Question | Answer |
muscle tissue | composed of cells that shorten or contract that cause body movement |
called fibers rather than cells because they are long a slender | |
3 types of muscle tissue | skeletal, smooth, and cardiac |
skeletal muscle | attached to bone also called striated msucle because of appearence |
moves skeleton, maintain posture and stabilize joints | |
smooth muscle | found in the walls of the viscera such as stomach, intestines and bladder |
also found in bronchioles and blood vessels; function related to organ | |
cardiac muscle | found only in heart; function to pump blood |
tissue repair | regeneration and fibrosis |
regeneration | occures only in tissues whose cells undergo mitosis such as the skin |
figrosis | replacment of injured tissue by the formation of fibrous connective tissue; scar tissue |
keloids | excessive fibrosis |
membranes | thin sheets of tissue that cover surfaces, line body cavities and surround organs |
2 classification | epithelial and connective |
epithelial membranes | cutanious membranes (skin), mucous membranes and serous membranes |
cutanious membranes | the skin, outer layer of skin (epidermis), underlying layer (dermis) |
mucous membranes | line all body cavities open to exterior of the body; absorption and secretion |
serous membranes | line the ventral body cavities, not open to the exterior of the body |
parietal layer | lines the walls of the cavity |
visceral layer | covers the outside of the organ |

pericardium | found in the thoracic cavity and partially surrounds the heart |
pericardial cavity | space between the pericardial membranes |
peritoneum | found within the abdominal cavity |
carcinomas | malignant tumor involving epithelial tissue |
sarcoma | involves connective tissue |
adhesions | abnormal joing of tissues by fibrous scar tissue; may bind or constict organs |
cancer | abnormal growth that can affect all types of tissues and membranes; named by tissue type |
collagen diseases | collagen can be destroyed causing damage to the connective tissue; rheumatoid arthritis;lupus; scleroderma |
gangrene | death, necrosis of sofet tissue of the body such as toes fingers, intestines; arteries become clogged with fat and impede blood |
neoplasm | tumor, malignant or benign |
