QuestionAnswer
What is histology? tissues
How are tissues classified?
What are the four major tissue types?
What are the embryonic germ layers and what do they form?
Epithelial Tissue
What are the characteristics and functions of epithelial tissue?
How is epithelial tissue classified (layers & shape)?
Histology = microscopic study of tissues
Tissue classification based on cell structure, extracellular matrix, and function
Four tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Endoderm → digestive lining; mesoderm → muscle, bone, blood vessels; ectoderm → skin, nervous system
Protection, absorption, secretion, filtration
Free surface, basal surface, basement membrane, avascular, regenerative
Simple (1 layer), stratified (>1 layer), pseudostratified
Shapes: squamous, cuboidal, columnar
Microvilli → absorption, cilia → movement, folds → stretch
Desmosomes → adhesion, tight junctions → barrier, gap junctions → communication
Endocrine → hormones, exocrine → ducts
Support, protection, transport
Blast → build matrix, cyte → maintain, clast → break down
ECM: collagen, elastic, reticular fibers; proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid
Loose, dense, cartilage, bone, blood
Hyaline → support, fibrocartilage → strong, elastic → flexible
Collagen + hydroxyapatite; osteocytes; compact & spongy
Plasma + RBCs, WBCs, platelets
Skeletal → voluntary movement
Cardiac → heart pumping
Smooth → moves substances
Neurons → transmit signals
Neuroglia → support neurons
Mucous → secrete mucus, serous → reduce friction, synovial → lubrication
Redness, heat, swelling, pain
Labile → divide often, stable → divide if needed, permanent → limited
Primary repair → less scarring, secondary repair → more scarring
Slower healing, less collagen, reduced flexibility
Protection, sensation, temperature regulation, vitamin D
Epidermis, dermis, hypodermis
Keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans, Merkel
Keratinization → cells harden, desquamation → shedding
Basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum
Thick skin → palms/soles; thin skin → rest of body
Melanin, carotene, blood flow
Collagen, nerves, vessels
Papillary, reticular
Fat storage, insulation
Protection, temperature regulation
Sebaceous → oil, sweat → cooling
Protection
Protection, sensation, temperature control, vitamin D production
Thinner skin, wrinkles
First, second, third degree
Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood production
Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons
Chondroblasts, chondrocytes
Osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
Compact, spongy
Length → epiphyseal plate, width → appositional growth
Calcium, vitamin D, hormones
Osteoblasts + osteoclasts
Hematoma → callus → ossification → remodeling
Parathyroid ↑ Ca²⁺, calcitonin ↓ Ca²⁺
Loss of matrix, brittle bones
Open, closed, complete, incomplete
Processes, ridges, openings, depressions
Axial, appendicular
Protects brain
Supports body, protects spinal cord
Humerus, radius, ulna
Femur, tibia, fibula
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, adduction, circumduction
Bone shape, ligaments, muscles
Shoulder, hip, knee
Less flexibility, slower repair
Arthritis, gout
What are skull structures and functions?
What are vertebral column features?
Limbs & Girdles
What are major bones of upper and lower limbs?
Joints
What are classifications of joints?
What are types of synovial joints?
What movements can joints perform?
What factors affect range of motion?
What are major joints and their features?
How does aging affect joints?
What are common joint disorders?

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.
