Question	Answer
cells grouped together	tissues
protects the body by covering internal and external services	epithelial tissue
connects organs and tissues ( most abundant)	connective tissue
contains cell material which has the ability to contract and move the body	muscle tissue
contains cells that react to stimuli and conduct an inmpulse	NERVOUS TISSUE
formed by putting two thin layers of tissue together	membrane
line surfaces and spaces that lead to the outside of the body respiratory,digestive ,reproductive, and urinary systems	mucous membranes
lines the respiratory passages	respiratory mucosa
lines the stomach	gastric mucosa
lines the small and large intestines	intestinal mucosa
cells form a continious layer covering internal and external body surfaces provide protection,produce secretions( digestive juices,hormones,perspiration, and regulate the passage of materials across themselves	epithelial tissue
flat,irregularly shaped cells. line the heart blood and lymphatic vessels,body cavitites and alveoli(air sacs) of lungs	squamous epithelial cells
cube shaped cells line the kidney tubules and cover the ovaries and secretory parts of certain glands	cuboidal epithelial cells
cells are elongated with the nucleus generally near the bottome and often ciliated on the outer surface	columnar epithelial cells
cells are specialized to secrete materials such digestive juices hormones milk perspiration and wax they are columnar or cuboidal shaped	glandular or secretory tissue
these cells form ductless glands which secrete their substances ( hormones) directly into the bloodstream	endocrine gland cells
cells secrete their substances into ducts mammary glands, sweat glands and salivary glands are examples	exocrine glands cells
cells whose intercellular secretions (matrix) support and connect the organs and tissues of the body	connective tissue
tissue that stores lipids(fats) acts as filler tissue,cushions,supports,and insulates the body (found throughout the body in the subcutaneous skin layer	adipose tissue
tissue surronds various organs and supports both the nerve cells and blood vessels which transport nutrient materils to cells and waste away from cells	aerolar(loose) tissue
forms ligaments,tendons,and aponueroses	dense fibrous tissue
are strong flexible bands (or cords) which hold bones firmly together at the joints	ligaments
are white glistening bands attaching skeletal muscles to the bones	tendons
are flat wide bands of tissues holding one muscle to another or to the periosteum(bone covering)	aponueroses
are fibrous connective tissue sheets that wrap around muscle bundles to hold them in place	fasciae
comprises the skeleton of the body which supports and protects underlying soft tissue parts and organs and also serves as attachments for skeletal muscles	osseous(bone tissue)
provides firm but flexible support for the embryonic skeleton and part of the adult skeleton	cartilage
forms the skeleton of the embryo	hyaline
strong flexible supportive substance found between bones and wherever great strength (and a degree of rigidity) is needed	fibrocartilage
intercellular matrix is embedded with a network of elastic fibers and is firm but flexible	elastic cartilage
transports nutrient and oxygen molecules to cells and metabolic wastes away from cells (can be considered as a liquid tissue)	blood
transports tissue fluid proteins,fats,and other materials from the tissues to the circulatory system	lymph
the cells have the ability to contract to enable the heart to pump blood throughout and out of the heart	cardiac muscle
muscles are attached to the movable parts of the skeleton caple of rapid powerful contractions and long states of partially sustained contractions allowing for voluntary movement	skeletal(striated voluntary) muscle
provide for involuntary movement	smooth(nonstriated voluntary)
branches through which various parts of the body are connected and their activities coordinated found in the brain,spinal cord,and nerves	neurons(nerve cells)
ability of nerve tissue to respond to enviromental changes	irritability
ability to carry a nerve impulse (message)	conductivity
double walled membrane that produces a watery fluid and lines closed body cavities	serous membranes
outer part of the membrane that lines the cavity is known as	parietal membrane
overs the organ within is known	visceral membrane
is given to the specific serous membranes all beginning with the letter p	serosa
lines the thoracic or chest cavity and protects the lungs the fluid is called plueral fluid	pleural membrane
lines the heart cavity and protects the heart. fluid called pericardial fluid	pericardial membrane
lines the abdominal cavity and protects the abdominal organs fluid is called peritoneal fluid	peritoneal membrane
specialized type of epithelial membrane	cutaneous membrane(skin)
lines joint cavities	synovial membrane
structure of several types of tissues grouped together to perform a single function	organ
group of organs that acts together to perfom a specific related function is called	organ system
pain swelling,redness and loss of motion	inflammation
resulting from an external force will cause tissue damage and injury	trauma
cells can also alter tissue and cause damage and trauma	abnormal growth
from a change in structure or function of tissue at the chromosal level or a result of enviromental factors	birth defects
takes place in a clean wound	primary repair
cut or incision on the skin where infection is not present	clean wound
when capillary fluid dries and seals the wound	scab
if a great or deep area of skin is destroyed skin may be needed to help in wound healing	skin grafts
when damage occurs to d eep tissues the edge of the wound must be brought together with	suture
gives shape to body protects delicate parts of the body provides space for attaching muscles is instrumental in forming blood stores minerals	skeletal
determines posture produces body heat provides for movement	muscular
prepares food for absorption and use by body cells through modification of chemical and physical states	digestive
acquires oxygen rids body of carbon dioxide	respiratory
carries oxygen and nourishment to cells of the body carries waste from cells provides body defense	circulatory
removes waste products of metabolism from body	excretory
communicates controls body activity coordinates body activity	nervous
manufactures hormones to regulate organ activity	endocrine
reproduces human beings	reproductive
helps regulate body temp establishes a barrier between the body and enviroment eliminates waste synthesis vitamin d contains receptors for temp pressure and pain	integumentary
will form new vertically upstanding blood vessels	granulation
properties which help reduce the risk of infection during wound healing	bactericidal(bacterial-destructing)
tissue formed depends on the extent of tissue damage from a	scar(cicatrix)
aids in repair of epithelial tissue especially the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract	vitamin A
helps to promote the general well being of the individual	vitamin B
helps in the normal production of and mainteanance of collagen fibers and other connective tissue substances	vitamin c
needed for the normal absorption of calcium from the intestine	vitamin d
helps in the process of blood coagulation	vitamin K
helps healing of the tissues by acting as an antioxidant protector	vitamin E
