What are the four types of human tissue? | *Epithelial
*Connective
Muscle
Nervous
🗑
|
||||
What is epithelial tissue? | Continuous cellular sheet that covers the body's surface, lines body cavities, and forms certain glands
🗑
|
||||
Epithelial tissue is classified by what two things? | *Number of cell layers
*Shape
🗑
|
||||
Name the three categories of cells based on number of cell layers. | *Simple (one layer)
*Stratified (multi-layered)
*Pseudostratified (one layer but appears multi-layered)
🗑
|
||||
Name the three categories of cells based on shape. | *Squamous (flat surface cells)
*Columnar (tall cylindrical surface cells)
*Cuboidal (cube-shaped surface cells)
🗑
|
||||
What is endothelium? | epithelium tissue with a single layer of squamous cells attached to a basement membrane
🗑
|
||||
What is glandular epithelium? | special epithelium that makes up organs that produce secretions
🗑
|
||||
What are the three categories of glands, determined by how they secrete their products? | *Endocrine
*Exocrine
*Mixed glands
🗑
|
||||
Where do endocrine glands secrete their products? | Into the blood or lymph
🗑
|
||||
Where do exocrine glands secrete their products? | Into ducts that lead to external/internal surfaces
🗑
|
||||
What is a mixed gland? | A gland that contains both endocrine/exocrine cells
🗑
|
||||
Where is connective tissue found? | Bones, cartilage, adipose (fatty) tissue
🗑
|
||||
What is the purpose of connective tissue? | Binds together and supports body structure
🗑
|
||||
What are the two categories of connective tissue? | *Loose
*Dense
🗑
|
||||
What is loose connective tissue? | large spaces that separate the fibers and cells; contains a lot of intercellular fluid
Also called areolar connective tissue
🗑
|
||||
What is dense connective tissue? | Provides structural support and has a greater fiber concentration
🗑
|
||||
What are the two categories of dense connective tissue? | *Dense regular connective tissue
*Dense irregular connective tissue
🗑
|
||||
What is dense regular connective tissue? | Tightly packed fibers arranged in a consistent pattern
🗑
|
||||
What is dense irregular connective tissue? | Tightly packed fibers arranged in an inconsistent pattern
🗑
|
||||
What is the function of adipose tissue? | *Specialized type of loose connective tissue
*Distributed subcutaneously
*Insulation to preserve body heat
*Cushion for internal organs
*Storage depot for excess food/reserve supplies of energy
🗑
|
||||
What are the three types of muscle tissue? | *Striated
*Cardiac
*Smooth
🗑
|
||||
What is striated muscle tissue? | Striped/striated tissue that contracts voluntarily (example: biceps)
🗑
|
||||
How is cardiac muscle tissue different from other striated tissue? | *Its fibers are separate cellular units that don't contain many nuclei
*It contracts involuntarily
🗑
|
||||
What is smooth muscle tissue? | Long, spindle-shaped cells that have no striped pattern. Activity is stimulated by autonomic nervous system. Contracts involuntarily. Lines the walls of many internal organs.
🗑
|
||||
What is the function of nervous tissue? | Serves as the body's communication; brings impulses to the cell body; conducts impulses away
🗑
|
||||
What are neurons? | Cells that generate and conduct nerve impulses. Consists of dendrites and an axon. These allow the neuron to conduct impulses over long distances.
🗑

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.
