exercise 3 Flashcards
If cells in epithelial tissue are arranged in a single layer, this is called a ___ Arrangement. If the cells are in multiple layers this is called a ___ Arrangement. in a ___ Arrangement, the cells are actually in a single layer but falsely appear to be layered
simple
stratified
pseudostratified
A group of similar cells that performs a specialized function is called a
tissue
In connective tissues the cells are widely spaced. Cellular matrix Consists of protein fibers and a ___ A variable consistency (fluid to solid)
ground substance
The extracellular matrix of connective tissues often contains collagen and or elastic fibers, which are produced by a fixed cell called a
fibroblast
___. Tissues are characterized by cells that are either squamous open perm to see broad and flat), cuboidal, or columnar in shape
epithelial
___. Tissues blind organs together and provide support.
connective tissue
A specialized type of leukocyte that leaves the circulation and becomes a wandering cell and connected tissues, providing defense against infection is a ___
macrophage
___. Tissues are capable of shortening and thickening. Are characterized by light and dark cross markings called
striations
—. Tissues are always fun covering a surface or lining an organ and lack blood vessels. The tissue is bound to underline connective tissue by a non cellular substance called the basement membrane .
epithelial
the outermost layer of epidermis consisting of keratinized cells is called the
corneum
the ___ is the layer of skin comprised primarily of areolar connective tissue and irregular dense fibrous connective tissue
dermis
technically not a layer of the skin, the ___ or ___ is the region beneath dermis consisting of loose fibrous connective tissue and adipose tissue
hypodermis
subcutaneous layer
the layer of epidermis characterized by cells with shriveled nuclei is the
granulosum
___. are a secretory accessory structure involved in body temperature regulation
eccrine sweat gland
the actively reproducing layer of epidermal cells adjacent to basement membrane is the
stratum basale
