Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
Organization of the body
Cells –> tissues –> organ –> systems
Tissue Definition
a grouping of similar cell types with similar functions that eventually make up the structure of organs (groups of tissues)
Epithelial Tissue Definition
lines voids (cavities, organs, or a body); protection, selectively permeable barrier, sensory surfaces, secretion, regenerative, closely packed, polarity (one attached surface [basement membrane, which stains dark] where the cells grow outward from)
Epithelial Tissue Types
Simple Squamous
Simple Cuboidal
Simple Columnar
Pseudostratified Columnar
Stratified Squamous
Simple Squamous
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer, irregular, flattened shape
- Function: Secretion of lubricating substances
Location: Air sacs (alveoli) in lungs; more geometric shape & note capillaries


Simple Sqamous
EPITHELIUM
Simple Cuboidal
EPITHELIUM
- Single layer, cube like
- central nuclei looks like a baloon in a box
- job: secretion + absorption
- Location: kidney tubules, small gland ducts


Simple Cuboidal
EPITHELIUM
Simple Columnar
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer with round/oval nuclei; taller than they are wide
- Job: absorb, secrete mucus… can also have microvilli
- Location: digestive tract lining


Simple Columnar
EPITHELIUM
Pseudostratified Columnar
EPITHELIUM
- Found in a single layer of cells that appears to be multiple layers due to height variance and location of nuclei
- May contain goblet cells and bear cilia
- Job: secrete mucus
- Location: trachea


Pseudostratified Columnar
EPITHELIUM
Stratified Squamous
EPITHELIUM
- Flat cells in more than 1 layer
- Job: protect underlying tissues
- Location: epidermis


Stratified Squamous
EPITHELIUM
Connective Tissue Definition
“cells embedded in a matrix;” protect (defense), structure, & bind together (connective tissue after epithelial to connect to muscle)
Connective Tissue Types
Loose Connective (LC)
LC, Adipose
Hyaline Cartilage
Bone
Monocyte (blood)
Neutrophil (blood)
Lymphycyte (blood)
RBC/ Erythrocytes (blood)
Platelets (blood)
Loose Connective Tissue
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- gel like matrix with a jumble of fibers
- job: wrap and cushion
- location: under skin


Loose Connective Tissue
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Adipose Tissue (LC)
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- Large, round vacuoles (adipose [fat] cells) that have nucleus pushed to the side by large fat droplet
- job: energy storage, support/protect organs
- Location: Aveolar connective tissue, subcutaneous tissues, bone marrow; fat


CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Adipose
Hyaline Cartilage
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- Smooth, amorphous matrix (that will appear uniformly stained) with cells suspended in it (lacunae and chondrocytes)
- Job: structure and support
- Location: joints, trachea


CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Hyaline Cartilage
Lacunae
Chambers in hyaline cartilage that contain chondrocytes
Chondrocytes
Located in the lacunae in cartilage
Secrete matrix
