Term
Definition
Where/More
Eptithelial tissue   closely-joined cells classified by degree fo layering or shape   on ALL free SURFACES  
🗑
Simple   Single layer    
🗑
Stratified   Multiple layers    
🗑
Transitional   Multiple layers of differnt types of epithelial tissues   found in organs which EXPAND/CONTRACT often - URINARY BLADDER  
🗑
Squamous   flat, scaley    
🗑
Cuboidal   cubed    
🗑
Columnar   column shaped    
🗑
Connective tissue   ISOLATED groups of active cells, classified by physical properties of the matrix   1. LOOSE connective tissue 2. DENSE connective tissue 3. VASCULAR connective tissue 4. CARTILAGES 5. BONE  
🗑
Muscle Tissue   elongated, densley-packed contractile cells (fibers) - classified by location and microanatomy   1. Skeletal (striated) 2. Smooth (visceral) 3. Cardiac (heart)  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle   Striated, Multi-nucleated   attached to bones - most in the body  
🗑
Smooth Muscle   Visceral, Non-striated, Tapered, Mono-nucleated   surrounds hollows in organs  
🗑
Cardiac   Striated, Banded, Mono-nucleated, Branched   Heart only  
🗑
Nerve Tissue   long, wirey cell processes, often with stellate bodies   Brain and Spinal Column  
🗑
Neurons   Nerve Tissue   impulse generation and conduction  
🗑
Neuroglia   Nerve Tissue   supportive/insulative  
🗑
Glands   clusters (involutions/ducts) of epithelial cells   usually cuboidal  
🗑
Exocrine gland   external secretion via a duct   sebum, sweat  
🗑
Endocrine   internal secretion into the bloodstream    
🗑
Body Membranes   combinations of epithelia and connective tissue   Mucous Membranes and Serous Membranes  
🗑
Mucous Membranes   different types of epithelium upon Loose connective tissue   the lining of hollow organs (almost the entire GI Tract) - Functions: SECRETION and ABSORPTION  
🗑
Serous Membranes   Squamous epithelium over Loose connective tissue   double lining of closed cavities: parietal layer = lines the cavity; visceral layer = covers the organ - Function: produces a watery secretion that REDUCES FRICTION  
🗑
Areolar Tissue   LOOSE Connective tissue - RANDOMLY placed cells (Fibroblasts and Macrophages) Matrix: LONG, thread-like fibers made of COLLAGEN and ELASTIN protein.   CONNECTS the SKIN to underlying TISSUE and fills spaces BETWEEN ORGANS. -LARGE cells = MACROPHAGES -SMALL cells = FIBROBLASTS -THIN fibers = COLLAGEN -THICK fibers = ELASTIN  
🗑
Adipose   large FAT-filled cells, TIGHTLY packed in SPARSE, NON-fibrous matrix   THROUGHOUT the body, especially UNDER the SKIN, amid SKELETAL muscle, and INSIDE long BONES  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   clumped cells (chondrocytes), invisible matrix   forms CONNECTIONS between RIBS and STERNUM, at the ends of long bones, and surrounding the TRACHEA  
🗑
Elastic Cartilage   clustered chondrocytes scattered amid SHORT, WAVEY, ELASTIN fibers in a COLLAGEN matrix   external EAR, EPIGLOTTIS, and EUSTACHIAN tubes  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   small cells, Matrix: PARALLEL bundles of COLLAGEN fibers   ARTICULAR DISCS, in larger JOINTS, and PUBIC SYMPHYSIS  
🗑
Compact Bone   ISOLATED cells (osteocytes)in Matrix of inorganic SALTS and COLLAGEN; cells are arranged RADIALLY around HAVERSIAN CANALS   ALL BONES of the skeleton  
🗑
Blood   RBC and WBC in liquid matrix (plasma)   throughout the CIRCULATORY system  
🗑
Haversian Canals   house small BLOOD VESSELS and NERVE fibers   in BONE  
🗑


   

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.
