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
