A

Epithelium specialized for secretion

17
Q

Ground substance

A

The protein/polysaccharide component of the extracellular matrix.

18
Q

Histology

A

The study of tissue (microscopic anatomy)

19
Q

Membranous (surface) epithelium

A

Tissue that forms all outer surfaces of the body and lines all of its lumina and cavities.

20
Q

Mesenchyme

A

Primitive connective tissue containing a large population of undifferentiated (stem) cells

21
Q

Muscle tissue

A

Functionally specialized for contraction.

22
Q

Skeletal muscle tissue

A

Voluntary and striated

23
Q

Smooth muscle tissue

A

Involuntary, non striated

24
Q

Cardiac muscle tissue

A

Involuntary, striated

25
Q

Neuroglial (glial) cell

A

The support cell of the nervous system. They support neurons physically and metabolically.

26
Q

Neuron (nerve cell)

A

Cell specialized for impulse transmission

27
Q

Primary germ layer

A

Three defined strata formed during embryonic gastrulation

Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm

28
Q

Regenerative capacity

A

The ability of a given cell or tissue to replace itself of lost, injured, or diseased.

Epithelial and connective tissue: high regenerative capacity

Muscle and nervous tissue: low regenerative capacity
