Question
Answer
what type of tissue has single layer of flat cells and are found in kidneys, lungs, lining of heart, and blood vessels   simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
what type of tissue has a single layer and are found in ducts of glands and kidney tubules   simple cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
what type of tissue has a single layer and are found in digestive tract, gallbladder, brochi and uterine tubes   single columnar epithelium  
🗑
what type of tissue appears multi layered but is actually single layered and has many ciliated cells; found in upper respiratory tract   pseduostratified columnar epithelium  
🗑
Type of tissue that is most widespread and is found in high wear and tear areas; Its function is to protect underlying tissues in areas subjected to abrasion; found in mouth, anus and vagina   stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
type of tissue that is rare and found in some sweat and mammory glands   stratified cuboidal epithelium  
🗑
type of tissue that has limited distribution and only the apical layer is columnar; found in small amts in pharynx, male urethra and some glandular ducts   stratified columnar epithelium  
🗑
type of tissue that is found mainly in urinary tract; bladder, ureters and urethra   transitional epithelial  
🗑
Tissue that contains three elements: ground substance, fibers and cells   connective tissue  
🗑
Gel like material that fills space between cells and supports weight between bones and organs   ground substance  
🗑
Made up of ground substance and fibers   Extracellular matrix; ECM  
🗑
strongest and most abundant fiber   collagen  
🗑
fiber that's main function is for stretch and recoil   elastic fiber  
🗑
short, fine, highly branched collagenous fibers   reticular  
🗑
cell that is producing; immature form of cell   "blast" cells  
🗑
type of cell that is found in connective tissue   fibroblast  
🗑
type of cell that is found in cartilage   chondroblast  
🗑
type of cell that is found in bone   osteoblast  
🗑
mature, less active cells   "cyte" cells  
🗑
cells that are a energy source   fat cells  
🗑
tissue response to injury   white blood cells  
🗑
release histamine; aid in inflammation   mast cells  
🗑
big eater; eats dead cells; function in immune system   macrophages  
🗑
Function: wraps and cushions organs, plays important role in inflammation, holds and conveys tissue fluid   areolar loose connective tissue  
🗑
Location: under epithelia of body, forms lamina propria of mucous membranes, packages organs; surrounds capillaries   areolar loose connective tissue  
🗑
Function: shock absorption, insulation and energy storage   adipose loose connective tissue  
🗑
Location: under skin in subcutaneous tissue, around kidneys and eyeballs, within abdomen and breasts   adipose loose connective tissue  
🗑
Functions: fibers form a stroma that supports other cell types including WBC, mast cells and macrophages   reticular loose connective tissue  
🗑
Location: lymphoid organs; lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen   reticular loose connective tissue  
🗑
can withstand high tension and stretching; poorly vascularized; attaches muscles to bone; bone to bones; muscles to muscles   dense regular connective tissue  
🗑
Location: tendons, most ligaments   dense regular connective tissue  
🗑
withstands tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength   dense irregular connective tissue  
🗑
Location: fibrous capsules of organs and joints, dermis of skin, submucosa of digestive tract   dense irregular connective tissue  
🗑
allows tissue to recoil after stretching; maintains flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs following inspiration   elastic dense connective tissue  
🗑
Location: walls of larger arteries; within certain ligaments associated with vertebral column; within wall of bronchial tubes   elastic dense connective tissue  
🗑
type of cartilage that supports and reinforces; serves as resilient cushion; resists compressive stress   hyaline cartilage  
🗑
type of cartilage that forms most of embryonic skeleton, covers end of long bones in joint cavities, costal cartilages of ribs, cartilage of nose, trachea and larynx   hyaline cartilage  
🗑
type of cartilage that maintains shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility   elastic cartilage  
🗑
type of cartilage that supports the external ear and is found in epiglottis   elastic cartilage  
🗑
type of cartilage that has tensile strength that allows it to absorb compressive shock   fibrocartilage  
🗑
type of cartilage that is located in intervertebral discs; pubic symphasis, discs of knee joint   fibrocartilage  
🗑


   

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.
