Question
Answer
Tissue   a group of cells that are organized and work together to perform a function  
🗑
Histology   study of tissues  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   cells; always found on the exposed surface inner & outer exposed surfaces  
🗑
Connective Tissue   cells & stuff around the cells; made up of cells that are separated by matrix  
🗑
Matrix   liquid- solid & almost anything in between  
🗑
Muscle Tissue   cells; all muscle cells contain 2 proteins, actin & myacin which give them the ability to contract  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   cells; 2 main areas- central nervous system (brain & spine) and peripheral nervous system (nerves-mostly)  
🗑
Stratified   more than one layer  
🗑
Basement Membrane   found at the bottom of the epithelial layer  
🗑
Simple   only 1 layer of cells  
🗑
Pseudostratified   false layers; 1 layer with nuclei at different levels  
🗑
Squamous   fairly thin and broad (fish scale shape)  
🗑
Cuboidal   same height and width  
🗑
Columnar   column shaped, taller than they are wide  
🗑
Transitional   change shape when pulled  
🗑
Glandular   makes something & secretes it  
🗑
Simple Squamous Epithelium   location: capillaries, alveoli function: being very thin allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through very rapidly  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium   location: sweat glands, pancreas, mammary function: make & secrete (sweat, insulin, milk)  
🗑
Simple Columnar Epithelium   location: inner lining of digestive tract including inside of stomach & intestines function: protection, absorption  
🗑
Mucous   protects stomach & intestines  
🗑
Microvilli   thicker than cilia; absorb nutrients  
🗑
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium   structure: cilia, goblet cells, nuclei at different levels location: upper respiratory, nasal cavity, trachea function: helps moisten air we inhale, traps dust & bacteria, cilia moves mucous toward throat, protects the lungs  
🗑
Stratified Squamous Epithelium   structure: dead cells, dying cells, living cells (cuboidal) location: skin, mouth, throat, esophagus, rectum, vagina function: protection from from friction  
🗑
Transitional Epithelium   structure: stratified, changes shape location: urinary bladder, ureters, urethra function: allow epithelium to stretch  
🗑
Glandular Epithelium   structure: usually lined with simple squamous epithelium location: glands function: produce & secrete  
🗑
Matrix   unique to connective tissue, material found between cells  
🗑
Collagen   protein, long fiber, provides strength, the most common protein in our body  
🗑
Elastin   protein, shorter than collagen, provides the ability to stretch and return to it's original shape "elastic"  
🗑
Adipose Tissue   never go through mitosis; cells called adipocytes; matrix is gel-like in consistency; located under the skin and covering many of our organs; function-storing fat (lipids) as oil, insulation, cushion some organs (heart, kidneys), protection  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue/Dense Connective Tissue/Regular Connective Tissue   cells called fibroblasts which make the matrix; matrix is mostly collagen with a little elastin (definite direction); located in tendons, ligaments, scars & dermis  
🗑
Cartilage   cells (chondrocytes) found in fluid filled spaces; matrix is collagen and elastin (going in all directions); located in ears, nose, ribs to sternum, between each vertebrae in our back & the ends of long bones; function as flexible framework & protection  
🗑
Lacuna   fluid filled spaces where we find chodrocytes  
🗑
Bone   structure: central canal, canaliculi, lacunae; cells: osteocytes; matrix: minerals small amounts of collagen & elastin; location: bones; function: storage, protection, rigid framework & movemnet  
🗑
Blood   cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets; matrix: plasma; location: blood; function: red blood cells deliver oxygen, white blood cells protect, platelets stop bleeding, transportation  
🗑
Red Blood Cells   most common and most numerous blood cell, no nucleus; erythrocyte; deliver oxygen  
🗑
White Blood Cells   largest blood cell, 5 types, 2-3 times larger than red blood cells, has a nucleus; leukocyte; protection  
🗑
Platelets   blood cells found generally in clusters; thrombocytes (small fragments); stopping bleeding, transportation  
🗑
Striated   striped  
🗑
Smooth   not striped  
🗑
Voluntary   voluntary  
🗑
Involuntary   automatically controlled; controlled by nervous system, but not consciously  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Tissue   structure: contain actin & myacin, attached to bone, striated, cells are long, tube-like shape), multiple nuclei, same direction; location: skeletal muscles; function: ability to contract, used to move the skeleton, posture, produce most of our body heat  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle Tissue   structure: striated, intercalated disks where muscle cells meet (communication not connection, branched, forked one nucleus; location: heart; function: create pressure so that it can pump blood  
🗑
Smooth Muscle Tissue   structure: tapered cells, smallest of muscle cells, smooth, involuntary, has 1 nucleus; location: esophagus, stomach, intestines, digestive tract, walls of blood vessels, sphincters; function: push food through & help mix with secretions, gate keepers  
🗑
Central   brain & spine  
🗑
Peripheral   nerves, connections between organs and brain & spine  
🗑
Neuron   cell that can carry nerve impulses (signals), large cell body usually with projections that either gather information or carry a signal  
🗑
Neuroglial cell   brain, spine & nerves, cells in central nervous system that do not carry impulses  
🗑
Brain Functions   storing, processing & analyzing information both consciously & unconsciously, makes decisions  
🗑
Spine Functions   reflexes  
🗑
Nerve Functions   allow communication between central nervous system and body organs  
🗑


   

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.
