Tissues and Membranes

        Help!  

Question
Answer
cells grouped together   tissues  
🗑
protects the body by covering internal and external services   epithelial tissue  
🗑
connects organs and tissues ( most abundant)   connective tissue  
🗑
contains cell material which has the ability to contract and move the body   muscle tissue  
🗑
contains cells that react to stimuli and conduct an inmpulse   NERVOUS TISSUE  
🗑
formed by putting two thin layers of tissue together   membrane  
🗑
line surfaces and spaces that lead to the outside of the body respiratory,digestive ,reproductive, and urinary systems   mucous membranes  
🗑
lines the respiratory passages   respiratory mucosa  
🗑
lines the stomach   gastric mucosa  
🗑
lines the small and large intestines   intestinal mucosa  
🗑
cells form a continious layer covering internal and external body surfaces provide protection,produce secretions( digestive juices,hormones,perspiration, and regulate the passage of materials across themselves   epithelial tissue  
🗑
flat,irregularly shaped cells. line the heart blood and lymphatic vessels,body cavitites and alveoli(air sacs) of lungs   squamous epithelial cells  
🗑
cube shaped cells line the kidney tubules and cover the ovaries and secretory parts of certain glands   cuboidal epithelial cells  
🗑
cells are elongated with the nucleus generally near the bottome and often ciliated on the outer surface   columnar epithelial cells  
🗑
cells are specialized to secrete materials such digestive juices hormones milk perspiration and wax they are columnar or cuboidal shaped   glandular or secretory tissue  
🗑
these cells form ductless glands which secrete their substances ( hormones) directly into the bloodstream   endocrine gland cells  
🗑
cells secrete their substances into ducts mammary glands, sweat glands and salivary glands are examples   exocrine glands cells  
🗑
cells whose intercellular secretions (matrix) support and connect the organs and tissues of the body   connective tissue  
🗑
tissue that stores lipids(fats) acts as filler tissue,cushions,supports,and insulates the body (found throughout the body in the subcutaneous skin layer   adipose tissue  
🗑
tissue surronds various organs and supports both the nerve cells and blood vessels which transport nutrient materils to cells and waste away from cells   aerolar(loose) tissue  
🗑
forms ligaments,tendons,and aponueroses   dense fibrous tissue  
🗑
are strong flexible bands (or cords) which hold bones firmly together at the joints   ligaments  
🗑
are white glistening bands attaching skeletal muscles to the bones   tendons  
🗑
are flat wide bands of tissues holding one muscle to another or to the periosteum(bone covering)   aponueroses  
🗑
are fibrous connective tissue sheets that wrap around muscle bundles to hold them in place   fasciae  
🗑
comprises the skeleton of the body which supports and protects underlying soft tissue parts and organs and also serves as attachments for skeletal muscles   osseous(bone tissue)  
🗑
provides firm but flexible support for the embryonic skeleton and part of the adult skeleton   cartilage  
🗑
forms the skeleton of the embryo   hyaline  
🗑
strong flexible supportive substance found between bones and wherever great strength (and a degree of rigidity) is needed   fibrocartilage  
🗑
intercellular matrix is embedded with a network of elastic fibers and is firm but flexible   elastic cartilage  
🗑
transports nutrient and oxygen molecules to cells and metabolic wastes away from cells (can be considered as a liquid tissue)   blood  
🗑
transports tissue fluid proteins,fats,and other materials from the tissues to the circulatory system   lymph  
🗑
the cells have the ability to contract to enable the heart to pump blood throughout and out of the heart   cardiac muscle  
🗑
muscles are attached to the movable parts of the skeleton caple of rapid powerful contractions and long states of partially sustained contractions allowing for voluntary movement   skeletal(striated voluntary) muscle  
🗑
provide for involuntary movement   smooth(nonstriated voluntary)  
🗑
branches through which various parts of the body are connected and their activities coordinated found in the brain,spinal cord,and nerves   neurons(nerve cells)  
🗑
ability of nerve tissue to respond to enviromental changes   irritability  
🗑
ability to carry a nerve impulse (message)   conductivity  
🗑
double walled membrane that produces a watery fluid and lines closed body cavities   serous membranes  
🗑
outer part of the membrane that lines the cavity is known as   parietal membrane  
🗑
overs the organ within is known   visceral membrane  
🗑
is given to the specific serous membranes all beginning with the letter p   serosa  
🗑
lines the thoracic or chest cavity and protects the lungs the fluid is called plueral fluid   pleural membrane  
🗑
lines the heart cavity and protects the heart. fluid called pericardial fluid   pericardial membrane  
🗑
lines the abdominal cavity and protects the abdominal organs fluid is called peritoneal fluid   peritoneal membrane  
🗑
specialized type of epithelial membrane   cutaneous membrane(skin)  
🗑
lines joint cavities   synovial membrane  
🗑
structure of several types of tissues grouped together to perform a single function   organ  
🗑
group of organs that acts together to perfom a specific related function is called   organ system  
🗑
pain swelling,redness and loss of motion   inflammation  
🗑
resulting from an external force will cause tissue damage and injury   trauma  
🗑
cells can also alter tissue and cause damage and trauma   abnormal growth  
🗑
from a change in structure or function of tissue at the chromosal level or a result of enviromental factors   birth defects  
🗑
takes place in a clean wound   primary repair  
🗑
cut or incision on the skin where infection is not present   clean wound  
🗑
when capillary fluid dries and seals the wound   scab  
🗑
if a great or deep area of skin is destroyed skin may be needed to help in wound healing   skin grafts  
🗑
when damage occurs to d eep tissues the edge of the wound must be brought together with   suture  
🗑
gives shape to body protects delicate parts of the body provides space for attaching muscles is instrumental in forming blood stores minerals   skeletal  
🗑
determines posture produces body heat provides for movement   muscular  
🗑
prepares food for absorption and use by body cells through modification of chemical and physical states   digestive  
🗑
