General Histology

[qdeck]

[q]

HISTOLOGY – define[a] THE STUDY OF TISSUES.

[q]

tissue – define[a]a group of cells that have a matrix between them and function together to carry out specific and specialized activities.

[q]

EPITHELIAL TISSUE – structure[a] This tissue is avascular, has lots of cells, very little matrix and the cells are arranged in sheets of single or multiple layers.

[q]

EPITHELIAL TISSUE makes what structures?[a]The internal and external covering of all surfaces of the body – it also makes glandular tissue.

[q]

Which tissue will protect, absorb, secrete and detec?[a] EPITHELIAL TISSUE

[q]

SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL – structure[a]This epithelial tissue consists of a single layer of flat cells.

[q]

STRATIFIED EPITHELIAL – structure[a]This epithelial tissue consists of more than one layer of cells.

[q]

PSEUDOSTRATIFIED EPITHELIAL – structure[a]This epithelial tissue consists of one layer but looks like more than one layer because of the shape of the cells.

[q]

SIMPLE SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM – location[a]Thist epithelial tissue is found in the lining of blood vessels and the alveoli of lungs. (where gases are exchanged between the air and blood).

[q]

PSEUDOSTRATIFIED EPITHELIUM – location[a]This epithelial tissue is found lining the upper respiratory tract.

[q]

STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM – location[a]This epithelial tissue is found in areas where there’s lots of wear-and-tear: the mouth, the oral cavity, the vagina, the outer surface of the skin.

[q]

TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM – location[a] urinary bladder.

[q]

GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM – function[a]This tissue can secrete a substances. (May be a single cell or group of cells)

[q]

Exocrine glands – notable characteristic[a] ducts

[q]

Endocrine glands – notable characteristics[a]These glands have no ducts and secrete hormones into the tissue fluid to be taken up by the blood.

[q]

CONNECTIVE TISSUE – structure[a] This is most abundant tissue in the body, contains more matrix than cells and is vascular with the exception of cartilage.

[q]

CONNECTIVE TISSUE – function[a]This tissue functions to support, interconnect and give shape to other structures.

[q]

FIBROBLASTS – function[a] This type of cell secretes fibers to contribute to a matrix.

[q]

MATRIX OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE structure[a] A ground substance with fibers embedded within it.

[q]

COLLAGEN FIBERS – define[a]These fibers are the most common in connective tissue with a high tensile strength with little elasticity.

[q]

ELASTIN FIBERS – define[a]These fibers are composed of elastin, have less tensile strength than collagen but greater elasticity (found in large quantities in blood vessels.)

[q]

RETICULAR FIBERS – define[a]These fibers are like collagen, but thinner and weaker. They form the network for many organs. (liver, spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes, etc)

[q]

Vascular tissue – define[a] tissue with blood vessels in it.

[q]

AREOLAR tissue – define[a]This is the most abundant connective tissue in the body, has a watery matrix and is considered the “packing material” of the body.

[q]

ADIPOSE tissue – structure[a]This type of areolar tissue has an abundance of concentrated adipocytes.

[q]

SUPERFICIAL FASCIA (SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE) – define[a]This type of tissue found beneath the skin, is composed of loose areolar and adipose tissue and covers the whole body.

[q]

RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE – define[a]This connective tissue has fibroblasts which produce reticular fibers to form a network that supports the functional cells of the organ.

[q]

DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE – structure[a]This connective tissue has numerous, thick, densely packed fibers with very few cells.

[q]

DENSE REGULAR FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE – structure[a]This connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments. The collagen fibers are arranged in parallel bundles.

[q]

DENSE IRREGULAR FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE – structure[a]This tissue has collagen fibers that are densely packed with no particular arrangement.

[q]

DENSE IRREGULAR FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE – location[a] netting found in the dermis of the skin, deep fascia, periosteum, joint capsules, organ capsules,serous membranes, and cavities)

[q]

ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE – location[a]the ligamentum flavum, walls of the arteries.

[q]

CARTILAGE – structure[a]This type of connective tissue is AVASCULAR and contains chondroblasts and chondrocytes.

[q]

Articular cartilage is composed of which kind of cartilage?[a] HYALINE CARTILAGE

[q]

FIBROCARTILAGE – location[a] SYMPHYSIS joints (discs)

[q]

ELASTIC CARTILAGE – location[a]in the ear, larynx, and epiglottis.
