Learning Outcome 2 Flashcards
Epithelial Tissue
Covers the internal and external surfaces of the body
Examples of epithelial tissue
Skin, hair, nails, mouth, nose, stomach, intestine and respiratory tract
Connective tissue
Connects, protects and supports other tissues. It holds organs in place and forms the framework of the body
Examples of connective tissue
Bone, cartilage, dense connective, fibrous, and loose connective
Muscle tissue
Help the body parts move by contracting and stretching
Skeletal muscle tissue
Voluntary muscles that attach to bones
Cardiac muscle tissue
Involuntary muscles that control contractions of the heart
Ligament
Attaches the bones
Tendon
Attaches muscle to bones or to another muscle
Membranes
Thin sheet-like structures made up of tissues
Membrane function
Cover, line, lubricate, and anchor body parts
Cutaneous, serous, mucous, synovial
Types of membranes
Cutaneous membrane
Outside tissue of body that protects body against infections and keeps fluid inside the body
Epithelial and connective tissue
What tissue is cutaneous membrane made up of
Serous membrane
Lines internal body cavities and internal organs
Serous membrane function
Secrete serous fluid to lubricate and cushion cavities and organs
Mucous membrane
Line cavities and organs that open to the outside of the body
Mucous membrane function
Secrete thick fluid it remove irritants
Synovial membrane
Inner linings of joint cavities between ends of bones
Synovial membrane function
Secrete thick fluid into the joint the joint to lubricate and decrease friction
Connective
Tissue of synovial membranes
Epithelial and connective tissue
Tissue in cutaneous, serous, and mucous membranes
