Terms & Defs
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cover / Lines | This type of Epithelial Tissue - - - - - - the body and organ surfaces, and - - - - - the internal spaces. |
| Functions of Epithelial Tissue | Protection, Filtration, Secretion, Excretion, & Sensory |
| Glandular Epitheliam | Produces products and releases from cell. |
| Squamous, Columnar, Cuboidal, Transitional | Four primary cell shapes in an epitheliam. |
| Squamous | Thin, flattened cells |
| Cuboidal | Cube-shaped cells |
| Columnar | Column-shaped cells |
| Transitional | Change from round to flattened |
| Simple Epitheliam | 1 layer thick |
| Stratified Epitheliam | 2 or more layers of cells |
| Gland | 1 cell or group of cells that make and release product. |
| Exocrine Gland | These glands use ducts for product transport ; earwax, sweat, tears |
| Endocrine Gland | These glands are "ductless" and deliver their product directly into the blood; Hormone production. |
| Matrix | Intercellular substance produced by cells ; could be liquid, gel-like, or solid |
| True | The Matrix determines the type of connective tissue present and it's physical properties. |
| False | The Matrix does not determine the type of connective tissue present and it's physical properties. |
| Fibroblasts | Most common cell found in the Connective Tissue Proper. |
| Collagen | (White) Relatively thick, very strong, non-elastic, and flexible fibers found in the matrix of connective tissues. |
| Elastic | (Yellow) These fibers provide the ability for the tissues that contain them, to stretch and recoil back to normal. |
| Collagen | Body's natural steel. |
| Reticular Protein Fibers | Skeleton inside soft body organs. |
| Areolar Tissue | Loose connective tissue that attaches skin to the body ; site for immune reaction. |
| Adipose Tissue | Large accumulations of fat cells (adipocytes); found beneath skin and around internal organs. |
| Adipocyte | The Adipose tissue cell used to store triglycerides. |
| Tendons | Attach bones to muscles. |
| Ligaments | Attach bone to bone. |
| Fibrous Connective Tissue | This tissue has great strength but also has flexibility. |
| Cartilage | This Specialized Connective Tissue has no blood or nervous supply. |
| Red Blood Cells | Carry H2O through out the body. |
| White Blood Cells | Immune response |
| Platelets | Responsible for blood clotting. |
| Skeletal Muscle | Voluntary |
| Cardiac & Smooth | Involuntary |
| Neurons | Responds to change (temp, noise, smell); forms and transmits neural impulses ; electrical signals. |
| Neuroglia | Supportive function ; Nourish, support, and protect Neurons. |
| Epithelial Membranes | Composed of epithelial tissue with loose connective tissue underneath. |
| Cutaneous Membrane | This membrane is the skin. |
| Serous Membrane | Mostly water ; found in areas never exposed to air. |
| Serous Membrane | Lubricates surfaces of organs so they don't stick to each other when they move. |
| Serous Membrane | Membrane found in the Thoracic Cavity & the Abdominopelvic Cavity. |
| Mucous Membrane | Mucous ; In any opening of the body that is exposed to air. |
| Mucous Membrane | Helps trap any type of foreign particle ; helps protect body from abrasion. |
| Mucous Membrane | Found in mouth, nose, genitalia. |
