Question
Answer
Tissues   Similiar cells with common function. Study of tissues is called histology.  
🗑
Tight Junctions   Close space between cells by fusing membranes (base stitching)Simplest type. Located among cells that form linings.(small intestine)  
🗑
Desmosomes   Bind cells by forming "spot welds" between membranes.(fingers interlaced)Most complex type.Outer skin cells.  
🗑
Gap Junctions   Form tubular channels between cells that allow exchange of substances. Muscle cells of heart, digestive tract.  
🗑
Epithelial Tissue   Protection,secretion,absorption and excretion. Covers body surface, cover and line internal organs, compose glands. Lack blood vessels,cells tightly packed and readily divide.  
🗑
Simple Squamous   Single layer, flattened cells. Line air sacs, blood vessels, and lymph vessels.  
🗑
Simple Cuboidal   Single layer cube-shaped cells. Line kidney tubules, cover ovaries, line ducts of some glands.  
🗑
Simple Columnar   Single layer, elongated cells. Nuclei near basement. Have goblet cells and sometimes cilia. Line uterus, stomach and intestines.  
🗑
Pseudostratified Columnar   Single-layer, elongated cells. Nuclei at more than 1 level. Often have cilia and goblet cells. Line respiratory passageways.  
🗑
Stratified Squamous   Many layers, top cells flattened. Outer layer of skin. Line oral cavity, vagina, and anal canal.  
🗑
Stratified Cuboidal   2 or 3 layers, cube-shaped cells. Line ducts of mammery glands, sweat glands, and pancreas.  
🗑
Startified Columnar   Top layer of elongated cells, lower layer of cube-shaped cells. Line male urethra and part of pharynx.  
🗑
Transitional   Cube-shapes and elongated mixed up.Line urinary bladder, ureters and part of urethra.  
🗑
Glandular   Composed of cells that specialize in producing and secreting substances.  
🗑
Endocrine glands   Ductless. They secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood.  
🗑
Exocrine Glands   Secrete their products into ducts that open onto surfaces, such as skin or the lining of the digestive tract.  
🗑
Unicellular Exocrine gland   Has one cell. Example goblet cell.  
🗑
Multicellular Exocrine Gland   Many cells. Example swear glands, salivary glands.  
🗑
Merocrine Glands   A fluid product released through cell membrane by exocytosis. Salivary glands, pancreatic glands, swear glands  
🗑
Apocrine Glands   Cellular product pinch off during secretion. Mammary glands, ceruminous glands  
🗑
Holocrine Glands   Secretes entire old cells filled with secretory products. Produces new cells to replace them. Sebaceous gland.  
🗑
Connective Tissue   Most abundant tissue type. Binds structures, provides suppost and protection, fills spaces and stores fat. Has varying degrees of vascularity(blood flow). Has cells that usually divide.  
🗑
Fibroblasts   Component of connective tissue. Widely distributed, large and star-shaped. Fixed cell and most common. Produce fibers.  
🗑
Macrophages   Component of connective tissue. Wandering cells. Phagocytic(engulfs things). Important in injury or infection. White blood cells.  
🗑
Mast Cells   Component of connective tissue. fixed cells. release heparin and histamine. Large cells usually located near blood vessels.  
🗑
Collagenous Fibers   Thick fibers of collagen that holds structures together. One connection point on each end. Tendons and ligaments.  
🗑
Elastic Fibers   Bundles of microfibrils embedded in elastin. Provide elastic quality to parts that stretch. Fibers branch. Vocal cords, air passages.  
🗑
Reticular Fibers   Very thin collagenous fibers. Highly branched. Form supportive networks within tissues.  
🗑
Loose Connective (Areolar) Tissue   Mainly fibroblasts. Contains collagenous and elastic fibers. Binds the skin to underlying organs and fills space between muscles.  
🗑
Adipose Tissue   Stores fat, cushions and insulates. Beneath skin, behind eyeballs, around kidney and heart.  
🗑
Reticular Connective Tissue   Composed of reticular fibers. Supports internal organ walls. Found in walls of liver, spleen,and lymphatic organs.  
🗑
Dense Connective Tissue   Packed collagenous fibers and elastic fibers. Few fibroblasts. Binds body parts together. Tendons, ligaments, dermis. Poor blood supply.  
🗑
Elastic Connective Tissue   Abundant in elastic fibers and some collagenous fibers. Has fibroblasts. Found in attachment between bones (spinal column) walls of large arteries, airways and heart.  
🗑
Bone   Solid matrix. Supports and protects. Forms blood cells and attachment for muscles. Skeleton  
🗑
Blood   Fluid matrix called plasma. Transports, defends, clots. Found throughout body in blood vessels and in heart.  
🗑
Cartilage   Provides support, frameworks and attachments;protects underlying tissues and forms structural models for many developing bones.Poor blood supply  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   Provides framework. Ends of bones, nose and rings in walls of respiratory passages.  
🗑
Elastic Cartilage   Provides flexible framework. External ear and part of larynx.  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   Absorbs shock. Between bony parts of spinal column, parts of pelvic girdle and knee.  
🗑
Serous Membrane   Line body cavities that don't open to outside. Secrete serous fluid. Inner lining of thorax and abdomem.  
🗑
Mucous Membrane   Line tubes and organs that open to outside. Secrete mucus. Line mouth, nose and throat.  
🗑
Cutaneous Membrane   Covers body otherwise known as skin.  
🗑
Synovial Membrane   Composed entirely of connective tissue. Lines joints.  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Tissue   Long, threadlike cells, striated and have many nuclei. Voluntary movement. Attached to bone.  
🗑
Smooth Muscle Tissue   Shorter cells with single, central nucleus. Involuntary movement. Non-striated. Lines walls of hollow organs. Digestive tract, constricts blood vessels, and empties bladder.  
🗑
Cardiac Muscle Tissue   Branched cells, striated, and with central nucleus. Involuntary movement.Has intercalated discs and is only found in the heart.  
🗑
Nervous Tissue   Cell with cytoplasmic extensions. Sensory reception and conduction of nerve impulses. Brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.  
🗑


   

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.
