Q

Surface not in contact with other cells

A

Free cell surfaces

22
Q

Increase surface area
Ex. Small intestine

23
Q

Move materials across cell’s surface
Ex. Trachea

24
Q

Free Cell Surfaces:
Produce mucus
Ex. Stomach

25
Bind adjacent together Ex. Intestines
Tight junctions
26
Mechanical links that bind cells
Desmosomes
27
Structures that secrete substances onto a surface, into a cavity, or into blood
Glands
28
Glands with ducts Ex. Sweat or coil glands
Exocrine glands
29
Glands with no ducts Ex. Thyroid, thymus, pituitary glands
Endocrine gland
30
- Cells far apart - Contain large amounts of extracellular matrix
Connective Tissues
31
What does Extracellular matrix contain?
Protein fibers Ground substance (protein & sugar)
32
Type of Protein Fiber: Look like ropes and are flexible but resist stretching
Collagen fiber
33
Type of Protein Fiber: Supporting network that fills spaces between organs and tissues
Reticular fibers
34
Type of protein fiber: Recoil after being stretched
Elastic fiber
35
Functions of Connective Tissue
1. Enclose and Separate 2. Connect Tissues 3. Support and Movement (bones) 4. Storage (bones store calcium) 5. Transport ( blood)
36
Connect bone to muscle
Tendons
37
Connect bone to bone
Ligaments
38
Type of Ordinary Connective Tissue Location: between organs, muscles, glands, skin Structure: Collagen fibers far apart Function: support and protect
Loose
39
Type of Ordinary Connective Tissue Location: tendons, ligaments, skin Structure: collagen fibers packed close together Function: connect and withstand pulling forces
Dense
40
Type of Ordinary Connective Tissue Location: Underskin and around organs Structure: collagen and elastic fibers, cells filled with lipids Functions: storage and insulste
Adipose
41
- type of connective tissue - composed of chondrocytes - contain collagen - withstand compression - provides support, flexibility, strength
Cartilage
42
Type of Cartilage: Location: covers ends of bones Structure: some collagen fibers Function: reduces friction
Hyaline Cartilage
43
Type of Cartilage: Location: between vertebra Structure: lots of collagen fibers Function: can withstand compression
Fibrocartilage
44
Type of Cartilage: Location: ear and tip of nose Structure: elastic fiber Function: can recoil
Elastic cartilage
45
- hard connective tissue - composed of osteocytes
Bone
46
Types of bones
Compact and Spongy
47
- liquid connective tissue - Erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets - transport food, oxygen, waste, hormones
Blood
48
Substitution of dead cells for viable cells
Tissue Repair
49
Cells of same type develop (no scar)
Regeneration
50
Cells of a different type develop (scar)
Replacement
