        Help!  

Question
Answer
Groups of cells that are similar to each other in structure and function   Tissues  
🗑
The study of tissues   Histology  
🗑
This type of tissue forms large, continuous sheets   Epithelial tissue  
🗑
This type of tissue is concerned primarily with protection, absorption, filtration, and secretion   Epithelial tissue  
🗑
List the four characteristics of epithelial tissue   1. Forms continuous sheets\n2. One surface always unattached, other attached to basement membrane\n3. Has no blood supply of its own\n4. Able to regenerate, or repair itself quickly  
🗑
This type of epithelia is located in blood vessel walls, alveoli, and kidneys. It permits exchange of nutrients, waste; diffusion of O2 and CO2; and filtration of water and electrolytes   Simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
This type of epithelia lines kidney tubules and glands like the thyroid, pancreas and salivary. Function is absorption of water and electrolytes; secretion of enzymes and hormones   Simple cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
This type of epithelia lines the digestive tract and functions are protection, absorption, secretion of digestive juice   Simple columnar epithelium  
🗑
This epithelia lines the respiratory tract and reproductive tubes (fallopian tubes). Functions to clean respiratory tract and sweeps egg toward uterus   Pseudostratified columnar epithelium  
🗑
This epithelia forms the outer layer of skin and lines the mouth, esophagus, anus, and vagina. Functions to protect body from microbes and withstands friction   Stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
This epithelia lines the urinary bladder and permits it to expand as it fills with urine   Transitional epithelium  
🗑
This type of gland has ducts, or tiny tubes, into which the secretions are released onto the body surface or into a body cavity   Exocrine glands  
🗑
This type of gland secretes hormones directly inot the blood stream. Does NOT have ducts   Endocrine glands  
🗑
This type of tissue is the most abundant of the four types and is widely distributed throughout the body   Connective tissue  
🗑
All connective tissues share what two characteristics?   1. All but ligaments and tendons have good blood supply\n2. Most have alot of intercellular matrix  
🗑
Material located outside a connective tissue cell is called __________   Intercellular matrix  
🗑
What types of protein fibers are also found in the intercellar matrix of most connective tissue?   Collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers  
🗑
This type of loose connective tissue is found beneath the skin, most epithelial layers, and between muscles. It functions to bind together, protects, cushions: "tissue glue"   Areolar Connective tissue  
🗑
This type of loose connective tissue is found in the subcutaneous layer, around kidneys and heart, and behind the eyeballs. It functions to cushion, insulat, and store fat   Adipose Connective tissue  
🗑
This type of loose connective tissue forms the internal framework of lymphoid organs like lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow   Reticular Connective tissue  
🗑
This type of connective tissue binds structures together by formin tendons, ligaments, organ capsules, fascia and the dermis of the skin   Dense Fibrous connective tissue  
🗑
This type of cartilage supports, protects, and provides framework. It is found at the ends of long bones, connects ribs to sternum, nose, fetal skeleton, and makes up the rings in trachea   Hyaline cartilage  
🗑
This type of cartilage is found between the vertebrae, forms the pads in knee joint and between pubic bones.   Fibrocartilage  
🗑
This type of cartilage forms the external ear and part of the larynx   Elastic cartilage  
🗑
This type of connective tissue is very hard and contains calcium. It protects, provides a framework for our body.   Bones  
🗑
This type of connective tissue transports nutrients, hormones, O2, CO2, and wastes and is found in the blood vessels of the body   Blood  
🗑
This connective tissue drains interstitial fluid and is involved in the immune response. Found in vessels other than blood vessels in body   Lymph  
🗑
This type of dense fibrous connective tissue forms cordlike structures that attach muscles to bones   Tendons  
🗑
This type of dense fibrous connective tissue connects bones to bones   Ligaments  
🗑
The tough dense fibrous connective tissue that surrounds certain organs such as the liver and kidney is called this?   Capsule  
🗑
The type of dense fibrous connective tissue that covers muscles, blood vessels, and nerves is called _________   Fascia  
🗑
The cells that form cartilage   Chondrocytes  
🗑
The layer of connective tissue surrounding cartilage   Perichondrium  
🗑
Bone tissue is also called this   Osseous tissue  
🗑
Cells that make bone are called this   Osteocytes  
🗑
Condition in which mineral is lost from bone causing them to be weak and prone to fracture   Osteoporosis  
🗑
The fluid part of blood   Plasma  
🗑
This type of tissue makes up the brain, spinal cord and nerves   Nervous tissue  
🗑
These nerve cells transmit electrical signals to and from the brain and spinal cord   Neurons  
🗑
This part of the neuron receives information and takes it to the cell body   Dendrites  
🗑
The part of the neuron contains the nucleus   Cell body  
🗑
This part of the neuron transmits information away from the cell body   Axon  
🗑
This type of neural cell helps support and take care of the neurons. Called "nerve glue"   Neuroglia  
🗑
This tissue is made up of cells that shorten or contract   Muscle tissue  
🗑
Name the three types of muscle?   1. Skeletal\n2. Smooth\n3. Cardiac  
🗑
This muscle type is striated, voluntary, and attaches to the bones to move them   Skeletal muscle  
🗑
This muscle type is unstriated, involuntary, and found in the walls of viscera, or organs, bronchioles, and blood vessels   Smooth muscle  
🗑
This muscle type is found only in the heart, is involuntary and striated   Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Thin sheets of tissue that cover surfaces, line body cavities, and surround organs   Membranes  
🗑
Membranes are of two types. They are _______ and ______   Epithelial membranes\nConnective tissue membranes  
🗑
Epithelial membranes include these three membrane types   1. Cutaneous membrane\n2. Mucous membrane\n3. Serous membrane  
🗑
This epithelial membrane forms the skin   Cutaneous membrane  
🗑
This epithelial membrane lines all body cavities that open to the exterior of the body   Mucous membrane  
🗑
