Question
Answer
epithelial   covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands  
🗑
connective tissue   consisting mostly of intercellular substance in which the cells are embedded, e.g., bone  
🗑
muscle tissue   specialized for contraction  
🗑
nervous tissue   specialized for transmitting electrical and chemical signals  
🗑
simple epithelium   composed of 1 layer of cells, located where substances are secreted, excreted  
🗑
stratified epithelium   has 2 or more layers of cells, located where protection is needed  
🗑
pseudostratified epithelium   cells look layered but aren't, located on the bottom of membrane  
🗑
glands   secrete cell products like hormones, enzymes, and sweat  
🗑
epidermis   epithelial layer of the skin  
🗑
squamous epithelial cells   cells are thin, shaped like flagstones  
🗑
cuboidal epithelial cells   like short cylinders that look like a cube from the side  
🗑
columnar epithelial cells   look like columns from the side  
🗑
homeostasis   tendency to maintain a constant internal environment  
🗑
types of glands   endocrine and exocrine  
🗑
exocrine glands   like sweat glands, they secrete product onto a free epithelial surface through a duct  
🗑
endocrine glands   don't have ducts, the glands release hormones into interstitial fluid  
🗑
mucous membrane   lines a body cavity that opens to the outside of body, mucus is secreted on it to lubricate the tissue and keep it from drying out  
🗑
connective tissue   supports and cushions almost every organ in the body  
🗑
types of fiber in connective tissue   collagen, elastic, reticular  
🗑
fibroblasts   connective tissue cells that produce fiber  
🗑
loose connective tissue   support; reservoir fluid and salts, located everywhere support must be combined with elasticity  
🗑
dense connective tissue   support; transmission of mechanical forces, located in tendons, ligaments and dermis of skin  
🗑
elastic connective tissue   confers elasticity, located in structures that must both expand and return to original size  
🗑
reticular connective tissue   support; located in framework of liver, lymph nodes, spleen  
🗑
adipose tissue   food storage; insulation; support of mammary glands, kidneys; located in subcutaneous layer  
🗑
cartilage   for flexible support; supporting skeleton of sharks, end of bones in mammals, tips of nose, ear  
🗑
bone   support and protection of internal organs; calcium reservoir; skeletal muscles attach to bones, forms skeletal structure in most vertebrates  
🗑
blood   transports oxygen, nutrients, wates, and other materials, located within heart and blood vessels of circulatory system  
🗑
main types of connective tissue   1.) loose and dense connective tissues 2.) elastic connective tissue 3.) reticular connective tissue 4.) adipose tissue 5.) catilage 6.) bone 7.) blood  
🗑
chondrocytes   cartilage cells  
🗑
3 types of muscle tissue   1.) skeletal muscle 2.) cardiac muscle 3.) smooth muscle  
🗑
skeletal muscle   makes up the large muscle masses attached to the bones of the body  
🗑
cardiac muscle   the main tissue of the heart  
🗑
smooth muscle   occurs in the walls of the digestive tract, uterus, blood vessels, and other internal organs  
🗑
osteocytes   bone cells that maintain matrix  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
