Tissue Flashcards
What are collections of specialized cells and cell products that perform specific functions
Tissue
What is the study of the structure of tissues
Histology
How many basic types of tissues are there? And what are the types
4.
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
What type of tissue covers exposed surfaces, lines internal passageways, and forms glands?
Epithelial tissue
What type of tissue fills internal spaces, supports other tissues, transports material, and stores energy?
Connective tissue
WHat tissue specialized for contraction
Muscle Tissue
What type of tissue carries electrical signals from one part of the body to another
Nervous tissue
What does Epithelial tissue include?
Epithelial and glands
What is epithelia
Layers of cells covering internal or external surfaces
Surface of the skin, longing of the digestive, respiratory and reproductive tracts, inner surface of blood vessels and the heart are examples of what ?
Epithelial tissue
What are structure that produce fluid secretion?
Glands
Epithelial tissue protects external and internal surfaces from abrasion, dehydration and chemical and biological agents for what reason?
Provide physical protection
Epithelial tissue substances that Exeter or leave the body must cross an epithelium for what reason?
To control permeability
Epithelial tissue contains sensory receptors for touch, smell , taste, vision, equilibrium, hearing, etc for what reason ?
To provide sensation
Epithelial tissue gland cells discharge secretions onto the surface of the epithelium for lubrication, protection, or temperature regulation or inside the body of cell communication is for what reason?
Produce specialized secretions
What are the 4 functions of epithelial tissue.
- Provide physical protection
- Control permeability
- Provide sensation
- Produce specialized secretions
What is the differences between the exposed surface and the attached surface?
Polarity
What is epithelial cells are tightly bound by a cell junction
cellularity
What means the base of epithelium is bound to a noncellular basement membrane
Attachment
What does no blood vessels mean
avasculatity
What is continuously replaced by division of stem cells
regeneration
What increases the surface area for absorption or secretion
Microvilli
What moves fluids
cilia
What is transmembrane proteins that attach opposing plasma membrane and plasma membranes to the extra cellular matrix
cell adhesion molecules
