cells called______

A

muscle fibers

23
Q

not striated; involuntary

A

Smooth Muscle Cells

24
Q

striated with an intercalated disk for
synchronized heart contraction; involuntary

A

Cardiac Muscle Cells

25
Q

striated; voluntary movements

A

Skeletal Muscle Cells

26
Q

These help in peristalsis and other involuntary
functions of the body.

A

Smooth Muscle Cells

27
Q

Provide support, help in movement, and maintain
homeostasis

A

Skeletal Muscle Cells

28
Q

It helps in blood circulation and keeps the heart
pumping

A

Cardiac Muscle Cells

29
Q

Nervous Tissues

A

Neurons
Neuroglia
Neurosecretory Cells

30
Q

Nerve cells that send
messages all over your
body to allow you to do
everything from breathing
to talking, eating, walking,
and thinking

A

Neurons

31
Q

These are special cells
found in the brain and
spinal cord. They
provide support to the
neurons and fibers.

A

Neuroglia

32
Q

These function as endocrine
organs. They release
chemicals from the axons
directly into the blood.

A

Neurosecretory Cells

33
Q

Meristematic Tissues

A

Apical
Intercalary
Lateral

34
Q

-These occur at the growing tips
and apicals of roots and stems.
-They raise the length of the plant.

A

Apical

35
Q

-They occur at the
internodes and basis of
leaves.
-They raise the size of
the internode.

A

Intercalary

36
Q

-These occur in the radial parts of
the stems and roots.
-They increase the thickness of
plants.

A

Lateral

37
Q

Simple Permanent Tissues

A

Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma

38
Q

-These tissues are composed of
thin-walled cells having large
vacuoles.
-They are generally isodiametric
in shape.

A

Parenchyma

39
Q

They are elongated living cells
with minute little intercellular
gaps. Their cell walls are made
up of pectin and cellulose.

A

Collenchyma

40
Q

-They are long, narrow, and
thick-walled because of lignin
deposition in their cell wall.
-They do not have any
intercellular gap.
-Their main function is to
provide strength to the plants.

A

Sclerenchyma

41
Q

Complex Permanent Tissues

A

Xylem
Phloem

42
Q

-This tissue helps to transport
all dissolved substances and water
throughout the plant.
- It is also called
the chief conducting tissue.

A

Xylem

43
Q

-It is also called the plant’s
plumbing system.
-They carry the
dissolved food substances
throughout the plant.

A

Phloem

44
Q

Protective Tissues

A

Cork
Epidermis

45
Q

It is an external type of
protective tissue. These cells are
lifeless and lack intercellular gaps.

A

Cork

46
Q

This is a cell made up
of an outer casing throughout the
structure of the plants. The
stomata merge with this layer at
certain places.

A

Epidermis
