Tissues Flashcards
Which tissue:
-forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters (skin surface)
Epithelial
Which tissue: supports, protects, binds other tissues together (bones, tendons, fat and other soft padding tissue)
Connective
Which tissue: contracts to cause movement? (muscles attached to bones, muscles of heart, muscle of walls of hollow organs
Muscle
Name the types of muscle
Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac
Which tissue: is responsible for internal communication
Nervous (brain, spinal cord, nerves)
Which tissue matches these characteristics:
The cells have polarity: apical, lateral, and basal surfaces
Epithelial
Define Apical surface
Upper and free (surfaces may bear microvilli (the border of intestinal lining) or cilia (lining of trachea))
Define Basal
Lower and attached
Does epithelial tissue contain blood vessels?
No
Does epithelial tissue have a nervous system?
No
Is epithelial tissue supported by connective tissue reticular lamina?
Yes
Does epithelial tissue cover the surfaces of the body(external and internal)?
Yes
Does epithelial tissue have a high rate of regeneration?
Yes
Is epithelial tissue avascular (lacks a circulatory system)?
Yes
Which tissue has a high rate of regeneration?
Epithelial tissue
Are epithelial tissue cells tightly packed?
Yes
Name the cell junctions:
Tight junctions, adherence junctions, gap junction, desmosomes, hemidesmosomes
Which junction: zip lock seals intestines?
Tight junction
Which junction: velcro seals and holds cells together?
Adherence junctions
Which junction: tunnels for large molecules?
Gap junction
Which junction: has dots of velcro?
Desmosomes
Which junction: has dots of velcro?
Desmosomes (when the womb needs to expand)
Which junction: velcro’s to basement membrane?
Hemidesmosomes
Which junction: keeps substances from passing between cells?
Tight
