Epithelium
Name the 2 surfaces that epithelium tissue is made up of?
Free surface; Basal surface
4 basic types of this tissue
Loose connective
Dense connective
Adipose
Dense irregular
What are the 2 types of glands in our body?
Exocrine
Endocrine
What is the most common type of cartilage found in the body with many collagen fibers in the matrix?
Haline Cartilage
What type of tissue does the bone and blood encompass?
Connective Tissue
This tissue is replaced by what process in the basal cells?
Mitosis
Where can the loose connective (areolar tissue) be found in the body?
Under epithelial tissue and around organs
What does the endocrine gland NOT have?
Ducts
What are the 3 types of cartilage tissue found in the body?
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
Why is bone considered a connective tissue?
Because it has cells in an extracellular matrix, supports and protects the body, and connects the body structurally.
What is unique about the basement membrane of the epithelial tissue?
Avascular
What are fat cells filled with
Tightly packed fat cells and Oil droplets
Name an endocrine gland?
Thyroid
Pancreatic/insulin
Hallowed out space in the cartilage matrix where chondrocytes cells live?
Lacuna
Give an example of a Labile cell in the body?
Skin cells (undergo mitosis regularly and quickly)
How is epithelial tissue classified (2 ways)?
Layers of cells
Shape of cells
Where can the regular dense connective tissue be found in the body?
Tendons and Ligaments
Give an example of a apocrine exocrine gland and what does it have in its secretion?
Mammary gland
Will have cytoplasm
Where will you find fibrocartilage in the human body?
Joints of the backbone
How does a stable cell - like a broken bone - heal, and is it quick or slow?
Does not regularly undergo mitosis, but will pull in surrounding tissue to heal the bone. Not quick.
Give an example of stratified squamous epithelium in the body?
The skin
What connective tissue has NO elastic portein fibers within it?
Bone and Blood
What is a Holocrine gland and what do they have to do with pimples/acne?
Secretions made up of disintegrated cells
Exocrine
Oil mixes with bacteria on face and causes pimples, more active in adolescence.
Where will you find elastic cartilage?
Outer ear
Give an example of a permandent cell in the body and will it repair itself?
Nerve cells in the brain will not repair itself if damaged.
