, the lining of the digestive tract and its derivatives
