Cell Junctions
Epithelial cells attach to a bottom layer that separates epithelium from underlying tissue this layer is called the
basement membrane
Name that tissue type. Single layer of flat cells that resembles a tiled floor when viewed from apical surface; centrally located nucleus.
Simple Squamous Epithelium
Type of cartilage (connective tissue) with bundle of collagen fibers found in Public symphysis, intervertebral discs, menisci of knee
Fibrous Cartilage
flat sheets of pliable tissue that cover or lines a part of the body
Membranes
tissue consists of fibers that provide motion, maintain posture, and produce heat
muscular tissue
Type of cell junction that contain plaque, a dense layer of protein inside the plasma membrane that attaches both to membrane proteins and microfilaments of the cytoskeleton (inside the cell)
Adhering Junction
Type of gland in which secretion enter the interstitial fluid and diffuse into the bloodstream (Secrete hormones)
endocrine glands
Type of connective tissue found within blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins), within chambers of heart.
blood
membrane that covers the entire surface of the body and has portions (epidermis and dermis)
Cutaneous membrane
Type of tissue consists of long, cylindrical, striated fibers.
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
Type of cell junction. Connexins form tiny fluid filled tunnels that connect neighboring cells (allowing for transport and communication)
Gap Junctions
Since the epithelial tissue lacks blood supply it is considered .....
Avascular
*** REMEMBER! Even if this tissue is avascular, it still has a nerve supply.
When connective tissue has a blood supply and a nerve supply connective tissue is
Vascularized
membrane that looks like slimy white cooked egg in joints (where 2+ bones meet)
Synovial membrane
Name a function of skeletal muscle tissue
Motion, posture, heat production, protection.
Type of junction web-like strands of transmembrane proteins that fuse together the outer surfaces of adjacent cells
can be found in places like bladder and stomach
Tight Junction
Type of tissue resembles a single layer of cube-shaped cells that covers surface of ovary; lines anterior surface of capsule of eye lens; lines kidney tubules.
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
-Type of cartilage
-Lid on top of the larynx (epiglottis), part of external ear (auricle), auditory (eustachian) tubes.
-Provides strength and maintains the shape of certain structures.
Elastic Cartilage
type of membrane lines cavity that does not open directly to the exterior ex:Lungs
Serous membrane
Type of tissue consists of branched, striated fibers with usually only one centrally located nucleus.
cardiac muscle
Type of cell junction that do not link adjacent cells, they connect another cell to the basement membrane
Hemidesmosomes
Type of Tissue that lines airways of most upper respiratory tract.
Ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium
Most abundant cartilage in body; at ends of long bones, anterior ends of ribs, nose, parts of larynx, embryonic and fetal skeleton.
Hyaline Cartilage
type of membrane lines body cavity that opens directly to the exterior
Mucous membrane
Name two possible locations where smooth muscular tissue can be found
Iris of eyes; walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, airways to lungs, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder, and uterus.
