Question
Answer
Dense Regular C.T   C: densely packed collagen fibers are parallel to direction of stress F: attaches muscle to bone and bone to bone; resists stress applied in one direction L: Tendons and Ligaments  
🗑
simple cuboidal   C: single layered cubed like cells, nucleus is well rounded F: secretion and absorption; secretion of mucin L: lining body cavities (thoracic, pericardium, abdominal) kidney tubules, cover ovaries  
🗑
Simple Columnar   C: tall, appear columnar, sections are perpendicular to membrane, may contain goblet cells that secrete mucin F: secretion and absorption L: lines most digestive tract  
🗑
Stratified Colunmar   C: RARE. column shaped cells arrange in multiple layers F: Secretion and protection L: pharynx, anus, female uterus, male urethra and large ducts of some exocrine glands  
🗑
straitified Cuboidal   C: 2-3 layers of round nucleus in cubed shaped cell at apical surface F: protection and secretion L: sweat glands, mammary glands and salivary glands  
🗑
adipose ct   C: nucleus of adipocyte, vacuole containing fat droplet F: stores lipids 'fats' for fuel and thermal insulation and cushions organs, insulation, shock abosorber L: under skin surrounding organs, breast and cavities within bones. and kidneys  
🗑
stratified squamous epithelium   C: cuboidal as layer, degenerate surface cells, withstand moderate abrasion F: protection L: mouth, vagina, anal canal and esophagus  
🗑
Pseudostratified columnar ciliated (PSCC)   C: all tissue begin @ basement membrane, nuclei appears at various levels, and cilia F: protection; ciliated form also involved in secretion of musin and movement of mucus across surface by ciliary action L: nasal septum, trachea, bronchi and larynx  
🗑
transitional   C: stratified squamous/cubodial appearance and appears to be 4-5 layers thick F: distention L: ureter, urinary bladder  
🗑
Loose Areolar C.T   C: fibers, ground substance, matrix, elastic fiber, fibroblast and nuclei F: binds tissue, skin connects to muscle, protection, nourishment to the organs and structure it binds, stores "body fluid" L: beneath skin, around blood vessel, nerves and muscle  
🗑
elastic connective tissue   C: elastic fibers, lumen of artery of veins F: elastic fibers can stretch 1 1/2 their length and then recoil, fibers provide elasticity to tissues L: elastic fibers, lumen of artery or vein  
🗑
Blood C.T   C: REd blood cells, white blood cells and platelets F: carry oxygen and glucose to cells L: under skin  
🗑
simple squamous   C: one layered, flattened, irregularly shaped cells forming a continuous surface. F: Diffusion and Filtration L: covering visceral organs, capillary walls and aveoli of lungs  
🗑
Dense Irregular C.T   C:collage fibers, randomly arrange and clumped together; fibroblasts in spaces among fibers; more ground substance than in dense regular c.t. F: provides strength in tissues L: dermis of skin, periosteum, joint capsules, heart valves, dura mater  
🗑
Simple cuboidal   C: block appearance, nucleus is well rounded F: Secretion, excretion and absorption L: Lining Kidney tubules, salivary ducts and pancreatic ducts  
🗑
reticular C.T   C: Nuclei of reticular fibers, reticular fibers. Thin and netted F: forms stroma of lymphatic organs L: stroma spleen, cavities in lymph nodes, liver and bone marrow  
🗑
Areolar loose c.t   C: mostly ground substance, looks like fiberglass, lesser amount f collagen and elastic fibers F: binds and packs around organs L: surrounding nerves, vessels; and subcutaneous layer  
🗑
elastic cartilage C.T   C: elastic and collagen fibers are arrange irregularly F: provides framework and supports organs L: walls of large arteries  
🗑
Fibrocartilage CT   C: visible, parallel collagen fibers in matrix; lucunae house chondrocytes; no perchondrium F: shock absorbers L: between interbertebral disks, pubis symphysis and knee joint  
🗑
Hyaline Ct   C: looks like glass. clear, living in tissue; two chondrocytes per lacuna F: support with flexibility, forms smooth surfaces in joints L: nasal cartilage, ends of long bones, connects ribs to sternum and "C" shaped rings in trachea  
🗑
blood c.t   C: red spots, F: transport, themoregulation, defense agianst pathogens and communication L: blood  
🗑
bone C.T   C: looks like tree rings F: support, protection L: outer layer of bones  
🗑
ciliated simple columnar epithelium   C: single layer of tall, narrow ciliated cells, oval nucleas oriented lengthwise in teh basal region of the cell F: secretion of mucin and movement along apical surface L: ling of uterine tubes and large brochioles of respiratory tract  
🗑
non keratinized stratified squamous   C:multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous, surface cells are alive and kept moist F: protection of underlying tissue L: oral cavity, part of pharynx, esophagus, vagina and anus  
🗑
keratinized stratified squamous   C: multiple layers or cells, basal cells typically are cuboidal or polyhedral, while apical cells are squamous; more superficial cells are dead and filled with keratin F: protection of underlying tissue L: epidermis of skin  
🗑
NON CILIATED PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR   L: RARE; LINES EPIDIDMYMIS AND PART OF MALE URETHA  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   C: fibers are long, cylindrical, striated, parallel and un branched. F: moves skeleton; responsible for voluntary body movement, locomotion, heat production L: attaches to bones or sometimes to skin (facial, muscles) also in sphincters-lips, urethra, anus  
🗑
cardiac muscle tissue   C: cells are short, bifurcated and straited, with one or two centrally located nuclei, intercalated discs between cells F: involuntary contraction and relaxation pump blood in heart L: heart wall (myocardium)  
🗑
smooth muscle tissue   C: cells are fusiform, short, nonstriated, and contain one centrally located nucleas F: involuntary movements and motion; moves materials through internal organs L: walls of hollow internal organs, such as vessels, airways, stomach, bladder, uterus  
🗑

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.
