Biology: Tissue Types

Definitions of tissues, their functions, and where they can be located

AB
tissue groupingsepithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
epithelial junctionstight, adhering, gap
tight junctionfound in stomach
adhering junctionfound in bladder
gap junctionfound in heart
epithelial tissue descriptioncontinuous, thin sheet
epithelial functionprotection, absorption, secretion, sensation
epithelial typessquamous, endothelium, stratified, columnar, cuboidal, glandular
squamousfound in cheek lining, lungs
endotheliumfound lining the blood vessels
stratified epitheliumfound in skin
columnarfound lining intestines
cuboidalfound lining kidney tubules
glandularexocrine(small intestines), endocrine
connective tissueareolar, adipose, fibrous, elastic, cartilage, bone
function of connective tissuefill in, connecting organs, cushioning
connective tissue descriptionmost abundant, lots of matrix, very few cells
inclusions of connective tissuecartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, blood
areolaryellow fibers, white fibers
yellow fiberselastic
white fibersstrong
adiposefat tissue
location of adiposesubcutaneous layer, around eyeballs and joints
function of adiposeprotection, insulation, padding, energy reserve
fibrouswhite fibers only
location of fibroustendons and ligaments
elasticmostly yellow fibers
location of elasticwalls of arteries, trachea
cartilagelots of matrix, forerunner of bone, firm and flexible
cartilage typeshyaline, white fiber
hyaline cartilagefound at ends of bone
white fiber cartilagediscs between vertebra, ears, nose
bonehardest of connective tissue
sections of bonespongy, compact, medullary canal with yellow bone marrow
cartilagenousthin white fibers
fibroblastsproduce fibers
lacunaewhere chondrocytes(cartilage cells) are found
red cellsno nucleus
white cellsbigger in size and no nucleus
muscle tissuesmooth, cardiac, skeletal, nervous
functions of muscle tissuestimulation, movement
smooth musclelocated in stomach, blood vessels, intestines
cardiac muscleinvoluntary, striated
skeletal musclestriated, voluntary
homeostasismaintaining a stable internal environment in an unstable external environment
homeostasis possible bysensory receptors, information to the brain, sensory effectors
negative feedbacktriggers the reverse of particular environmental condition
positive feedbackchild birth
skin's functionprotection, regulate temperature, blood supply, Vitamin D, sensory
skin structureepidermis, dermis, hypodermis
epidermisstratum corneum, stratum germinativum
melanocytescontain pigment melanin
dermishairs, veins, blood, nerves, glands, langerhans
function of bonesupport, movement, protection, blood, mineral storage
haversion systemlamellae, haversion canal, canaliculi, osteocytes
lamellaeconcentric circles of haversion system
haversion canalin center of each lamellae
canaliculicanals through compact bone
osteocytesbone cells which sit in lacunae
osteoblastbone forming cell
osteoclastbone degrading cell
influences on osteoporosisage, calcium intake, exercise, protein intake
axial skeletonskull, vertebra, ribs, sternum
appendicular skeletonarms, legs, hands, feet, pectoral and pelvic girdle
tendons and ligamentsdense connective tissue
tendonsattach muscle to bone
ligamentsattach bone to bone
discsbetween bone
joint typesimmoveable, slightly moveable, freely moveable
immoveable jointfibrous, found in skull
slightly moveablecartilagenous, found in ribs/sternum
freely moveablesynovial, found in hip, shoulder, knee
types of freely moveable jointsball and socket, hinge, pivot
synovial fluidlubrication
synovial membranearound synovial fluid
bursasack of synovial fluid
arthritisinflamation of joint
types of arthritisrheumatoid, osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritisauto-immune condition
osteoarthritiswearing down of bone
musclewith stimulus can contract and return to original position
make-up of a musclemuscle, muscle cell, myofibril, myofilaments
myofilament structurethin(actin), thick (myosin)
sarcomere partsthick and thin filaments, z-line
