1
Basic Cell Components To know for Human Anatomy
2
Cell Membrane
3
regulates what enters and leaves the cell
4
Mitochondria
5
Mitochondrion a.k.a. the Power House Site of Cell Respiration where ATP is made
6
Golgi, Lysosomes & Secretory Vesicles
7
Golgi Creates lysosomes, secretory vesicles and peroxisomes for packaging
8
Golgi & Peroxisomes
9
Peroxisomes Contains Catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide
10
Villi & Microvilli
11
Absorption of nutrients and other substances
12
Cilia
13
Moves egg along Fallopian tube; Sweeps debris out of respiratory tract
14
Cilia in the Fallopian Tube
15
Vacuoles & Vesicles
16
Containers for water, food, organic molecules, wastes etc.
17
Ch 4 Human Body Tissues
18
Epithelial Tissue Functions: Protects underlying structures Acts as a barrier Permits passage of substances Secretion of substances Absorption (like in the intestines)
19
Small intestine lining – microvilli increase surface area for maximum absorption of nutrients!
20
Epithelial Classification: By Cell Shape: Squamous = flat Cuboidal = square Columnar = rectangular
21
Skin cells are in layers. The bottom layers are cuboidal. This is where new skin cells are made and mitosis occurs. As cell division occurs, older skin cells get pushed to the surface, flatten out turning into squamous cells and die off.
22
Epithelial Classification: By Number of Layers: Simple = 1 layer Stratified = 2 or more layers
23
Squamous Cells
24
Simple Cuboidal
25
Simple Columnar
26
Other types of Epithelial tissue: Pseudostratified: appears to be stratified but it is only 1 layer (it’s simple!) Found lining respiratory tract (mucus secretion) Transitional: can be stretched – goes from cuboidal to squamous Ex: In the Uterus & Urinary Bladder
27
Pseudostratified Epithelial Cells – Lining the Respiratory Tract – mucus secreting cells (goblet cells)
28
Mucus Producing Goblet Cells
30
Connective Tissue Functions: Enclosing & separating Connecting tissues together Support & movement Storage Cushions & insulates Transports Protection (immunity)
31
Connective Tissue Classification: By how densely packed the cells are within the matrix – Loose & Dense By what the tissue is made out of
32
Six Main Types of Connective Tissue
33
Loose (Areolar): Made of collagen & elastic fibers Found as packing matter to fill space in the body
34
Side Note: What is collagen? Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins (as fibrous protein) in the bodies of mammals. It makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body. Some say it is the glue that holds the body together. Without it, the body would fall apart.
35
Adipose: Made of collagen, elastic fibers & filled with lipids! Main locations: hips, thighs, stomach, breasts Functions: energy storage, padding & insulation
36
Adipose Cells
37
Dense Connective Tissue: Made of Collagen & Elastic Fibers Found in Tendons (muscle to bone), Ligaments (bone to bone), dermis, arteries & vocal cords
38
Tendon Ligament
39
Cartilage: Made of chondrocytes (cartilage cells) – collagen & proteoglycans Flexible Found at the tips of bones, btwn vertebrae, ear, nose, knee
40
Cartilage a.) matrix of cartilage is a solid flexible gel the fibers are invisible at normal magnification b.) lacunae is a shell like space containing the chondrocyte c.) cartilage cell called a chondrocyte
41
What is a proteoglycan? Long chains of linear carbohydrate polymers bound to dipeptides (proteins – remember two amino acids bound together by a peptide bond?). This is one of the components of cartilage that gives it flexibility
42
Bone: Made of osteocytes (bone cells) and minerals (calcium & phosphate) Hard (dense)
43
Blood A liquid matrix
44
Muscular Tissue Functions: Movement – voluntary and involuntary
45
Muscle Tissue Classified by: Many characteristics – we will discuss later in Chapter 7.
46
Three Main Types of Muscle Tissue: Skeletal – attached to bone, voluntary, moves the body Smooth – lines organs, involuntary, makes organs move/work Cardiac – heart, involuntary, heart beat/pump blood
48
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
49
Smooth Muscle Tissue
50
Nervous Tissue Functions: Communication within the body Controls bodily functions/processes
51
Classification based on: Whether they conduct electrical impulses or not.
52
Main types of Nervous Tissue: Neurons: nerve cell – conducts impulses
53
Neurons
54
Main types of Nervous Tissue: Neuroglia: non-conducting support cells – they nourish, protect & insulate the neurons
