ANATOMY 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Connective Tissue, Hyaline Cartilage, Nephron
Document Summary
Store genetic info about the amino acid sequence of protein. Columnar column shaped cells (lining the gut) Pseudostratified ciliated columnar all cells share a common basement membrane, nuclei appear to be on different level (lines the respiratory tract) Connective tissue provides structure for the body, living cells within a non living matrix. Reticular- found in glands and other secretory tissue. Dense irregular: fibers are not exactly parallel. Dense regular: fibers are well organized and close to parallel. Elastic: high number of elastic fibers (protein elastin) Elastic- contains more fibers of elastin and does hyaline cartilage. Fibrocartilage- contain more thick collagen fibers than hyaline cartilage (intervertebral disc and pubic symphysis) Bone- matrix is similar to cartilage but contains a high amount of calcium carbonate. All cell division in the epidermis occurs in this layer. Produced glycolipid which will serve as water proving to the upper layers. Found only in the thickest skin (provide extra layer of protection)
