TermDefinition
Extracellular Matrix Molecules that fill the spaces between cells, consisting mostly of protein fiber networks.
Muscle Tissue Contractile tissue consisting of filaments of actin and myosin , which slide past each other shortening cells.
Connective Tissue Basic type of tissue that consists of cells within an extracellular matrix. Includes bone, cartilage, and blood.
Cardiac Muscle Tissue Specialized muscle tissue found only in the heart.
Tendons Cordlike or sand like mass of white fibrous connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone.
Elastic Fibers stretchy, yellow connective tissue fibers consisting of the protein elastin.
Bone A hard, mineralized connective tissue that forms the bones of the skeleton.
Areolar Tissue Connective tissue composed mostly mainly of fibers.
Ligaments Cord or sheet of connective tissue binding two or more bones to a joint.
Osteocytes Mature bone cell.
Blood A connective tissue consisting of cells in a liquid matrix called plasma that circulate through the heart and vessels carrying substances throughout the body.
Neuron Nerve cell.
Dense Connective Tissue A connective tissue with many collagenous fibers, a fine network of elastin fibers, and sparse fibroblasts.
Skeletal Muscle Tissue Type of voluntary muscle tissue attached to bone.
Elastic Cartilage Opaque, flexible connective tissue with many elastic fibers.
Macrophages Large phagocytic cells.
Mucous Membrane Membrane that lines cavities and tubes that open to the outside of the body.
Nervous Tissue Neurons and neuroglia.
Mast Cells Cell to which, antibodies formed in response to allergens attach, bursting the cell and releasing allergy mediators, which cause symptoms.
Serous Membrane Membrane that lines a cavity that does not open to the outside of the body.
Hyaline Cartilage Semitransparent flexible connective tissue with an ultra-fine fiber matrix.
Synovial Membrane Membrane that forms the inner lining of the capsule of a freely moving joint.
Cartilage Type of connective tissue in which cells are in the lacunae separated by semisolid extracellular matrix.
Chondrocytes A cartilage cell.
Neuroglia Specialized cells of the nervous system that produce myelin, communicate between cells and produce an ionic environment.
Smooth Muscle Tissue Type of involuntary muscle tissue found in digestive tract.
Fibroblasts Cells that produce fibers in connective tissues.
Osteon Cylinder- shaped unit containing bone cells that surround a central canal. Haversian system.
Cutaneous Membrane Membrane pertaining to the skin.
Loose Connective Tissue Includes areolar, adipose, and reticular connective tissue.
Collagen Fibers White fiber consisting of the protein collagen, common in connective tissues, including bone matrix.
Reticular Fibers Thin collagenous fiber.
Fibrocartilage Strongest and most durable cartilage. Made up of cartilage cells and many collagen fibers.
Adipose Tissue. Fat storing tissue.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
