Lesson 1 Flashcards
group of similar cells performing a common function
tissue
the study of plant and animal tissues
histology
an instrument used to cut tissues into ultrathin tissues
microtome
cells are closely joined with material between them, non vascular
protection, secretion and absorption
epithelial tissue
single layer of cells
simple
multiple layer of cells
stratified
single layer of thin and tall cells
pseudostratified
cube epithelial tissue
cuboidal
flat epithelial tissue
squamous
column epithelial tissue
columnar
consists of a single layer of flattened cell, diffusion and filtration
simple squamous
consists of a single layer of cells that are roughly square in shape when cut in cross section, diffusion and filtration
simple cuboidal
consists of a single layer of cells that are taller, secretion and absorption
simple columnar
large amount of extra-cellular matrix with fewer cells and fibers, support, binding, storage, protection and circulation
connective tissue
consists of fibers, fibroblasts, maccrophages, plasma cells, adipocytes and mast cells. strength, elasticity and support
areolar connective tissue
consists of adipocytes. heat regulators and energy reserves
adipose tissue
consists of reticular fibers and reticular cells, filter and binds tissue
reticular connective tissue
consists of collagen fibers arranged in a bundle, provide strong attachments between various structures
dense regular connective tissue
consists of collagen fibers randomly arranged, provide strength
dense irregular cells
consists of elastic fibers, provides flexibility in an organ
elastic connective tissue
consists of collagen fibers and chondrocytes, provide smooth surfaces, flexibility and support
hyaline cartilage
consists of thread like elastic fibers and chondrocytes, support and maintain shapes
fibrocartilage
consists of collagen fibers and scattered chondrocytes, provide support
elastic cartilage
consist of osteocytes, provide support, protection, blood storage, and enable movement
bone tissue
consists of blood plasma, rbs, wbc and platelets, transport, circulation and defense
blood tissue
composed of long cells called muscle fibers, contraction and movement
muscular tissue
consists of long striated fibers (voluntary); motion, posture and heat production
skeletal muscle tissue
consists of branched striated fibers (involuntary); pumps blood
cardiac muscle tissue
consists of spindle-shaped cells and non striated (involuntary); transport, circulation and defense
smooth muscle cell
consists of neurons, cell body and long extensions called multiple dendrites; conduction and control
nervous tissue
