        Help!  

tissue
function
epithelium   forms membranes  
🗑
muscle   allows movement of limbs and for organ movement within the body  
🗑
connective   function is to support cells  
🗑
nervous   function is to communicate  
🗑
connective   function is to protect and line  
🗑
nervous   uses electrochemical signals to carry out its functions  
🗑
connective   supports and reinforces the body organs  
🗑
epithelium   cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances  
🗑
nervous   basis of the major controlling system of the body  
🗑
muscle   its cells shorten to exert force  
🗑
epithelium   forms endocrine and exocrine glands  
🗑
connective   surrounds and cushions body organs  
🗑
muscle   to contract and move body  
🗑
connective   characterized by having large amounts of extracellular material  
🗑
muscle   allows you to smile, grasp, swim, ski, and throw a ball  
🗑
connective   widely distributed; found in bones, cartilages, and fat deposits  
🗑
nervous   forms the brain and spinal cord  
🗑
a tissue is:   a collection of cells  
🗑
4 major tissue types are:   epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle  
🗑
blood vessels are lined with:   squamous epithelium  
🗑
single layered, scale like cells:   squamous epithelium  
🗑
urinary system is lined with:   transitional epithelium  
🗑
simple columnar epithelium is found:   lining small intestine  
🗑
stratified epithelia:   consists of several layers of cells  
🗑
transitional epithelium allows:   bladder to stretch  
🗑
single layered, elongated cells:   columnar epithelium  
🗑
stratified squamous epithelium does not occur:   lining the stomach  
🗑
surface cells of stratified squamous epithelium are continually:   being shed from surface  
🗑
5 examples of connective tissues;   blood, tendon, bone, adipose tissue, cartilage  
🗑
muscle tissue that has branched fibers, intercalated discs between adjacent cells, and contracts automatically:   cardiac muscle  
🗑
muscle tissues that has long fibers and nuclei on the surface:   striated voluntary muscle  
🗑
which muscle tissue moves bones?   striated voluntary muscle  
🗑
muscle tissue found in blood vessel walls, in the gut wall and in glands?   smooth involuntary muscle  
🗑
epithelial   consists of many cells with little intercellular substance(matrix)  
🗑
connective   penetrated by blood vessels (vascular)  
🗑
connective   does not cover body surfaces or line passageways and cavities, but is more internally located; binds, supports, protects  
🗑
fibrous   found where strength and rigidity are needed, as in discs between vertebrae and the symphysis pubis  
🗑
hyaline   white, glossy cartilage covering ends of bones (articular), covering ends of ribs (costal), and giving strength to nose, larynx and trachea  
🗑
elastic   provides strength and flexibility, as in external part of the ear  
🗑

🗑
attached to bones   skeletal  
🗑
spindle-shaped cells with ends tapering at points   smooth  
🗑
contain intercalated discs and gap junctions   cardiac  
🗑
found in walls of intestine, urinary bladder, and blood vessels   smooth  
🗑
cells are multinucleate   cardiac  
🗑
now i know my abcs   next time wont you sing with me  
🗑


   

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.
