Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Squamous | protection (roof); composes skin; lines hollow organs; can be either simple or stratified; broad, flat, and irregular; epithelial |
| Cuboidal | lines glands, secretes; either simple or stratified; vascular to secrete in blood; cube shaped; epithelial |
| Columnar | ciliated cells, secretes mucous, lines glands, respritory, urinary, reproductive, absorb; simple or stratified; vascular to absorb in blood; rectangular cubes, epithelial |
| pseudostratified | lines bladder and uterus; single layer; random positioning of the nucleus; vascular, insensitive; combination of cell types; only epithelium that will stretch. |
| aerolar | supports for cells, fills in spaces, repairs injury, cleans up debris, immune response, loosest tissue, (packing peanuts), loose connective tissue |
| adipose | stores energy, fat, "bubble wrap", protection, padding, stored between skin and muscle and around organs; loose connective tissue |
| reticular | fills in spaces between tissues and in organs, "packing peanuts", loose connective tissue |
| regular dense connective tissue | cartilage (elastic, hyaline, and fibrocartilage), ligaments, and tendons; tough, strong; insensetive, avascular; composed of elastin and collagin; dense connective tissue type |
| irregular dense connective tissue | muscle coverings, dermis, skin (deep layer), somewhat vascular, insensetive, composed of elastin and collagin, dense connective tissue type |
| hyaline cartilage | found at joints; fairly inflexible, dense, avascular, insensetive, soft; dense connective tissue |
| fibrocartilage | found between vertebrae (discs); strong, dense; dense connective tissue |
| elastic | nose, ears; flexible, firm, strongest, never stops growing; dense connective tissue |
| compact bone | makes up middle of long bones and covering of flat bones; heavy, dense, brittle, highly vascular, supportive; bone tissue type |
| spongy | found at ends of long bones and in the center of flat bones; light, flexible; bone tissue type |
| blood | carries O2 and Co2, fights disease, triggers clot formation; (red, white, and platelets); type of the only liquid tissue type |
| lymph | fights disease; contains clotting proteins; white cells only; type of the only liquid tissue type |
| smooth | involuntary, not striated, strongest contraction, wavelike motion; walls of hollow organs; protein fibers |
| cardiac | involuntary, striated, cells contract simultaneously; walls of heart; protein fibers |
| skeletal | voluntary, striated, strong contraction; attached to bones; moves the skeleton, protein fibers |
| gray matter | brain, spinal cord; connect sensory and motor neurons in brain and spinal cord; conducts nerve impulses |
| white matter | brain, spinal cord; conduct impulses to the brain from the body and to the body from the brain; conducts nerve impulses |
| sensory neurons | brings stimuli from the body to the CNS; conducts nerve impulses |
| motor neurons | carries responses from CNS to the body; conducts nerve impulses |
| glial cells | support cells; insulates and connects blood supply; conducts nerve impulses |
| epithelial | small matrix, directly or indirectly on contact with the outside world; protect, secrete, or absorb; simple or stratified |
| connective | can be either loose, dense, osseous or vascular |
| muscle | protein fibers tissues |
| nervous tissue | conducts nerve impulses |
| loose connective | fills in and supports |
| dense connective | composed of elastin and collagin; either regular or irregular |
| bone | osseous connective tissue; either compact or spongy |
| vascular connective | only liquid tissue |
| exocrine | type of gland attached to an organ or cavity through a tube or duct; live close to work; many make enzymes |
| endocrine | secrete their products directly into blood; make hormones; can live far away from workplace |
| loose | forms protective capsules around organs that don't stretch much |
| dense regular | found in tendons, which attach skeletal muscle to bones |
| dense regular | found in elastic ligaments which attach bones to each other |
| dense irregular | deeper part of skin |
| adipose | full of large fat cells, stores excess carbs and proteins; richly vascular |
| cartilage | intercellular material, solid yet pliable, resists compression; structural models for vertebrate embryo bones; maintains shape of nose, outer ear, and other body parts; cushions joints |
| blood | derived mainly from connective tissue; has transport functions; circulating within plasma are a great many red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets |
| skeletal | contractile cells of ____ muscle tissue taper at both ends |
| striated | means "striped" |
| skeletal | which is not connective? bone, blood, cartilage, or skeletal? |
| epithelial | gland cells are contained in ___ tissues |
| connective | blood is considered to be a ____ tissue |
| smooth | muscle that's not striped and is involuntary is: |
| proteins | most membrane functions are carried out by: |
| smooth ER | free of ribosomes and curves through the cytoplasm like connecting pipes and is the main site of lipid synthesis. |
| nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm | 3 main parts to a cell |
| nucleus | the blueprint for all the protein the cell makes |
| rough ER | functions as the cell's internal transport system |
| ribosome | a ____ produces proteins |
| lysosomes | these digest bacteria and other foreign substances that may enter the cell |
| nervous | this tissue type functions in impulse conduction |
| epithelial | lines the stomach and small intestine |
| epithelial | lines the mouth |
| muscular | functions in contraction |
| connective | blood is classified as this type of tissue |
| epithelial | protection, absorption, and secretion |
| connective | cartilage is this tissue type |
| muscular | striated or smooth types |
| connective | includes adipose |
| heart | striated involuntary muscle is found in the: |
| osseous | concentric rings of cells can be found in this tissue type: |
| connetive | dermis is primarily composed of this tissue type |
| lipids | most of adipose's volume contains: |
