Animal Tissues and their functions
ECM examples
bones, collagen, plasma, cartilage, anything outside of the cell
Integrator
control center that receives message and compares it to "normal"
Blood
erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets
simple squamous
filtration, diffusion and osmosis; air sacs of lungs, walls of capillaries and lining of blood vessels
Types of connective tissue
loose connective, adipose, fibrous connective, cartilage, bone and blood
Effector
mechanism that returns things back to normal
actin and myosin
microfilaments that cause contractions
Muscle Tissue
movement
epithelial tissue function types
mucous membrane, glandular, endothelium and mesothelium
Homeostasis
process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
mucous membrane function
protect, support structures, absorb nutrients into the body, secrete mucous, salts and enzymes
mesthelium function
protection and friction reduction, secrete serous fluid
Epithelial Tissue
protection, absorption, secretion and excretion
Adipose Tissue
protection, insulation and fat storage; beneath the skin, around kidneys, behind eyeballs and on the surface of the heart
simple columnar
protection, secretion and absorption; lining of uterus and tubes of digestive tract
pseudo-stratified columnar
protection, secretion and mucous cells; lining of respiratory passages and various tubes of the reproductive system
stratified squamous
protection; outer layer of skin, lining of mouth cavity, throat, vagina and anal canal
simple cuboidal
secretion and absorption; surface of ovaries, lining of kidney tubules, lining of ducts of various glands
Tissue types
simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, stratified squamous, pseudo-stratified columnar and transitional epithelial
epithelial tissue arrangements
simple, stratified, pseudostratified, and transitional
epithelial tissue shapes
squamous, cuboidal and columnar
transitional epithelial
stretching; lining fo the pelvis of the kidney, the uterus, urinary bladder and the upper portion of the urethrea
Cardiac muscle
striated appearance, cells are short and branched - joined together by intercalated disks, can contract in all directions
Connective Tissue
support and circulation
Cartilage
support, protection and provides framework; ends of bones, nose, rings in waslls of respiratory passage
Bone
support, protection and rpovides framework; bones of skeleton
glandular funtion
synthesize special compounds; endocrine and exocrine
Skeletal Muscle
attached to bones of body, multinucleated, striated appearance, voluntary
Loose Connective Tissue
binds organs together, holds tissue fluids; beneath the skin, between muscles
Fibrous connective Tissue
binds organs together; tendons, lingaments and skin
striated appearance
actin and myosin arranged in bundles rather than in loose network
Compensatory Response
action that returns things back to normal
Nervous
cells are neurons, glial cells support and feed neurons
Stimulus
change in enviroment
endothelium function
thin layer of cells that line bloo and lymphatic vessels and heart
Sensor
tissue that detects change
Smooth muscle
walls of tubes and cavities in body [blood vessels, stomach, intestines, bladder and uterus], involuntary; contracts slower than other muscle types but can be mantained at steady levels for longer
