Classification Of Tissues Flashcards
Tissue structure and function
Lines body cavities and covers the body’s external surface
Epithelium
Pumps blood, flushes urine out of the body, allows one to swing a bat
Muscle
Transmits electrochemical impulses
Nervous Tissues
Anchors, packages, and supports body organs
Connective Tissues
Cells may abosorbe, secrete, and filter
Epithelium
Most involved in regulating and controlling body functions
Nervous
Major function is to contract
Muscle
synthesizes hormones
Epithelium
The most durable tissue type
Connective
Abundant nonliving extracellular matrix
Connective
Most widespread tissue in the body
Connective
Forms nerves and the brain
Nervous
Lining of the esophagus
Stratified Squamous
Lining of the stomatch
Simple columnar
Alveolar sacs of lungs
Simple squamous
Tubules of the kidney
Simple cuboidal
Epidermis of the skin
Stratified squamous
Lining of bladder: peculiar cells that have the ability to slide over eachother
Transistional epithelium
Forms thin serous membranes: a single layer of flatened cells.
Simple squamous
Attaches bones to bones and muncles to bones
Connective Tissue
Acts as storage depot for fat
Adipose Tissue
The dermis of the skin
Dense Connective Tissue
Makes up the invertebral discs
Fibrocartilage
Forms your hip bone
Osseous Tissue
Composes basement membranes: soft packaging tissue with jellylike matrix
Areolar Connective Tissue
Forms the larynx, the costal cartilages of the ribs, and the embryonic skeleton.
Hyaline cartilage
Provides a flexible framework for external ear
Elastic Cartilage
Firm, structurally amorphous matrix heavily invaded wih fibers; appears glassy and smooth
Hyaline Cartilage
Matrix hard owing to calcium salts; provides levers for musclesto act on
Osseous Tissue
Insulates against heat loss
Adipose Tissue
