STUDY GUIDE        Tissue and Integument

Tissues

Define:

Tissue                                  histology                               tendon                   ligament

Aponeurosis                         apical and basal surfaces    lumen                    collagen                 elastin                   

Apocrine glands                   merocrine glands                 holocrine glands    lacunae

Parenchyma                        stroma                                  stem cells             fibrosis

Give the characteristics of the 4 tissues and compare connective and epithelial tissues.

 

 

Know the locations of the following tissues:

Tissues Type                                                  Location

Simple squamous epithelium                           alveoli of lungs

Stratified squamous epithelium                       epidermis

Simple cuboidal epithelium                              lines many ducts in body

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining of trachea lumen

Transitional epithelium                                    lining of bladed

Dense irregular connective tissue                   dermis

Adipose tissue                                                 hypodermis

Dense regular connective tissue                     tendons and ligaments

Elastic connective tissue                                 wall of aorta (large artery from heart)

Hyaline cartilage                                             trachea

Elastic cartilage                                               external ear

Fibrocartilage                                                  intervertebral disk

 

Be able to classify specific tissues as epithelial, connective, muscle or nervous tissues.

Include glands as glandular epithelium, inside lining of blood vessels is special epithelium (endothelial cells),Membranes are combination of epithelial layer and connective tissue layer

Classify epithelial cells on basis of size and arrangement

What is a basement membrane?

What are the 2 types of glandular epithelium?

 

Discuss the roles of the different cells and fibers found in connective tissues.

Compare serous and mucous membranes.

Compare the properties of the 3 types of muscle.

 

Integument

Define:

melanin                 keratin                   calcitriol      benign & malignant          metastasis            hair follicle            

hair root                 arrector pili muscle              jaundice

                             

 

What are the functions of the integumentary system?

What are the cell layers and cell types found in the epidermis?

Differentiate between dermis, epidermis, and hypodermis – give features found in each and describe the type tissue.    

Describe suderiferous glands. Compare apocrine and eccrine.

Give the function and location of ceruminous and sebaceous glands?

Compare Merkel cells, Meisnners corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles.

Describe the cells and changes involved in skin cancers
