| Stratified =consisting of many layers of squamous cells -makes tissues very think | Stratified Squamous Epithelium |
| What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium? | protection of underlying tissues subjected to constant surface abrasion (scratching/abus) |
| What is the location of stratified squamous epithelium? | skin, linking of mouth, and throat |
| upper layers of our skin accumulate a protein called | keratin |
| What does keratin do? | makes them harden and die -this allows for better protection and retention of water in the body |
| Specialized stratified layers of cuboidal and columnar cells designed to undergo changes as a result of increasing tension | Transitional Epithelium |
| What is the function of transitional epithelium? | contact and relax with volume and tension changes in tissue |
| What is the location of transitional epithelium? | Urinary bladder and passageways of urinary system |
| Bind structure together, fill space, serve as a framework, provides support, stores fat, produces blood cells, provides protection against infection, and helps repair tissue damage | connective tissue |
| Are connective tissues able to reproduce? | yes |
| Variation in blood supply | connective tissue |
| usually present in stable #'s in the matrix; 3 types | resident cells |
| Large and star shaped; produce fibers in the matrix by secreting proteins | fibroblasts |
| specialized to carry out phagocytosis | macrophages |
| large and located near blood cells | mast cells |
| what prevents blood clotting | heparin |
| what promotes reactions associated with allergies and inflammation | histamine |
| What are connective tissue fibers all produced by | fibroblasts |
| What are the the 3 types of connective tissue fibers | 1. collagenous fibers 2. elastic fibers 3. reticular fibers |
| thick and thread like | collagenous fibers |
| composed of flexible collagen | collagenous fibers |
| have a great tensile strength | collagenous fibers |
| make up tendons and appear white in large amounts | collagenous fibers |
| composed of a protein called elastin | elastic fibers |
| found in vocal cords and appear yellow in large amounts | elastic fibers |
| thin, dark fibers composed of collagen | reticular fibers |
| highly branched and form supporting networks in spleen, bone and cartilage | reticular fibers |
| gel-like matrix separates all 3 fiber types. many blood cells within tissue | loose connective tissue (areolar tissue) |
| has all 3 types of resident cells; many fibroblasts | loose connective tissue (areolar tissue) |
| forms soft, thin, delicate membranes throughout body | loose connective tissue |
| What is loose connective tissue function? | binds skin to underlying organs, wraps and cushions organs and fills spaces between muscles |
| What is the location of loose connective tissue? | wraps around organs and lies beneath most epithelial layers -tends to swell with tissue fluid when injured |
| commonly called fat -whitish-yellow looks like a honeycomb under microscope | adipose tissue |
| specialized loose connective tissue that holds lipids in expanding "fat droplets" | adipose tissue |
| What is the function of adipose tissue? | protective cushion for organs an joins, insulates body heat, long-term energy storage in fat molecules |
| what is the location of adipose tissue? | beneath skin (subcutaneous), spaces between muscles, within breasts, around kidneys, behind eyeballs, in certain abdominal membranes ("visceral fat"), on the surface of the heart and around some joints |
| dense, fibrous tissue that contains many, closely packed, thick, parallel, collagenous fibers and a fine network of elastic fibers | dense fibrous connective tissue |
| Function: very strong and can withstand pulling forces and serves to bind body parts together | dense fibrous connective tissue |
| What do tendons connect | muscles to bones or muscles to other muscles |
| What do ligaments connect | bones to other bones |
| can also be found in the protective white layer of the eyeball and in deeper portions of the skin | dense fibrous connective tissue |
| rigid, yet flexible and lots of firm matrix | cartilage |
| Single cartilage cell = | chondrocyte |
| No blood vessels in cartilage, so nutrients diffuse from a fibrous connective tissue lining cover | cartilage |

| the osteonic canal and the lamellae surrounding it. Many osteons are visible under microscope | osteon |
| composed of cells that are suspended in a fluid matrix, called plasma | blood (vascular) tissue |

| Function: Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes and heat | blood (vascular) tissue |
| Location: contained within blood vessels | blood (vascular) tissue |
| one muscle cell = | muscle fiber |
| do muscles pull or pull | pull |
| What are the tree types of muscle tissue? | 1. skeletal Muscle 2.Smooth Muscle 3.Cardia Muscle |
| Fibers are long and cylindrical, with alternating light and dark bands called | striations |
| each fiber has many nuclei found close to cell membrane surface | skeletal muscle |
| Functions: voluntarily controlled by your will | skeletal muscle |
| Locations: Found in all muscles that attach to skeleton | skeletal muscle |
| Fibers lack striations | smooth muscle |
| fibers are shorter than skeletal and spindle shaped | smooth muscle |
| Has a single, central nucleus | smooth muscle |
| Functions: not voluntarily controlled | smooth muscle |
| Locations: found in walls of hollow internal organs (stomach, intestines, uterus...) and in the walls of blood cells (vasoconstriction) | smooth muscle |
| Location: only found in the walls of the heart | cardiac muscle |
