QuestionAnswer
Name the 4 basic categories of tissues epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
What are the general characteristics of epithelial tissue? cover surfaces, lines cavities and forms glands
What is the main function of the epithelial tissue? protection, absorption, filtration, excretion, secretion, sensory reception
apical surface outer surface that comes in contact with fluid or the cavity of an internal organ
basal surface comes in contact with the basement layer
basement membrane bottom of epithelial tissue - basal lamina and the top of connective tissue - reticular lamina
What 2 layers make up the basement membrane? reticular lamina and basal lamina
Do epithelial cells have few or a lot of nerve fibers? a lot
What are the 3 shapes epithelial tissues come in? squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Which type of epithelial tissue is "leaky" because it allows diffusion? simple squamous
What organs are simple squamous epithelial tissue found in? kidneys, lungs, lining of blood vessels (organs that require lots of diffusion)
Endothelium simple squamous epithelial tissue that lines blood vessels
Mesothelium simple squamous epithelial tissue that lines body cavities
What type of epithelial tissue contains microvilli and goblet cells? simple columnar
What is the function of cuboidal epithelial cells? absorption and secretion
What is the function of simple columnar epithelial cells? absorption and secretion
Where are simple columnar epithelial cells that are ciliated found? respiratory tract, uterine tubes
How many layers does the stratified epithelial tissue have? two or more layers
Where is keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue found? outer layer of the skin or epidermis
Where is nonkeratinized stratified epithelia tissue found? layers of skin that open to the outside...mouth, vagina, tongue, esophagus
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelial tissue? protection, but some absorption is needed
What do implele columnar epithelial tissue that isn't ciliated contain? microvili and goblet cells
What is the function of stratified cuboidal epithelial tissue? protection; limited secretion and absorption
What is the fuction of stratified columnar epithelial tissue? secretion and protection
Where is transitional epithelium tissue found? is organs that are able to expand such as bladder
Why is transition epithelium tissue called transitional? because cells may look columar, cuboidal or squamous based on how much it has stretched
Describe the pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue. all cells are attached to basement membrane, but all don't reach apical suface
What is the function of the pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue? secretion and movement
What are the two categories of epithelial tissue? membranous and glandular
Are sweat glands exocrine or endocrine? exocrine because it secretes into a duct
Explain how aprocrine glands produce secretion the cell pinches in half to make secretion - some destruction, but cell doesn't die
Where is connective tissue found in the body? everywhere in the body
Are the cells of connective tissue in direct contact or in a matrix? in a matrix
Does connective tissue have a rich blood supply or a poor blood supply? rich blood supply
Does connective tissue have a rich nerve supply or a poor nerve supply? rich nerve supply
What is the function of the connective tissue? bind, support and protect internal organs; separate skeletal muscles; transport substances (blood), store energy
blasts immature cells
cytes mature cells
fibroblasts secrete fibers and ground substances
What is the matrix of connective tissue made of? fibers and ground substance
What are three fibers found in connective tissue? collagen, elastic, reticular
What is collagen? fiber that is tough and flexible
What is elastic? fiber that is stretchable
What is reticular? fiber that supports soft organs
What is ground substance? part of the connective tissue matrix that is fluid-like and contains large molecules and proteins
What are three types of loose connective tissue? areolar, adipose, reticular
What are the two main types of connective tissue proper? loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue
What are the three types of cartilage? hyaline, fibro and elastic
What type of loose connective tissue has fibroblasts, macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells, adipocytes and WBC areolar connective tissue
What type of fibers are found in areolar connective tissue? collagen, elastic, reticular
Where is areolar and adipose connective tissue found? under skin, around blood vessels and organs, between muscles
What does adipose connective tissue do? store energy in adipocytes, cushion
What does the reitcular loose connective tissue do? form a bed of support for liver and lymphatic organs; acts like a filter so lymph nodes can destoy the bad stuff
What is dense regular connective tissue made of? collagen fibers in a regular, parallel pattern
Describe strength of dense regular connective tissue. strength is along the axis
What is dense irregular connective tissue made of? collagen fibers in irrgular pattern with few cells
Describe strength of dense irregular connective tissue. strength in multiple directions
What are the three types of cartilage? hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage
What does hyaline cartilage contain? collagen fibers that can't be seen in the clear matrix
Where is hylaine cartilage found? airways, support bone movement, trachea
What is in fibrocartilage? collagen fiber bundles only
What is fibrocartilage good for? strength and shock absorber in vertebrate discs and knee cartilage
What is in elastic cartilage? network of elastic fibers
What is elastic cartilage good for? strength and elasticity
Where is elastic cartilage found? external ear, epiglottis
what are two types of nervous tissue nerons and neuroglia

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:
