1st 20 Flashcards
The tissues of multicellular, complex animals are four primary types:
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers is
called
stratified epithelia.
cover the outside of organs and structures in the body and line the lumens of organs in a single layer or multiple layers of cells.
Epithelial tissues
When the cells are arranged in a single layer this is called? they facilitate diffusion in tissues, such
as the areas of gas exchange in the lungs and the exchange of nutrients and waste at blood capillaries.
simple epithelia
This is called BLANK and occurs
in the skin and in tissues lining the
mouth and vagina.
stratified squamous epithelium
They are most commonly found in a single layer representing a simple epithelia in glandular tissues throughout the body where they prepare and secrete glandular material.
Cuboidal epithelial cells,
cells are taller than they are wide: they
resemble a stack of columns in an epithelial layer, and are most commonly found in a single-layer arrangement.
Columnar Epithelia
enhance the movement of mucus and trapped particles out of the respiratory tract, helping to protect the system from invasive
microorganisms and harmful material that has been breathed into the
body.
Cilia
Connective tissues are made up of a matrix consisting of living cells and a
nonliving substance, called the
Ground substance
The principal cell of connective tissues is the BLANK This cell makes the fibers found in nearly all of the connective tissues.
Fibroblast (are motile, able to carry out mitosis, and can synthesize whichever connective tissue is needed.)
When a connective tissue has a high concentration of cells or fibers, it has proportionally a less dense matrix.
When a connective tissue has a high concentration of cells or fibers, it has proportionally a less dense matrix.
this provide strength to the tissue, preventing it from being torn or separated from the surrounding tissues.
Collage fibers
this fiber can stretch to one
and one half of its length and return to its original size and shape. blank blank provide flexibility to the tissues.
Flexibility fibers
are the third type of protein fiber found in connective tissues. This fiber consists of thin strands of collagen that form a network of
fibers to support the tissue and other organs to which it is connected.
Reticular fibers
Loose connective tissue, also called BLANK has a sampling of all of the components of a connective tissue.it is tough, yet flexible, and comprises membranes.
areolar connective tissue
