Question
Answer
Tissues   Groups of specialized cells that are similar in structure and that perform common functions.  
🗑
Four Common Types of Tissue   Epithelial tissue, Connective tissue, Muscle tissue, Nervous tissue  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   Sheets of cells that line or cover various surfaces and body cavities; Protect underlying cavities (Ex. Skin; Lining of the mouth; Bladder; Lungs; Blood vessels)  
🗑
Characteristics   Smooth – to reduce friction Glandular – form the glands  
🗑
Glands   Specialized to synthesize and secrete a product  
🗑
Exocrine (exo=outward) Glands   secrete their product into a hollow organ or duct(Ex glands in mouth (saliva); sweat glands)  
🗑
Endocrine (endo= within) Glands   secrete hormone (ex. thyroid gland (growth and metabolism))  
🗑
Squamous (squama=plate-like)cell shape   one or more layers of flattened cells  
🗑
Cuboidal   cube shaped cells  
🗑
Columnar   comprised of tall rectangular cells  
🗑
simple epithelium   (single layer)  
🗑
stratified epithelium   (consists of layers)  
🗑
Strata   Layers  
🗑
Basement Membranes   Supporting non-cellular layer directly beneath the cells the epithelium tissue; Functions as the mortar that anchors the cells to the stronger tissues below it (usually connective tissue)  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Support the softer organs of the body against the forces of gravity; Connects various parts of the body  
🗑
Characteristics of Connective Tissue   Few living cells (unlike epithelial cells); Structure consists of nonliving material called matrix; The matrix is synthesized by connective tissue and released into the space between them; Provided strength  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue   Provides strength, support and flexibility; Consists of several layers of fiber and cells (Ex. Collagen fibers; Elastic fibers; Reticular fibers)  
🗑
Specialized connective tissue includes   Cartilage- transition tissue from which bone develops; Bone- deposits of calcium and phosphate; Blood – cells suspended in fluid matrix called plasma (carries oxygen and nutrients); Adipose – specialized for fat storage  
🗑
Muscle Tissue   Consists of cells that are specialized to shorten and contract resulting in movement of some kind; Tightly packed muscle fibers  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Tissue   connects to tendons which attach to bones  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle Tissue   found only in the heart (involuntary – contracts on own)  
🗑
Smooth Muscle Tissue   surrounds hollow organs and tubes including blood vessels, digestive tract, uterus and bladder  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   Consists primarily of cells that are specialized for generating and transmitting electrical impulses (Ex. Brain; Spinal cord; Nerves from various organs in the body)  
🗑
Organs   Structures composed of two or more organ tissue types joined together that perform a specific function (s) (Ex. Heart; Lungs; Liver; Kidney)  
🗑
Organ Systems   Groups of organs that together serve a broad function that is important to the survival of the whole organism (Ex. digestive system (mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder))  
🗑
Body Cavities   Location of many organ/organ systems  
🗑
Interior cavity   Thoracic - Plural pericardial Abdominal - pelvic Posterior - Cranial Spinal  
🗑
Serous Tissues   lines and lubricates body cavities  
🗑
Mucous Tissues   – lines airways, digestive tract, and reproductive passages  
🗑
Synovial Tissues   lines cavities between bones and movable joints  
🗑
Cutaneous Tissues   (skin) protection, sensation, support, body temperature  
🗑
Negative feedback control systems   Controlled variable (blood pressure, body temperature, glucose concentration); Sensor (monitors the control variable); Control center (receives input from sensor); Effector (takes necessary action)  
🗑
Organs   The result of two or more types of tissues organizing in such a way as tot accomplish a task that the tissues can not do on their own.  
🗑
Systems   A system is formed by organs that work together to accomplish something more complex than what a single organ can do on it’s own.  
🗑
Integumentary System   Includes skin, hair, nails, sweat glands and sebaceous glands  
🗑
Musculoskeletal System   Muscles; Bones; Joints  
🗑
Endocrine System   Thyroid gland; Pituitary gland; Testes; Ovaries; Adrenal glands; Pancreas; Parathyroid glands; Pineal gland; Thymus gland  
🗑
Cardiovascular System   Heart; Blood; Arterties; Veins  
🗑
Lymphatic and Immune System   Spleen; Lymph; Thymus gland  
🗑
Respiratory system   Nose; Pharynx; Larynx; Trachea; Lungs; Bronchial tubes  
🗑
Gastrointestinal System   Mouth; Pharynx; Esophagus; Stomach; Small intestine; Colon; Liver; Gallbladder; Pancreas  
🗑
Urinary System   Kidneys; Ureters; Bladder; Urethra  
🗑
Reproductive System   Ovaries; Uterus; Fallopian Tubes; Vagina; Mammary glands; Testes; Prostate; Urethra  
🗑
Nervous System   Brain; Spinal Cord; Nerves  
🗑
Senses   Eyes; Ears  
🗑
The Skeleton System   The organ system for support, protection , and movement; Consists of three types of connective tissue (Bones (hard element of the skeleton); Ligaments (dense fibrous tissue that binds the bones to each other); Cartilage (fibers of collagen and elastin))  
🗑
Bone Development   Begins in embryo (Chondroblasts (cartilage cells); Ossification (cartilage replaced by bone); Osteoblasts (bone forming cells); Osteoclasts (bone destroying cells))  
🗑
Five Important Functions of the Bones   Support; Movement; Protection; Formation of blood cells; Mineral storage (calcium and phosphorus)  
🗑
Properties of Bone   Can be remodeled and repaired; Can change size, shape and strength; Regulated by hormone  
🗑
Skeleton   206 known bones classified into four types (Long (limbs and fingers); Short (wrist wide as it is long); Flat (cranial, sternum, ribs – thin flattened and curved); Irregular (hips and vertebrae))  
🗑
Periosteum   covers the bone tough and fibrous (Contains blood vessels, transports blood and nutrients into the bone)  
🗑
Epiphysis   each end of the bone  
🗑
Diaphysis   region running through one end to the other  
🗑
Medullary   hollow region inside (storage area for bone marrow.  
🗑
Red bone marrow   (makes red blood cells)  
🗑
Yellow bone marrow   (high fat contact – can assist with red blood cell production in emergency situations)  
🗑
Cartilage   Dense connective tissue; Can withstand flexing, tension and pressure  
🗑
Articulation   two or more bones joined together form a joint or articulation  
🗑
Ligaments   connective tissue allowing joints to move freely  
🗑
Tendons   hold bone to bone  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   Skull; Vertebral column; Ribs; Sternum  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Pectoral girdle; Pelvic girdle; limbs  
🗑


   

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.
