1

histology

The study of tissues.

New cards
2

tissue

A group of cells and their products working together for a particular function.

New cards
3

triploblastic

Vertebrates are ____________ meaning that they come from three basic types of tissues

New cards
4

endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm

The three different cell types of an embryo that give rise to all tissues.

New cards
5

epithelial tissue

Tissue that covers things. Covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and ducts, form glands, and secrete products like hormones.

New cards
6

tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions

Epithelial tissue cells are tightly packed with very little extracellular space. All epithelial tissue cells have specialized cell to cell contacts. What are the three types of contacts/junctions?

New cards
7

tight junction

Specialized cell to cell contact in epithelial tissues that stops things from passing through. Think of proteins that sew the cells together.

New cards
8

desmosome

Specialized cell to cell contact in epithelial tissues that acts like a button and holds the cells together.

New cards
9

gap junction

Specialized cell to cell contact in epithelial tissues that holds the cells together but also allows some materials to flow from cell to cell.

New cards
10

apical, basal

All epithelial tissues have a top/_____ surface and bottom/_____ surface. = All epithelial tissues exhibit polarity.

New cards
11

avascular

Term that means no blood supply.

New cards
12

endoderm

Tissue that gives rise to digestive and respiratory tracts.

New cards
13

mesoderm

Tissue that gives rise to dermal bone, muscle, vertebrae, blood, and notochord.

New cards
14

ectoderm

Tissue that gives rise to nervous system, epidermis, and neural crest cells.

New cards
15

basement membrane

The point of attachment for basal tissue and connective tissue?

New cards
16

basal, reticular

The basement membrane is connected to the connective tissue by what two lamina?

The lamina are non cellular!

New cards
17

epithelium

What produces the basal lamina?

New cards
18

connective tissue

What produces the reticular lamina?

New cards
19

nutrients

Epithelial tissues get their _________ from blood vessels in the connective tissue that is beneath them.

New cards
20

simple

What arrangement of cells would you find in an area with not much wear and tear that also needs to perform lots of diffusion?

ex: lungs

New cards
21

stratified

What arrangement of cells would you find in an area with high wear and tear?

ex: tongue

New cards
22

secretion/absorption

Simple cell arrangements are useful for?

ex: lungs, digestive tract

New cards
23

secretion/propulsion

Pseudostratified cell arrangements are useful for?

ex: trachea (coughs something up)

New cards
24

protection

Stratified cell arrangements are useful for?

ex: skin, tongue

New cards
25

desiccation

The removal of moisture from something.

New cards
26

keratinized

When cells have died and hardened. This is good for preventing desiccation.

New cards
27

secretion

Stratified cuboidal cell arrangements are used for?

Cuboidal cells in general are usually used for this.

ex: ducts of large glands. sweat/saliva

New cards
28

urothelium (transitional)

Epithelial tissue with the main purpose of stretching.

ex: uterus, bladder, urethra

New cards
29

epithelial tissue

Where do most of our glands come from?

New cards
30

gland

A cell, tissue, or organ that makes or secretes a product.

New cards
31

endocrine

___________ glands produce hormones and secrete them into the bloodstream via exocytosis.

New cards
32

exocrine

________ glands secrete products onto body surfaces or into body cavities.

New cards
33

cuboidal

Glands are usually made of _________ or columnar cells.

New cards
34

ductless

Endocrine glands secrete directly into the blood and are therefore ____________.

New cards
35

ducts

Exocrine glands have _______ that they secrete their products into. The products then move from their to the surface.

ex: sweat, mammary, saliva, sebaceous

New cards
36

unicellular

Mucous glands and goblet cells are __________. They consist of only one cell and produce mucin that dissolves in water to create mucus. They secrete their products by exocytosis.

New cards
37

holocrine

Type of gland that disperses its product when the whole membrane ruptures.

ex: sebaceous/pimple

New cards
38

apocrine

Type of gland that disperses its product with budding vesicles.

ex: mammary gland milk lipids

New cards
39

merocrine

Type of product that secretes its product by exocytosis as the product is produced.

ex: non fat mammary gland products
