Junctions
Chapter 5
Describe tight junctions Consist of transmembrane cell-adheasion proteins around upper part of cell holding neighboring cells together.
Identify the three types of muscle tissue * Cardiac * Smooth * Skeletal
A muscle cell is also called a myocyte
What type of tissues covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, forms the internal and external linings of many organs and constitutes most gland tissue? Epithelial
By definition, adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that contains predominately adipocytes.
Identify the functions of adipose tissue. * Energy storage * Thermal insilation
Choose the locations where adipose tissue is found. * Within breasts * Within the orbits * Deep to the dermis of the skin
A noncontinious patch like area that mechanically links two cells together via plaques and J shaped proteins is a desmosome.
A group of similar cells and extracellular materials that performs some discrete function within an organ describes tissue
Histology is best described as the study of tissues.
Extracellular fluid is any fluid not contained in the cells.
Tissues are composed of matrix and cells.
The intracellular junction shown within the circle is a desmosome.
A tissue found at surfaces composed of one or more layers of closely adhearing cells, is called epithelium tissue.
A specialized layer that serves to anchor an epithelium to the tissues below it is called the basement membrane
The type of cell junction that holds cells together and seals off the space between adjacent cells making it difficult for substances to pass between cells is a tight junction
Name the three main types of body membranes. * Serous membrane * Mucous membrane * Cutaneous membrane
Ground substance is best described as the clear gel portion of the matrix
Primary germ layers give rise to all of the body’s mature tissue.
Identify two processes by which tissues grow * Existing cells get larger *
