strat/o layer
Structures that connect cell membranes. intercellular juctions
Membranes of adjacent cells converge and fuse in what type of intercellular junction? tight juction
A type of intercellular junction that rivets or spot welds cells enabling them to form a reinforced structural unit. desmosome
A type of intercellular junction that connects cells by tubular channels. gap junctions
Four major tissue types:
Groups or layers of cells with similar origin and common function. Tissues
Three types of muscle tissue. Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth
Connective tissue proper Loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue.
Specialized connective tissue. Cartilate, Bone, Blood
Tissue type that lacks blood vessels; readily divides; and cells are tightly packed. Epithelial tissue
Most abundant tissue type; cells are far apart. Connective tissue
Tissue type that is able to contract in response to specific stimuli. Muscle tissue
Tissue type with cells that communication with each other and other body parts. Nervous tissue
What are the functions of cartilage? Protects underlying tissue and provides support and framework for the body.
What best describes simple cuboidal epithelium? A single layer of cube-shaped cells.
What is the basic function of epithelial tissue? Protective covering, secretion, absorption
What is the basic function of connective tissue? Support soft tissue; bind structures together
