Histology- Study of Tissues - Tissue Classes

30 important questions on Histology- Study of Tissues - Tissue Classes

Types of Tissues and Their Discription

-muscular: excitable cell that are cylindrical, branching, or spindle shaped
                         >smooth, cardiac
-nervous: includes excitable cells with numerous cellular extensions connecting adjacent cells to one another
                         > neurons
-epithelial: composed of squamous-, cuboidal-, or columnar-shaped cells; always maintains a basement membrane and an apical (free) surface; cells are sometimes well-adapted for secretory and/or absorptive functions
                         >simple squamous, stratified columnar, transitional, pseudostratisfied
-connective: most varied of the tissue types; provides support and mechanical protection; provides immune protection 
                         >areolar, compact bone, hyaline cartilage

Cells That Produce Collagen of Areolar Tissue?

-fibroblasts

_______ Tissues Respond Quickly to Outside Stimuli by Means of Changes in Membrane Potential, Thus They are Called _______ Tissues?

-muscular and nervous; exciteable

Exocrine Gland Structure

-most enclosed in a fibrous CAPSULE, which often gives off extensions called SEPTA (singular septum)
-can also give off TRAVECULAE, which divide the interior of the gland into compartments called LOBES, which are visible to the naked eye
-LOBES then subdivide into lobules  
-connective framework of gland is STROMA, supports and organizes glandular tissue
-cells that perform tasks of synthesis and secretion are PARENCHYMA, typically simple cuboidal or simple columnar epithelium

Tissue That Contains More Matrix Than Cell Volume and is Often Specialized to Support, Bind to, and Protect Organ Surfaces Describes ________ Tissue?

-connective

Clear Gel Portion of Connective Tissue Matrix Containing Water, Gases, Minerals, Nutrients, Wastes, and Other Materials is Called the _________?

-ground substance
-ground substance is also considered extracellular fluid, or TISSUE FLUID

Two Components That Comprise the Tissue Matrix? (Tissues are Comprised of Cells and Matrix)

-fibers
-ground substance

-bind organs to each other

Type of Epithelium That Makes Up the Air Sacs of the Lungs, Inner Lining of the Heart and Blood Vessels, and Serous Membranes of the Viscera?

-simple squamous

Type of Bone Tissue That Contains Delicate Slivers and Plates is _________?
