Question
Answer
show groups of cells with similar structure and function  
🗑
List 4 Primary Types   show
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
Simple Squamous   show
🗑
Simple Cuboidal   show
🗑
show -single layer of tall cells -include mucus that produce goblet cells -location: lines digestive tract -functions: secretion, absorption  
🗑
show -single layer, but some cells are shorter than others, tallest appeal to surface -looks like a double layer of cells but all cells rest on the basement membrane. -location: respiratory tract -functions: absorption, secretion,  
🗑
show -cells at the apical surface are flattened. -functions as a protective covering where friction is common -locations: lining of the skin, mouth, esophagus.  
🗑
show -two layers of cuboidal cells -function: protection  
🗑
show -surface cells are columnar, basal cells are cuboidal -function: protection  
🗑
show -rare in human body -found in ducts of large glands  
🗑
show -composed of modified stratified squamous -shape of cells depends upon the amount of stretching -functions: stretching and the ability to return to normal shape -location: lines organs of the urinary system  
🗑
Glandular Epithelium   show
🗑
show 1)endocrine gland 2)exocrine gland  
🗑
show -ductless since secretions diffuse into blood vessels -all secretions are hormones  
🗑
Exocrine Gland   show
🗑
show 1)mecrocine: i.e. sweat and salivary gland 2) holocrine: keep producing until cell bursts 3)apocrine  
🗑
show -found everywhere in the body -includes most abundant tissues -functions: binds body tissues together and supports the body, provides protection, insulation, transportation.  
🗑
show -all connective tissue drives from the mesenchymes -variations in blood supply. (some tissue types are well vascularized, some have a poor blood supple or are avascular) -extracellular matrix: non-living material that surrounds living cells.  
🗑
Extracellular Matrix   show
🗑
show mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules.  
🗑
Fibers   show
🗑
show -embryonic connective tissue -gel like ground substance with fibers and star shaped mesenchymal cells -give rise to all other connective tissue -found in the embryo  
🗑
List 3 Types of Loose Connective Tissue   show
🗑
show -most widely distributed connective tissue -soft, pliable tissue like "cobwebs" -functions as a packing tissue -contains all fiber types -can soak up excess fluid  
🗑
show -matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate -many cells contain large lipid deposits -functions: insulates the body, protects some organs, serves as a site of fuel storage  
🗑
Loose Connective Proper: Reticular Tissue   show
🗑
show -main matrix element is collagen fiber -fibroblasts are cells that make fibers -location: tendons, ligaments, dermis.  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   show
🗑
show -highly compressible -locations: forms cushion (discs between vertebrae)  
🗑
Bone (Osseous Tissue)   show
🗑
show -blood cells surrounded by fluid matrix called blood plasma -fibers are visible during clotting -functions as the transport vehicle for materials.  
🗑
show 1)cutaneous 2)mucous 3)serous *all made up of epithelial and connective*  
🗑
Cutaneous Membrane   show
🗑
Mucous Membranes   show
🗑
show -found in closed ventral body cavities -mesothelium (simple squamous) -loose connective (areolar) -name for organ association  
🗑
show -highly cellular -well vascularized -myofilaments -may be under voluntary or involuntary control  
🗑
List 3 Types of Muscle Tissue   show
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   show
🗑
Cardiac Muscle   show
🗑
show -under involuntary control -found in walls of hollow organs such as stomach, uterus, and blood vessels -characteristics of smooth muscle cells: no visible striations, one nucleus per cell, spindle-shaped cells  
🗑
show -composed of neurons and nerve support cells -function is to send impulses to other areas of the body -support cells called neuroglia insulate, protect, and support neurons  
🗑
show lining of the body cavities  
🗑
Visceral   show
🗑
Regeneration   show
🗑
show repair by dense connective tissue (scar tissue)  
🗑
show 1)type of tissue damage 2)severity of the injury  
🗑
show 1)inflammation 2)granulation tissue forms 3)regeneration of surface epithelium  
🗑
show -capillaries become very permeable -clotting proteins migrate into the area from the blood stream -a clot walls off the injured area  
🗑
show -growth of new capillaries -rebuild collagen fibers  
🗑
show -scab detaches  
🗑
Tissues that regenerate easily   show
🗑
Tissues that regenerate poorly   show
🗑
show -cardiac muscle -nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord  
🗑
show -ectoderm -mesoderm -endoderm  
🗑
show creates skin and nervous tissue  
🗑
mesoderm   show
🗑
show creates mucosae  
🗑
show formation of cancer  
🗑
show 1)oncogenesis 2)tumorigenesis (formation of tumor)  
🗑
show -growth factor independence (uncontrolled cell division) -angiogenesis (blood vessel growth) -immortality (replicate indefinitely) -evasion of spoptosis -invasive ability  
🗑
show -tumor -compact -slow growing -contained  
🗑
show -cancer  
🗑
Metastasis   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
