Body Tissues

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show The study of tissues  
🗑
show A group of cells performing similar functions  
🗑
show A substance produced by the cells of a specific tissue and CAN contain protein fibers, salts, H2O and dissolved macromolecules  
🗑
4 Types of Tissue   show
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
show All epithelial tissues lack blood vessels. The cells receive their nutrients by diffusion from underlying tissues.  
🗑
show Highly innervated to give info about the outside  
🗑
show Because apical surface is constantly exposed to the environment, epithelial cells are frequently damaged or die. They are replaced as quickly as they are lost  
🗑
show - Physical protection - Selective permeability – regulates the passage of certain molecules in or out of a certain region of the body- Secretion- Sensations  
🗑
BASEMENT MEMBRANE   show
🗑
2 LAYERS OF BASEMENT MEMBRANE   show
🗑
Epithelial cells are strongly bound by   show
🗑
TYPES OF INTERCELLULAR JUNCTIONS   show
🗑
TIGHT JUNCTIONS   show
🗑
ADHERING JUNCTIONS   show
🗑
show -Dsn't encircle cell(like a button or snap between 2 adjacent cells)-Sites of mechicanical stress-Thickened protein plaque on ea of the apposed cell membranes w/ a network of proteins spanning intercellular space between plaques (cytoplasm side)  
🗑
show - Fluid-filled channels that directly connect the cytoplasms of apposed cells sharing these structures- These structures allow adjacent cells to communicate with each other by the flow of ions and other small molecular messengers  
🗑
show Classified according to two criteria:1. Number of layers of cells2. Shape of the cells  
🗑
show 1. Simple epithelium 2. Stratified epithelium3. Pseudostratified epithelium  
🗑
SIMPLE EPITEHLIUM   show
🗑
show two or more layers of cells. Not all cells have an apical surface nor do all cells attach to the basement membrane  
🗑
PSEUDOSTRATIFIED EPITHELIUM   show
🗑
show - Squamous – flattened and similar to the shape of a fried egg- Cuboidal – about the same size on all sides. The nucleus is usually centrally located- Columnar – taller than they are wide and nucleus is oval and located in the basal region of the cell  
🗑
show - Found lining the inside of the urinary bladder- Changes shape between squamous and cuboidal depending on whether bladder is full and its wall is stretched or empty and its wall is contracted  
🗑
show Most diverse, abundant, widely distributed and structurally varied of all 4 tissue typesFunction is to “connect” one structure to another structure; CT is the “glue” and “filler” of the body  
🗑
Examples of CT   show
🗑


   

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.
