Chapter 4 quiz Flashcards
function of epithelium
ptrotectjin of skin and body cavity membranes, absorption of digestive system lining, filtration if kidneys, and secretion of glands (perspiration, oil, digestive enzymes, mucus, hormones)
forms mucous, serous, and epidermal membranes
epithelium tissue
allows for organ movements within the body
muscle tissue
transmits electrochemical impulses
nervous tissue
supports body organs
connective tissue
cells of this tissue may absorb and/or secrete substances
epithelium tissue
basis of the major controlling system of the body
nervous tissue
the major function of the cells of this tissue type is to shorten
muscle
forms hormones
epithelium tissue
packages and protects body organs
connective tissue
characterized by having large amounts of nonliving matrix
connective tissue
allows you to smile, grasp, swim, ski, and shoot an arrow
muscle tissue
most widely distributed tissue type in the body
connective tissue
forms the brain and spinal cord
nervous tissue
connective tissue function
connects body parts, supports, and protects
muscle tissue function
movement, highly vascular, many cells and fibers
nervous tissue function
found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis
stratified squamous
forms the lining of the stomach and small intestine
simple columnar
best suited for areas subject to friction
stratified squamous
lines much of the respiratory tract
pseudostratified columnar
propels substances across its surface
pseudostratified columnar
found in the bladder lining; peculiar cells that slide over one another
transitional
forms thin serous membranes; a single layer of flattened cells
simple squamous
voluntarily controlled
skeletal muscle tissue
involuntarily controlled
cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
banded appearance
skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue
single nucleus in each cell
cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
multinucleate
skeletal muscle tissue
found attached to bones
skeletal muscle tissue
allows you to direct your eyeballs
skeletal muscle tissue
found in the walls of stomach, uterus, and arteries
smooth muscle tissue
contains spindle shaped cells
smooth muscle tissue
contains cells with branching ends
cardiac muscle tissue
contains long, nonbranching cylindrical cells
skeletal muscle tissue
displays intercalated disks
cardiac muscle tissue
concerned with locomotion of the body as a whole
skeletal muscle tissue
changes the internal volume of an organ as it contracts
cardiac and smooth muscle tissue
tissue of the circulatory pump
cardiac muscle tissue
provided great strength through parallel bundles of collagenic fibers; found in tendons
dense fibrous connective tissue
acts as a storage depot for fat
adipose connective tissue
composed the dermis of the skin
dense fibrous connective tissue
forms the bony skeleton
osseous tissue
composed the basement membrane and packages organs; includes a gel-like matrix with all categories of fibers and many cell types
areolar connective tissue
forms the embryonic skeleton and the surfaces of bones at the joints; reinforces the trachea
hyaline cartilage
provides insulation for the body
adipose connective tissue
structurally amorphous matrix, heavily invaded with fibers; matrix is hard due to calcium salts
osseous tissue
forms the stroma or internal “skeleton” of lymph nodes, the spleen, and other lymphoid organs
reticular connective tissue
regeneration
the surface epithelium migrates beneath the dry scab and across the surface of the granulation tissue
fibrosis
repair of fibrous connective tissue, scar tissue
lupus
a systemic disease that occurs mainly in young females and particularly affects the kidneys, heart, lungs, and skin, can’t be cured, symptoms: fatigue, joint pain, rash, and fever, caused when the immune system attacks its own tissue
how does skin age over time
a result of sun and environmental damage and skin becomes thinner and more fragile
