Epithelial Tissue Covers outside of body and line _____ ________ within the body Barrier Polarized cells Apical surface faces lumen (cavity)
Epithelial Tissue Cell layers Shape of Cells Simple Stratified Pseudostratified Shape of Cells Cuboidal Columnar Squamous
Simple Squamous Lines blood vessels and air sacs in lungs _________ Areas of filtration and diffusion of molecules Lab Photo
Simple Cuboidal Line the thyroid, salivary glands, nephrons, ovaries Specialized for _______ Lab Photo
Simple Columnar Lines most organs in the ___________ Stomach and intestines Important for secretion Lab Photo
Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated cells form mucus membrane that line _____________ Lab Photo
Stratified Squamous __________ tissue with cells that regenerate quickly Outer skin, and linings of mouth, anus, vagina
Connective Tissue __________: cells that secrete fiber proteins Fibers that make up Connective Tissue: Collagenous Fibers Strength and flexibility Collagen Elastic Fibers Elasticity Elastin Reticular Fibers Join connective tissue to adjacent tissue
Types of Connective Tissue
Loose Connective Tissue Binds epithelia to underlying tissue and holds _____ in place Surrounds blood vessels and nerves Lab Photo Elastic fibers Collagenous fibers Fibroblasts
Fibrous Connective Tissue Dense tissue made up of collagenous fibers used to attach ____________ (tendons) and bones to joints (ligaments) Lab Photo Collagen fibers Fibroblasts
Bone Mineralized connective tissue ___________: bone-forming cells Osteon Central canal Lab Photo Osteon Central canal Osteoblasts
Cartilage Strong, but flexible tissue that functions in support ______________: cartilage forming cells Lab Photo Chondrocytes
Adipose Tissue ____________: cells containing fat droplets that protect and insulate the body while storing energy reserves Lab Photo Fat droplets
Blood Plasma: liquid, extracellular matrix __________ (red blood cells) Oxygen transport ________ (white blood cells) Immune response Platelets Clotting Platelets Leukocytes Erythrocytes
Nervous Tissue Receive, process, and transmit information Neurons (nerve cells) Dendrites Cell body Axon Glia: support and protect nerve cells Dendrites Cell Body Axon
Muscular Tissue Responsible for body movement Types of Muscular Tissue: Skeletal muscle Smooth muscle Cardiac muscle
Smooth Muscle __________ (autonomous) control Digestive tract, bladder, blood vessels Lacks sarcomeres Lab Photo Muscle fibers Nuclei
Cardiac Muscle Contractile wall of heart Striated ________________ Involuntary Striated ________________ Synchronize contraction Lab Photo Nuclei Intercalated disks
Skeletal Muscle Responsible for voluntary movement Myocytes: ___________ muscle fibers Sarcomeres Lab Photo Nuclei Muscle fiber Sarcomere
Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle Multinucleated muscle cells (fibers) made up of longitudinal bundles (myofibrils) ___________: basic contractile unit of skeletal muscle Thick filament Myosin Thin filament Actin
Sliding Filament Model of Muscle Contraction Thick filaments (myosin) Thin filaments (actin)
Myosin head bound to ATP in low-energy configuration Myosin head hydrolyzes ATP to ADP, which causes the head to change to the high-energy configuration Myosin head binds to Actin at binding site forming cross-bridge Myosin releases ADP and phosphate, which returns myosin to the low-energy position and causes the thick filament to slide along the thin filament ATP binds to myosin head causing it to release from the Actin binding site
Role of Calcium ions in Muscle Function Tropomyosin: regulatory protein that covers _______________ when at rest Troponin complex: regulatory proteins on tropomyosin with Ca2+ binding sites Cause tropomyosin to _____ when bound to Ca2+
Types of Skeletal Muscle Oxidative: rely on aerobic respiration for ATP __________: oxygen-storing protein Glycolytic: rely on __________ respiration (glycolysis) for ATP Fast twitch: rapid, brief, powerful contractions Slow twitch: slow reaction, but longer contraction
Muscles and Skeletal Movement __________ muscle arrangement works to extend and contract skeletal muscle
