Chapter 5 Tissues Flashcards
tissue found in blood vessels and some organs
Muscle
tissue that contains a lot of intercellular matrix
Connective
tissue that readily divides
Epithelial
tissue that has no blood supply (avascular)
Epithelial
tissue that controls sensory functions and coordination
Nervous
most abundant tissue
Connective
tissue that contains a basement membrane
Epithelial
tissue that controls movement of body parts and substances
Muscle
tissue that has a good blood supply (except for cartilage)
Connective
tissue that consists of neurons and neuroglia
Nervous
one layer, cube shaped cells
simple cuboidal epithelial tissue
many layers, long cells
stratified columnar epithelial tissue
many layers, flat or squished cells
stratified squamous epithelial tissue
one layer, long cells
simple columnar epithelial tissue
one layer, flat or squished cells
simple squamous epithelial tissue
one layer, long cells where the nuclei appear to be on different levels
pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue
multiple shapes of cells, distensible
transitional epithelial tissue
makes up and contribute to sweat glands and hormones
glandular epithelial tissue
star shaped cells that produces fibers
fibroblasts
cell that functions in immunity, especially phagocytosis
macrophages
fibers that can stretch and compose organs such as the vocal cords
elastic fibers
thin fibers for delicate support
reticular fibers
fibers found in tendons or ligaments
collagenous fibers
cells that release heparin and histamine
mast cells
tissue attached to the bones
skeletal muscle tissue
tissue found in certain organs, no striations
smooth muscle tissue
