simple squamous epithelium (found & function)   lung; diffusion  
🗑
simple cuboidal epithelium (found & function)   kidney; secretion and absorption  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium (found & function)   digestive tract, stomach,; absorption secretion of mucus  
🗑
pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia (found & function)   male sperm carrying ducts, trachea, respiratory tracts; secretion, propels mucus using cilia  
🗑
stratified squamous epithelium (found & function)   Keritonized- SKIN nonkeritonized- moist linings esophogus, mouth and vagina; protects underlying tissues  
🗑
transitional epithelium (found & function)   BLADDER; stretched and allows to fill with urine  
🗑
loose AREOLAR CT (found & function)   mucus membranes, surrounds capillaries, under epithelia of body widely distributed; wraps and cushions organs, hold and conveys tissue fluids  
🗑
adipose tissue (found & function)   under skin around kidneys and eyeballs, within abdomen, in breasts; reserve food fuel, insulates against heat loss  
🗑
dense regular CT (found & function)   (light yellow, looks almost like skeletal) tendons, most ligaments; attaches muscle to bone or to muscle, attaches bone to bone  
🗑
dense irregular CT (found & function)   dermis of the skin; able to withstand tension exerted in many directions, structural strength  
🗑
reticular CT (found & function)   lymphoid organs (lymph nodes); soft internal skeleton that supports other cell types (WBC's, macrophages, mast cells)  
🗑
Hyaline (found & function)   (Purple) forms the embryonic skeleton, forms costal cartilages in ribs, nose and trachea; supports and reinforces, cushioning properties  
🗑
Elastic cartilage (found & function)   (deep concentrated blue and pink) external ear; maintains shape of structure, allows flexibility  
🗑
fibrocaritlage (found & function)   intervertebral discs; tensile strength, absorbs shock  
🗑
bone (found & function)   bones; supports an protects, levers for muscles, marrow for blood cell formation  
🗑
blood (found & function)   blood vessels; transport of nutrients, respiratory gases  
🗑
skeletal tissue (found & function)   skeletal muscles attached to bones, occasionally skin; VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT, locomotion, facial expressons  
🗑
cardiac tissue (found & function)   (dark purple) walls of the heart; contracts, propels blood into circulation, INVOLUNTARY  
🗑
smooth tissue (found & function)   walls of hallow organs; propels substances along passageways, INVOLUNTARY  
🗑
nervous tissue (found & function)   brain, spinal cord, nerves; transmit electrical signals from sensory receptors,  
🗑
5 characteristics of epithelial tissue   1. composed entirely of cells, very little ECM 2. cells are jointed tightly together into one or more sheets 3. have a basement membrane 4. avascular 5. can regenerate by mitosis  
🗑
epithelial tissue can be classified by:   cell shape & cell arrangement  
🗑
definition of Tissue:   an organization of cells similar in structure and perform a common or related function,  
🗑
the most durable tissue type:   connective  
🗑
most widespread tissue in the body:   connective  
🗑
5 major FUNCTIONS of epithelium:   protection (ie skin), absorption (ie cells lining digestive tract), filtration (ie kidneys), secretion (ie glands), sensory reception (free endings of sensory neurons)  
🗑
how does stratified differ from simple epithelia?   Stratified have more layers for protection; simple allow materials to move across them and are less protective  
🗑
difference between exocrine and endocrine glands?   Endocrine are ductless glands with secrete hormones that are liberated into the bloodstream. Exocrine have ducts which secrete their various types of secretion to the surface of the body  
🗑
lining of the esophagus   stratified squamous  
🗑
lining of the stomach   simple columnar  
🗑
alveolar sacs of lungs   simple squamous  
🗑
tubules of the kidney   simple cuboidal  
🗑
epidermis of the skin   stratified squamous  
🗑
lining of the bladder   transitional  
🗑
forms the thin serous membranes   simple squamous  
🗑
4 Types of CT   connective Tissue Proper, cartilage, blood, bone  
🗑
CT can be classified by:   no free surface, varying degrees of vascularity, widely separated by lots of non living ECM  
🗑
ECM types of fibers   collagen, elastic, reticular  
🗑
functions performed by CT   protection, support, binding together other tissues  
🗑
2 characteristics developed in neurons:   irritability & conductivity  
🗑
how are neurons SIMILAR to other cells   contain nucleus and usual organelles  
🗑
how are neurons DIFFERENT from other cells   cytoplasm is drawn out into long processes  
🗑


   

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.
