Parts of neuron and definitions

- Cell body: contains nucleus - Axon: cell process; conducts impulses away from cell body; usually only one per neuron - Dendrite: cell process; receive impulses from other neurons; can be many per neuron

Tissues

-Collections of specialized cells and their extracellular matrices.

Cell connections

-Form permeability* layer -Bind cells together -Provide mechanism for intercellular communication -Adaptation to physical stress

Connective Tissue Categories

-Loose -Dense -Connective tissue with special properties -Cartilage -Bone -Blood

Serous Membrane Names

-Pericardium refers to heart. -Pleura refers to lungs and thoracic cavity -Peritoneum refers to abdominopelvic cavity

Dense Irregular Elastic Connective Tissue

Bundles and sheets of collagenous and elastic fibers Fibers oriented in multiple directions Strong but elastic, stretch and recoils in multiple direction ex. heart in aorta

merocrine glands

Cells of the gland produce secretions by active transport or produce vesicles that contain secretory products, and the vesicles empty their contents into the duct through exocytosis.

Dense Regular Elastic Connective Tissue

Collagen and elastic fibers Elastic fibers more prevalent Able to stretch and recoil Collagen fibers give strength (for when you shout) EX. Vocal chords

Which of the following statements concerning connective tissue is true?

Collagen fibers provide strength to dense connective tissue.

Dense Irregular Collagenous Connective Tissue

Collagen fibers running in all directions Able to withstand stretching in all directions Also in sheaths, organ capsules and scars Ex. near dermis

Connective Tissue Function

Enclosing and separating (capsules around organs) Connecting tissues to one another (tendons and ligaments) Supporting and moving (bones) Storing, cushioning and insulating (fat) Transporting (blood) Protecting (white blood cells, mast cells)

Mucous Membrane

Epithelium + Basement Membrane + Lamina Propria + Muscle Layer (optional) Many of them have goblet cells (mucus) Variable function depending on location (protection, absorption, secretion, etc.)

Free surfaces

Free surfaces of epithelium •Smooth: reduce friction •Villi (singular, villus): between 0.5 and 1.5 mm •Microvilli: between 1 and 0.1 µm -Stereocilia: elongated microvilli for sensation and absorption (example, hair cells in the inner ear) •Cilia: move materials across the surface •Folds: in transitional epithelium where organ must be able to change shape. Urinary system (ureters and urinary bladder). You will also see folds in the digestive system •Villi and microvilli and folds increase surface area for absorption or secretion (for example, small intestine)

What type of tissue is contractile

Muscle tissue

Nervous tissue

Neurons or nerve cells have the ability to produce action potentials

Synovial Membrane

Apocrine gland

Secretory products are stored in the cell near the lumen of the duct. A portion of the cell near the lumen containing secretory products is pinched off the cell and joins secretions produced by a merocine process.

Holocrine gland

Secretory products are stored in the cells of the gland. Entire cells are shed by the gland and become part of the secretion. The lost cells are replaced by other cells deeper in the gland.

Serous Membrane

Simple squamous epithelium+basement menbrane+loose connective tissue Produces serous fluid - protection from friction Line cavities in the body - visceral vs. parietal Named for specific cavities/organs

Tissue Repair

Desmosomes

keep cells together during stretch, keep cell together during stress.

Connective with special property

• Cells: adipocytes • Two types- • Yellow (white at birth, most abundant, wide distribution in body). Scant ring of cytoplasm surrounding single large lipid droplet. Nuclei flattened and eccentric • Brown (axillae, neck and near kidneys) - multiple lipid droplets of varying size. Nuclei are round and almost centrally located Ex. in mammary gland

Connective with special property

• Fine network of reticular fibers (mostly collagen type I) • Irregularly arranged • Made by reticular cells • Provides a superstructure for lymphatic and hemopoietic tissues • Location: within lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow

Connective Tissue Characteristics

•Abundant - found in every organ •More extracellular matrix (ECM) than cells •Many diverse types •Performs variety of important functions...

Loose Connective Tissue

•Also known as areolar tissue •Loose packing material of most organs and tissues (= stroma) •Attaches skin to underlying tissues, but also throughout the body •Contains collagen, reticular, elastic fibers and variety of cells •Cell types: fibroblasts, mast cells, lymphocytes, adipose cells, macrophages

Muscle Tissue

•Characteristics -Contracts -Is excitable - conducts electrical impulses -Moves entire body, pumps blood, among other functions

Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

Basement Membrane

•Extracellular: formed by secretions of both epithelium and connective tissue. -Attachment of epithelium to connective tissue - acellular "glue" . -Thin, but complex, different layers made of collagens types IV and VII (maybe others), fibrillin, laminins, integrins, perlecan, etc. (you do not need to memorize the names of these proteins!) -Most but not every epithelium has a basement membrane associated with it. The same statement is valid for free surface. Example: some endocrine glands (secrete directly into circulation) do not have free surface and basement membrane) and lymphatic capillaries do not have basement membrane.
