Tissues & Functions

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

Tissue
Function
Covering and Lining Epithelial   Covers body and organ surfaces; lines internal spaces.  
🗑
Glandular Epithelial   Produce products and release from cell.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Binds, supports, & strengthens organs.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Protects and insulates organs.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Main source of stored energy.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Main transport system.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Main site of your immune responses.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Never exposed to outside air & is regenerative.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   Closely packed.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   Attached by an underlying connective tissue by an uncellular basement membrane.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   The surface opposite the basement membrane is not attached.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   This tissue is avascular but inervated.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   This tissue is highly regenerative.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Consists of relatively few, loosely arranged cells.  
🗑
Connective Tissue Proper   "Average Joes", bind tissues and support organ structure.  
🗑
Loose Connective Tissue   Most common tissue; Attaches skin to underlying muscles; site for many immune reactions.  
🗑
Adipose Tissue   Found beneath skin and around internal organs.  
🗑
Adipose Tissue   Fat storage; Serves as a protective cushion for internal organs.  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue   This tissue has a poor blood supply so it is slow in healing.  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue   This tissue is characterized by an abundance of tighty packed collagen cells.  
🗑
Fibrous Connective Tissue   Tendons & Ligaments ; Deep layer of skin ; Elastic  
🗑
Specialized Connective Tissues   Cartilage, Bone, Blood  
🗑
Cartilage   Able to withstand more force then the tissues in the Connective Tissue Proper due to the collagen and elastic fibers.  
🗑
Cartilage   Body's cushions between bones ; absorbs force so bones are not abused.  
🗑
3 types of cartilage   Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   Tip of nose, attaches ribs to breast bone; allows ribcage to expand while breathing.  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   "Average" - strength, elasticity, and resiliance.  
🗑
Elastic Cartilage   Not "average" - lots of elastic, very flexible.  
🗑
Elastic Cartilage   Entire outer ear.  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   Lots of collagen, excessively strong.  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   Knee cartilage, between every bone in the vertebra.  
🗑
Bone Tissue   Hardest and most rigid because of a solid matrix ; calcuim salts in matrix.  
🗑
Blood Tissue   Red blood cells, White blood cells, & Platelets.  
🗑
Muscle Tissue   Responsible for motion, posture, and heat generation.  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   Contract & move bones (Attached to bones) ; Voluntary  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle   Makes heart muscle contract (Heart muscle) ; Involuntary  
🗑
Smooth Muscle   Controls other internal organs (stomach, bladder, uterus) ; Involuntary  
🗑
Nerve Tissue   Composed of 2 classes of cells ; Neurons and Neuroglia.  
🗑


   

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.
