animal form and function Flashcards
why are animals heterotrophic
they absorb organic molecules or ingest larger food particles
what are the defining characteristics of animals
nervous and muscle fibers
what are tissues
group of similar cells acting as a functional unit
what provides structural support for epithelial tissue
basement membrane
functions of epithelial tissue
protection, absorption, secretion
tissue that covers outside of the body, lines organs and cavities, closely joined cells
epithelial
shape of epithelial tissue that regulate different passages in the body
squamous
shape of epithelial tissue for absorption and secretion eg. kidney, thyroid
cuboidal
shape of epithelial tissue for absorption of nutrient eg intestine
columnar
tissue found in the skin
stratified squamous epithelial
example of where to find simple squamous epithelium
alveoli
simple columnar epithelium example location
intestine or stomach
cuboidal epithelium example of location
kidneys
main function of connective tissue
bind and support other tissues
composition of connective tissue
fibroblasts scattered in ecm
fibers that provide strength and flexibility
collagenous
where collagenous fibers
cartilage, tendons, ligament
fibers that join connective tissue with its adjacent tissues
reticular
Which of the statements are true:
1. Epithelium tissue is avascular
2. Connective tissue is vascular
both statements are true
connective tissue that binds epithelia to underlying tissue
loose connective tissue
connective tissue that hold organs in place
loose connective tissue
fibers are dispersed and have enough space for interstitial fluid
loose connective tissue
loose connective tissue is aka
areolar
differentiate tendons and ligaments
tendons - muscle to bone
ligament - bone to bone
what are under fibrous connective tissue
tendons
ligaments
function of adipose tissue
store fat for insulation and fuel
why does the rbc of frogs have nucleus
dont need extra space for oxygen kasi they can do cutaneous respiration
erythrocytes
rbc
leukocytes
wbc
thrombocytes
platelets
platelets are fragments of what
megakaryocytes
cells of cartilage are called
chondrocytes
differentiate axons and dendrites
axon - away from the body, longer
dendrites - towards the cell body, shorter
