Epithelial and Connective Tissues Flashcards
This type of tissue is avascular
Epithelial tissue
This type of tissue has an extracellular matrix
Connective tissue
This type of tissue: Protects Filters Absorbs Secretes
Epithelial
This type of tissue is apical
Epithelial
This type of tissue contains collagen, elastic and reticular fibers
Connective
This type of tissue is able to regenerate
Epithelial
This type of tissue is vascular
Connective
This type of tissue is most abundant and widely distributed
Connective
This type of tissue contains a basement membrane
Epithelial
In this type of tissue the cells are close together
Epithelial
This type of tissue:
Binds
Supports
Protects
Connective
Name the eight types of epithelial tissue
- Simple squamous
- Simple cuboidal
- Simple columnar
- Stratified squamous
- Stratified cuboidal
- Stratified columnar
- Pseudostratified columnar
- Transitional
Name the 13 types of collective tissue
- Bone
- Dense regular collective
- Dense irregular collective
- Blood
- Elastic cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage
- Fibrocartilage
- Areolar tissue
- Reticular
- Adipose
- Loose connective
- Fluid connective
- Lymph
This type of tissue looks stratified but is not; has cilia and found in respiratory system
Pseudostratified columnar (epithelial)
This tissue found in air sacs in the lungs, lining of heart and blood vessels; allows materials to pass by diffusion
Simple squamous (epithelial)
This type of tissue is one cell layer thick and is found in ducts, small glands and kidney tubules; main functions are to secrete and absorb
Simple cuboidal (epithelial)
This type of tissue protects you against abrasion; composes skin, mouth, and esophagus
Stratified squamous (epithelial)
This tissue allows for expansion and lines bladder, ureters, and urethra
Transitional (epithelial)
This tissue is found in sweat, salivary, and mammary glands
Stratified cuboidal (epithelial)
Type of tissue absorbs, secrets mucous and enzymes, is ciliated and found in bronchi and digestive tract
Simple columnar (epithelial)
This type of tissue found in male urethra, ducts of glands; secretes and protects
Stratified columnar (epithelial)
Composes tendons and ligaments
Dense regular connective
This category or tissue contains blood and lymph tissue
Fluid connective
Commonly referred to as fat, insulates and protects
Adipose (connective)
Transports oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body, contains plasma and cells
Blood (connective)
Composes the skeleton, made of hard matrix with calcium and collagen fibers
Bone (connective)
This type of cartilage composes your ear, nose
Elastic cartilage (connective)
This type of tissue composes the dermis
Dense irregular connective
This type of cartilage is most abundant, lines the bones and composes the embryonic skeleton
Hyaline cartilage (connective)
This type of tissue contains reticular fibers and forms mesh-like framework for organs
Reticular (connective)
This type of tissue fills spaces between muscles, surrounds blood vessels, organs
Areolar tissue (connective)
This type of cartilage forms discs in between the vertebrae
Fibrocartilage (connective)
This category of tissue contains areolar, adipose and reticular tissue
Loose connective tissue
