what makes membranous epithelium different from glandular?
covers outer, lines inner avascular, aneural, varies in thickness between epithelium and tissue is a layer called basement membrane
74
what is the basement membrane made of?
extracellular glycoprotein made by the epithelium
75
how to classifiy membranous Epithelium
layers: squamous: flat cuboidal: globular columnar(elongated. shape is different at baesment membrane, shape is determined by what is seen at surface.
76
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium also known as?
respiratory epithelium. it is ciliated.
77
three things that makes glandular epithelium different than membranous epithelium
innervated, no basement membrane, vascular
78
give a brief overview of connective tissue proper
structural parts of the body, in every organ. The main cell type in CT proper is fibroblasts(baby) or fibrocyte(adult). Fibroblasts make three kinds of fibers. Collagenous, elastic and reticular.
79
Tell about collagenous fibers and where they come from.
collagenous fibers are fibers produced by fibroblasts which are the main cell type in CT proper. Collagenous fibers are made of collagen protein. they are inelastic, but STROng.
80
tell about elastic fibers and where they come from
elastic fibers originate from fibroblasts which are the main cell type of ct proper. They are made of elastin protein, and stretch and resume shape!
81
tell about reticular fibers and where they come from
reticular fibers come from fibroblasts which are the main cell type of ct proper. They are made of a protein called reticulin. Its like a thin collagenous fiber.
82
please tell of three criterion for classifying ct proper
loose/dense. LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUES ARE ALWAYS IRREGULAR! regular/irregular- regular means parallel. irregular means not parallel. fiber type: which dominates?
83
what is loose connective tissue?
always irregular
84
what is loose irregular ct proper known as
areolar connective tissue
85
three types of bone tissue
osteoblast- secrete (mainly collagenous) fibers and ground substance osteocytes- old osteoblasts that are trapped in lacunae( small cavities in the matrix. osteoclasts-multinucleated giant cells reabsorb bone tissue
86
what makes bones hard?
precipitate of calcium phosphate onto CT proper.
87
Three types of cartilage?
chondroblast-arise from mesenchyme. make extracel. matrix, secrete fibers and ground substance. chondroclast-giant cell that absorbs cartilage.
88
how does cartilage become hard?
it is not mineralized, but is firm. If forms lacunae around chondrocytes and chondroblasts.
89
Three types of cartilage;
fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage, hyaline.
