(77 cards)
what are the four types of animal tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissues
How do cells end up structurally and functionally different from each other
different gene expression
definition: are formed from on or more layers of cells that are tightly fitted together
epithelial tissues
definition: surface of an epithelial tissue is exposed
apical surface
definition: epithelial tissue attached to a basement membrane
basal surface
what are the different types of epithelial cells
squamous, cuboidal, or columnar
What would happen to epithelial tissues if they were damaged?
they would be regenerated from epithelial stem cells
definition: there are no blood vessels
avascular
what are the four functions of epithelial tissues
protection, absorption, diffusion, sensation
definition: folds on the plasma membrane that increase surface area
microvillia
where are microvilli found
apical surface of epithelial
what is the function of the microvilli?
absorbtion
definition: moves substances across surfaces
cilia
where are cilia found?
respiratory epithelia
What is an exocrine gland?
it secretes substances onto a surface
what are examples of exocrine glands?
hormones, enzymes, sweat, mucus, saliva
What are the two components of an epithelial membrane?
- epithelial tissue
- connective tissue
What is the difference between a mucous and a serous membrane
mucous lines body cavities that open and serous membranes don’t
what are the four animal body tracts that are lined by mucous membranes?
- digestive
- resprtory
- excretory
- reproductive
What are three body cavities that are lined by serous membranes
- pleural (lung)
- pericardial (heart)
- peritoneal (abdominal)
what are the three types of protein fibers found in connective tissues?
- collagen, reticular, elastic
definition: produces the fibers and polysaccharids and proteins of the matrix
fibroblasts
If a connective tissue is damaged can it be repaired and replaced?
yes, capable of regeneration
what does connective tissues made up of?
cells, fibers, and matrix
