Human Anatomy 2026 Study Guide by Michael McKinley et al | Exam Solutions A+ Quality The four basic tissue types include? - answer - epithelial, nervous, connective, and muscular Epithelial Tissue - answer - A body tissue that covers the interior and exterior surfaces of the body. Nervous Tissue - answer - A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body. Connective Tissue - answer - A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts Muscular Tissue - answer - Contracts and moves the various parts of the body. Simple - answer - One layer Stratified - answer - Layered Squamous - answer - Wide Cells, Example: lies blood vessels and lungs Cuboidal - answer - Cube shaped, Cells, Example: Lines kidney tubules Columnar - answer - taller than wide Cells, Example: Lines digestive tract Pseudostratified - answer - Single layer but some cells shorter than others, often looks like a double layer Mitosis - answer - Cell division Internal Epithelial Tissue - answer - Examples: Most Glands External Epithelial Tissue - answer - Skin, Hair, Fingernails, etc Neuroepithelium - answer - A type of epithelium that is specialized to perform a particular sensory function; these provide the senses Exocrine Cells - answer - made in cell and secreted The Basement Membrane - answer - The basal surface of epithelial tissue is connected to Basal Lamina - answer - thin extracellular layer that lies underneath epithelial cells and separates them from other tissues Three major types or junctions - answer - Tight juctions, Desmosomes junctions, Gap junctions Tight Junctions - answer - Membranes of neighboring cells are pressed together, preventing leakage of extracellular fluid Demosomes - answer - Junction that binds cells together by creating spot welds, on the outer skin The structures within the heart tissue anchor individual cells together so they wont pull apart during contraction. Gap Junctions - answer - Points that provide cytoplasmic channels from one cell to another with special membrane proteins. Also called communicating junctions. Transitional Epithelium - answer - found in bladder, transitions from squamous to cuboidal, capable of stretching Can be ... Simple, Stratfied, Pseudo-Stratrified Why would you find stratified squamous epithelium lining the esophagus? - answer - To aid in movement of food through the lumen apical surface - answer - an upper free surface exposed to the body exterior or the cavity of an internal organ Lumen - answer - The inside of the a hollow organ (e.g., the somach, intestines, bladder, etc.) or a tube (e.g., blood vessels, ureters, etc.) Glands - answer - A cell, a group of cells, or an organ that produces a secretion for use elsewhere in the body or in a body cavity or for elimination from the body. Merocrine glands - answer - release by exocytosis; most exocrine glands are this type of gland. (salivary glands) Holocrine glands - answer - The cells in this type of gland rupture in order to make their secretions (Think Sebaceous glands) Apocrine glands - answer - -found in axillae, genetalia, ear canal Sweat glands in the pubic and underarm areas that secrete thicker sweat, that produce odor when come in contact with bacteria on the skin fibroblasts - answer - Connective Tissue Cells that secrete fibrous proteins which form a molecular network that holds tissue cells in place. Common origin (mesenchyme) - answer - an embryonic connective tissue Connective Tissue Proper - answer - Loose connective tissue. Adipose tissue, reticular connective tissue, dense connective tissue and elastic connective tissue. Supporting Connective Tissue - answer - cartilage and bone Fluid Connective Tissue - answer - blood Matrix - answer - Non-cellular, fibrous material that ranges from solid - liquid Collagen fibers - answer - provides flexibility and strength Elastic fibers - answer - If you gently bend
