What is the function of epithelial tissue?

  • Protection: protects the body from chemical, physical, and microbial injury and heat loss
  • Absorption: in the gut absorbs nutrients from food. Lungs absorb O2

  • Connects epithelium to the connective tissue and defines the boundary
  • Acts as a filtration barrier for both the epithelium and connective tissue

What are the three layers of the mucous membrane. They include the 2 layers of the basement membrane.

  • Basal lamina: supperficial epithelial type tissue
  • Reticular lamina: deeper connective type tissue
  • Lamina propria: loose connective tissue that underlies the epithelium of mucous membranes.

What are the 2 particular types of neural tissue cells?

  • Neurons: nerve cells that retrieve and conduct impulses.
  • Neuroglia: supporting cells of the nervous system (5-50x more numerous than neurons) protects the nerve cells.

What are the 3 parts of a neuron?

  • Dendrite: multiple, receives impulses and conducts them into the cell body
  • Cell body: contains neucleus and cytopasm and transfers signal to axon
  • Ason: conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body. The impulses terminate into axon terminals.

FYI: axons outside the CNS are insulated by myelin sheeth (product of Schwann cells)

What are the 3 classifications of connective tissue?

  • Areolar: present when skin is attached to muscle, muscle attached to muscle, or where organs are held together by membranes of connective tissue called fascia (loose connective)
  • Adipose: fatty tissue, stores energy and insultates (loose connective with speical propertieis)
  • Fibrous: cartilage, bone, and ligaments (dense connective tissue)

What are the 3 types of fibrous tissue?

  • Cartilage: gives support and permits skeletal growth (contain no nerves or blood vessels. (CHRONDROCYTES)
  • Bone: supports the body, is mineralized, contains dense fibrous interellular sybstances. (OSTEOCYTES)
  • Ligaments & Tendons: attach muscles to bones (FIBROBLASTS)

What are the 3 types of cartilage?

  • Hyaline: most common form, in the nose, tracheal rings, layrnx, bronchi, ends of ribs and artiulating bone surfaces
  • Elastic: in the epiglottis, larynx, and ear canal and tube
  • Fibrous: bundels of collagen fibers in the vertebral disks and tendons

**All konwn as specialized connective tissue

Where is the cartilage located and what are its characteristics.

  • Located at the articular surfaces of most freely movable joints.
  • It has no nerve supply or blood supply
  • It takes longer to heal than bone and is not calcified.
  • It is the skeletal system of an embryo

What are the 2 types of growth of cartilage?

  • Interstitial growth: growth deep within the tissue by mitosis of each condyle
  • Appositional growth: layered growth on the external surface of cartilage, occurs after injury

What are the 2 types of bone (connective tissue)?

  • Compact (dense) bone: solid, composed of layers, lamellae, with no interventing soft tissue (outside/bone wall)
  • Spongy (concellous) bone: common in developing bone, has trabeculae intervene by marrow spaces. Hollow center of bone.

What are the structural and cellular component consist of what 3 cells?

  • Osteocytes: bone cells that are housed in calcified matrix niches called lacunae.
  • Osteoblasts: bone formes, that originate from mesenchymal cells.
  • Osteoclasts: involved in bone remodeling and repair process (multinucleated)

This is the outer portion of bone; contains blood vessles and nerves (outer layer); contains a single layer of cells that give rise to osteoblasts (inner layer)

Periosteum

This is the lining of the cavity; thinner than the periosteum.

Endosteum

What are 3 types of bone cells?

  • Osteocytes: cell of the bone
  • Osteoblasts: bone forming cell
