Muscle Histology
List the 3 main types of muscular tissue
1. skeletal
2. smooth
3. cardiac
what is histology?
the study of tissues and cells under a microscope
list 3 types of epithelial tissue
1. squamous
2. cuboidal
3. columnar
binds the cells and organs of the body together
The front or direction toward the front of the body. The toes are anterior to the foot.
Anterior (or ventral)
which muscular tissue is striated and acts in voluntary control systems?
skeletal muscle cells
what are the 4 types of tissues
1. epithelial
2. connective
3. muscular
4. nervous
Which type of epithelial tissue is 1 layer and commonly found lining the stomach and intestines
simple columnar epithelium
What three main functions does connective tissue serve
protects, support, and integrates all parts of the body.
a position in a limb that is nearer to the point of attachment or the trunk of the body. The brachium is proximal to the antebrachium
Proximal
which muscular tissue is non striated and acts in involuntary control?
smooth muscle cells
list the three germ layers
1. Ectoderm
2. Meso Derm
3. Endoderm
this epithelial tissue lines the mouth and esophagus. Its smooth low friction surface allows for fluid to easily pass over it
squamous epithelium
connective tissue membranes encapsulate_________ and line our __________ _______.
organs ; movable joints.
the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides.
sagittal plane
When viewing histological stains, there are various methods used to differentiate between tissues. Through imaging the following characteristics identify the tissue...
- striated (stripes) in straight ribbon-like rows
- It looks like that Christmas present ribbon that you use scissors to curl.
Skeletal muscle
When viewing histological stains, there are various methods used to differentiate between tissues. Through imaging the following characteristics identify the tissue...
- loosely arranged (not dense)
- net or mesh like appearance
areolar tissue
The nuclei are scattered in position rather than neatly in a row giving this tissue the appearance that it is in layers (hint). This epithelial tissue also has ciliated structures.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium
The _________ effectively traps available water to form the synovial fluid, a natural lubricant that enables the bones of a joint to move freely against one another without much friction.
hyaluronan
the plane that divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions.
transverse plane
When viewing histological stains, there are various methods used to differentiate between tissues. Through imaging the following characteristics identify the tissue...
- striated with the dark stripes (intercalated discs)
- branched appearance
Cardiac Muscle
When viewing histological stains, there are various methods used to differentiate between tissues. Through imaging the following characteristics identify the tissue...
- generally white to pale yellow in color
- form blobby bubbly appearance
- form in deposits
adipose tissue
This epithelial tissue sometimes appears squamous (squished) when it is stretched out for example, in the bladder. It appears more cuboidal when the bladder has less fluid in it.
Transitional Epithelium
List 7 types of connective tissue
loose (areolar) connective tissue
adipose tissue
dense fibrous connective tissue
elastic connective tissue
cartilage
osseous tissue (bone)
blood
The region that is the more superior subdivision of the anterior cavity, and it is enclosed by the rib cage
thoracic cavity
