UW-Madison Anatomy 337 Exam
1|156 Q’s and A’s A+ Graded
Cell death - -apoptosis, necrosis
- abnormal proliferation - -neoplasia
- 4 types of tissue - -epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
- epithelial tissue - -lines every body surface/structure
- functions of epithelial tissue - -protection, secretion, sensation, selective
permeability, simple diffusion, absorption and transcellular transport, surface
parallel transport
- glandular epithelial tissue - -most glands derived from epithelia
- goblet cells - -unicellular exocrine glands, produce mucin, protects and
lubricates internal surfaces
- integrity of the epithelium - -basement membrane, intercellular junctions,
epithelial maintenance and renewal
- tight junctions - -gatekeepers
- adhering junctions - -support and stability (like a belt)
- desmosomes - -support and stability (in multiple directions)
- Gap Junctions - -easy cell to cell communication
- carcinoma - -a malignant tumor that occurs in epithelial tissue
- adenocarcinoma - -a malignant tumor that originates in glandular tissue
- microvilli - -maximize surface area, transcellular transport
- cilia - -highly motile, surface parallel transport
- metaplasia - -normal epithelia from one area replaced by another form of
epithelia not typical for that region
- connective tissue - -most common, diverse, widely distributed, composed
of some cells and abundant extracellular matrix
, - extracellular matrix - -produced by cells of that CT
- Ground substance - -found between fibers and cells of CT
- Protein fibers - -support
- elastic fibers - -elasticity
- collagen fibers - -strength
- reticular fibers - -scaffolding
- loose CT - -areolar, adipose, reticular
- Areolar CT - -widely distributed, highly vascular, contain all three types of
fibers
- Adipose CT - -energy, insulation, protection, holds things
- Reticular CT - -space but shape (scaffolding)
- Dense CT - -regular, irregular, elastic
- Regular CT - -collagen (strong), resist force in one direction
- Irregular CT - -collagen (strong), resist force in multiple directions
- Elastic CT - -stretch and recoil
- Skeletal Muscle - -cannot divide, but has other cells that can generate new
cells
- Satellite cells - -generates new skeletal muscle cells
- Cardiac Muscle - -cannot generate new cells
- Smooth Muscle - -capable of dividing and generating new cells
- Properties of Muscle Tissue - -contractibility, excitability, extensibility,
elasticity
- Functions of Muscle Tissue - -movement, open/close body passageways,
maintain posture, stabilize joints, generate heat
- Epimysium - -skeletal muscle
