Chapter 4 Pt. 1 Flashcards
What is tissue?
a group of cells of similar type that work together to serve a common function
What are the primary types of tissues?
- Epithelial Tissue
- Connective Tissue
- Muscle Tissue
- Nervous Tissue
Which primary tissue is this: covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and organs, and forms glands
Epithelial Tissue
Which primary tissue is this: serves as a storage site for fat, plays an important role in immunity, and provides the body and its organs with protection and support
Connective Tissue
Which primary tissue is this: responsible for body movement and for movement of substances through the body
Muscle Tissue
Which primary tissue is this: conducts nerve impulses from one part of the body to another
Nervous Tissue
What are the two characteristics that all epithelial tissue share?
- a free surface
2. basement membrane
A free surface,in epithelial tissue, serves as specialization for _________, _________, or __________.
protection
secretion
absorption
__________ __________- a non cellular layer that binds the epithelial cells to underlying connective tissue and helps the epithelial tissue resist stretching
basement membrane
What are the three basic shapes of epithelial tissues?
1) Squamous epithelium
2) Cubolididal epithelium
3) Columnar epithelium
What is the difference between simple and stratified?
Simple- a single layer of cels
Stratified- multiple layers of cells
What is a gland?
epithelial tissue that secretes a product
What are the two types of glands?
exocrine gland
endocrine gland
Is this exocrine or endocrine gland: secrete their products into ducts leading to body surfaces, cavities, or organs
Exocrine gland
Is this exocrine or endocrine gland: lack ducts and secrete their products, hormones, into spaces just outside the cells
Endocrine gland
