Question
Answer
Function
germ layers   the primary tissue layers that will produce the major tissue types    
🗑
3 primary germ layers   ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm    
🗑
ectoderm   outside germ layer in the digestive system, liver, pancreas and lungs    
🗑
mesoderm   middle germ layer that forms muscle and cardiovascular systems, also in blood and skeleton    
🗑
endoderm   inside germ layer that forms skin and nervous system    
🗑
histology   study of tissues    
🗑
3 tissue types   epithelia, connective, muscle, and neural    
🗑
tissue   groups of cells and their non-cellular products similar in structure and function    
🗑
epithelium tissue   almost no intercellular space b/t cells, has no blood supply, cells are attached by basement membrane, has 3 categories    
🗑
connective tissue   found throughout body internally, designed to connect other tissues, most abundant tissue, has more non-cellular parts than cells, has 4 categories    
🗑
nervous tissue   composed of neurons and support cells, has more support cells than neurons    
🗑
muscle tissue   specialized in contraction, different cell structure in its power, subdivided into three categories    
🗑
epithelium tissue structure   has 2 types: simple and stratified and 3 kinds of shapes: squamous, cuboidal, and columnar    
🗑
connective tissue structure   has 4 types: connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, blood    
🗑
nervous tissue function and area   gives commans, controls, and communicates, found in brain, spinal chord, and nerves    
🗑
muscle tissue structure   subdivided into 3 tissue types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth    
🗑
simple epithelium tissue   single layered cells    
🗑
stratified epithelium tissue   multiple layered cells, classified by the cells on top (apical layer)    
🗑
simple squamous epithelial cells   flat tissue cells found in the lungs and lining of the blood   cells that reduce friction, for lining and protection  
🗑
simple cuboidal epithelial cells   cube-like cells found in kidneys   cells that secrete and absorb  
🗑
simple columnar epithelial cells   long and tall looking cells found in digestive tract   cells that secrete and absorb  
🗑
simple ciliated columnar epithelial cells   long with hair-like structures found in uteran tubes   cells that transport eggs or sperm to site of fertilization  
🗑
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells   long cells with smaller cells all connected to basement membrane found in upper respiratory tract   cell that protects, secretes, brings up mucous  
🗑
stratified keritonized squamous epithelial cells   layered skin cells containing insoluble protein found in hair and nails   cells that protect  
🗑
stratified non-keritonized squamous epithelial cells   live, wet surface cells located in lips, esophagus, oral/nasal cavity, and vagina   cells that provide resistance from abrasions as long as it is kept moist  
🗑
transitional epithelial cells   cells have several layers and vary in shape, found in urinary bladder   cells that stretch  
🗑
connective tissue   tissue found throughout body and designed to connect other tissues, is the most abundant and has more non-cellular products than actual cells that helps classify tissue    
🗑
4 types of connective tissue   connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood    
🗑
3 basic components of all connective tissue   specialized cells, extracellular protein fibers, and fluid called ground substance    
🗑
loose areolar connective tissue   part of connective tissue proper, has a lot of non-cell products, looks like threads w/some cells, found underneath epithelium tissue   tissue that provides padding and stretches  
🗑
adipose tissue   part of the connective tissue proper composed of fat cells, tightly packed found under skin   tissue that serves as packing and energy source  
🗑
reticular connective tissue   part of connective tissue proper that has blackish thorns, found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen   tissue that acts as a net to catch immune or blood cells  
🗑
dense regular connective tissue   part of the connective tissue proper that has collagen proteins(pink fibers), found in tendons and ligaments   tissue that attaches bones to bones  
🗑
dense irregular connective tissue   part of the connective tissue proper that has collagen fibers that go every which way, found in the dermis of skin   tissue acts like leather on the skin, protecting it from abrasions  
🗑
hyaline cartilage   meaning rubber, this cartilage has cells called chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae or pool, found in rib cage   cartilage reinforces and supports and is strong and flexible  
🗑
elastic cartilage   cartilage that has black elastic-like hairy fibers located in the external ear   cartilage that gives flexibility and support to organ  
🗑
fribrocartilage cartilage   cartilage with blue collagen fibers found in the intervertebral disc of the vertebrae   cartilage supports knee and spinal joints because of its strength  
🗑
bone (osseous tissue)   tissue has hard solid non-cellular products (matrix) yet somewhat flexible located in bones   tissue provides structure  
🗑
blood tissue   part of connective tissue composed of red and white cells, found in blood vessels   tissue transports oxygen and nutrients, removes waste, and transports hormones  
🗑
nervous tissue   tissue composed of neurons and an abundance of yellow support cells, found in brain, spinal chord, and nerves   tissue commands, controls, and communicates  
🗑
muscle tissue   tissue specialized for contraction, has 3 types of tissue that differ in organization   tissue capable of powerful contractions that shorten the cell  
🗑
3 types of muscle tissue   skeletal, cardiac, and smooth    
🗑
skeletal muscle   tissue is long, cylindrical, striated and multinucleate, mixed with conn. tissue and neural tissue   tissue moves the skeleton, guards the e/e to digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts, generates heat, protects internal organs  
🗑
cardiac muscle   cells are short, branched, and striated, usually with single nucleus, cells are interconnected by intercalated discs, located in the heart   tissue circulates blood and maintains blood pressure  
🗑
smooth muscle   tissue cells are short, spindle-shaped, and nonstriated, with single, central nucleus, found in walls of blood cells and in digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs, has a lot of nuclei   moves food, urine, and reproductive tract secretions, controls the diameter of respiratory pathways and blood vessels  
🗑
Exocrine glands   glandular epithilia that secrete products onto the epithelia surface or ducts, located on the surface   examples include sebaceous, sweat, mammary, and salivary glands  
🗑
Endocrine glands   glandular epithelia that secrete products (hormones) directly into the blood    
🗑
     
🗑


   

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.
