Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Epithelial | covers passages, lines internal cavities of the body, covers muscles and connects bones |
| Types of tissue | Epithelial & Connective Tissue |
| Epithelial Tissue Proper | Sheets of tissue, simple = one layer of cells, Epidermis, mucosal lining-mouth, nose; passages that run outside to inside |
| Endothelial | Type of epithelial tissue; lines the walls of blood vessels |
| Mesothelial | Type of epithelial tissue; lines internal body cavities (peritoneal, pleural, pericardial) |
| Connective Tissue | provides support for your body and connects all its parts |
| Loose Connective Tissue | netting or mesh, non-solid sheet to allow movement, found under skin (loose with age) loosely intertwined fibers between cells; types: areolar, adipose, reticular |
| Dense Connective Tissue | tight dense fibers, strong, does not allow for much movement |
| 2 Types of Dense Connective Tissue | White & Unyielding, Yellow & Elastic |
| Tendons | attach muscle to muscle, muscle to bone, and muscle to cartilage |
| Aponeuroses | flat sheets of tendon, connects multiple muscles together |
| Ligaments | elastic, connecting bone to bone, bone to cartilage or cartilage to cartilage |
| 4 Dense Connective Tissues | Tendons, Ligaments, Fascia, & Reticular Tissue |
| 2 Special Connective Tissue | Cartilage and Bone |
| Cartilage | described by color, continues to grow |
| Hyaline | blueish white surface of joint, common in larynx |
| Elastic Cartilage | (yellow) rubbery--> ear, eustachian tubes |
| Fibrocartilage | (greyish) in between vertebrae in the back |
| Bone | dense compact connective tissue, solid osseous bone, covered in periosteum |
| cancellous | contains red marrow, yellow marrow (edipose contains fat) |
| Perichondrium | around the cartilage |
| Long Bone | longer in length than width |
| Short Bone | more width that length |
| Flat Bone | skull, sternum, face,etc, thin, flattened, & curved |
| 2 Parts of Skeleton | 1) Axial 2)Appendicular |
| Axial Skeleton | the part of the skeleton that includes the skull and spinal column and sternum and ribs |
| Appendicular Skeleton | forms the extremeties and is composed of the shoulder girdle, arm bones, pelvic girdle, and leg bones |
