AnP CH. 4

the accumulation of pus within an enclosed tissue space.

restrictive fibrous connections that can result from surgery, infection, or other injuries to serous membranes

an irreversible change in the size and shape of tissue cells

a secretion produced by chondrocytes, that inhibits the growth of blood vessels

the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, usually caused by liver or kidney disease, malnutrition, or heart failure

a reversible change in the normal shape, size, and organization of tissue cells

the study of cells shed or collected from epithelial surfaces

a surgical procedure to remove unwanted adipose tissue by sucking it out through a tube

a reversible structural change that alters the character of a tissue

tissue destruction that occurs after cells have been injured or destroyed; a result of the release of lysosomal enzymes through autolysis

an inflammation of the pericardial lining that may lead to the accumulation of pericardial fluid

an inflammation of the peritoneum after infection or injury

the accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavities as a result of chronic infection or inflammation of the pleura

an inflammation of the pleural cavities. This condition may cause the production of a sound known as a pleural rub

the repairing of injured tissues that follows injury and inflammation

epithelial, connective, muscle, neural

collection of specialized cells

covers body surfaces, lines cavities and tubular structures, and serves essential function

an avascular layer of cells that forms a barrier that provides protection and regulates permeability

attaches epithelia to underlying connective tissues

specialized to perform secretory or transport functions and to maintain the physical integrity of the epithelium

occluding (tight junctions), gap, and macula adherens (desmosomes)

discharge secretions onto the body surface or into ducts

exist in epithelia that contain scattered gland cells. (individual secretory cells)

organs that contain glandular epithelia that produce exocrine or endocrine secretions

internal tissues with many important functions: establishing a structural framework; transporting fluids and dissolved materials; protecting delicate organs; supporting surrounding, and interconnecting tissues; storing energy reserves; and defending the body from microorganisms

The extracellular fibers and ground substance of a connective tissue

connective tissue that contains varied cell populations and fiber types surround by a syrupy ground substance. classified as loose or dense connective tissue

have distinctive populations of cells suspended in a watery matrix that contains dissolved proteins. 2 types: blood and lymph

have a less diverse cell population than connective tissue proper and a dense matrix with closely packed fibers. 2 types: cartilage and bone

collagen, reticular, elastic

mesenchyme and mucous tissue, areolar, adipose, and reticular
