QuestionAnswer
Supports, protects, and binds tissues together Connective
Found in the brain and spinal cord Nervous
Can be simple or stratified Epithelial
Specialized to contract and produce movement Muscle
Simple cuboidal epithelium One layer of squares
Stratified squamous epithelium Multiple layers of flattened squares
Simple squamous epithelium One layer of flattened squares
Skeletal Straight across, no gaps
Cardiac Muscle Gaps. downturned
Connective Tissue Support, avascular, stratified/simple
Muscle Tissue Movement
Epithelial Tissue Cover/line
Nervous Tissue Control
What is a tissue? Group of cells with similar structure and function
Which tissue type allows stretching? Transitional epithelium
What is an endocrine gland? Ductless, diffuse into blood vessels
What is an exocrine gland? Secretions empty through ducts
Where would squamous tissue show up in our body? The outer skin, mouth, and esophagus
What does stratified squamous form? Covers/lines body surfaces
Tendons and ligaments are which type of tissue? Dense connective tissue
What tissue is commonly referred to as fat? Adipose connective tissue
Bone is best described as which type of tissue (specifically)? Osseous tissue
What are Chondrocytes Cartilage cells
Which type of connective tissue is avascular? Vascular? Avascular - cartilage Vascular - bone
Which tissue type can be found in hollow organs? Smooth muscle tissue
What are two major functional characteristics of nervous tissue? Irritability and conductivity
Damaged tissues that are repaired by the same kind of cells experience a replacement process known as... Regeneration
Which type of tissue is most likely to repair itself? Epithelial
What is the first stage to occur during tissue repair? Inflamation
What are the 2 days tissue repair occurs? regeneration, fibrosis
Involuntary or voluntary Muscle
Common in glands and their ducts Epithelial
Functional characteristics are irritability and conductivity Nervous
Contain collagen, elastic, or reticular fibers Connective
Apical surface/basement membrane Epithelial
Classified as loose or dense Connective
Consists of living cells surrounded by extracellular matrix Connective
What does simple epithelium function in Absorption, secretion, and filtration Very thin
Where is simple squamous epithelium located Lungs, capillaries (blood vessels) Forms serous membrane that lines/covers ventral cavity organs
Where can you find simple cuboidal epithelium glands/ducts, kidney tubules, ovaries
What does simple columnar secrete? Where is it located? Mucus Lining of digestive tract (stomach to anus)
Where is psuedostratified columnar epithelium found Respiratory tract Ciliated
What does stratified epithelia primarily function in Protection
What does stratified squamous function in Protective covering where friction is common
Where are stratified cuboidal and columnar found Ducts of large glands
What is transitional epithelium composed of Stratified squamous epithelium
Where is transitional epithelium found Lining of urinary system organs
What are the characteristics of connective tissue Nonliving matrix, variation in blood supply
What are the types of connective tissue (rigid to softest) Bone, cartilage, dense connective, loose connective, blood
Has osteocytes and hard matrix of calcium salts Bone
Is flexible, composed of chondrocyte, and avascular Cartilage
Glassy, rubbery matrix Attaches ribs to breastbone, covers ends of long bones, trachea Hyaline cartilage
Provides elasticity, outer ear Elastic cartilage
Compressible, forms cushion like discs between vertebrae of spinal column Fibrocartilage
Tendons, ligaments, dermis Dense connective
Softer, few cells/fewer fibers Areolar, adipose, reticular Loose connective
Most widely distributed tissue, glue to organs, soak up excess fluid Areolar
insulates body, protects some organs, fuel storage Adipose
Internal framework of organs Lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow Reticular
Surrounded by fluid matrix (blood plasma) Transport vehicle for cardiovascular system Blood
Striations, multinucleate, long cylindrical shape Skeletal
Striations, one nucleus, short branching cells, intercalated discs contain gap junctions Cardiac
Found in stomach, uterus, blood vessels No striations, one nucleus, spindle-shaped Smooth
Receive/conduct electrochemical impulses Support neuroglia, insulate, protect, support neurons Nervous
Regeneration of fibrosis depends on type of tissue damaged, severity
Events of tissue repair inflammation, granulation, regeneration/fibrosis
Regenerate poorly Skeletal
Replaced largely with scar tissue Cardiac, nervous
When does nervous tissue become amitotic *lose ability to divide after birth
Hyperplasia increase in size, strongly irritated
Atrophy decrease in size, no longer stimulated normally

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.
