Tissues and Membranes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cells grouped together | tissues |
| protects the body by covering internal and external services | epithelial tissue |
| connects organs and tissues ( most abundant) | connective tissue |
| contains cell material which has the ability to contract and move the body | muscle tissue |
| contains cells that react to stimuli and conduct an inmpulse | NERVOUS TISSUE |
| formed by putting two thin layers of tissue together | membrane |
| line surfaces and spaces that lead to the outside of the body respiratory,digestive ,reproductive, and urinary systems | mucous membranes |
| lines the respiratory passages | respiratory mucosa |
| lines the stomach | gastric mucosa |
| lines the small and large intestines | intestinal mucosa |
| cells form a continious layer covering internal and external body surfaces provide protection,produce secretions( digestive juices,hormones,perspiration, and regulate the passage of materials across themselves | epithelial tissue |
| flat,irregularly shaped cells. line the heart blood and lymphatic vessels,body cavitites and alveoli(air sacs) of lungs | squamous epithelial cells |
| cube shaped cells line the kidney tubules and cover the ovaries and secretory parts of certain glands | cuboidal epithelial cells |
| cells are elongated with the nucleus generally near the bottome and often ciliated on the outer surface | columnar epithelial cells |
| cells are specialized to secrete materials such digestive juices hormones milk perspiration and wax they are columnar or cuboidal shaped | glandular or secretory tissue |
| these cells form ductless glands which secrete their substances ( hormones) directly into the bloodstream | endocrine gland cells |
| cells secrete their substances into ducts mammary glands, sweat glands and salivary glands are examples | exocrine glands cells |
| cells whose intercellular secretions (matrix) support and connect the organs and tissues of the body | connective tissue |
| tissue that stores lipids(fats) acts as filler tissue,cushions,supports,and insulates the body (found throughout the body in the subcutaneous skin layer | adipose tissue |
| tissue surronds various organs and supports both the nerve cells and blood vessels which transport nutrient materils to cells and waste away from cells | aerolar(loose) tissue |
| forms ligaments,tendons,and aponueroses | dense fibrous tissue |
| are strong flexible bands (or cords) which hold bones firmly together at the joints | ligaments |
| are white glistening bands attaching skeletal muscles to the bones | tendons |
| are flat wide bands of tissues holding one muscle to another or to the periosteum(bone covering) | aponueroses |
| are fibrous connective tissue sheets that wrap around muscle bundles to hold them in place | fasciae |
| comprises the skeleton of the body which supports and protects underlying soft tissue parts and organs and also serves as attachments for skeletal muscles | osseous(bone tissue) |
| provides firm but flexible support for the embryonic skeleton and part of the adult skeleton | cartilage |
| forms the skeleton of the embryo | hyaline |
| strong flexible supportive substance found between bones and wherever great strength (and a degree of rigidity) is needed | fibrocartilage |
| intercellular matrix is embedded with a network of elastic fibers and is firm but flexible | elastic cartilage |
| transports nutrient and oxygen molecules to cells and metabolic wastes away from cells (can be considered as a liquid tissue) | blood |
| transports tissue fluid proteins,fats,and other materials from the tissues to the circulatory system | lymph |
| the cells have the ability to contract to enable the heart to pump blood throughout and out of the heart | cardiac muscle |
| muscles are attached to the movable parts of the skeleton caple of rapid powerful contractions and long states of partially sustained contractions allowing for voluntary movement | skeletal(striated voluntary) muscle |
| provide for involuntary movement | smooth(nonstriated voluntary) |
| branches through which various parts of the body are connected and their activities coordinated found in the brain,spinal cord,and nerves | neurons(nerve cells) |
| ability of nerve tissue to respond to enviromental changes | irritability |
| ability to carry a nerve impulse (message) | conductivity |
| double walled membrane that produces a watery fluid and lines closed body cavities | serous membranes |
| outer part of the membrane that lines the cavity is known as | parietal membrane |
| overs the organ within is known | visceral membrane |
| is given to the specific serous membranes all beginning with the letter p | serosa |
| lines the thoracic or chest cavity and protects the lungs the fluid is called plueral fluid | pleural membrane |
| lines the heart cavity and protects the heart. fluid called pericardial fluid | pericardial membrane |
| lines the abdominal cavity and protects the abdominal organs fluid is called peritoneal fluid | peritoneal membrane |
| specialized type of epithelial membrane | cutaneous membrane(skin) |
| lines joint cavities | synovial membrane |
| structure of several types of tissues grouped together to perform a single function | organ |
| group of organs that acts together to perfom a specific related function is called | organ system |
| pain swelling,redness and loss of motion | inflammation |
| resulting from an external force will cause tissue damage and injury | trauma |
| cells can also alter tissue and cause damage and trauma | abnormal growth |
| from a change in structure or function of tissue at the chromosal level or a result of enviromental factors | birth defects |
| takes place in a clean wound | primary repair |
| cut or incision on the skin where infection is not present | clean wound |
| when capillary fluid dries and seals the wound | scab |
| if a great or deep area of skin is destroyed skin may be needed to help in wound healing | skin grafts |
| when damage occurs to d eep tissues the edge of the wound must be brought together with | suture |
| gives shape to body protects delicate parts of the body provides space for attaching muscles is instrumental in forming blood stores minerals | skeletal |
| determines posture produces body heat provides for movement | muscular |
| prepares food for absorption and use by body cells through modification of chemical and physical states | digestive |
| acquires oxygen rids body of carbon dioxide | respiratory |
| carries oxygen and nourishment to cells of the body carries waste from cells provides body defense | circulatory |
| removes waste products of metabolism from body | excretory |
| communicates controls body activity coordinates body activity | nervous |
| manufactures hormones to regulate organ activity | endocrine |
| reproduces human beings | reproductive |
| helps regulate body temp establishes a barrier between the body and enviroment eliminates waste synthesis vitamin d contains receptors for temp pressure and pain | integumentary |
| will form new vertically upstanding blood vessels | granulation |
| properties which help reduce the risk of infection during wound healing | bactericidal(bacterial-destructing) |
| tissue formed depends on the extent of tissue damage from a | scar(cicatrix) |
| aids in repair of epithelial tissue especially the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract | vitamin A |
| helps to promote the general well being of the individual | vitamin B |
| helps in the normal production of and mainteanance of collagen fibers and other connective tissue substances | vitamin c |
| needed for the normal absorption of calcium from the intestine | vitamin d |
| helps in the process of blood coagulation | vitamin K |
| helps healing of the tissues by acting as an antioxidant protector | vitamin E |
