Question
Answer
A group of similar cells that perform the a common function is called   Tissues  
🗑
the outermost layer of tissue is called the   Ectoderm  
🗑
the middle layer of tissue is called the   Mesoderm  
🗑
this inner layer of tissue is called the   Endoderm  
🗑
Each layer gives rise to different types of tissues, this is a process called   Differentiation  
🗑
Cells that can differentiate into many different types of cells, Such as liver cells, skin cells, or blood cells.   Stem Cells  
🗑
this Layer, Gives rise to epidermis and nervous system   Ectoderm  
🗑
This Layer, produces mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, thyroid gland, and secretory parts of the pancreas   Endoderm  
🗑
This Layer, Gives rise to connective and ,muscle tissue   Mesoderm  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue is also called   Epithelium  
🗑
This tissue, is a continuous sheet of tightly packed cells   Epithelial Tissue  
🗑
This tissue, covers the Body's surface   Epithelial Tissue  
🗑
This tissue, Lines the body cavities and many of the organs   Epithelial Tissue  
🗑
Cells that are "flat" and "Plate-like" are called   Squamous  
🗑
Cells that are Cube-shaped are   Cuboidal  
🗑
these cells are higher then they are wide, column-shaped cells are called   Columnar  
🗑
If a Layer is "simple" it means   One Layer  
🗑
If a Layer is "Stratified" it means   Many Layers  
🗑
Modified cells containing secretory vesicles that produce large quantities of mucus   Goblet Cells  
🗑
These Glands, secrete their products (such as tears, sweat, or gastric juices) into ducts   Exocrine  
🗑
These Glands are offen called ductless   Endocrine  
🗑
These glands secrete their products, Called hormones, directly into the blood   Endocrine  
🗑
if a tissue consists of a single layer of flat, scale like cells its called   Simple Squamous Epithelium  
🗑
this is tissue layer allows for ready diffusion or filtration because of its thinness   Simple Squamous Epithelium  
🗑
If a tissue consists of a single layer of cube like cells its called   Simple Cuboidal Epithelium  
🗑
this tissue layer secretes and absorbs   Simple Cuboidal Epithelium  
🗑
If tissue layer consists of a single layer of columnar cells it is called   Simple Columnar Epithelium  
🗑
This tissue layer secretes mucus by goblet cells   Simple Columnar Epithelium  
🗑
if a tissue consists of a single layer of IRREGULARLY shaped columnar cells its called   Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium  
🗑
if a tissue layer consists of multiple layers or squamous cells its called   stratified Squamous Epithelium  
🗑
the most widespread, and the most varied, of all tissues is called   Connective Tissue  
🗑
What type of connective tissue is found in Ligaments?   Dense Fibrous  
🗑
What type of connective tissue is found in fat?   Adipose  
🗑
What type of connective tissue is found in Vertebral discs?   Cartilage  
🗑
what type of connective tissue is found in the framework of the spleen?   Reticular  
🗑
What type if connective tissue is found under epithelia?   Areolar  
🗑
a key component of connective tissue that allows it to be so diverse is   Extracellular Matrix  
🗑
these fibers are strong and flexible but not resist stretching   Collagenous  
🗑
these fibers are the most abundant of fibers   Collagenous  
🗑
these fibers occur in networks and support small structures such as capillaries and nerve fibers   Reticular  
🗑
these fibers are made of protein called elastin   Elastic  
🗑
these fibers can stretch and recoil like a rubber band   Elastic  
🗑
this tissue consists of collagen and elastin fibers in a soft, gel-like matrix   Areolar Tissue  
🗑
this tissue connects many adjacent structures in the body   Areolar Tissue  
🗑
this tissue Surrounds blood vessels, nerves, the esophagus, and the trachea   Areolar Tissue  
🗑
This tissue is Dominated by cells   Adipose Tissue  
🗑
this tissue Forms supporting, protective pads around the kidneys and various other structures   Adipose Tissue  
🗑
This tissue acts as a storage depot for excess food   Adipose Tissue  
🗑
This tissue helps insulate the body to conserve body heat   Adipose Tissue  
🗑
This tissue consists of a loose network of reticular fibers and cells   Reticular Tissue  
🗑
this tissue forms the framework of the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow   Reticular Tissue  
🗑
Cord-like structures charged with attaching muscles to bones is called   Tendons  
🗑
Attaching bone to bone is called   Ligaments  
🗑
Dense connective tissue that forms bands or sheets that bind together organs and muscles are called   Fascia  
🗑
the tissue that forms a protective capsule or sheath around the kidneys, spleen and nerves is called   Fascia  
🗑
Cartilage is composed of cells called   Chondrocytes  
🗑
This type of cartilage is found in the ends of movable joints, at the point where the ribs attach to the breast bone, and the supportive rings around the trachea   Hyaline Cartilage  
🗑
This type of cartilage provides flexible support to the external ear and the epiglottis   Elastic Cartilage  
🗑
This type of cartilage Forms the discs between the vertebrae and the knee joints   Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Osseous tissue is another word for   Bone  
🗑
Bone is composed of bone cells called   Osteocytes  
🗑
A liquid matrix that surrounds blood cells is called   Plasma  
🗑
The units that conduct nervous impulses are called   Neurons  
🗑
These protect and assist neurons   Neuroglia  
🗑
Each neuron has a large body, called a   Soma  
🗑
Extending form the soma are multiple, short processes called   Dendrites  
🗑
The neuron contains a single, long nerve fiber called the   Axon  
🗑
Skeletal muscle consists of long, thin cells called   Muscle fibers  
🗑
skeletal muscle may also be called   Striated or Voluntary muscle  
🗑
These junctions allow electrical impulses to spread rapidly from cell to cell   Intercalated discs  
🗑
this occurs when damaged tissue cells are replaced with the same type of cells, resulting in functional new tissue   Regeneration  
🗑
this occurs when the damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue, which is composed mainly of collagen   Fibrosis  
🗑
Thin sheets of tissue that fulfill many crucial functions in the body is called   Membranes  
🗑
Mucous membranes secrete   Mucus  
🗑
A water solution that coast and protects the cells of the membrane   Mucus  
🗑
this lines the spaces between bones, where they secrete synovial fluid to prevent friction during movement   Synovial Membranes  
🗑


   

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.
