1. Tissue Group of similar cells that perform a common function.
2. Connective Tissue Type of tissue that binds structures together, provides support and protection, fills spaces, stores fat, and forms blood cells; adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood are types of
3. Collagen Fibers White fiber in the matrix of connective tissue; gives flexibility and strength
4. Elastic Fibers Yellow fiber in the matrix of connective tissue, providing flexibility.
5. Fibroblasts Cell in connective tissues that produces fibers and other substances.
6. Adipose Tissue Connective tissue in which fat is stored.
7. Tendons Strap of fibrous connective tissue that connects skeletal muscle to bone.
8. Ligaments Tough cord or band of dense fibrous connective tissue that joins bone to bone at a joint.
9. Cartilage Connective tissue in which the cell cells lie within lacunae separated by a flexible protein Aceous matrix.
10. Fibrocartilage Cartilage with a matrix of strong collagenous fibers.
11. Compact Bone Type of bone that contains osteons consisting of concentric layers of matrix and osteocytes in lacunae.
12. Spongy Bone Porous bone found at the end of long bones where red bone marrow is sometimes located.
13. Blood Type of connective tissue in which cells are separated by a liquid called plasma.
14. Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) - Formed element of the blood that contains hemoglobin and carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
15. White Blood Cells (leukocytes) - Type of blood cell that is transparent without staining and protects the body from invasion by foreign substances and organisms.
16. Platelets (thrombocytes) - Fragment of a cell found in the blood that is necessary for blood clotting.
17. Lymph Fluid derived from intestinal fluid, that is carried in lymphatic vessels.
18. Muscular Tissue Type of tissue composed of fibers that can shorten and thicken.
19. Skeletal Tissue (Skeletal Muscle) Striated voluntary muscle tissue found in muscles that move the bones
20. Smooth Muscle Nonstriated involuntary muscle tissue found in the walls of internal organs, also called visceral muscle
21. Cardiac Muscle Striated involuntary muscle found only in the heart.
22. Nerves Bundle of long axons outside the central nervous system.
23. Neuron Cell of the nervous system that transmits nerve impulses; consist of three parts: dendrites, cell body, and axon.
24. Epithelial Tissue Type of tissue that lines, hollow organs and covers surfaces; also called epithelium.
25. Squamous Epithelium Type of epithelial tissue that contains fat cells.
26. Cuboidal Epithelium Type of epithelial tissue with cube-shaped cells.
27. Columnar Epithelium Type of epithelial tissue in which the cells have a shape similar to a vertical column or pillar.
28. Gland Epithelial cell or group of epithelial cells specialized to secrete a substance.
29. Exocrine Glands Gland that secretes its product to an epithelial surface directly through ducks.
30. Mucous Membranes Membrane that lines tubes and body cavities that open to the outside of the body also called mucosa.
31. Serous Membranes Membrane that covers internal organs and lines cavities without an opening to the outside of the body also called serosa.
32. Synovial Membranes Membrane that forms the inner lining of the capsule of a freely movable joint.
33. Meninges (sing., meninx) - Protective Membranous coverings about the central nervous system.
34. Subcutaneous Layer Tissue layer that lies just beneath the skin and contains adipose tissue.
35. Epidermis Region of skin that lies above the dermis.
36. Dendritic Cells Specialized epidermal cell that assets the immune system; previously called langerhans cells.
37. Melanocytes Melanin-producing cell found in skin.
38. Dermis Region of skin that lies beneath the epidermis.
39. Positive Feedback Mechanism in which the stimulus mitiates reactions that lead to an increase in the stimulus.
40. Negative Feedback Mechanism of homeostatic response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that reduce the stimulus.
