Ch 4 Anatomy Flashcards
Four main tissue types
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Matrix is also called
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
Collagen
A protein that forms twisted rope like fibers that provide flexible strength to tissue
Elastin
Right rubbery protein that provides elastic stretch end rebound in tissues
Polysaccharides and proteoglycan
Help link cells, absorb shock, regulate function, and lubricate
Covers body and lines body cavities
Epithelial tissue
Cells packed closely together with little matrix
Epithelial tissue
Describes a tissue in which cell shapes change as tissue stretches
Transitional
Single layer of scale like cells adapted for transport
Simple squamous
Single layer of cube like cells often specialized for secretory activity
Simple cuboidal epithelium
Tall columnlike cells arranged in a single layer
Simple columnar epithelium
Loose fibrous connective tissue
Areolar
Fibrous glue that hold organs together
Fascia
White fat stores
Lipids(triglycerides
Brown fat produces
Heat
Delicate net of collagen fibers, as in bone marrow
Reticular tissue
Muscle tissue does what?
Contracts to provide movement or stability, produces body Heath
What tissue provides structural and functional support
Epithelial
