Of urethra, heart, and pharynx, the one NOT lined with mucous membrane is the heart
Of uterus, artery, and trachea, the one NOT lined with mucous membrane is the artery
The type of muscle tissue found in the uterus is smooth muscle
The transporting fluid of blood is called plasma
What shape is the squamous cell Flat
What shape is the coboidal cell Cube
What shape is the columnar cell Tall and narrow
When dose the urinary bladder cells flatten As the bladder fills
Dose the stratified squamous epithelium have many or one layer(s) Many
Dose the simple squamous epithelium have many or one layer(s) One
What cells dose the Areolar have Fibroblast
What cells dose the Adipose have Adipocytes
What cells dose the Fibrous have Fibroblast
What cells dose the bone have Osteocytes
What cells dose the Cartilage have Condr
What is the definition of matrix A structural network or solution of non-living intercellular material
What is the matrix in the blood is called Plasma
What is the matrix in the Areolar is called Collagen and elastin
What is the matrix in the adipose is called Adipocytes
What is the matrix in the fibrous is called Collagen
What is the matrix in the Elastic is called Clastic
What is the matrix in the bone is called Calcium slat
What is the matrix in the cartilage is called Proteins
Diffusion of gases in the lungs is possible because the alveoli are made of simple squamous epithelium
The tissue that removes dust and pathogens from the trachea is ciliated epithelium
The tissue that keeps the trachea an open airway is cartilage
To help prevent water loss the epidermis of the skin is made of stratified squamous epithelium
The group of tissues that forms glands or covers surfaces is the stratified squamous tissues
Organs that contain epithelial tissue capable of secretion are called glands
The tissue that protects the brain from mechanical injury is bone
The tissue that forms smooth surfaces in joints is cartilage
Ligaments are made of fibrous connective
Ligaments connect bone to bone and are made of fibrous connective tissue
The most important physical characteristic of collagen is that it is strong
The most important physical characteristic of elastin is that it is elastic; stretchy
The function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen
Red blood cells are able to carry oxygen because they contain the protein hemoglobin
The protein hemoglobin is found in red blood cells, and contains the mineral iron
The general function of white blood cells is to destroy pathogens; provide immunity
The function of platelets is blood clotting
The function of the red bone marrow may be summarized by saying that it is the primary hemopoietic; blood-forming tissue in the body
All of the kinds of blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow
An organ made of lymphatic tissue is the spleen
An organ made primarily of nerve tissue is the brain
The part of a neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body is the dendrite
The part of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body is the axon
The space between two nerve cells is a synapse
the nerve impulse is carried by a neurotransmitter
The function of a neurotransmitter is to carry a nerve impulse
Electrical insulation for nerve cells is provided by the myelin sheath
what dose myelin sheath provide for nerve cells electrical insulation
The heart is made of cardiac muscle
what dose the hearts cardiac muscles do pumps blood
The membrane modifications of cardiac muscle cells that ensure rapid impulse transmission are called intercalated discs
what is the tissue called of the small intestine creates waves of contraction called peristalsis smooth muscle
The serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity is the microvilli
The serous membrane that covers the abdominal organs is the mesentery
The serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity is the parietal pleura
The serous membrane that covers the lungs is the visceral pleura
The serous membrane that lines the fibrous pericardium is the parietal pericardium
The serous membrane that covers the heart is the visceral pericardium
The general function of serous fluid in all its locations is to prevent friction
Preventing friction between serous membranes is the function of serous fluid
The fluid that traps bacteria and dust in the respiratory tract is mucus
The fluid that is a lubricant in the digestive tract is mucus
The transporting fluid of blood is called plasma
The specific tissue that moves the body is skeletal muscle
The specific tissue that produces a large amount of body heat is skeletal muscle
The type of muscle tissue that is also called voluntary is skeletal muscle
The type of muscle tissue that MUST receive nerve impulses to contract is skeletal; voluntary; striated
The type of muscle tissue found in arteries and veins is smooth muscle
The type of muscle tissue that constricts the pupil of the eye is smooth muscle
Two body tracts (systems) that are lined with mucous membrane are the digestive and respiratory
Of uterus, artery, and trachea, the one NOT lined with mucous membrane is the artery
Of urethra, heart, and pharynx, the one NOT lined with mucous membrane is the heart
Endocrine glands secrete their products into capillaries; the blood
Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts
Glands that have ducts are called exocrine
The unicellular glands that secrete mucus in the respiratory tract are called goblet cells
The tissue that stores potential energy in the form of true fats is adipose tissue
The tissue that forms a cushion around the kidneys is adipose tissue
The tissue between the skin and muscles that produces a hormone that influences appetite is adipose tissue
what is the connective tissue called between the skin and muscles contains white blood cells to destroy pathogens areolar; loose
The connective tissue membrane that covers a muscle is a synovial membrane
The connective tissue membrane that covers a bone is a periosteum
The connective tissue membranes that cover the brain are the meninges
The connective tissue membrane that covers a muscle is a fascia
The major parts of a nerve cell are its cell body, axon,dendrites
Collagen and elastin are protein molecules
Collagen and elastin are protein molecules made by cells called fibroblasts
The space between two nerve cells is a synapse
All muscle contraction moves something; cardiac muscle contraction moves blood
