AAMI Anatomy II Week 2 Review Quiz 2 Rated A+ Cell the smallest recognizable part of the body that is capable or performing all the activities of life. The basic structural and functional unit of an organism. A group of chemicals that work together to perform a specific function. Tissue two or more cells or a group of cells arranged to perform a specific function. Made up of cells. 4 primary or basic tissues epithelial, connective, nerve, and muscle. Epithelial tissue that, covers the body surfaces, lines hollow organs, (mouth, esophagus) and is described as being mosaic or tile shaped in structure or pattern. Endothelium or Endothelial tissue when epithelial tissue lines the inside of blood vessels. Glandular Epithelial Tissue when epithelial tissues help in formation of glands. These cells are specialized to secrete substances like digestive enzymes, hormones, perspiration, and wax. Exocrine Glands secrete their substances or products into ducts that empty onto the body or into the body cavity or a hollow organ. Examples: sweat glands, salivary glands, and mammary glands. Endocrine Glands secrete their products (hormones) directly into the bloodstream. Are considered ductless glands. Examples: Pituitary gland (growth hormone), Thyroid gland (metabolism or thyroxin), and Adrenal gland (fight or flight). Endocrine Glands Hormones are always secreted by? Heterocrine Gland glands that have both an endocrine and exocrine portion. Example: Pancreas. The exocrine portion secretes digestive enzymes. The endocrine portion secretes the hormone insulin which regulate the rate of glucose in the body. Islets of Langerhans or the Pancreatic Islets the endocrine portion of the pancreas is called? Connective Tissue connects, binds, and supports the body and its organs. The most abundant tissue in the body. Found almost everywhere in the body. Consists of relatively few cells in a generous matrix (the ground substance and fibers between the cells). Example: in cartilage the matrix is firm yet pliable. The matrix in the bone is hard and not pliable. Dense Connective Tissue tissue the provides a strong attachment between structures. Tendon connects a muscle to bone. Ligament connects bone to bone. Aponeurosis described as a flat tendon that serves as an attachment for a flat muscle with another muscle (muscle to muscle) or a muscle with a bone. Periosteum will cover the bone and is essential for bone growth, nutrition, and repair. Perichondrium connective tissue that covers and nourishes cartilage. Fascia a sheet or band of connective tissue that supports and surrounds muscles and other organs of the body.
