Term
Definition
Tissue   Group of cells which preform a specific function.  
🗑
Epithelia functions   Protection (skin), Absorption (intestines), Secretion (glands), Excretion (kidneys). Also makes tubes in the body, the tubes are wrapped epithelial tissue.  
🗑
4 basic types of tissues   Epithelium (cellular sheets), connective (fibrous, supportive), muscle (contractile proteins), neural (electrically conductive).  
🗑
Epithelial tissues have 5 main functions   Cellular, polarity, basement membranes (including basal lamina), avascular, regeneration.  
🗑
Epidermis   Outer skin, above dermis. Has many layers of epithelium sheets, can regenerate. Doesn't bleed unless dermis is cut. Nutrients enter under basement membrane.  
🗑
Dermis   Tough leather like layer, largest layer, carries lots of veins and arteries.  
🗑
Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer)   "Hypodermic needles" - must go deep to that layer of the integumentary system. Fat in hypodermis.  
🗑
Mucous membrane   Thin, makes mucus. Found around nose/ in nose, vagina, penis, rectum and eyes. Exposed to external environment. KEEPS MOISTURE.  
🗑
Serous membrane   Covers organs/ lines body cavities making lubricant to aid organs as they move. Extremely thin (ex: pleural, pericardial and peritoneal cavities).  
🗑
Synovial fluid   Lines joint cavities - provides for exchange of fluids/ solutes between the joint cavity and the adjacent tissues.  
🗑
Cutaneous "membrane" (skin)   Covers the body. It is thick, relatively waterproof, abrasion resistant.  
🗑


   

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.
