22
Q

This tissue lines the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts

A

Epithelial tissue

23
Q

Forms top layer vocal folds; serves to protect, cleanse, lubricate, and aid in vibrations of the vocal folds

A

Epithelial tissue

24
Q

This tissue connects or binds structures together; supports the body, and assists in bodily maintenance

A

Connective tissue

25
Q

What is loose connective tissue?

A

Areolar and adipose

26
Q

Different types of connective tissue (4)

A

Loose connective tissue
Fibrous connective tissue
Blood
Bone

27
Q

Areolar and adipose is what kind of connective tissue?

A

Loose connective tissue

28
Q

Ligaments and cartilage is what kind of connective tissue?

A

Fibrous connective tissue

29
Q

Three types of fibrous connective tissue:

A

Yellow elastic
Hyaline cartilage
Yellow (elastic) cartilage

30
Q

Yellow elastic fibrous connective tissue is located where?

A

Trachea, cartilage, bronchi, lungs

31
Q

Fibrous connective tissue hyaline cartilage is located where?

A

Ribs, larynx, trachea, bronchial passageways

32
Q

The pinna of ear and epiglottis is what kind of fibrous connective tissue?

A

Yellow elastic cartilage

33
Q

3 types of muscle tissue:

A

Striated, smooth, and cardiac

34
Q

Striated muscle tissue is where?

A

Skeletal (voluntary)

35
Q

Smooth muscle tissue is where?

A

Muscle of internal organs (visceral)

36
Q

What is cardiac muscle tissue?

A

Combo of striated and smooth muscle (involuntary)

37
Q

Muscle origin

A

Point of attachment that is least mobile

38
Q

Muscle insertion

A

Point of attachment that moves with contraction; more distant from the body

41
Q

5 types of tissue aggregates:

A

Fascia, ligament, tendons, bones, joints

42
Q

Tissue aggregate: rounds organs (band); sheet like membrane; may be thick or thin; striated muscle is surrounded by perimysium

A

Fascia

43
Q

Tissue aggregates:

Refers to binding; binds organs together; or holds structures in place; skeletal ligaments bind bone to bone

A

Ligament

44
Q

Tissue aggregate: attaches muscle to bone or cartilage; same form as the muscles they serve

A

Tendons

45
Q

Three types of joints:

A

Fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, synovial joints

46
Q

Type of joint:

(Immobile) i.e. sutures between bones of the skull

A

Fibrous joints

47
Q

Type of joint:

Provides union between two bonds (limited movement)

A

Cartilaginous joints

48
Q

Type of joint:

Joint cavity which contains synovial fluids (lubricating substance)

A

Synovial joints

49
Q

5 systems of speech:

A

Respiratory, phonatory, articulatory/resonatory, nervous system, auditory system

50
Q

(Lungs) “power source” for speech and voice

A

Respiratory

51
Q

(Larynx) provides the voicing (all vowels and certain phonemes)

A

Phonatory

52
Q

(Vocal tract) shapes and modifies the acoustic source provided by voicing or other gestures to produce speech sounds

A

Articulatory/Resonatory

53
Q

(CNS & PNS) Controls musculature, receives and makes sense of input information

A

Nervous system

54
Q

Processes speech and nonspeech acoustic signals received and perceived by listener

A

Auditory system

55
Q

Mastication

A

Process of chewing

56
Q

Deglutition

A

Process of swallowing

57
Q

Tissue aggregate:

Begins as cartilaginous mass, hardens overtime (rib cage)

A

Bones

58
Q

Tissue aggregate:
Unions of bones with other bones or cartilage with other cartilage; classified based on the degree of movement that they allow

A

Joints
