Question
Answer
Consists of collagen and elastin fibers in soft, gel-like matrix   Areolar Tissue  
🗑
Dominated by fat cells. Forms supporting, protective pads around kidneys and various other structures   Adipose Tissue  
🗑
Consists of a loose network of reticular fibers and cells. Forms the framework of the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow   Reticular Tissue  
🗑
Types of Connective Tissue   Fibrous connective tissue, cartilage, bone and blood.  
🗑
Types of Loose Connective Tissues   Aerolar Tissue, Adipose Tissue, and Reticular Tissue  
🗑
Types of Dense Connective Tissue   Tendons and Ligaments  
🗑
Bands of Dense Connective Tissues. This forms bands or sheets and bind together the organs and muscles. Also forms a protective sheath around the kidneys, spleen, and nerves.   Fascia  
🗑
Adipose   Fat  
🗑
Framework into which the cells of tissue are embedded.   Extracellular Matrix  
🗑
Fibers that are strong and flexible but resist stretching; these are the most abundant fibers   Collagenous Fibers  
🗑
Occurs in networks and support small structures such as capillaries and nerve fibers   Reticular Fibers  
🗑
Made of protein called elastin these fibers can stretch and recoil like a rubber band   Elastic Fibers  
🗑
Cartlidge is fast to heal...True or False?   False  
🗑
Three types of cartilage   Hyaline Cartilage, Elastic Cartilage and Fibrocartliage  
🗑
What type of cartilage is found at the end of movable joints, at the point where the ribs attach to the breastbone, the larynx, and the supportive rings around the trachea? Also forms most of the fetal skeleton.   Hyaline  
🗑
What type of cartilage is flexible support to the external ear and epiglottis?   Elastic Cartilage  
🗑
What type of cartilage forms the discs between the vertebrae and in the knee joint because this cartilage resists compression and absorbs shock?   Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Osseous Tissue   Bone  
🗑
Contains mineral salt crystals   Osseous Tissue/Bones  
🗑
Stores Calcium   Bones  
🗑
Bone has a rich blood supply? True or False?   True  
🗑
Unique among the connective tissues in that it exist as a fluid   Blood  
🗑
Which connective tissue doesn't contain any fibers?   Blood  
🗑
Cartilage is composed of cells called?   Chondrocytes  
🗑
Cartlidge has a rubbery, flexible matrix? True or False?   True  
🗑
Has a high degree of excitability and conductivity   Nervous Tissues  
🗑
The units that conduct nervous impulses   Neurons  
🗑
What protects and assists the neurons?   Neuroglia  
🗑
Soma   large cell body of the neuron  
🗑
Dendrites   extends from the soma, multiple, short processes.  
🗑
Contains a single, long nerve fiber and transmits signals to other cells   Axon  
🗑
Consists of long, thin cells called muscle fibers   Skeletal Muscle  
🗑
Joined together with junctions called intercalated discs. These junctions allow electrical impulses to spread rapidly from cell to cell; this rapid transmission permits almost simultaneous stimulation and contraction.   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Cardiac muscle is why type of muscle?   Involuntary  
🗑
Cardiac muscle is striated. True or False?   True  
🗑
Smooth muscle consists of long, spindle shaped cells and lacks the striped pattern of striated muscle. Is smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?   Involuntary  
🗑
What type of muscle lines the walls of many organs, including those of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tract?   Smooth Muscle  
🗑
What occurs when damage tissue cells are replaced with the same type of cells, resulting in functional new tissue?   Regeneration  
🗑
What occurs when damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue?   Fibrosis  
🗑
What are the 2 ways that tissue can repair itself?   Regeneration and Fibrosis  
🗑
When a wound is healing, the newly formed tissue is called?   Granulation Tissues  
🗑
Secretes collagen in the granulation tissue?   Fibroblasts  
🗑
Cutaneous Membrane is known as the ?   Skin  
🗑
Membrane that lines the body cavities is actually one continuous sheet.   Serous Membrane  
🗑
Membrane that surrounds each lung and lines the thoracic cavity   Pleura  
🗑
Membrane that surrounds the heart   Pericardium  
🗑
Membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and covers the abdominal organs   Peritoneum  
🗑
Cartlidge forming cells   Chondrocytes  
🗑
Columnar Epithelium   Epithelial tissue composed of cells having a tall, columnar shape  
🗑
Cuboidal Epithellum   Epithelial tissue consisting of cells having a cube- like shape  
🗑
Endocrine gland   A gland that secretes its product, called a hormone, directly into the bloodstream  
🗑
Epithelium   the layer of cells forming the epidermis of the skin and the surface layer of mucous and serous membranes  
🗑
Exocrine Gland   A gland that secretes its product into a duct, which then empties onto a body surface or inside a body cavity.  
🗑
Goblet Cell   modified columnar cell containing secretory vesicles that produce large quantities of mucus  
🗑
Mucous membrane   Epithelial membrane that lines body surfaces that open directly to the body's exterior  
🗑
Muscle Tissue   Tissue consisting of contractile cells or fibers that effect movement of an organ or body part  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   Tissue with a high degree of excitability and conductivity that make up the nervous system  
🗑
Osseous Tissue   Bone  
🗑
Bone-forming cells   Osteocytes  
🗑
Squamous Epithelium   Epithelium tissue consisting of thin, flat cells  
🗑
Stem Cells   Specialized cell that can differentiate into many different types of cells  
🗑
Tissue   Groups of similar cells that perform a common function  
🗑
Cardiac muscle is unique in that it doesn't depend upon stimulation by extrinsic nerves to contract. This is called ?   Automaticity  
🗑
Stratisfied means   more than one layer  
🗑


   

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.
