🗑
What is the only kind of voluntary muscle tissue   Skeletal  
🗑
True or False. Nerve fibers are found in cartilage as well as in the spinal column   False  
🗑
What does Avascular mean   Lacking blood vessels, cartilage receives nutrients from the surrounding membranes  
🗑
What are the three types of cartilage?   Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibrocartilage  
🗑
What is the tissue name for bone?   Osseous Tissue  
🗑
What are 4 functions of bone?   Supports the body Protects the body Stores fat synthesizes blood cells

Does bone have more collagen or cartilage?   Collagen  
🗑
What do Osteoblasts do?   Produce Matrix  
🗑
What do Osteocytes do?   Maintain the matrix  
🗑
What are dense regular connective tissues?   closely packed bundles of collagen fibers running parallel to the direction of pull  
🗑
What is Adipose tissue?   Fat  
🗑
What are three functions of Adipose tissue   Shock absorption Insulation Energy Storage  
🗑
What is adipocyte?   Cell specialized for fat storage  
🗑

🗑
What is Glandular Epithelial Tissue   Cells that make or secrete a product  
🗑
In what two ways are Glandular Epithelial Tissue classified?   Site of product release unicellular or multicellular  
🗑
Describe Endocrine cells   lose connection to the surface ductless secretions go directly to blood  
🗑
Where are Endocrine cells located?   Adrenal and thyroid  
🗑
Describe Exocrine cells   Retain ducts secretions empty into epithelial surface  
🗑
Where are Exocrine cells located?   Sweat glands, oil glands, mucus, salivary  
🗑
Describe some special characteristics of epithelial tissue   Fit closely together in sheets (except glandular) Have one unattached surface Have a lower surface Depend on diffusion from capillaries for nutrients and oxygen Can regenerate easily if healthy  
🗑
What is the apical membrane?   The unattached surface of the epithelial tissue (Cilia, microvilli here if present)  
🗑
What is the name of the lower surface of the epithelial tissue?   Basement or basal membrane

🗑
What are the main functions of Epithelial Tissues   Protection Absorption Filtration Secretion Excretion Secretion Sensory Recept  
🗑
What are some things that happen to tissues as we age?   Epithelia thin so more easily breached Tissue repair becomes less efficient Bone, muscle and nervous tissues begin to atrophy DNA mutations possible (increased cancer risk)  
🗑
