Anatomy
Biological structure/form
Physiology
Biological function
Bioenergetics
Surface area : volume, ratio
Animal tissues
Epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle
Epithelial tissues
Covers the outside of the body and lines the organs and cavities within the body
Basement membrane
Nonliving layer of fibers
Epithelial tissue functions
Protection, absorption, secretion, selective barrier
Types of epithelial tissue
Squamous, cuboidal, columnar (simple/stratified), pseudostratified
Connective tissues
Loose connective tissue, fibrous connective tissue, bone, adipose, cartilage, blood
Collagenous fibers
Provide strength and flexibility
Elastic fibers
Stretch and snap back to their original length
Reticular fibers
Join connective tissue to adjacent tissues
Fibroblasts
Secrete the protein of extracellular fibers
Macrophages
Involved in the immune system (eater cells)
