Question
Answer
show Forms boundaries between different environments, protects, secretes, absorbs, filters. Skin surface (epidermis)  
🗑
show Supports, protects, binds other tissues together  
🗑
Muscle   show
🗑
Nervous   show
🗑
Characteristics of Epithelial Tissue   show
🗑
show surfaces may bear microvilli.(brush border of intestinal lining) or cilia (lining of trachea)surface is toward a lumen (open space)  
🗑
show surface binds directly to other cells through desmosomes, tight junctions, or gap junctions  
🗑
basal surface (epithelial)   show
🗑
show 1. Cells are tightly packed and attached by cell junctions (tight junctions and desmosomes) 2 Epithelial tissue is avascular (lacks circulatory system) 3 Is supported by connective tissue reticular lamina (under basal lamina)  
🗑
show 4 Nerves only send projections into tissue 5 Covers the surfaces of the body (internal and external) 6 Has a high rate of regeneration  
🗑
show Keep substances from passing between cells Line Simple Epithelia Columnar Epithelia in the Intestine  
🗑
show Allow small molecules and ions to pass through to adjacent cells.Found in most epithelial cells (Nerve and Cardiac cells).  
🗑
Desmosomes   show
🗑
Hemidesmosomes   show
🗑
Adherance Junctions   show
🗑
Squamous cell   show
🗑
Columnar   show
🗑
Cuboidal   show
🗑
Simple Squamous Epithelial Cells   show
🗑
show Location:Tubules of kidneys,Pancreas,Thyroid, Small glands,Ovary Function:Secretion,Absorption  
🗑
Simple Columnar Epithelial Cells   show
🗑
Stratified Squamous Epithelial Cells   show
🗑
Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelial Cells   show
🗑
show Location:-Urinary bladder-Ureters-Urethra Function:-Stretches readily and permits distention(cells change shape)  
🗑
show A gland is one or more cells that makes and secretes an aqueous fluid Classified by:Site of product release—endocrine or exocrine -Relative number of cells forming the gland; unicellular (goblet cells) or multicellular  
🗑
Glandular Epithelia (types)   show
🗑
Endocrine glands   show
🗑
Exocrine glands   show
🗑
show Unicellular exocrine glands-Goblet cell (found in respiratory tract) Multicellular exocrine glands-Are composed of a duct and a secretory unit  
🗑
show Merocrine-Products are secreted by exocytosis(pancreas,sweat and salivary glands) Holocrine-Products are secreted by rupture of gland cells(sebaceous glands)  
🗑
show Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue,Loose (Reticular) Connective Tissue,Adipose Tissue,Dense Connective Tissue(Regular Irregular),Cartilage,Bone,Blood  
🗑
show Tendons – Binds tissues together Dermis of Skin, Membranes -Supports and strengthens other tissues Skeleton - Protection of vital organs Blood - Transport Fat – Insulation and Energy Storage  
🗑
show Mesenchyme-Gives rise to all other connective tissues.Gel-like ground substance with fibers and star-shaped mesenchymal cells  
🗑
show -Fibroblasts in connective tissue proper -Chondroblasts and chondrocytes in cartilage -Osteoblasts and osteocytes in bone (blast-builds something) (cytes-maintain surrounding tissue)  
🗑
show Collagen Reticular Elastic Fibers  
🗑
show Consists of Elastic Fibers and Collagen Fibers. Widely distributed, under skin, digestive tract, surround organs/capillaries. Fibroblasts, Macrophages, Mast cells  
🗑
show Found in lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow) Supports other cell types including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages. Fibers in a loose ground substance.  
🗑
Dense Connective Tissue   show
🗑
show Some reticular fibers, adipocytes store fat Widely distributed in the body  
🗑
show Irregularly arranged collagen fibers. Function Can withstand tension in many different directions.Provides structural strength. Location:Dermis of the skin,Fibrous capsules of organs and joints,Submucosa of digestive tract.  
🗑
show -Fibroblasts secrete collagen, all fibers parallel -Found in Tendons, Ligaments, Dermis of the Skin -High proportion of Collagen fibers -Withstands great stress in one direction  
🗑
show -Fibroblasts secrete collagen, all fibers parallel -Vocal cords, Blood Vessel Walls, Bronchial tubes -High proportion of Elastic fibers -Allows recoil of tissue following stretching  
🗑
Characteristics of Cartilage   show
🗑
Hyalin Cartilage (most abundant)   show
🗑
show -More elastic fibers in the matrix -Ear, nose and epiglottis -Can recoil when bent -Maintains shape and flexibility  
🗑
Fibrocartilage   show
🗑
Bone (connective tissue)   show
🗑
Blood (connective tissue)   show
🗑
Nervous Tissue   show
🗑
show -Striated, long cells, multinucleated -Muscles that voluntarily move the skeleton  
🗑
Cardiac muscle (muscle tissue)   show
🗑
show No striations, involuntary  
🗑


   

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.
